I'm not sure I know this use of the term ethic, but it sounds interesting. Care to define or illuminate?

You're pitching it as though you have the women and you're trying to convince them. But what if you're the other person. What if they've already got a longer-term partner, and you're brought into their situation. Would you still be suspicious that they aren't okay with it?
For sure for sure, but I will say that in my experience the proper "poly" communities, at least in my area, have a higher rate of people who have thought about the nature of relationships and often already have some kind of stable attachment already.
Not all, for sure, but the odds are different for finding someone who has already demonstrated their ability to maintain connections to people over time, and is looking to extend that. Whereas in the monogamy world, every person is single for some reason, and you're hoping it was the other person last time. 😛
Honestly, because it's all I've ever known. As far as I'm concerned the voices are me, the real inner me, and things I say out loud are just an expression of that. Who are you when you're alone and quiet?
I've spent a lot of time with Open Source Programmers and other nerds, including in person, and I believe at least some of the issue is that some of them feel grooming and hygiene is purely aesthetic, bordering on "shallow". Like the way many of us think about Looksmaxxing or cosmetic surgery.
Like, you spend a bunch of time and money doing your hair or washing your clothes? That time didn't improve your card playing, it didn't teach you anything new. Shouldn't people be judged by what's inside instead of what's outside? Shouldn't people be judged by their skill or merit rather than their looks?
And I intentionally wrote that last one to feel borderline, because I think a lot of people do feel that way, and do believe those things, but not to the same extent. Their boundary for "hygenic enough" requires clean. And maybe the folks I'm characterizing don't know that it's actively unpleasant to be around someone who smells bad? Or maybe they're so steeped in it they don't know how bad it is?
Tangentially, this is one of the reasons some fem people struggle in these spaces. Any amount of eye-shadow, nice shirt, or hair-style is deemed as "superfluous", and so any person who spends their time and money on such things is regarded with suspicion. They're an idiot who wastes their time on looks at best, not to be trusted making other decisions, or a charlatan trying to trick lesser men with their wiles at worst. Those are the only two choices, because there's no other imaginable reason someone could do these things.
On March 27, 2018, Tenor was acquired by Google. The company has continued to operate as a standalone brand.
Huh, well if you couldn't see a way to make money with it, maybe you shouldn't have bought it...
Something about this reminds me if the I Spy books of my youth:
I think they were highlighting a different fact, which is that simply 5 people, not the 0.1%, have almost as much as the bottom 50%.
5 way, unless he's just watching the girls. Which, like, if that's his thing and they're into it, works too!
For me Jellyfin's strength is that it can keep track of my wife's place in her shows independent from mine, and also that the metadata and watched state and progress is synced between phone, tablet, and TV.
This city is actually in Canada, and July 4th isn't important here. July 1st is, though, but it seems they wanted to close out the week I guess and change policy on a Monday?
Hello! I've just started using StreetComplete, and I want to make sure I understand the answers before I go through and make a bunch of garbage data.
In this picture, is the kerb a ramp, or flush?
The sidewalk deflects downwards, but it's not a ramp ramp like the example picture.
How about this one?
The kerb itself dips, but the sidewalk on this one looks more flat and does simply run into the road. And then it has the texture, obviously. Is this one different from the last one?
Also, just to check, I marked both of these sidewalks as "concrete". That's correct, right? I wondered about "concrete plate", because they're segmented, but the picture made concrete plate look much more substantial.
My other question was based on the "lit" tag for a bus stop. This bus stop has a street light near it, but there's no light on the bus stop itself. It sounds like that means it is lit? Would a non-lit stop just be one that is fully dark at night, then, with no kind of lighting anywhere near it at all?
This one is further from the street light, but still has line of sight. Lit?
Thanks very much for any help you have!
Hello folks! I have these switches in my bathroom.
The rightmost is the lights, and the middle one is the bathroom fan, and I'd like to replace that middle one with something I could load tasmota on (or some other open source firmware), without replacing the other switch, the sockets, or the faceplate.
I haven't seen any smart switches that have a form factor that would fit through this faceplate, though; they seem to mostly want to be the entire electrical box.
If it weren't for the electrical plugs I could maybe replace this with some kind of 2-gang thing, which isn't really what I want but could be fine, but as it stands I'm not sure what my options here are.
I don't need the new switch to necessarily look like the old one, I just want it to fit in the same box and use the same faceplate. Do you folks have any recommendations?

Okay, okay... I think I'm getting it. You're saying darker skinned people are in Drag! I think I've got it now.
