  • Do you want conservative, right-wing, MAGA, or mainline Republican? Shit is crazy fragmented right now. The GOP has shown it has no place for conservatives, only reactionaries or bootlickers. Even hard-line religious rightwingers are feeling the shove right now. I was never a Republican but I used to be able to vote for them occasionally. Nowadays the only party putting forth conservative candidates are the Democrats.

    So, uh, I guess you could talk about that.

  • I prefer actual recommendations from real people. That's how I've found most of my favorite books and videogames.

    Music is a little different. I do occasionally hop on Pandora to let their algo recommend new things. I also listen to indie radio and pull from there. But I still rely on stealing songs I hear friends play, if not specific recommendations.

  • The three big differences are these:

    • It doesn't shuffle a playlist, it adds to a queue by pulling from a playlist at random. This means that if the playlist changes, eg. because it's a smart playlist, you get the new songs added to the queue later.
    • You can change the playlist it pulls from without interrupting playback or resetting the queue.
    • It keeps track of which songs were just played as well as what is about to be played.

    It has other great features that are present in some or most other apps. But the third thing I've only seen in one other app, the first two in none.

  • Because it was taught wrong to most adults when they were children. Pedagogy has changed, though, and gen alpha are actually becoming numerate instead of being told to just memorize things like my generation was. Maybe the zoomers got lucky with that, too.

    But seriously, as a mathematician and a teacher, you're not bad at math because of something inherent to you. You're bad at math because you weren't taught numeracy.

  • Not very big in the US anymore, but florists still advertise for it and when I was young it was uncommon but not unknown for boys to leave flowers for girls they admired. I think it's one of those traditions that's dying out though.

  • Five years is nothing, if you're both adults.

    Five years is sketchy, if you're both students at a university. A graduate student or senior undergraduate dating a new freshman seems predatory, and often is.

    Five years is appalling, if one of you is a child. A college student dating someone barely out of middleschool is more than just predatory.

    I know many happy couples that have a decade between them, because the problem isn't a difference in age, it's a difference in position. Two adults with jobs and a full education are at a similar level.
