• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At what point in the friendship does dating become awkward?⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, awkwardness is something entirely personal. Ask any other person and they might say dating after a friendship is never awkward or that it always is. It’s irrelevant to ask anyone else about awkwardness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the name of the sexuality of being into the opposite gender and willing to date the same gender but not finding anyone of the same gender attractive?⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  If thex genuinely have neither romantic nor sexual attraction to any women, just want to, I’d call it “wanting to fit in/wanting to belong” with a specific group, having no connection at all to one’s sexuality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course they would. Not everyone reasonable of course, but people are terribly stupid by default, even if they somehow stumbled into Firefox for some reason before.

  There are people that say stuff like “better the devil you know” or “if I compromise privacy either way, might as well use the more supported browser” or whatever rationalizations people come up with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would a stateless society handle serious threats such as mass murder and terrorism?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I like me some good smelly ass to suck

  Especially your mom’s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would a stateless society handle serious threats such as mass murder and terrorism?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, if there are a couple tribes enough distance apart to each be self-sufficient, there is no incentive to even have a state. Government/states only became useful once too many people lived too closely together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ukraine: Zelenskyy offers to quit in return for NATO entry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not bargaining… It’s simply proving he isn’t a dictator

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why should anything be crashing at this point? Everyone is still working, right? Value is still being extracted from workers, right? People are still buying things, aren’t they?

  The stock market will only start crashing once the effects actually reach people’s spending/working behavior, which it didn’t yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I a bad friend/rude for not engaging with my friends and giving one-word responses?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad :) I hope you can get to a better place with your depression. I’ve been through it, I know how much it sucks. If you need more advice/explanations/help, don’t hesitate to ask.

  Many people in here treated you very unfairly, because you did sound very much like you’re saying “I’m incredibly amazing and can do nothing wrong”, and some people assume that such a person could never do something different and they absolutely hate that.

  A healthy confidence is incredibly important, but so is knowing that you’re not perfect either. I’m very proud that it seems like you can do both :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where is the line between being yourself and trying to change?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As others have said, flirting is a “natural”, risk-free way to show sexual interest in someone.

  I’m autistic and basically can’t do it. So I just go up to people I find attractive, and say “hey I think you’re cute, I’d like to get to know you better, would you also like that?” or some variation of this. Most of the time it doesn’t work, but quite evidently by what is lying next to me, it works sometimes.

  Being yourself is not about not doing the things that are required to reach your goals. You still need to do them, i.e. express sexual interest. What is meant is that you need to figure out a way to do the things that are necessary to reach your goal in a way that you can actually learn to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I a bad friend/rude for not engaging with my friends and giving one-word responses?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not really about the sarcasm itself, what they were saying was so ridiculous that having that as an actual opinion is just completely unrealistic. It shows that your conecpt of reality in ragards to yourself, i.e. self-awareness, is currently very lacking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I a bad friend/rude for not engaging with my friends and giving one-word responses?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you’re a bad friend because of your depression. It’s unfortunate and not something you should feel even more bad/depressed about, but it’s simply true.

  If they’re good friends they will understand if you just tell them the truth. Instead of saying “No” you can just say, “sorry, I’m really depressed, I can’t do this”. It’s a bit longer to write/say, but at least you’re communicating honestly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I a bad friend/rude for not engaging with my friends and giving one-word responses?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you actually think this wasn’t complete sarcasm?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But yeah, that’s the thing, it doesn’t matter where it is based when there can’t be any information gleamed from it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no point to living. For every single reason someone found, someone else doesn’t care about that at all. If there is a point to living, we haven’t found it yet.

  That said. Try self-improvement. Read about psychology. Analyze your own mind. You might find some stuff pointing you towards something.

  For example. Why do you say “I save most of my paycheck. What for? I have no idea” and “I don’t want to travel because it costs money” just a few sentences apart? This doesn’t make any sense. You save money for nothing yet you don’t travel because it costs money? To me, this suggests some conditioning you’re a victim of, something like just following some predefined set of rules because someone (probably parents) once said “you should be saving money” and “you should not spend money on unnecessary things”.

  Or. Are you afraid of something? But kinda would like to do it if it wasn’t scary? Go do it. What have you got to lose? Nothing matters anyway, right?

  You might just notice if you do these two things, there is actually stuff to live for, you just haven’t found it because you either had social conditioning or fear that stopped you from it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you keep up?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got backups. Haven’t updated or looked at my server in months. If I’m ever compromised by missing security updates, I just load a backup and regenerate all keys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm cleaning today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  😆❤️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm cleaning today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t believe you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah I see!

  So you’re essentially saying that instead of asking women to smile, I should also ask them to get their tits out for me to gawp at!

  Thank you :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We like music because our brains crave pattern recognition.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Imo it’s very unlikely that we grew to like music that already existed rather than growing to like audio patterns and then noticing we can make music.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why does everyone i know treat me like a child or if i was a very childlike person??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s really hard to give you any advice if we don’t know you. It’d really require a longer conversation talking about you and your life, the situations you’ve been in, and so on.

  If you’d like, we could have that conversation, just tell me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would definitely want to see them prosecuted. However, the sentence should probably be light. I’m not perfectly familiar with the justice system, so I don’t know how much of this is currently the case, but I think vigilante justice should result in smaller punishments than for example if the reason of the murder was personal gain. If it can actually be proven that the murder victim did those terrible things they were killed for, depending how terrible those things are, the sentence should be reduced. If for example someone killed Hitler, there should be no punishments for this person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They simply don’t exist anymore. The only choice is to do this with a smart TV and never connect it to the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal to feel tired of technological progress?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It feels to me like you don’t hate progress, but you hate late stage capitalism.

  If progress happened without it being forced on you, without you “having” to adapt to not “fall behind”, when all your needs were provided for without having to compete to satisfy them…

  Would you really mind progress that much?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just finish to see all TNG movies.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Semi-unrelated question: I’ve watched Star Trek Voyager with my gf, she doesn’t know any other Trek. I don’t think we want to watch TOS, but will probably continue with TNG and DS9 next.

  Do you need to know the TOS characters like Kirk, Spock etc before watching the movies, or are they adequately introduced in the movies so you can watch them as someone completely ignorant?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this a triangle?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But it’s absolutely clear that the first definition is meant by the person that is being responded to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this a triangle?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that depends on your definition of curved… If I look at this image from a 3 dimensional coordinate system that includes the sphere, the edges are definitely curved. Of course, if you look at this from the coordinate system “surface of the sphere” then I would agree with you. There are 2 ways to look at this and decide if it is a triangle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. But is a statement like “everyone in hexbear is insane” helpful in any way at all? The only thing it serves is to further any divide and cause more hostility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The times I went there with differing opinions I never got insulted. They think their views are right and (sometimes) mine wrong. They also shared their reasons and tried in their way to educate me. They have their own culture over there that is more rude/direct than normal, but it’s certainly possible to speak normally to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think all people deserve respect by default. Only through someone’s actions may the respect for them be rescinded. Calling a whole bunch of people something is just almost never correct and only furthers any already existing divide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can do these things while talking face-to-face with somebody.

  Calling a whole bunch of different people with different opinions than you, that you don’t all know, “insane”, seems to me like you feel you are smarter/better than them.
