I don't think you're old enough to remember Neopets, but the Neopets community is the most wholesome, friendly, accepting, and generous forum I've ever been a part of. It's on reddit, but is the only reddit community I'm a part of. The website is still fully functional with all the original 2000/2010s elements and its my happy place.

I make nipple pasties as a hobby and love it! I specialize in blacklight reactive ones 😁

I don't know why people are still surprised by this... it's irresponsible to be giving birth, right now, unless someone is in a good place financially. Healthcare costs are ridiculous, houses are too expensive, jobs are basically all automated or outsourced to save CEOs money, and the world in general, is going to shit.

I got my fallopian tubes removed. If I change my mind about wanting kids, I'll adopt a teen whose been in the foster system for a while. Someone already on this earth. We don't need more new babies. There's hundreds of thousands of children in our current foster system who would love a home.

I'm happy to be an auntie... I'll never "grow up", so I'm happily going to be the one that will play video games, watch scary movies, put together Lego sets... but the oldest is only 4, so I'm impatiently waiting.

Welcome! I left when Reddit is Fun was shut down, and I feel so much safer, as a woman, on Lemmy.

Don't give them any ideas

I've never met a farmer who didn't give their dogs a large area to roam, with the exception of when the girls are in heat. Yeah, only two of my mates let their farm dogs into the house, but it's not fair to make blanket statements.

Not quite the same, but I'm waiting for the day when people will pronounce street names like the GPS, instead of how they are actually pronounced. The street Schoenherr, in my neck of the woods is pronounced "Shane urr (yes, like the planet Omicron Percii 8, cause Detroit (Day twah) is weird), but the GPS says "Shown her". I'm really curious to see how long it takes for the computer voice to be considered the correct one.

Something I'm seeing a lot is the statement "I'm not distancing myself because of political differences, I'm distancing myself because of moral differences"

Anyone who is happy at the expense of others losing rights, is not different from you politically, they're different from humanity, as far as basic ethics.

You're not selfish. You're strong. Stronger than me and I'm proud of you for trying to fight to help your dad, but please don't do it at your own expensive. I'm pan and non-monagamous but buried further in the closet than a cable that "definitely will be useful in the future" because my family would turn on me in a heartbeat.

Thank you! You're awesome

My friend is a lawyer and they've had their passport essentially confiscated by the government, instead of it being renewed. (They changed their gender) I am not optimistic, for the outcome, but it's oddly satisfying seeing a licensed attorney pissed off and going to bat. I hope they kick ass.

I can verify this! My roommate works for the DOD. He can't tell me much, but every federal worker has been warned they're going to be purged and replaced with staff Elon chooses. In addition, mandatory Return To Work orders have meant that many of his coworkers will be let go for "missing work" despite the fact that the military knows they moved and they've been working remotely for almost 5 years. It's skuzzy as fuck.
