  I’m so bad at flirting over text. I can do it irl somewhat once the first bit of convo gets jumpstarted but mannn dating apps kill me. I get far more people down to hang in person then ever from a dating app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dating⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok but like. Dating and flirting talk is different from normal talk. More giggly, more vibes. Some people can’t do that for shit

  You’re not full adding one thing nor do you have a specific plan in mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Care⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You take things step by step. You don’t fix everything at once, but beginning and continuing a variety of initiatives against a variety of threats more easily allows you to scale up those efforts as threats grow closer. It’s a lot easier to do something if you cut it up. And early starting allows easier starts.

  You think that just because something is further in the future that it should be disregarded, but in reality small, fairly low effort approaches started sooner will former a much stronger base in facing threats as opposed to pretending only the closest is a real one.

  And this is just plain doomest, as well as wrong, for now.

  When we are all dead from the rock, the ship isn’t gonna matter - dodge the rock first, then worry about the ship

  A short sighted attitude to a ridiculous degree. You and your “I can only think of one issue at a time” attitude is precisely the kind of problem that politics always has.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Care⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So you are willing to run into another ship just because there’s a rock in front of you. Your example is apt, you still have to and need to worry about all of them to successfully make it out, and cannot just worry about 1.

  The issue is no less important because it is supposedly further out, because we need to get started asap to avoid the most damage

  Thinking that pessimistically removes any chance of actually making the world better.

  Abolishing copyright exclusive and only works if you abolish money with it. Otherwise you’re only benefiting the largest corporations, despite what you think, it won’t be the small guy winning

  Not when I’m listening to videos 4 hours a day at work, not really

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped and is available via torrents⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When copyright dies so rich conglomerates can make money by monetizing out toys and collectibles and theme parks from smaller creators content without paying a dime back to them? Copyright is beneficial. Copyright is good. It needs reform, yes, but don’t mistake that with the concept being bad.

  Ham at my local grocery store is usually $5. For 5 pounds of ham. Like year round. Sometimes loss leaders are wild

  I mean in this situation they’re saying outright that they’re going to release buggy unoptimized incomplete and maybe garage. So that’s just kinda getting what it says on the tin tbh

  You are aware that percentages of demographics changing does not demonstrate a shrinking user base by itself, yes?

  Private companies should be allowed to build their own infrastructure or rent public infrastructure. But they shouldn’t be allowed to purchase public infrastructure. Imo

  Be nice ic Chicago had the same attitude towards our highways ):

  That’s because Cannabis is not a substance with a strong chemical addiction. There has been a significant increase in cannabis usage. www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/ss/ss6511a1.htm

  Strictly, Cannabis isn’t really any worse than alcohol.

  Heroin is far worse. Drugs are addictive, and when available legally it will encourage more people to try them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America Has Become a Digital Narco-State - Paul Krugman⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Freely available heroin is not a good thing. Drug addiction would get significantly worse. Decriminalize possession, criminalize distribution. That’s a more balanced approach

  I’ve always found the other half of American exceptiolism to be equally stupid;the opinion that America is the worst country ever, ir, exceptionally evil or bad among history.

  Risk aversion alone makes it worth having 2 plants colonized. Putting all your eggs in one planet basket is poor long term risk management. But that’s more thinking in the hundreds of thousands and millions of years before that becomes relevant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you seriously think you know what a word’s meaning is better than the hundreds of millions of people who use it in a way different from how you suggest it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Being poor is the only way a country is third world or not. Being politically related to America is not relevant to the present definition. So no, it is not “technically in every other way”. It just is not a third world country, period.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It does. Strictly it does. Why do you think china is no longer considered third world?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Espousing an old no longer relevant definition to sound smarter and be “right” is peak lemmy/reddit behavior. Third world does mean poor now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Math isn’t flexible like that though. You’re asking for flexibility where there is none. Sure pemdas is technically arbitrary but having a set convention for that is strictly necessary and good teaching.
