just catching up, and what a coincidence, my gender also feels like a bowl of icecream.

It melts in the sun?

One of the things that made me realize I'm polyamorous was watching shows in which the main character had two love interests and had to choose one, and I was always like "why... Don't you just date both...?" Like choosing one of them always sounded so stupid to me. If you genuinely like two or more people why the heck would you deny yourself the possibility to get close to one of them? Also, wouldn't that result in having a sense of regret, thinking "what if I chose the other one instead?"? That really makes no sense to me :')

Maybe you're just a cunt?

Of course they are operating with the Era Trans shield so no one is able to actually disagree and Kyuuji has probably convinced themselves that they are an insightful genius.

He always thought he was, they just don't dissuade his high opinion of himself:





This man felt like a fraud of a man, so elected to opt out and into the "easier" womanhood rather than challenge his preconceptions of gender and masculinity:

Look at those stick thin forearms! There's not an ounce of muscle on that lump of shit. Just useless human beings.

What don't understand is when they were asked in interviews why they went with lcd and not oled the reasoning they gave was the advancements in lcd technology since last time they used it.
Going by all impressions this is actually substantially worse than before?!

I'm legitimately afraid to travel from the United States to Europe this fall. My wife and I never got to take a honeymoon, and we planned last year to do it this year. We haven't purchased our tickets yet out of, well, fear. Fear that we'll be treated poorly because we're coming from a shit-hole racist country, fear that the ATC will screw up and we'll die in a ball of fire, as well as fear that we'll be detained / harassed upon re-entry (we're both vocally anti-anything conservative / maga / republican / right wing, whatever word you want to use to describe this nazi turds).

Am I being paranoid? Should I postpone this trip? Should we move ahead with it? HALP PLZ. If you've made the trek this year from the USA to another country, I'd love to hear your experiences both abroad, and upon returning.

A little context. I live in Kansas, both my Wife and I are US Citizens. My bio father was an immigrant from South America, mother is a US Citizen.

One of the most embarassing posts I've read on there. Good lord.

You sincerely are showing some serious disrespect to Europeans by projecting American behavior onto them.
For f's sake just act normal and people will treat you normal, walking around somewhere like some kind of timid mouse because of things out of your control is just unreal to me.

Oh, look, white supremacist DISMISSING CONCERNS yet again.

Mother's traveling to Europe next month and she's afraid as well, but mostly because she'll be so close to Ukraine and that Europe is full of criminals/pickpockets/terrorists tho so

Two posts later:

really the bigger issue is getting scammed/pickpocketed in some areas in europe and some sketchy hotels, and travel with electronics.

                      first guy's mom?

Went on a semi guided tour of London, Paris, and Rome last year and pickpockets were something we were warned about for Paris and Rome specifically.

You're being American. 

Just go. Don't be an arrogant arsehole (leave that to the French, they do it with charm), don't be overly loud, do attempt to respect local customs and you'll be fine. 

One thing you learn when you travel is that no one gives a fuck about you unless you're a cunt. Some people might even be interested if you're obviously NOT a cunt.



Edit: Fuck you Garfield you cunt.

My mom was scammed in France 10 years ago while in vacation: She went to EuroDisney.

Glad to see there's a few responses who point out that this situation involves two other people, not just the narcissist.

JFC, I wish sane people ran the world. I can only hope that at some point humanity evolves beyond this, and future generations will just look back at us in utter bafflement.

It's our job to make sure the history books explain how this wasn't some fluke it was the reaction of white supremacists and capital to the election of a black man as president and the potential election of a woman president.

Anyway, what's something you can say about The Bire but not ResetERA.com?

Never forget that some people on this board im sure voted for him

A lot of folks on Era like and support Donald Trump.

Also, Booshka got banned for something somewhere but I haven't found it yet.

All my life I'd known I was different. While others around me wore jeans and shirts. I yearned to wear pastel suits and loafers. I fantasized about driving through neon lit streets listening to Phil Collins. One night I put on the TV and saw something that changed my life forever. That thing was Miami Vice. It made me realize I was an undercover drugs cop. Not only that but that there were others out there. People like me who dreamed of living on boats and listening to Phil Collins. It was so liberating knowing I wasn't alone. I knew it wouldn't be easy. I knew I would face discrimination from people who hated undercover drugs cops and Phil Collins. But from the moment I rolled up the sleeves on my sports coat and ran over a Mexican I knew I had found my home.

