You’re saying they’re looking for an excuse to shut down? Yeah honestly that’s what I figured, locking comments doesn’t make any sense otherwise.

After the call for admins, there was never an indication that the search wasn’t going well. Honestly, I would’ve put some time in (& I’m sure many others would’ve) if we’d known closure was imminent.

Exactly the same, just that I don’t use a screen protector either.
This thing has been dropped so much that I think it’s just undestroyable, the new Nokia 3310

For the markings, I’ve seen such a small cart that just had an adjustable wheel on a pole at the side. Since the pole was fixed length, they just kept the wheel near the outer road border and thus kept the distance always the same, keeping the marking in the middle.

Honestly, why not ask Discord support? It’s literally their problem they’d want to fix most likely :D

Little common luxuries, lots of nature, lots of silence, freedom from most things. It’s a return to a more ancient, simple way of life.
For some people this represents extreme comfort and serenity.
For other people they don’t understand why you’d give up having a warm shower readily available (or similar things) and are annoyed the whole way.
Have fun finding out what’s yours! :D

Of course you can create it basically anywhere. But if you’re going to allow posting of pictures of women in bikinis, your community will be mainly used to masturbate, that much is guaranteed. So if that is the case, it makes complete sense to put it on lemmynsfw.com.
I’m not sure how many are actually interested directly in bikinis. I.e. if there was no woman attached to them, would people actually like and comment on pictures of bikinis, or start discussion threads about topics related to bikinis? I mean sure, there are probably some people, but I’m also pretty sure they’re vastly outnumbered by people interested in bikinis because a woman is clothed by them.
- Comment on Traveling Salesman is NP-Hard, yet Uber Eats delivery route optimization algorithms exist 1 month ago:
But isn’t “pick up multiple orders at a restaurant, then figuring out in which order to deliver them to minimize time spent delivering” the traveling salesman problem? I thought that’s what the post referred to.

- Comment on How is it to have very bright skin in America? 1 month ago:
You’re likely gonna experience racism in some form in any community you go to where you are the minority. People are racist, not people of some specific skin color.
So your assessment is correct, if you go to a majority black community you’re probably gonna find people racist against white people.
But when you go to the US, white is still the majority. And if you’re not the majority, you’re mostly still a large part. Statistically, the most racism you’ll experience is everyday racism, where maybe some black people believe you’re an asshole even though you aren’t. Most of the time you’re not going to experience anything.

- Comment on gross either way, but do friends actually talk like this or would this be from people who are dating or something? 1 month ago:
I mean, they already said they’re being harassed. I can fully see how someone might add someone to group chat in a way of “hey guys I found another one to add to our chat, their kink is to act all indignant about noticing us sexting, have fun”
- Comment on How would I describe myself? 1 month ago:
I can actually perfectly answer your question on how you would describe yourself. And it’s literally impossible for anyone to argue with me.
You would describe yourself as « Je suis né au Chili mais je réside à France maintenant. »
- Comment on gross either way, but do friends actually talk like this or would this be from people who are dating or something? 1 month ago:
I don’t know the app, but if they’re literally harassing you, this might also just be someone with two accounts talking with themselves.
If they’re different people… “Friends” is just a label. It means “people being friendly with each other, helping each other out in a mutually beneficial relationship, not sexually involved”. The “not sexually involved” part is usually implied because if they were sexually involved, you’d call them something else, “partners” or “fuck buddy” or similar. But if someone is sexually open, not doing the standard “relationship” thing often or at all, then they might just drop the additional description of “friend” to have the property “not sexually involved”. It is literally called “friend with benefits” often. So yes, “friends”, however someone defines that label, may include talking like this.
What you’re really asking is “in usual society, do friends usually talk like this?”, to which the answer is no. But you’re also implying that friends talking like this, or someone having a slightly different definition of “friend”, is somehow a bad thing. Which it is not. The bad thing is the “harassing you” part. There is no need for you to socially shame their sexual behavior, the “harassing you” part is already shameful enough. I would focus on your boundaries and enforcing them, you are fully in your right to do that, and not focus on their behavior with other people.

It’s quite simple really, in my opinion:
There’s all kinds of bullshit involved in traditional dating. Asking someone out can be a definite social “faux pas”. I know this personally because I asked someone out and they were like “ew” and then told their friends “I can’t believe that guy would ask me out, do you believe that? Hahaha let’s all laugh at him”. Obviously they are shitty people, but it’s a definite issue. This was an extreme example, but there’s more like it (also personally experienced, but no need for more boring personal anecdotes), even just relatively simple ones like women being annoyed at being asked out so much.
Along come dating apps. This is an extremely convenient way to meet people, and mainly because of one thing: everyone there is fine with being asked out and being sexual. That’s literally the purpose why everyone is there. All the bullshit I talked about basically vanishes. They obviously come with their own problems, everyone knows about them, but it just can’t be denied that they’re extremely convenient, take a lot of pressure/fear out of the whole process.
- Comment on Why is society so hard to work within whether online or physically in person 2 months ago:
Of course I know docs need continuous learning. But do they get all knowledge from that? Of course not. There are still gaps in their knowledge, and like I say, also gaps in scientific medical knowledge itself.
Which interpretation exactly? Can you elaborate please? I’m actually curious in what you think I’m wrong about.
- Comment on Why is society so hard to work within whether online or physically in person 2 months ago:
This is a good approach imo, and if you truly didn’t get the doctor you talked to to take you seriously and fully address your concerns, then they might be a lost cause. Some people are simply not capable.
- Comment on Why is society so hard to work within whether online or physically in person 2 months ago:
As for your idea, it does definitely make sense. The question I would personally pose would be more like, how does it help you? What do you actually want from the doctor? Do you want their understanding or do you want medical help in some way? What’s your goal there?
Theoretically, if you want, you can just look for studies or other information on your particular situation. But usually, a doctor will be much better at this, because they have contextual knowledge or other kind of advantages that will help them find the correct studies more quickly, or interpret them more accurately. The hard part is getting them to do it. I had success with this by pointing out inconsistencies in the symptoms, by asking for explanations, by asking them where they got their information from.
- Comment on Why is society so hard to work within whether online or physically in person 2 months ago:
The thing with doctors is, you have to do your own work to disrupt their standard way of working. It’s actually really hard, but it’s possible. You have to basically be persistent but very polite and understanding of them. You have to keep asking questions until you are either satisfied or are sure that they can’t help you because they’re too closed off. You can’t let them dismiss you even when they try.
You have to basically make them think of you as a person rather than a patient. Doctors can be very empathetic and helpful when you manage to do this, because then they remember why they became doctors, because they want to help people. But it is work on your side to get them to this state, which is annoying and not always possible, so I can completely understand why you wouldn’t want to “waste your time”.
