  • Disclose everything to your partner and check with them.

    They said that you can date whoever you want, then they should be fine with it and appreciate the transparency.

    If they’re not okay with it, you can discuss it to understand each other and reach a common ground (which, if they are actually not okay with it, probably means not dating the other one, or breaking up, the other options are generally not a good idea).

    Overall, just communicate, as that’s the core of a decent relationship, and do not let disagreements break this communication, and you’ll be fine.


  • Thinking that Trump is smart because of that is like seeing a monkey throw poop in the air, not get it back on its head, and conclude that he is smart because of that.

    Trump is pathetically worthless. If you start having conclusions that imply that he is smart or good, it means that either

    • you are a maga supporter trying to sneak some propaganda here and there
    • this question is, indeed, too stupid for this comm

    Thus the downvotes.

    Even assuming that all you said would be true, the conclusion is absolutely not that Trump is smart. Even considering that he is lucky is a stretch here (I mean, he is lucky as fuck all things considered, but in that particular case, not so much).

    So yeah. You’ll have to find a very solid explanation for calling Trump smart, if you want to avoid downvotes, here or anywhere else.




  • Well, you should see how it is with birds

    "How is your bird, is he fine?

    - Yeah, he just suddenly laid an egg so we need to check his calcium intake

    - Ah, so it’s a she? Did she make more than one egg? Is she healthy?"

    And if you keep on saying a non-specific “he”, you get the “you’ll need to get used to saying ‘she’ now”

    The only reason people switch pronouns easily with animals is when it conforms the idea of “sex at birth = gender”, if your dog has male genitalia, and you tell people “yeah I know but it’s still a she”, people are going to look at you weird and ignore what you said. They’re just unable to see past that.

    Tldr: people are stupid boomers








  • Why are so many dumdums encouraging this?

    Other than the obviousness of the fact that there’s not any good reason to try, weed is known to cause a lot of issues for young people. Even medical cannabis is generally not recommended unless you’re pretty old, because the risks are not worth the effects.

    If you’re feeling the need to consume weed and alcohol that young, what you need is therapy, not to get high.


  • Assuming that you are not going to be cheating, you can have a deck of cards where you mark the back with a random number. You let the other player know which cards are marked with each number (ideally in a way that won’t let you memorize them).

    Then you just handle the cards. You shuffle, you pick the cards, and when you pick for the other player, you do not look at the cards, just at the numbers, that you communicate to them.

    This way, they know which cards they have without you knowing them, and you have a simple system.

    Obviously it’s very easy for you to cheat, but if it’s just friendly play there’s no reason for you to do so, and therefore for your friend to believe so.
