I don’t have any interest in getting promoted again. I was at my current job for 6 months when they promoted me to the last real IC level. The only thing i gain from here is more responsibility. All this is going to do is rot Amazon’s culture as underperformers get promoted and excellent engineers become content to coast in the background.
Based. Top4top is the most genuine and violent form of love.
I like calling my trans gf a trap 😌
The only reason antibiotic resistant germs are different than regular germs is that antibiotics don’t work on them, which doesn’t matter if you don’t use antibiotics! 😆
Her reasons are more vague and appeal-to-nature-y. But you do raise a good point.
It’s a precious gift. I look for the others who care too much and then hold them close 🥹
Relatable. I love a girl like this. It’s exhausting and it’s slowly impacted my own sanity, but it’s not her fault. It’s mainly about germs with her. She gets really upset if we don’t wash our hands every 15 minutes or so. But at the same time, she’s afraid of antibiotics.
I used to smoke. Roommate and i quit at the same time and kept each other honest. It worked out really well and we’re both still grateful to each other a decade later.
One time i took my gf high into the mountains next to a thousand foot cliff, and we put a blanket down and…
We didn’t die! No regrets 😌
Am i the only developer who actually knows how to use an editor and solves problems that are more complicated than a typo? Was this meme written by someone who just graduated from a scam coding bootcamp?
My gf thinks she’s hot too. 99% sure we’re going to have a threesome if i don’t change course. And that will almost certainly blow up in my face.
But… 😭
>Be me
>Good relationship with gf
>Toxic ex who i am madly in love with suddenly pops back into my life
Fuck.
Chemo patients

Here in the Pacific Northwest, the vast majority of people under 50 seem to be in polyamorous relationships. I’m fairly new to poly, but I’ve done a lot of reading and therapy, and it’s working out pretty well for me.
I do tend to be people’s anchor partner, so I’ve admittedly never experienced the pain that comes from being a secondary when you wish you were a primary. My anchor partner tends more towards relationship anarchy and doesn’t like hierarchical relationships, but i made it clear that my expectation is to be the priority in her life. We’ve made it work, although it takes a lot of communication.
Real talk, how do you make (non-romantic) friends as an adult? I only have 3 close friends and all 3 of us are fucking 😐
They most certainly do care. They’ve been trying to solve this problem since before occupy. The playbook back then was to plant people to give everyone second hand embarrassment and discredit movements, and it largely hasn’t changed. Billionaires spend a lot of time thinking about the guillotine.
Probably it’s more the former reason. I used to curate my experience on reddit carefully and mainly participate woman centric subreddits, and few male centric ones, and I got used to that. Lemmy looks more like what would happen if you browse default subs on reddit, which tend to be very toxic. It’s a chicken and egg problem: you won’t attract women unless there are spaces women feel comfortable, and those spaces don’t exist unless there are women there to create them.
I still find myself going back to reddit for certain niche fashion or fitness things. And when i try to get my normie girlfriends to look at lemmy, it’s hard to sell them on it. They don’t care about politics or mod drama and reddit is still better for them.
Lemmy is super uncomfy for women right now. The women i know are either still on reddit or just gave up on social media altogether.
This young trans girl i know was kicked out by her parents and moved to my city. She was hatecrimed a few weeks after she moved, and went to the police. She was convinced that they were on her side. One of the cops gave her his phone number and she got the impression that he was interested in her and was going to hook up with him. My friends and i very emphatically talked her out of it. I wonder if she would’ve survived.
Not much of one in terms of percentage. I’m already making mid 6 figures.
