nothing is completely safe… walking down the street isn’t completely safe….
acknowledging risks isn’t the same as saying don’t take any risks….
chump.

STI… but the problems with people cheating are present in polycules or any other relationship…
people lie and cheat….

i’m not saying they’re completely bad and nobody should ever do it (sorry downvoters, you have my blessings), it’s just the kind of thing that concerns me in these scenarios….

afaik, people tend to do things like get herpes, not tell anyone, and tell people it’s not even worth tripping over… just a lil herpes…

and as long as your polycule isn’t a closed loop, it’s essentially infinitely large….

that is grossly oversimplifying things

yes because you can absolutely trust and guarantee safety amongst everyone in your polycule, and because you can totally be safe from STI’s that are transmitted by skin contact….

you can be safer, but not safe

people really hate typos

“hey, pull my finger”

if only STI’s weren’t a thing, polycules would be great….
but, i’d rather be single than have to deal with pustules on my genitals for life….
….
i bet they’d all be cured by now if idiots didn’t see it as some divine retribution….

because words mean things. For example, you’re not an engineer nor are you engineering if you cut a straw shorter to fit your cup better.

Yuri Gagarin was a highly accomplished person, in the field, and the first person in space

Katy Perry didn’t even go to space, they didn’t leave the atmosphere… they didn’t orbit, they only experienced weightlessness from falling….

and more importantly, while our government is erasing records of actual women astronauts who spent days and months in orbit…
extremely talented and educated women who risked their lives… purging those records and calling it DEI, it’s extremely insulting to pretend like Katy Perry should be an inspiration for women as a woman astronaut….

she’s a talented musician… i mean, i don’t like her music… but she should be inspiring with that. She’s not an astronaut because she took the hundredth ride on an autopilot near-space tourist ship for 11 minutes….

btw, this is the information age… nerds rule the world… everything you’ve ever touched has been made by nerds and you’ll just be dependent on nerds’ creations for the rest of your life.

nerd is no longer an insult. it’s a badge of honor.

she declared herself an astronaut… much in the same way you become a pilot after riding on a commercial jet….
there were few dumb things, but this is definitely referring to that.
