Kinda sounds like you might feel at home in the polyamory community.

Lots of people who aren’t “in it” don’t have that sort of energy

I have a hard time imagining telling my wife that “I’m not comfortable” with her doing something she wants to do unless it is something outright dangerous.

Its just a matter of boundaries and agreements really. Most mono couples have an implied set of rules rather than customising their relationship experience by doing the work to define boundaries together. Very much a societal thing i think.

Whether or not you were planning on swinging, that option is now in Wills head and he’s afraid Janet might participate.

In the end it’s just jealousy, but most people struggle with that emotion some times, no matter their relationship type.

Usually angry music like melodic black metal or heavy stoner/doom. somehow gives me the right energy to get out of the slump.

I condensed the posts a bit since it was a bit too vague.

That reads more like connecting my own devices in a private VPN right?
I was hoping for an alternative to Nord and the likes.

Checking it out, thanks

I think the OP is looking for a decentralized alternative to something like Nord/Express/Mullvad to hide their traffic, and not a way to connect their devices together.

exactly! Sorry if i didn’t write that clearly in the post.

Yeah I was thinking of TOR when I read about the concept, but I did read a lot in the past how a lot of the nodes aren’t really secure anymore.
I’ll check out the other suggestions. The sidebar doesn’t mention piracy, so I’ll just come out the gate and say that that’s my usecase via torrents.
Which can get pretty expensive where I live due to absurd legal definitions. My thought process was if a P2P VPN gets me through another country where it’s not persecuted as much I’d be safer than going with the proprietary big names.

That’s a great one!

Rammstein is not a town though, Ramstein(-Miesenbach) is.

I think a good chunk of US american military folks are familiar with Ramstein air base, less so Ramstein-Miesenbach. Internationally I’d imagine even less of either.

Even plenty Rammstein (band) fans aren’t familiar with the origin of the name, nor the town near the airbase :)

I’d comfortably take a bet that Wacken rings more bells around the globe.

Wacken, Germany.

Population: 2110

Home to one of the biggest metal festivals in the world with something between 70k and 120k people. I think Tickets are limited to 70k currently but the whole area is bascially transformed for a week

Thats a specific situation you’re imagining and isnt necessarily what happened

Fair enough, im still curious

What was wrong with fellowship for you? I know its a slow book but haven’t heard someone actively hate it

Technically so did you when calling a cab. Name, number and location

Check yo privilege

Thats the thing right. You dont care whos shitting in the stall next to you. You’re busy shitting.

This is (should be) true for any public bathrooms, no matter the sign on the door.

bath towels every couple of showers. I use a separate towel for my head/hair though.
bed sheets, varies, depends on temperature and sweatiness.

Matter of definition for me. Had some sort of fracture in my jaw but it wasn’t broken through. Also “fun” anecdote, they told me it wasn’t cracked at the hospital and a week later my dad (who i hadn’t put down as a contact, they just used an old address instead of the one i provided) tells me i got a letter from the hospital.

Turns out i shouldn’t have eaten solid food and gone to a surgeon ASAP. Now my jaw is permanently slightly uncomfortable and pops sometimes.

Sad but not unlikely. Lots of people never lived near nature or had a garden. Let alone a large tree.

Theres also some nuance between non-profit and for-profit. Non profit still can / must make some income to pay for expenses, wages. And for profit might still not be cyberpunk style capitalists exploiting under the veil of medical care.