I'm monoamorous

is there anyone who's stereoamorous meaning they cannot have just one partner, or three or more partners, and absolutely must find exactly two

[Lonewulfeus]

Does it bother anyone else that polyamorous is a combination Greek and Latin word?

People in here acting like America isn't responsible for the current state of the Iranian government.

People also sometimes acting like that is an excuse for what Iran has done and continues to do in the region and to its people.


Iran is not the good guy in this situation despite being opposite of the US and Israel.


Everyone involved here is varying degrees of shit.

Except I can clearly look at this whole conflict and see who the greater evil in all this is.

Not anymore. Decades passed - you can't drag those things forever.

Except for the fact that America has continued to de-stabalize the region since the shah was overthrown.

Its not a team sport. If everyone sucks there's no need to pick a side and borderline root for them like some have.

I like getting to the root cause of things, otherwise nothing will ever change. It's not about picking a side, it's about ensuring American doesn't cause another Iran, which is what is happening with Israel.

It's much more complicated than this.

And you can say the same thing about Turkey and Russia too, btw - a truly strong and fully independent Iran is not beneficial to these countries.

I don't think you can say the same thing for Turkey and Russia. Turkey is a NATO nation and will fold to America's wishes if push comes to shove. Russia isn't responsible for propping up the biggest destabilizing force is the region, Israel.

I do agree that Russia benefits from Iran not being fully independent as a way to fuel their war machine. That's just taking advantage of the situation that was created because of American involvement in the region.

Russia is responsible for causing the chaos in Syria and Libya. In the latter it was Wagner, we have dozens of reports of them causing chaos in the years after Gaddafi fell, and in the former they directly propped up Assad for the last decade. It's why shit collapsed as soon as they had to pull support to fight in Ukraine.

America was responsible for Gadaffi falling. As far as Syria goes, I still don't think you can compare the the destabilization Syria has caused in the region to the destabilization Israel has caused in the region.

This isn't really the bad guy Olympics.

I'm just looking at what countries have the best track record of causing conservative nationalist groups to come into power all over the world.

The Kremlin literally tried to occupy Iran in 1946.

And Erdogan still dreaming about Ottoman Empire.

Erdogan can dream all he wants, it still doesn't stop him doing the bidding of America. He talks a big game but his actions are the only thing that matters. As for the Kremlin, yea they tried to invade Iran. I'm not sure how this relates to the coup that America successfully did in Iran, besides the obvious thing of America taking the opposite position of the USSR.

Yes, if you blatantly ignore Wagner's bullshit in Libya: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-58009514

Again, I'm just looking at root causes. Which is going to be the only way to stop the enabling of military groups filled with modern day Nazis, like Wagner and the IOF.

Feckless B-Dubs allows users to violate the rules and compare Israelis to Nazis directly to him while letting Nepenthe bully him into not voting. Sad, low energy.

[benji]

Also the way everyone uses "destabilize" in that thread is funny. What would a stable Middle East look like in comparison? A bunch of countries ruled by the same regimes for decades? Increasing numbers of peace treaties between the states and decreasing numbers of declared conflicts? Oh...

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

From the polyamory thread:

I've had that feeling, too. Sadly, in most cases, there's no "just" about dating both. They wouldn't want that. Their friends and family wouldn't like it. Society doesn't like it.

We're seen as deviants. 😭

Maybe once upon a time that was the case, but as those who practice it are more open and have been appearing in the media (traditional and social), they're more seen as weirdos and losers. I recently saw a comedian on the Don't Tell youtube channel describe them as "jerking each other off and playing Magic The Gathering". I'm sure they'd much prefer the cool and rebellious label of "deviant".

It's kinda like how the label "queer" is increasingly being rejected by older gay people and becoming associated with boring straight people. Op even describes themselves as "aromantic", so they probably look exactly like we imagine.

No one is seriously watching any tv show and thinking it "doesn't make sense" that the main character doesn't just date both love interests without that possibility being part of the story.

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

Does it bother anyone else that polyamorous is a combination Greek and Latin word?  

Well it does now!

Why would you curse me with this knowledge?
