I think it would be less common if people accepted that monogamy is not the norm. Just be honest with yourself and your partner(s). If you want a monogamous relationship - commit to it. If not - don't start one. I found out that I am polyamorous the hard way by thinking I am some kind of monster because I couldn't just be with one partner. I did not cheat but kind of always had other love interests. Fortunately, my partner of 20+ years now was able to accept this as part of me. And now there is no risk of cheating for either of us because we can just be honest if there is someone else. It doesn't change my love for him, it even made our bond stronger because it needs even more loyalty and acceptance of the needs of your partner to let them be.

No, but seriously, half of my research time is wasted on renaming downloaded files. (Yeah, I know, there's reference management software but people use different ones, so sharing papers or storing them for easy access is still dependent on properly named files.)

Why is the BBC still using this disgusting photo for thumbnails? Could've just used a photo of Rubiales alone.

If science is too woke for you you better check your reality.

It is mostly complaining about the hardships of life as a creature without any responsibilities whatsoever.

My weird hobby is reading textbooks on forensic medicine and other forensic sciences. Like how to perform an autopsy, how to identify the cause of death, how to take and interpret fingerprints from different surfaces and such. I am a trained toxicologist but unfortunately only had basic training in forensic toxicology as part of my curriculum (and not working in that field now). 🙂

It is also extra ironic, because one of the arguments for not giving artifacts back to their home countries is "They can't handle and store them properly."

I think it is generally a bad idea to support sites that promote hatred and fascist ideas by providing them traffic and content.

Wie ich es verstehe, ist der Haupt-Unterschied zu Matrix, daß Du jeden Deiner Fediverse-Accs nutzen kannst (also mind. Masto und Pixelfed und ich meine auch Firefish).

This opinion is actuaöly very popular with me.

Frage mich, warum deutsche Medien es nicht schaffen zu sagen, daß Musk antisemitischen Verschwörungsdreck teilt und nicht nur "Rechtspopulisten", sondern einfach mal Rechtsextremen und Nazis nach dem Mund redet. Was soll denn immer diese Verharmlosung.

EDIT: Ah, wohl weil die Moderatorin selbst noch auf der Plattform ist... naja.

Not a single person in this thread who says Hitler? Kind of disturbing tbh.

Please use their full name Dickie MacDickface.

Die NYT dazu: "On Thursday, CNN reported that an excerpt from Walter Isaacson’s upcoming biography, “Elon Musk” said the billionaire had ordered the deactivation of Starlink satellite service near the coast of Crimea last September to thwart the Ukrainian attack. The excerpt said that Mr. Musk had conversations with a Russian official that led him to worry that an attack on Crimea could spiral into a nuclear conflict.

Later on Thursday, Mr. Musk responded on his social media platform to say that he hadn’t disabled the service but had rather refused to comply with an emergency request from Ukrainian officials to enable Starlink connections to Sevastopol on the occupied Crimean peninsula. That was in effect an acknowledgment that he had made the decision to prevent a Ukrainian attack."

Was into mini painting for a while when my partner and his friends still used to play BattleTech. I did play a bit myself but painting was much more exciting. :D I'd love to get back to it - always looking enviously at the Warhammer displays in our games store.

Ryan started A New Social https://www.anew.social/ that seems to aim at exactly this. So, maybe you could reach out and see if you could help there?

Wir müssen jetzt alle die Lemmy Community nutzen zum Kommentieren, denn bei Spotify kann man nicht upvoten.

I am here, too. Unfortunately I still have problems w/ Voyager app (can't upvote, don't get notifications and such) - my favourite way to use Lemmy... But I love it here anyway. :)

I'd love to but would need a lot more training to do so. Which I fear I won't get due to time and financial constraints - you know, being the bread winner of the family, full time job, a child... But on the other hand, I do love my current job and it earns me the money to buy all the expensive text books, so I won't complain. :D

Nachrichtenkonsum ist bei mir komplett weg von social media. Da regen mich nur noch alle selbsternannten Expert*innen auf.

Und zu #HouseKeeping: Kleine Aussprachehilfe einer Russian native speaker: PriGOHschin (das sch ist ein g wie das zweite in Garage). 😀
