The problem with dating apps is about the app themselves mostly. They promote shitty behaviours.
When you're ghosted, it çan be from 3 reasons: you're actually ghosted ; the person is no more on the app ; the person didn't really looked at your profile, or it has too many matches.
It is very hard on self esteem and on your appreciation of the other sex.
The very first sentence is borderline propaganda. It implies that lemmy is full of hard leftist when, in truth, there are as many liberals here. Why start with this sentence?
Then it follows with something like "I'm not a libertarian" or something along this line, "but", which means it'll actually be a long rent or propaganda to promote liberal views or critique the leftist views. And I wasn't wrong, as the last paragraph showed.
I didn't comment to talk about the political matter, but about the shape of the discourse. You are a hard liberal, but you pretend not to be. That's either dishonest or delusional. Or at least that's what your writing conveys.
OK, I just checked delusional definition, and maybe it's not what I thought. I mean something like "convinced by an idea that is completely wrong". If you have a better or less insulting word, I'll gladly learn it.
Epic is the worst of the 3 platforms for a user. It is a drm like steam, but with less games on it, and even less optimized (so even more wasted resources and time loading useless advertising).
Steam has it that is makes game run on Linux smoothly, and the biggest library of games. Gog is drm free. Epic has absolutely nothing a user may want, except for free games so that you are now captive of their shitty platform.
Isn't that a hardware problem though? At some point you want your software to work, and years of reverse engineering for it to do so is a long time for it isn't it?
The terminal is like a direct access to do things on the computer. A GUI is a program someone made to do a task the way he envisioned it to be done. If this task is not exactly what you need, you're out of luck.
I think alcohol can't be kept pure in normal conditions, it would turn into a gas. So it is diluted by necessity. Knowing the full volume of the thing is certainly better than knowing only the quantity of alcohol without knowing the degree of dilution.
It is not the only product to be indicated this way. All diluted chemicals are. I think syrup is also?
I'm pretty sur meta doesn't care to federate. I bet they will even defederate rather aggressively to enforce their moderation.
IMO federating is a good move to steal users from it. There is no user to steal for meta, people here are here because they fled the other platforms. Meta users though are unaware of this other world, and they can easily be brought in if they can discover it.
The hunter-gatherer gender division is actually proven wrong now.
Also, hunting mammoths was a very rare activity. I would expect it to be some kind of desperate activity in fact. People weren't more crazy than we are, they would rather live than to be trampled by a mammoth.
You can't have a country without a military to defend it.
