Oversimplifying methinks. Great for jokes, maybe not so much for education.

\ To be clear, I laughed at your comment, then felt inspired to expand upon and offer more synthesis of ideas in RA. No need to condescend my offer of additional detail.

One... More... Square...

Well I hope that you amend your views before bringing a tiny new human into existence. I'm not saying that laws should be outright disregarded. I had limited time to make my response, so I didn't go into much detail about RA's approaches to co-parenting. I don't intend to do so now.
\ Choosing to get law enforcement involved doesn't break these rules. If a relationship is inequitable and people are in danger, and getting the police involved seems like the only option from one or more perspectives in the relationship, then that's what should happen.
\ Another major factor within RA is the choice/ability to continue or discontinue relationships. And this element (like any other element of skillful RA) requires an ongoing commitment to communication. Checking in about the state of relationships. Choosing to deescalate a relationship for any number of reasons is a fully valid choice, whether due to time constraints, lack of commitment, over commitment, feeling unsafe, feeling codependent, literally anything; though, with the hope that people either won't oversell an issue or understate it. Literally you're "not feeling it" can be a valid reason to step back, but also that might be easier to work through than, say, "the way you handle conflict reminds me of ways my parent(s) used to invalidate my experiences of emotional distress before I was able to fully articulate my difficulty, and I can't continue to relate with you so closely until we have boundaries and agreements in place regarding how you handle conflict."
\ I'm guessing you don't live in the US based on your last statement, and I would hazard a guess that things are indeed pretty different elsewhere, at least in regard to socio-political climate. That doesn't necessarily invalidate RA as a system, but it likely (and probably greatly) changes the way one or more people may be supported or seen by the society they move through. The US is very patriarchal, but generally women are in less danger here than, for example, Yemen or Saudi Arabia.

\ Sometimes on the same post.

Even if the politicos unironically started referring to themselves as oligarchs, a significant population of US citizens would likely either take it as a joke and hand-wave it away, or take it as further proof that that's just what you do to get ahead.

I played too much Hades and am obsessed with the moon and am tomboyish and socially awkward

Reading this on the toilet, literally it's toilet paper

Or, to bring Relational Anarchism to bear, a relationship is an ongoing interaction between people, sometimes even just with one's own self. Then, having established that a relationship exists, the participants of this relationship may choose to define said relationship using whatever terms and conditions they feel are fitting. And here's the clincher: nobody outside of the relationship gets to have any say in what ANY aspect of that relationship means. Friendship? That's literally got "ship" in it, but parenthood? Also a relationship. Professional, personal, inter-personal, monogamous, non-monogamous, poly, aromantic, FWB... All valid terms to use, and not a single one of them can possibly define a relationship by itself.

But is it heavier or lighter than 9.1 kilograms of feathers?

Had to read the wiki to get this. A couple times, actually.

Altogether the three equals less than one whole good film. They get close with the first two but the third is inexcusable. I counted: there are less than 5 shots that last for more than 15 seconds before a hard cut, even if it's still in the same scene (I counted but also barely cared; I was just trying stay awake)

Well it's not in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, but that's just one source. I assumed they meant "excluded" because I've never seen "discluded" used... Ever?

Jays in my area well fly around making eagle calls convincing enough to fool plenty humans (myself included). Multiple times I've heard that unique shriek and searched the sky for a big bird only to see a cheeky Blue Jay hopping around in a tree 🤣

Congratulations! You have won The Internet today.

Been hanging out with a girl, I guess you could say I've got a fun gal infection

Feel free to keep your soggy opinion to yourself

We have Vision Zero in the US, too. They lowered speed limits in a couple neighborhoods from 25mph to 20, and all the LED road signs show annual aggregated deaths from car crashes until the number is greater than zero, then someone wrings their hands and says "Welp, we did what we could, guess people just like dying" and then goes on vacation. (Source: me, I made up the spokesperson who gets scapegoated, but all the other stuff is observationally evident where I live)

This is the first one I saw

So far away we wait for the day
\ For the lives all so wasted and gone
\ We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
\ Through the fire and the flames we carry on!
