| I am, quite frankly, very surprised that at WP, with all the focus and brain power we have here, people think that "Anthropogenic Climate Change" is actually a catastrophic crisis. I highly suggest that those of you whom are scientifically minded start looking at the IPCC's actual reports ... |

| but it didn't work out because my needs weren't being fulfilled. I always find the the rhetoric of polyamory so offputting -- all this stuff about "needs being fulfilled", as if people are sort of passive, infantile, requiring others to come fulfill their needs.

| Can I ask.. why on earth are so many people here being so judgmental about what is, essentially, a personal choice? I have a number of GOOD friends with whom I sometimes have benefits. And I can tell you, there is most certainly an emotional connection. There is not a committed, structural relations... |
