  • TeamSpeak can only replace the voice chatting aspect. The vast majority of people use discord for text chat.

    It’s really such a different beast. You can chat in a discord server while you’re on your phone when you’re unavailable to chat on voice. I know teamspeak has an app, but it was clunky last time I bothered with it, and it’s still not that type of experience. People love discord chat, they love the emotes, they love their profiles. I just can’t see a lot of people giving that up.

    And like I’ve said earlier, I’m not even sure if most people are aware of the changes or if they even care. The people from Aus or the UK that I’ve seen on discord lately seem like they’re just dealing with the id requirements.










  • I haven’t seen it that bad on this platform, but on reddit it’s so awful that I have to always check downvoted comments for the 50/50 chance that the comment is entirely reasonable and provides genuinely beneficial information, rather than being completely insane.

    It’s also just really sad that people would often ask questions and then downvote an answer not for being wrong, but because it was something they didn’t want to hear. Then immediately after respond with, “You have so many downvotes, you must be wrong.” One of the old legal subreddits from around five years ago was infamous for this. Why yes, go ahead and trust the unverified user who didn’t link to any code. I’m sure they are absolutely correct.


  • What discussions happen on discord?

    You ever have an issue with anything and you find the answer on some random reddit discussion that ends up in your search results when you’re looking around?

    Discord isn’t really like the older methods of chatting, where people used platforms to chat for the sake of chatting. Entire communities from forums decided to just upend everything and move into discord. Niche software and other files are often shared among discord communities, or assistance for said files and programs is offered only through specific discord communities.

    The platform is still better than anything we had back in the day, it’s just that for some reason people have decided that everything needs to be stored in there.

    Anyway, I don’t see much changing. People will probably attempt to take this culture onto whatever new platform they move onto.




  • Yeah, historically it’s a bit more complicated. Widerstand gegen den Nationalsozialismus which was an unorganized and very splintered resistance movement existed. There’s a lot of reasons for why they couldn’t quite make the impact they wanted, besides being splintered, but that’s probably the largest one.

    Besides that though, the Germans did attempt to cleanse their image after the world war with the Wehrmacht myth. The myth essentially states that the regular army had no knowledge of the acts committed by the SS, that the average German solider was bravely fighting for their country under false pretenses. Obviously it’s not true, but it seems to have been rather effective unfortunately.



  • Oh there were signs in the last few months for certain. Like I mentioned before, she’s been out of work, and depressed, so that masked a lot of the hints. I have noticed that she seemed as if she was genuinely trying to prepare me for this in some ways though.

    Bedroom wise we both initiated quite often. She tells me she doesn’t regret any of it, and she says she’s confused as to why she enjoyed it sometimes more than others to the point where she eventually couldn’t feel like doing anything. A lot was reciprocated, we’ve always had a policy about fairness.



  • She probably would if I asked.

    It’s her bed though, and we agreed a long time ago that neither of us would in any circumstance take the floor or any other space that’s less comfortable than the bed.

    We will look into separate sleeping spaces in the future. It’s not the closeness that bothers me as much as it is how she mumbles in her sleep. Nothing that she has ever said in her sleep hinted at this, and judging by last night it’s probably not going to change. I don’t think I’ll be alright hearing it every night.


  • I can’t say it would have changed much if I had known that she was questioning beforehand. She has expressed guilt over feeling like she experimented with me, but she has also stated that she said she wouldn’t feel certain unless she gave us a chance.

    I would have given her the chance if she had asked mostly due to how close we are.

    As for family, they’re maga, I have no ties with them. I have a couple of close friends. She seemed to have been preparing me for this as recently she was attempting to push me to socialize more outside of her own friends and family more.


  • If my family were involved they wouldn’t be supportive, but I would not allow them to harm her in any regard.

    I consider myself demi at the moment, but with just how much it takes for me to bond with anyone I do sometimes it feels that I may as well be aroace. It’s hard to describe the amount of important aspects that we share together that made us functional together even if it only took one fault to make it impossible.

    We’re still going to live together for the time being. I might be more bothered by sharing the same bed than she is. We do want to separate at some point so she can pursue love on her own, although she doesn’t feel a lot of confidence about that.

    She wants me to try dating though, but I also just don’t feel any confidence about finding anyone.


  • You flatter me. I don’t really know how to take it like that. This is just two people being themselves. We haven’t done anything wrong besides being incompatible in certain ways.

    And I appreciate the kind wishes, I’m not sure if I’ll try later. She is one of the only people in the world I can say I have ever felt comfortable being vulnerable around and I’m not sure that I could build up that trust with anyone in the future.
