Sure, being too picky can lead to loneliness. But that’s kind of off topic from “you’ll have more rolls of the dice in a place with more people”, which was my earlier argument.
I wouldn’t want to settle for someone with no shared interests and a not-my-type body just because they’re here. Everyone involved deserves better.
“you’ll settle for whoever’s around” is a compelling argument - if whoever is around happens to be good enough
Bit of a tautology there. My point is if there’s only 1 person of your age/gender(s) then it’s longer odds they’re going to be a good match. Sure, they might be “good enough” but wouldn’t you rather have “great”?
Hm maybe I’ll try that. Looks like there’s an android version
I think a lot about how one time we spent s few hours estimating how long a project would take. Management came back and said no, that’s too long, we’d need to finish in a month.
Well if that’s how long it has to take why not lead with that?
Bunch of idiot empty husks doing cargo-cult “agile”
I’m don’t think “you’ll settle for whoever’s around” is a compelling argument.
Furthermore, there are few places where it’s actually like a rom-com and the waitress sets you up. There can’t be a lot of people in that situation because then there wouldn’t be so few people that they can be matched up. Most people live in cities or suburban wastelands.
Well, they can be unhappy about it but that doesn’t change how you’ll have more chances of meeting a partner where there’s more people doing more stuff.
Dating apps. They suck, but there’s a lot you can do (without paying money) to improve your odds.
Go to meetups. They exist for hobbies (board games, running, bird watching) and regions (North Brooklyn hangout). Don’t go cruising but go for the thing and meet people.
Join a rec sport league. There’s a bunch of soccer ones here.
If you live somewhere shitty, you’re going to have a worse time. I live in a big city so there’s a lot of people doing stuff. If I lived out in the sticks, there might be a dozen people of my desired age and gender(s) total.
Firefox. It’s fine. The ai stuff is concerning , but nothing’s caused me enough pain to switch yet
Seems fair. Was a pretty big fuck up. Might deter others from making similar fuck ups.
That was always a bad idea and feeds my mild Cassandra complex.
No government should be relying on private platforms like that.
The suits at Microsoft are out of their fucking minds.
Yes. They are stupid and don’t deserve their huge paychecks.
They could’ve done basically nothing. Maybe security updates. And they would’ve had a decent brand that kept bringing in money. Their leadership is worse than doing nothing. A dog would make a better ceo.
I would be more than willing to carry around my own spoon, fork, and more, if it meant less plastic crap everywhere
I like the idea. I don’t want to use facebook or similar, but that’s where stuff like “BuyNothing” is most active.
Unfortunately, I don’t know much about self hosting (beyond what I’ve picked up working in software development) so I don’t see myself running one of these myself. I’d probably use it if it came to my neck of the woods (NYC)
Sort of a naive take but it seems like you could mandate objective measurements on clothing like we have ingredient lists on food.
Conservatives are stupid, basically. Given a set of facts they will draw back conclusions
You can also buy drm free music from sites like Bandcamp. I don’t feel bad buying from smaller groups. Joyride! might actually notice the $10 from me buying their new album.
This experience helps users quickly understand content
They really think we’re stupid. Unfortunately, they may be mostly right.
Platforms could moderate their content. They choose not to.
I mean it’s horrible but the only way people change their mind is from social pressure.
I had a coworker that was very right wing and months of talking I got him to accept queer people can be filed under “live and let live”. That was a big improvement from where he started.
I don’t know why someone down voted this.
I’ve had several friends block off time on their calendar for i-dont-know-what. It was marked as busy and it could’ve been anything from napping to elden ring. It’s their time.
Though I think a lot of people don’t use a calendar for their personal life and I can’t relate to that level of chaos. I can’t remember my plans and everyone’s birthdays in my head.
