I'm afraid that's kinda just how it is... with the dating apps at least. If you're on a dating app, you're a disposable swipe. I had 3+ dates with this girl recently, and I was starting to think that this could be a thing, and then se fue. Silence. Not even a thanks. Anyways, that's kind of how it is apparently.

So here's my recommendation instead. Go and do shit. With other people. Don't try to date, try to open up the possibility for a date to happen. And then don't chase it, let it happen. Eg, go and learn salsa dancing. (As an introvert, it was a real hard thing for me to do (understatement), but it was so worth it.) Or join a hiking group, or Dnd, or pub quiz, or just anything that gets you into different social circles, meeting new people, where you aren't a disposable swipe, you're a team mate.

Also, don't read into other people. Sometimes people get busy with their lives, or have a crisis, a million reasons why they ghost you. It's not you, it's them. Girls don't take apps seriously either. They are expecting 99% of douchebags, and they would be 98% correct.

Final tip, get a gym buddy. That does wonders for ADHD, depression, confidence, energy, etc etc etc.

Tl;dr, apps suck, go get involved socially, work on yourself.

One broken system is enough..

As a kiwi, I'm sorry you guys only have a binary choice.

My 2 cents without really knowing much: much:

Harris- only good by comparison Won't make the major changes necessary not very funny

Trump- Orange Hilarious Has some good ideas on bringing jobs back

Is the direction of rotation in the room with us right now?

"I'm fine."

The problem is I keep repeating the same lie.

Whenever I hear things like this, I ask 'What's the problem they are actually trying to solve?'

Most of the time there is no problem, it's a solution looking for a problem. In this case, it seems like the only problem to solve is:

Today, New Zealanders still cannot make instant payments electronically to other people, unless they are both with the same bank."

I'm pretty sure that could be solved with a middle-man app instead of a 'digital currency.' Venmo exists in the US, something like that?

I'm sure we have had similar.. TradeMe has Ping which "Make payments safely with Ping. Pay or get paid instantly – using a credit or debit card, or Ping balance." .. so, yeah problem already solved, instant payments.

The movie clearly shows that the robots acted as if they felt pain and suffering.

I thought the ending made it pretty clear that in the end, they are cold calculating and very intelligent machines with no actual feelings or compassion, and we had been deceived the whole time. My interpretation I guess, but I feel like that makes the movie better.

There should be an app or something for this..

Good point.

Her maker imprisoned and tortured all of his creations.

I don't recall entirely but I'm pretty sure it didn't know that

She couldn’t trust the kid, he lied to her about there being no other machines

So, death is justifiable then?

It's an AI, and it was pretty clearly demonstrated at the end that it felt no remorse or compassion for the dude. It was very very good at manipulating the humans and achieving it's goal at any cost, so.. I completely disagree. Evil wins because living, feeling human beings suffered due to the actions of a sexy computer.

Hard question because I watch so much horror..

Ex Machina

Not sure if this would be categorised under 'violence' but the mini series Chernobyl is freakin excellent. It's PvE, no sex, no human vs human violence (AFAIK). If you haven't seen that, I would recommend it 110%. There's a real sense of comradery, as multiple nations contribute to help contain the disaster, but it's also tragic. The series also depicts the event as less bad than it actually was in some respects.

I... actually can't tell if you're taking the piss or if that's a real episode.

I have so many questions about the whales.

Terrible weather, bucketing rain, not too cold, low visibility in fog / low cloud. Close proximity to mountain bike park. Full day of sliding down trails, getting covered in mud. Absolutely miserable, wet and dirty all day, struggling to maintain traction up the hills, frequently sliding out. Evening spa / hot pools to relax the muscles with a beer.

That's heaven.

Freesia, because it reminds me of my childhood and Spring.

Tarballs are not built from source?

I have heard multiple times from different sources that building from git source instead of using tarballs invalidates this exploit, but I do not understand how. Is anyone able to explain that?

If malicious code is in the source, and therefore in the tarball, what's the difference?

Pretty sure you could count not freezing to death, having a space to keep your things safe, health, stability etc as a value output.

It's true... far right dictators love this shit:
