- Comment on 32, f. Are there any dating sites that are actually free and don't suddenly force me to pay to actually use the site? 14 hours ago:
Yeah im in a metro as well. It’s a challenge with just showing up for me is my disability makes people shy away from engaging with me. Like they are not mean or anything but they just don’t want to deal with the perceived awkwardness of interacting with someone who can’t walk unassisted.

Yeah it’s a known thing that match bought all the dating sites and turned them in to tinder and made the algorithm to not to help you find someone but just keep you on the site. So they just watch your patterns to keep you searching and give you just enough hope so you don’t leave / stop paying.
The question i have is not even about dating but just making IRL friends. Stuff like meet-up is full of scams and professional networking. Where what I’m looking for is a site where I can find people that share my hobbies/interests.
- Comment on Its likely a very large percentage of people would choose to have been born earlier than they were if given the choice. 1 day ago:
Saving 4 innocent girls from a church fire would be a start. The rest I will take my cues from quantum leap and just try my best to do right with once went wrong.

This is very true the idea would not be the savor but just a pair of hands to help. Also in this scenario remember I know the future so i could have a greater impact but just having that information. You also have to remember there were some white people that were icons in the civil rights movement. It was not about one race clawing it’s way up against another race. It was people of both races coming together against inequality and bigotry. If an ally is turned away just because they are white then it’s just a race war and the ownership class win.

Yeah as someone with that privilege it would be cool to go back for nothing else to help with movements like civil rights or hell go back to reconstruction and do it right this time. Don’t let the losers stay in power this time.
- Comment on The Fediverse Passport: A needed tool. 2 days ago:
It’s like everyone forgot about open ID but also having accounts tied to the an instance is not the problem with good export and import. Communities are what we need to have abstraction on just like IRC if I go to @games i should see threads from all instances on the network. Just like everyone in an IRC network can talk in the same channel even though they connect on different IRC servers.
- Comment on Is WW3 more likely to accelerate or slow down anthropogenic climate change? 2 days ago:
Also a lot less death more injuries than previous wars. With the same amount or more of environmental destruction.
- Comment on It is even possible to "imitate" the voice of a fictional character without AI? 4 days ago:
Bugs bunny has had 32 voice actors after mel blank no Ai required.
- Comment on If you could have any vision-related superpower, what would it be? 6 days ago:
The availability to see if people are open to interact with me. Im so afraid of imposing on anyone it makes it a challenge to make friends.
- Comment on Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be? 6 days ago:
I think the the other issue is reporting of events is split into thousands of sources. Just like with media there is no longer a shared conversation between everyone. Back in the day. If Walter Cronkite talked about it everybody knew about it. But know everything is fractured into their own subcultures and to extent their own realities.
- Comment on What are ways to independently make a few bucks on the side? 1 week ago:
I know my wife sells glass art but really only doesn’t it to make room and break even on materials. So it may be allot more work to make a profit at it.
- Comment on ..yeah 2 weeks ago:
I hate to break it to everyone but we are already in world war 3. It’s just that we need way less troops to fight it and you will be shocked to find out who the axis are this time around.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 2 weeks ago:
Yep that’s why they fucked over Bernie so hard. He was what we always wanted in a progressive president. But since the rich area playing both size and acting like they different the DNC sabotaged him twice and now we see the result.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 2 weeks ago:
I honestly don’t think progressive politics is the problem. When it comes to the US. The only other party is the democrats and at best they are center at best but really they are just Republicans from 20 years ago. From a fiscal sense.
Both times they sold the American people to pick them just because the other side is worse. The problem is most people don’t want to pick the lesser of two evils. They want to pick something that will change their lives for the better.
The problem is when Democrats don’t really have a platform or communicate that platform effectively. But the other guy is saying he will fix the problems in people’s lives even if they are lies. Most low information voters will roll the dice on the chance he is not lying. Because the other side has brought nothing to the table at all.
The logic i have seen with a man like that broke my heart was this. He said i care about the plate of Trans folks and other minorities but like on an airplane you have to put on your own mask on first before you help others. So when you are out of work or can’t afford to live. The culture wars feels like less a priority for those type of people.
When looking with that lense it makes sense how people voted. People with higher education and income voted Dem becase they wanted to help others.
People with lower income voted Republican out of desperation and was easy for Republicans to sell the snake oil of. If we hurt these small group of people. All your problems will be solved. Then those same people are hurt more when they find out it was all a lie.
Read up on history and how Germany was after World War I. It’s like having a crystal ball of what’s going to happen next.
- Comment on Why is my GPU's "3D" usage spiking so wildly when I'm not even playing a game? It keeps throttling up and throttling down and the noise is extremely annoying 2 weeks ago:
Ah well that was my best guess. Best of luck figuring it out
- Comment on Why is my GPU's "3D" usage spiking so wildly when I'm not even playing a game? It keeps throttling up and throttling down and the noise is extremely annoying 2 weeks ago:
Do you have steam open at all. You may have shaders compiling outside of game.
- Comment on Interview: Nana Visitor On Wanting To Play Janeway On ‘Voyager’ And The Future Of Kira Nerys In ‘Star Trek’ 2 weeks ago:
Yeah I will agree on that maybe bittersweet is a better word. But over all a very good ending to the story they wanted to tell.
- Comment on Why are ghosts never racist? 2 weeks ago:
Also most racism is really a class issue. As in the upper class control and steal from the lower class and blame the other for the hardship the upper class caused. When your no longer havsa body or comporeal needs. All that stuff goes away.
- Comment on Interview: Nana Visitor On Wanting To Play Janeway On ‘Voyager’ And The Future Of Kira Nerys In ‘Star Trek’ 2 weeks ago:
I want Nana to get all the pay she can. But please keep your hands off DS9, Kurtzman. A joke episode or two on lower decks is one thing. But DS9 ended perfectly and doesn’t need a picard like memberberries train wreck and yes I know any new series can’t ruin the old series if you just ignore it. But i would rather not waste our time.
- Comment on Why are ghosts never racist? 2 weeks ago:
I like to think they observe and change with the times. Kind of grow in death.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Because they are incentivizing us to buy new phones. It’s not a technical reason it’s a capitalism reason.
- Comment on How do I start a crypto wallet 2 weeks ago:
Oh so it’s guess there is at least one stupid question. The only way to make money with crypto is to scam people by rug pulling. So the real question you are asking is how do I scam people for a secondary income.
- Comment on Free NetBSD server user account only for educational purposes 2 weeks ago:
Yeah a shell account is a standard term for getting a terminal access in a shared system going all the way back to mainframes.
Most universities at least in the US had a thing called a Sunsite that came with shell access sometimes.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass might be getting a price hike 2 weeks ago:
I agree on GoG, buying physical only gets you the broken unpatched game they shipped. Steam i feel okay with since they are a private company and not all their games are DRMed and it’s clearly marked if they are.
- Comment on What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks you, this is a great idea, I really like this one. I am concerned though that my crutches would limit my improv versatility.
- Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 2 weeks ago:
Also non violent protests turn violent because the opposition embed bad actors to create the violence or counter protest pushes people to violence out of self defense.
- Comment on Free NetBSD server user account only for educational purposes 2 weeks ago:
Yeah they do
- Comment on Free NetBSD server user account only for educational purposes 2 weeks ago:
If you are planning on running an open shell account server. I would look up joining the tildeverse as a member server.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass might be getting a price hike 3 weeks ago:
It’s more the trend of i have seen in the tech space of a deal too good to be true. A tech company taking a loss to gain marketshare and drive out competition on price or flat out buy them then when they have cornered the market drive up the price for insane profits and customers have no choice because you effectively become the platform.
