This poll is ridiculous. The only correct answer for how many quadrants there CAN be is four, it's in the word, and that isn't even an option here. On the other hand, if you were asking the question I assume you're trying to ask, "How many cultural models for interpersonal relationships (or, more specifically, romantic relationships) are appropriate?", then the answer is going to be different depending on the society. That makes this poll entirely pointless if there is no differentiation between troll, wyvern, or other respondents. Your poll design leaves much to be desired.

Did you not put four on here?

[misfitstogether]

hmmm...... i don't see it on there!

[misfitstogether]

I'm not voting on this until you add four.

[misfitstogether]

do you think there are four types of romance??

[misfitstogether]

I have yet to see any reason to believe in any number of types of romance. It's an outrageous concept that makes no sense. I'm just not voting in a poll about something that is called quadrants if there is no option to say four.

[adumbrateddeluge]

you're also missing "as many as you want there to be", which is the correct answer

[adumbrateddeluge]

quadded relationships go through changes all the time and aren't limited to involving only one set of feelings or another at once

just like how some people have more than one mate in a given quad, some people also go for two or more quads with the same partner. some relationships flip or slide or whatever from one quad to another. some relationships don't even fit any quad properly and are more like combinations of several, or something that isn't any quadrant at all

@artificeutility

assisted living is a social program that supports people who need help managing life. usually that's because of a mental or physical disability that obstructs you in daily tasks to the degree that you can't complete them or you would be forced to constantly expend your internal or external resources in such a way that your quality of life becomes unacceptably low. those aren't the only reasons you might need support, but there are other programs for people with other problems

the most basic sort of support is just getting stuff that you need to function. medication, assistive devices, regular check-ins from a specialist, therapeutic and medical support, that sort of thing. it's individual. then there's the social level of support, both predictive and symptomatic. like you might have the system take care of stuff that it helps not to have to worry about, shit like having groceries or prepared meals delivered to you, or you might have something set up to do your dishes. you might get a support animal for disability aid or anxiety or ptsd.

and then the assisted living provision is for complex cases that require constant care or nuanced support. one type has you working with medical professionals or subords, and the other pairs you up with someone who lives with you, legally advocates for you, and makes sure your needs are met. they have to be trained to get a license to look after someone. if you have a complex case or there isn't someone who has that specialty available, you might meet with a bunch of students and see if you match up well. and then they'll go for that field of study so they can pair up with you once they're clear.

it's one of a lot of things. i know people with depression sometimes join a transport service that brings you on outings, either alone or in groups. people do wellness checks and if stuff is trending towards a place you don't want to be in, you might get sent books that are predicted to help or get offered invitations to a yoga group or something. i think there's like a subord sector that does nothing but engineer apparent coincidences to reassure people who are having a hard time. i've lived my whole life in a wheelchair, man, and i've been in the ALP system pretty much since i finished school. people get taken care of.

it doesn't have to be like it is where you are.

[adamantinerunagate]

what the fuck. i dont know if this proves youre aliens because only aliens could come up with this bullshit, or proves youre faking because no society could actually work like that.

[masterabating]

see you raise a great point in the tags because you're absolutely right and i am so glad i get to bitch about this now because i have more beef with the ALP system than with anyone i've ever met online

i don't want to be stuck in a fucking box. i am sick and fucking tired of not being allowed to make my own decisions because i said i needed help once. i was stuck in an abusive relationship for years because i set up an assisted living provision situation with someone i thought i could trust and then when it went bad i couldn't get out. if i can't own my own fucking house or self-determine my own fucking needs and decisions then i'd rather do it myself.

but. it's still fucking better than nothing. it still has that rock foundation of giving a shit that fucking saves lives. and i can admit this one here even though i'd be dragged to hell and back on the forums where i have to go out and tell (man we need a fucking word for guys online that isn't clowns. bozos maybe? let's go with bozos) utter fucking bozos that no, actually, our social support systems have huge issues and i'm not just going to shut up and be grateful to have some weirdo in a suit get shit off of high shelves for me. i shouldn't have to pick between my autonomy and the shit i need to live a decent fucking life. my whole life shouldn't have gotten fucked up by one decision i made when i was a teen. frankly i think the government here has enough problems and so little intent to change that sometimes it feels impossible to fix in the same way your shit does, and that scares the living shit out of me. but the whole reason that i get to complain that a good thing has flaws is because i've got a good thing. that's gotta fucking count for something if the conversation is going where it is.

you get one pass on calling me a weakling because you're a funny piece of shit and i'm making a point here. disabled people work harder than anyone i've ever met in my fucking life. half the people on the streets protesting and getting shit done are disabled workers. like what, you lose an arm doing your job and suddenly it's "lmao get good, go fuck yourself"? fuck off with that noise. you know how hard it fucking was to teach myself the fucking law and learn to stand up to cops so i could self-advocate? i was depressed as hell for like two years after i got out, man, there's no way i would have gotten my shit together if i had to fucking do everything myself. safety nets are there because sometimes people need them, man. if you can't deal with life yet you should get to fucking learn to.

everyone gets looked after here. how much support i need has no fucking bearing on how much respect i get. if you look at someone on assisted living and you think they're not dealing with their life because they aren't working themself to death trying to pour themself some goddamned cereal, that's your problem. it ain't my fucking fault or anyone's fucking business how many steps i can take in a day, i'm still competent and i still get to make my own fucking calls. they don't hand out fucking brownie points for having a hard time, you know. you think anyone gives a shit if you try to do basic shit and you can't and then you break down crying on the floor and then you can't fucking get off the floor because the universe is a bitch with a mean sense of humor?

if you answered "yeah, actually, that's what social support programs are for", then ding ding ding, we have a winner

so yeah like if you're also disabled and you're dealing with some internalized shit, that's fine, i get it, i've fucking been there. who hasn't said some dumb mean shit online to other people who also have your problems? i'm not here to step on you and your whole shit or any of your opinions. that's your business. but if you say that shit to me again it's not gonna fly
