If you want to take that position seriously, it’s outlined well in rancieres “the distribution of the sensible”.

Politics can only happens around what we are able to experience, and what we can experience is predicated upon what and how we are able to sense, which makes all art inherently political, as a piece of art always imparts and improve upon the senses of the subject interarcting with it. You have an experience, you grow. Your distribution of what is sensible has shifted.

To take it down a notch and relate it back to the current image, what do you think a Nazi would say, if you showed them this image and presented it as art? Good chance they’d see it as an prime candidate for the untartete kunst exhibition. It’s not realistic, uses pop-culture symbolism and even, dare i say it, contains such unholy additions as vulgar everyday language, not poetry 😱

P clear then, that even the seemingly most innocent of images contain an infinite amount of assumptions around much broarder topics, fx, what is beautiful, what is allowed to be expressed, and those are very much political conversations

Thx for coming to my Ted talk

Alright, fair you feel that way, makes sense. Seems to be an unpopular opinion i have on that, judging from the vote count. Good thing we all get to decide for ourselves, which rules to implement in our games haha

Whatever man, the wooden spoons taste better i guess, that’s the reason now

You:

“all relationships are unique, and there are no (there are, but there shouldn’t be) guidelines on what makes a relationship real or not […] build your own relationship however you want/need/able”

Also you

“I still think monogomy is unethical and it’s cruel to expect that of a partner” (paraphrased)

Lol, lmao even

Not very relationship-anarchic of you to hierarchisize relationships, with some being inherently more ethical than others

I disagree. I want my partner to respect my feelings, and to care about not hurting my feelings. I want that because i do the same, respect their feelings and care about not hurting theirs

To me, it is cruel to not care about the feelings of other people. I guess we differ on that

I’m getting lost in the food analogy sorry, would you be willing to try and explain in a different manner?

I don’t get what you’re trying to say

Sidenote, don’t know if you mean anything by the insistent use of ‘she’ so just to clarify, I’m bi, my hypothetical partner could just as easily be a dude or non binary or anything else really

Lol

Thx for explaining btw

Halp I don’t get the joke

Makes sense! All this is secondhand knowledge from a bunch of friends who are cooks for a living, so not based on any personal experiences, maybe probably should’ve clarified that earlier lol

I don’t agree with your twist of my analogy. I expect you to be honest about a meal you serve to me if you know i care about its contents, just as i expect that you are honest about any other thing you know i find important. IMO thats the core of respect, and respect in a relationship is a huge thing for me.

So it might seem inherently irrational to you, i just dont get why that matters at all. Again, in my view, how the person i care about, feel about a particular thing that’s important to them, supersedes how i personally feel about it, because i care about - and respect - the PERSON, not the thing in question.

No worries comrade, we all crash sometimes (i do at least). Take care ❤️

That i don’t get at all. I really don’t think it’s too much to expect honesty from your significant other. In my world, that’s about the one person where you owe absolute honesty, all other relations yeah lying ain’t THAT big a deal.

Lying to yourself (breaking a diet) i agree is a victimless crime, but lying to others isn’t, as that is at the expense of the person being deceived. Lying to a random ass person is of course much less a deal than lying to your significant other, and in both situations it’s of course also dependant on the thing being lied about. A vegetarian would be very mad about being told a lie that the meal they were being served is vegetarian if it actually contained meat, and rightfully so imo.

In i think that might be getting to the core of it. It might not be a big deal to you, and that’s of course totally okay and your right and just as natural as any other proposition, BUT, failing to recognize that this might be important to the person, and then proceed to lie about that thing just because you yourself don’t think it’s that big a deal, is not okay in my book.

For me, it’s about respecting the internal worldview of the other person, and recognizing that it is just as important as my own. If something is a deal breaker for my partner, i don’t give a rats ass how important I think it is, what’s important is respecting that my partner cares a great deal about it. And if my partner cannot show the same towards me, that’s not a relationship i want to be in. And we do all have the right to say no to a relationship we don’t want, right?

Sounds awful, sorry you had to go through that

Theres probably a bunch more reasons than just transportion culture wars that the us is turning fascist, i would imagine, but yeah that was what i was getting at. Very aware that many places in America only are build for cars.

Which is a damn shame. You shouldnt have yo be forced like that. But u know, money and power, big Industry lobbyism and decades of fearmongering about market regulations and public services, thatl get you a situation like that.

Wasnt trying to be snarky or anything fyi, clarifying because im quite over thinking too much about tone, downside being people sormtime misunderstand my vibes. ✌️

You take the bike down to the train station and bring it with you on the train. Caveat: Your country needs to have train lines that are actually usable.

P sure (but not entirely) that thats for when you purposely want to remove the lining, fx for resale, to make it look brand new

Havent personally heard chainmail reccomended tho, mostly heard of steel sponges, chainmail sounds way cooler tho lol

Metal tools also scrape the bottom lining that forms over time off, which is a big no no when cooking with cast iron.

Makes sense, just your wording that confused me

Wooden spoons are better for cooking with cast iron pots and pans, which a blacksmith, being knowledgeable about metal, would be vey aware of.

Just as the it person is way more aware of the pitfalls of smart tech than your average person
