I cheated on a partner (with an ex, just to make things that much worse).

I'd say it was caused half by lust, half by my insecurities at the time. I wouldn't do it again, as it was detrimental to my partner, my ex, and myself. I also like to think I'm slightly less insecure now. I haven't been in a relationship since that one though, as I still feel I probably have a bit of maturing / sorting myself out to accomplish before being to handle a healthy romantic relationship.

If the system isn't working for the majority, maybe it's the system that's flawed rather than individuals?

I second the recommendation for Not Just Bikes on YouTube, probably one of the online content creators who've had the biggest effect on me. Another good one is Oh The Urbanity!

I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, but I've heard many recommend Confessions of a Recovering Traffic Engineer written by the founder of Strong Towns. Honestly, a lot of sources I've seen reference this book or are inspired by Strong Towns.

The dialer doesn't seem to be included in their apps repository, sadly.

This may or may not be helpful, as I couldn't find any sources to download an APK, but GrapheneOS' default phone app does call recording.

Thanks for the starting point! 😊

Did you bother opening the link? This project is clearly much more elaborate than simply synchronising notes.

Oh I didn't mean to criticize your use of the word, I was more commenting on how the word has evolved :P

I wasn't sure if I agreed with your assessment of the different receptions for Fight Club and American Horror X (seeing as I haven't really encountered enough Nazis talking about the film to form an opinion) but "AHX was only seen as an endorsement by people who didn’t need converting" makes quite a lot of sense.

You mentioned documentaries, are there any in particular you'd recommend? I'd be curious to see any parallels or differences there are between neo-Nazi punk culture and the current era "alt-right" or whatever they call themselves lately.

I know it's a valid use of the word by its definition, but "marginalized" is so associated with oppressed minority groups in my head that I definitely did a double take at seeing Nazis described as such.

Why should anyone trust you to run a VPN for them? How would we know you're not a malicious actor?

Was it this image?

I wish there was a breakdown by province for the Atlantic provinces, I highly doubt NB (where I'm from) would skew that highly Democrat if grouped by itself. Damned small sample sizes! :P Interesting graph, in any case!

I hadn't heard about this so I did a quick web search to read up on the topic.

Holy fuck, they named their war AI "The Gospel"??!! That's supervillain-in-a-crappy-movie shit. How anyone can see Israel in a positive light throughout this conflict stuns me.

"Faggot" isn't a slur? Someone should tell all the homophobes who've yelled it at me over the years, they'd be devastated.

My goal was not to bring anyone down or to make myself feel superior, but to cause reflection on how the things they say can affect people. How would you suggest I should approach this in the future?

Oh true, I love the information superhighway! The interactions are so unhealthy, sometimes I can't even distinguish it from the real world anymore! :P

My reaction is "how fucking awful" and this would be my reaction regardless of how the baby came to be in the oven. What other reaction do you expect people to have? Why are you seemingly equating waiting to be properly informed with not caring about the subject?

We're on a comment thread on Lemmy, we're not involved in investigating this case. I don't see why we'd be "poking" around.

Wait are we not in the real world? Where are we??!

What quick conclusion should people arrive at in your opinion

I'd wait for relevant information before arriving at a conclusion, but that's just me.

I admit the day-old account and posting a link to their own question raises some red flags, however the site they linked (freesports.to) is featured on the FMHY megathread, under live TV/sports. It's even starred.

I'm not particularly annoyed by the original post, I was just trying to be helpful and answer the question the other commenter had. Even then, this community is named "mildly infuriating" , you'd think being annoyed would be kinda the baseline.

I will admit I'm a bit annoyed by your tone and approach to conversation, which is probably why my last comment was a bit snarky. I do apologize for that. However, I honestly don't have the energy to deal with people initiating a discussion with immediate aggression, especially when they decide to read things into my comments that aren't there. You should try engaging in good-faith conversation sometime, it's a lot less exhausting than jumping at people's throats.

I wrote basically the same thing before seeing your comment. Stay safe, hope you keep the rubber side down.

(I'd hope for safe bike infrastructure but I don't believe in Santa anymore.)
