So free reign for censorship so long as someone alleges harm?

Theyre definitely been increasing in price lately

Ooh, Matter really keeps impressing me

Yeah but the trees that made it into hydrocarbons were fuled by our sun.

Alternatively you can depict it as filthy and Victorian. Something that was once an improvement, but these days really only belongs in a museum. You can compare it to child labor and accurately point out that the Victorian era was grimy and disgusting because of how much coal was burned then.

They’re claiming Michelle is a trans woman actually. I don’t care enough about their delusions to figure out how they think the kids happened

She’s a powerful black woman whom they dislike and so a lot of them have convinced themselves she’s trans to make her even worse in their eyes and to try to convince others she (and her husband) are bad.

The sheer right wing derangement over the Obamas is fucking nuts

I think in Idaho the answer is “Washington or Oregon, we’ve taken the liberty of getting rid of your house”

Eh it fits in everyone else’s pants too. Gotta make sure everyone is using their government approved genitals for only government (a subsidiary of religion corp) sanctioned activities

Guarantee it won’t be sufficient if they think you look trans. Especially not if you’re a trans person with a sex chromosomal abnormality

I’ll also add, local government is a part time job unless you’re mayor of a large city. These are ordinary people who can be forced to be subjected to the judgement and distaste of their neighbors.

You can put up signs about their bad behavior in office. You can refuse them service in your store. You can’t do shit to the president or your representative in congress, but by fuck can you make a city councilor rue the day they ran for office

Yeah plenty of people like cunts, nobody likes Ted Cruz

Well he ran for human president

Nah he’s the senator who could be murdered at work and the senate wouldn’t convict the killer

Honestly the listacle is a bit cringe if you’re at an age where most people can be expected to have been on a few dates. There’s a huge difference between searching for coffee shops/museums/whatever else in your area or even “things to do in x area” and searching for first date ideas. The former says you have a structure in mind, but you don’t necessarily know the specific locations, the latter says you have no idea and didn’t think the first source to ask is the person you’re going on a date with.

And as for llms vs general internet use goes? Yeah using llms is a turn off. I find the ability to write for oneself and process and analyze text for themselves important traits in a partner. What I’ve seen from llm users is that they often cede those skills.

A huge portion of the apps is just that. And I get it it’s awkward and it can be boring having the same conversation over and over. I sometimes am guilty of it too.

But I suspect a lot of people don’t really actively engage with stuff enough to be able to be interesting. I’ve seen people blame consumptive hobbies (as opposed to productive ones), but hell tell me about the TV show you’ve been watching or the video game you’ve been playing. If you’re consuming it in a critical manner you can say “well I really like what they did with the villain here, it really touches on the theme of [x], though I think sometimes the messaging is inconsistent”. Or “Oh yeah I really love these mechanics, it’s been fun watching the series evolve”. Fucking hell tell me what you think about a YouTube video you recently watched. I think some people basically disassociate into entertainment.

But yeah chatting without a prompt can be difficult, especially when not face to face. Getting to face to face relatively quickly is something I generally recommend people do while on the apps to minimize it. But also like, actually interact with life and the other person.

It says they’re adventurous and it says what sort of things (at least food wise) interest them. It also potentially indicates a vibe. “Hey, I’ve been hearing that an izakaya style place opened up, and I don’t think you can go wrong with beer and fried food, you want to try it out?” Compared to “I’ve heard really good things about Ethiopian food, but I’ve never had it. Want to be adventurous?” Or “Let’s grab a coffee. Here I’ll look up small coffee shops a reasonable distance from both of us.” Or even “Do you like Mexican food? I’ll see what options are nearby.”

All of them say different things about the person and all of them are great ways to propose a plan for a date

We need to start putting Adderall in the water

The option is salad, and so often all/most of the salads have meat in them…
