      First step to polyamory is consent.

        If I’ve learned anything from all those documentaries about cults, it’s that the first step to polygamy is identifying a vulnerable population

          Polygamy is fucked up

        That’s the difference between polygamy and polyamory

          You have to be a special kind of stupid to actually believe that

            I always knew I was special.

            Polyamory tends to be very focused on consent and the ethics involved. Polygamy tends to be pushed by religion to ensure an unequal power distribution.

            What do you have an issue with?

              Well, even then, the differences between a paradigm of romance, and a state-supported power-structure… Are not just ‘consent’, now, are they?

              Your implicit separation of religion from concepts like ethics and consent

                Can any religious practice ever be done with consent?

                Isn’t it always under duress when an eternity of damnation and unending torment is at stake?

                Sorry, holdover from catholic school. I should have specified: oppressive social movements couched in religion.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
