Thanks! As small as the chance is, that his mom would find this place, and that post, I still wanted it gone. He's dead, she didn't need to find me talking junk about him, if she hasn't seen it already. It was kinda weird last time I saw her.
No worries dude. I get it. Binary was saying “fuck it, leave it up” and shit, but I believe in empathy around here.
Whenever I hear anyone say "my partner," I instantly think gay/ lesbian relationship. Just saying. I always wondered what happened to that guy. While he was definitely a grade-A weirdo, I thought he was alright. I bet y'all anything that he's a furry. Or a zoophile. Or both. @Binary, did you see any evidence of such behaviors on his Facebook page? What was he like outside of this place?
You're a dick, @Binary ! It was shitty for me to post it in the first place. It was an image I grabbed off of Facebook, about cuz's funeral. It wasn't my image to share, I should have left it alone. Now that all the regular idiots are thoroughly confused, since they can't see it anymore... what y'all want to talk about.
If anyone has trouble digging through their post attachment history but knows there's something there, I can look at it in bulk in the admin center - let me know and I'll help. I don't even understand what this means, really. Wife/husband has a specific meaning and we're not married. I think "girlfriend" undersells the fact that we're committed to each other and have spent two decades together. So partner it is. In any event, the only person whose opinion matters on how depersonalizing it may or may not be is my, uh, partner, and we are on the same page about it. @dixiebandit69 this was several years ago at this point, but from what I remember it was just a run-of-the-mill weirdo's Facebook page with memes and pictures of wolves and shit - same kind of stuff he posted around here. I do distinctly remember it was almost a ghost town, though, with nobody else commenting or interacting.
I've heard a number of times that some people always equate "partner" with same-sex relationships. I get that. But since it doesn't really matter for 99.9% of context, I just don't worry about it. If someone hears me say partner and assumes I'm talking about a dude, that's fine - you can picture @Nettdata and I snuggling in a circle of geese. We've probably both done worse.
Man, I really regret that period where I drifted away from here for a while. Seems like I missed out on a lot of interesting things. Thankfully I’m back for Nett and Binary partaking in a Canada goose circle jerk with corkscrew penises while ‘Nerds goes carp fishing. Or something like that.
Yes, but @Nettdata says his ass looks fat in them. I said that's what I love about him, but he just isn't having it.
Maybe it's just where I live, or who my circle and what's normal around here, but I hear people use "my partner" all the time to describe the exact type of relationship you have. Whatever works for you man, you aren't harming anyone and it's a phrase that makes you both happy so fuck what everyone else thinks.
...and I'm over here calling my husband "boyfriend" despite being together for 14 years, married for 5, having a kid and 2 mortgages. But, yeah, around here "partner" just means any significant significant other, regardless of orientation/identity. Some of my married friends prefer it to husband/wife/spouse, and it's useful amongst the non-binary set (as well as binary, apparently).
we just hit 14 years of marriage. Apparently at some point you graduate to more mature terms like “fuckface” and “bitch it’s”
Whenever somebody says “partner” I think of Michael Douglas in “War of the Roses.” He was trying to make partner. He HAD to make partner.
