You’ve never been in a restaurant that’s 21+?

Not only die, they love watching them be tortured and raped as well.

They could already have existing partners and wouldn’t be exclusive, but have an agreement to inform if there are new partners being added.

Also being exclusive is a more serious type of relationship than just friends with benefits imo.

How would they be exclusive if additional sex partners are allowed? It’s not an asking for permission scenario, it’s just keeping your partners informed of who is involved.

I’ve mostly done so for health reasons.

I think you’re underestimating how many parents may be here lol

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Parenting in a nutshell.

Hey thanks for the info! This was really helpful

It’s easier to use than Lemmy. Lemmy was the first I heard about in this whole set up and the first I tried out. Not too hard to pick up on, but I understand why the average Redditor may feel it’s more difficult to get in to.

I need to poke around Piefed more apparently.

Nature walks this weekend with my kid! The rain is going to break and we’re gonna look at all the new spring blooms coming up :)

The US can pound sand. They lifted sanctions on Russian oil for India. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

Is Alexandrite for piefed? I’ve been enjoying voyager, but am curious about exploring piefed more.

It’s a big ole boys club over here and it’s clear where they want to draw lines.

Reddit is much easier to use and has such a larger user base that one can tailor their experience to align much closer to their own interests. There’s not quite enough people on piefed and Lemmy to have that same experience.

There were starter packs when I made an account on Lemmy.today

Tbf Trump has said a lot more about Greenland than 1 tweet.

This is such a bullshit statement. Blaming only Iran? Really?

Yeah I don’t think Trump’s obsession with Greenland is over.

I wouldn’t expect anything less tbh

The entire article is women sharing stories of being abused in a specific way and the men in here are clutching their pearls about having to read about it. So many “not all men” type comments.

I don’t care if you think I’m a drama queen. Women deserve to be heard.

When you reply to my comment:

Just because it’s a type of abuse that happens at lower rates than other types doesn’t mean it’s worthless to talk about. For these women, it is a very real occurrence that happened to them. Why not give them space to share their stories?

with an ‘lol’ and deflection, yeah, it feels scornful.

Just say you don’t want to hear about women’s abuse stories and be honest.

Alpine divorce may not have been the most popular way to describe these type of circumstances where a man leads his partner into the wilderness and abandons her to die before this tiktok trend, but its a term that has been around for a long time and there have been plenty of men who have taken these kinds of actions against their partners.

Facts don’t care about your feelings.

The available data still matters, and it is worth being careful with it. A study of hiking accidents in the Austrian Alps between 2015 and 2021 found that men accounted for 80.8 percent of fatal victims, while nonfatal accidents involved more women. Those numbers are obviously not enough to make “alpine divorce” a statistical category of its own. What they do show is that the term’s recent rise does not come from some newly discovered data point. It comes from stories that expose a relational blind spot that broad accident statistics are not very good at capturing.

Forums do not replace studies or court records, but they do bring back the scene before the tragedy—or far away from tragedy. They show the moment when someone realizes, too late, that the “we just have different paces” line they had heard for months was not really describing the situation. It was putting them in their place. That is why the term hits a nerve. The mountains do not create these power dynamics from scratch. They strip them down, speed them up, and sometimes make them impossible to ignore.

That may be why “alpine divorce” has landed so hard. The term is imperfect, but at least it makes one thing visible: the outdoors are not somehow outside society. Trails, ridgelines, approaches, and long descents do not magically wash social power dynamics away. They carry them with them. And when one person walks ahead and treats their own stride as the only measure of the world, that is not just a story about cardio. It is also a story about power.>>
