Damn, that works in Windows 10 as well. Blech.

Hey, I use my menu key as Compose!

Turning a legion of hopefuls takes time and a mental toll. Not wanting to deal with that effort is perfectly legitimate. I know you don't think so, but it is.

You can be an antinatalist (I am) and still have sex and enjoy it, if you have the chance.

You know, vasectomy and salpingectomy exist.

Nothing worse than a ‘what if’ haunting you forever.

Sorry, there is something much worst: a continuous avalanche of incredulous and horrified rejections.

Nah, at their work they can't reject you properly if they're giving a service and their work is listening to you. That's abusing your position as client.

So you feign interest to pick up someone.

Not something I'm interested in doing.

I’ll be honest, as long as you don’t make it weird you can approach a lot of people be they’re on the job or not

Nah, people talk. If it's known that you've approached many people, you'll get an automatic rejection from the rest.

Okay so what if you’re from one of the many countries where asking people out on dates isn’t really a thing?

I'm interested to know what countries would those be and how does people meet usually.

Now put yourself in the girl's place and multiply that interaction for all the guys that tried to pick her up. Does that change your tune?

If consenting adults are meeting one another in a public space

"Consent" is a problem when men try to hit on women using headphones, or when people don't get the hint that you really don't want to have a conversation with strangers.

Best advice I’ve heard was to take up a social hobby, but I haven’t a clue what that would be either.

The problem with that is that I have zero tolerance for stupidity and superstition, so I'd have a lousy time in most conversations or initial dates.

"What sign are you?"

"Check!"

...

"What church do you go to?"

"Check!"

having that kind of easy access to dating when I was younger would’ve been absolutely petrifying

To fair many don't see that as "easy access to dating" but as a fast track to public humiliation. For me it would be like those apps don't exist, I'd never use them.

Weird to me that people are trying to demonize public flirting.

People like you want to demonize the desire to be left alone by strangers, and sadly you're in the majority, so stop whining.

In yours, people is entitled to bother anyone at any time, and I'm pretty sure that nobody takes "no" for an answer, so I'm pretty sure your interlocutor wouldn't want to live there, either. Neither do I.

It has some interesting ideas and chapters. But when the creator of the show and the actor playing the Nietschean first officer leave due to Sorbo's ego, the show really turns into a dumpster fire.

That man deserve no respect from me since he turned Duncan Idaho into a fucking fratboy (that is, the only part he's ever played everywhere).

Nah, there was the clear risk that Tuvix exhibited the worst traits of Tuvok and Neelix. That would be a total nightmare. Restoring the original was the proper choice. At some point an opportunity to get rid of Neelix could appear, and you could retain the original Tuvok without loss.

I use it as a Compose key with WinCompose.
