Absolutely. Can we be controversial together?

Reply to comment by cat in does anyone else habitually highlight text while reading it? by hollyhoppet
I think this is a pretty good reason that can't be criticized, anything that makes computing less dorky is good in my book.

Reply to how can i only do good consumption only? how do youse only do/attempt to do good consumption only? by cat
Yea, I feel you. I'm not doing the direct action but my fantasies are getting.....well, scary.
I don't think it's possible to only do good consumption. Think "least bad". Also, what I'm trying when I freeze up and get overwhelmed with afk stuff is "next best thing" and/or "best next thing".
I can't make my family respect me and stop gaslighting me but I can water this african violet or wash my favourite plate.
hth.....I'm there too so talking to myself as well as you.

Reply to comment by RoundSparrow in Why do people think Raddle and Voat are the only alternatives to Reddit? by rizzines
I greatly prefer text based forums and am very happy to have found this place. I was invited by another member. I am also on Raddle for political stuff, so I don't need as much of it here unless it is a different perspective or something that I hadn't thought about.
I hope it's okay that I shared the link and invited someone who is being abused on Twitter.

yea i do this all the time and its bad with some webpages that like popup stuff when you select. also i usually scroll by hitting spacebar and a ton of sites now have little popover menus over some of the page, and so spacebar scrolls a full page when it should really scroll a page minus the menu height if that makes sense
cute_spider_ni_srsly wrote
Yes I do that.

I don't know, because I was really drunk at the time.
Not much fun. Scary waking up because he was drunk too, I was a minor and he wasn't, and it was so not cool that our skins were different colours. :(
We literally never spoke to each other again. We were always running into each other at parties and dropping acid together. Once he pointed at me and said, "I boinked (pronoun)." randomly and I neither confirmed nor denied it.
ETA: I'm reading this: https://everydayfeminism.com/2016/05/alcohol-and-consent-questions/ and wanted to clarify that I do not feel raped by the man I gave my virginity to. He was a perfectly decent human being and we might have been friends under other circumstances.
The alcohol made both of us temporarily forget the existence of racism and statutory rape laws. I was just flattered that a "big kid" thought I was pretty, if you want to know the truth. What could have happened to a twenty year old black man who got drunk and woke up in a bed with a naked white fourteen year old girl in the 1970s is not something I particularly want to talk about.
If he felt raped by me, I am so sorry. That wasn't even on my radar until a few months ago.
:(

Me either and it has to do with childhood trauma/abuse.
I don't go around kicking puppies or anything and I like the CONCEPT of dogs, I just don't ever want to be responsible for one or in a situation where I can't just leave and avoid them.
