i've been an android user for years now and have been using beeper for at least a couple of months. people have been asking for imessage on android for years now and i really don't know what the issue is. i can understand apple being wary of beeper accessing the imessage server but if they would do it themselves then there wouldn't be this issue

we really need a 'thanks i hate it' community round here.

i cannot stand the amount that they talk. constant mouth sounds, just to fill the silence. communication is very important but many of them seek to communicate nothing at all.

i'd prefer this to particle board drawers that disintegrate if you look at them funny.

it's not for everyone and certainly shouldn't be seen as the default or indoctrinated into people from a young age like it is right now. that being said, i'm very happily monogamous and couldn't imagine it any other way.

For me, university literally made me depressed. But I also met my partner online during that time. I enjoyed studying but this myth that college is the time when you'll meet loads of friends, have tons of sex and wild parties, etc. Is very, very harmful

i know absolutely that i personally couldn't do a poly relationship. i'd be confused, upset, and unable to adapt to that kind of situation. that being said, i wish my poly friends no ill will and hope to see a world in with they'd be able to get married if they so choose. same goes for people who have no desire to be in a romantic relationship.

what a disgusting thing to do to your partner!

there's some good discussion going on at !mentalhealth@lemmy.world imo

i feel like i'm in the minority here but i much prefer office chairs that don't have a reclining back. i need something i can press my whole back into for proper support and a reclining back is often a point of failure.

bless all the people who've seen those things and provide accurate descriptions so the rest of us don't have to bear that burden

i've said this before but because there's a small community vibe across lemmy and kbin it's much easier to be heard and seen. a lot of people are interested in building communities here which drives engagement way up.
