  • Thank you. That was an absolutely awful way to start my day. Glad to see it's being taken seriously

  • It definitely seems to be when I post, but I've never posted on furry content that I'm aware of lol

  • Ye, the medical thing concerns me. NZ has a national health record system that let's you register a primary emergency contact. From everything I've read, that, coupled with the fact that we're in a defacto relationship should be enough to prevent that being an issue. I hope that stays untested

  • I'm in NZ. Theoretically we're listed as each other's primary emergency contacts, so that shouldn't be an issue. I just hope we never have to find out.

    As for children, property etc. NZ has this idea of a defacto relationship, which you can enter into either by living together for 2 years, or by having a child together. It offers the same protections that marriage does. I think it gets a bit greyer if you just have a child together, but living together for 2 years is as good as a marriage in this regard.

    Where it matters the most is if one of us passes away, but that can be negated through a will.

    It could matter if we ever decided to move out of the country, but I don't see us doing that in a hurry. We'll cross that bridge if we ever get to it

  • Estate can be managed by having a good will drawn up, and in NZ there is no distinction between a married couple and a defacto relationship (living together for >2 years) when it comes to separations and property.

  • Marriage is a big ceremony where you declare that this person is now your family in front of the people most important to you. From that angle I'm on board.

    Where I'm out is that you have to register that with the govt. I HATE that. I'm in a het relationship, and gay marriage is legal here, so I have no idea why that irks me so much, but it's like, who the fuck are they to tell me my marriage isn't real because it's not registered with them?

    Here there aren't even any good tax benefits, so I really don't see the point.

    We'll probably have a ceremony, but it won't be a legal marriage.

  • "but you can call me the fediverse chick guy/person"

  • "Hi,

    Was this meant to be sent to me?

    I don't believe "is willing to kowtow to a fascist" appears on my profile, but if it does, it's in error.

    Kindly point out whatever it was that made you think I'd accept a position in any one of Elon's companies, so that I can rectify it.

    Just to be extra clear: I would sell my body before going near your company

    Thanks"

  • I've been there. Not really with the water thing, but I thought I was being watched, and that my GF was working for the CIA, my workplace was a front, and everyone working there was faking it, for the purposes of monitoring me, etc. That shit is scary! I was aware on some level that I wasn't being rational, but man, your own brain can be sooo convincing. I had that stupid fucking Nirvana line running through my head the whole time "just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you." It's never really gone away, but I've found ways of managing it for myself, but live in constant fear if it getting bad again. So when I say this, you can trust it: I really do understand, and I sincerely hope you figure it out. All the best mate

  • Interstellar. I think Lemmy support is coming but right now it's just mbin

    edit: Nope, I'm behind apparently. Lemmy is supported as well now

  • Just posting here as well to make sure it's documented.

    I just got Nicole Classic™ without crypto links. I'm beginning to suspect there are Niclones out there as well
