Good rant, bad friend. Not actually a friend, that sounds like a narcissitst that wants you around only when they need attention.

Ah, LOL

The Pluto one I finally understand, a science show pointed it that more recently there were 100s of other Pluto sized objects orbiting our sun, so they either had to add 100s more to match Pluto status, or demote Pluto to planetoid to avoid all the others getting status.

Yeah those types of people are at their worst when they feel rejected. Hopefully you have found a good Lemmy Anime group instead. So far Lemmy is a lot more chill than reddit.

There are always weird people online, unfortunately you found some. Them accusing you of what they did is juvenile behaviors.

Joy in seeing the other person. Warm comfort. Early in the relationship it is at the highest, partners sacrifice their own “usual” to align with their partners needs. However by the two year mark people have let their facade drop and they reveal more of their true self and what they need daily. This often feels like the love has faded, since your partner is expressing their needs and not just fulfilling your own. This either kills the relationship as people think they fell out of love and are now annoyed by their partner, or the partners take more of the “love is a choice” route and continue on, with communication and acceptance of partners quirks. Having open communication without blame helps this process. Then you both start building on a solid foundation of time, past support, trust and mutual caring. Here love is often not described as the heightened falling in love feeling, but something more calm and enduring.

My thought is well adjusted, happy people, dont have time for trolling nonsense. While those types you mention have all day (no life) to dish out negativity on a site they think makes them look smart.

I found using pavucontrol fixed some of those dummy output issues.

There was a graph posted past month. Compared a lot of things including trans, and basically was how many trans people % in population vs how much people think there is an issue. I’m paraphrasing and guessing at the numbers since I don’t gave it handy. But say trans is 0.1% conservatives beleive it is affecting 30% of people, so it is a huge problem needing to be squashed.

As for the mental illness part, that should only be between their doctors and them, and nobody else gets an opinion and what happens. The medical community has a role to play in not harming a person who might be suffering mental condition clouding sane judgement.

For example there is that brain disorder where a person controls their limb normally (not alien hand syndrome) but they believe the limb is not their own, because the brain isn’t registering it as belonging to its own body. This can be from a damaged brain, parapysis issue or a delusion. In each case it causes patient distress. Can the root of the feeling be fixed? If not and patient asks for an amputation, do you perform that? Tough questions only the doctors and patient can work out, the rest of conservative society needs to keep their nose out of it.
