I’m lucky to say both my parents are like this. They have flaws, for sure, and it would probably worry them if I started unloading on them suddenly, but they wouldn’t judge or be angry at me, that’s for certain.

If anything I need to filter what I say to protect them, they’re both quite prone to worrying too much for things that aren’t very important.

This is how you find out your profile’s bad.

I don’t know how applicable this is to this persons specifically, but here’s some general advice from someone who’s been on both sides (I’m trans), and got a high amount of matches either way.

Every woman I’ve spoken to about Tinder agrees :

• Men overwhelmingly have profiles with little to no info in their bio (most often copy-pasted jokes, extremely generic facts like “I like food and music”…)

• And poorly taken and/or cringe photos (posing with their car, half drunk with half a dozen other people, making a weird face, showing off nonexistent gains…)

If you want more matches, you need good pictures (not blurry, not from far away, not backlit) that stand out from the rest (especially, no one cares about your car. An expensive car is a huge douchebag redflag), and a bio that actually says something about your hobbies, world view, etc.

So, in summary, two steps :

• Actually be an interesting person (probably already true, but hard to fix if not)
• Communicate that properly (easier than you think, see above)

That’s fair, I think this could be allowed by authorizing those ads to be placed by local cinemas, concert halls, and museums.

That would also mean a film’s marketing has to pay cinemas directly to advertise in-town through them, which would be a source of revenue for them !

I personally think physical advertisements in the city should be limited to local businesses only.

And of course, no ads by the motorway, although that’s already the case here in France.

If you want a bit of a “Deadpool” type edge, that hero can purposely kill themselves if they fail the mission to get another go.

Or turn it another way, and we eventually discover they’ve started routinely doing so until they get everything absolutely perfect. They’ve lived multiple subjective “years” in the past few weeks, and it’s begun affecting them much more than they realize…

Next time they’ll “invent” using a compiled language in the first place

That’s cool, but how easy is that material to manufacture ? Silicon is relatively easy to make a plentiful.

Yarrr 🏴‍☠️

I’ve never been much of a beach person, although my main issue is the heat, so that should be fine this time of year.

But the forest sounds nicer to me, the flowers are just coming out right now and there are many birds ! All the greenery is also very relaxing, plus there’s a chance to see some more wildlife (perhaps a deer ? Thankfully, wasting disease hasn’t reached the local population !)

The only two other possible endings to this were :

1. The locals kill him
2. The locals kill him, but also get some illness they have no immunity for, and they all die.

We have our turf wars but we’re all secretly friends. Friendly competition keeps everyone motivated !

Arch Linux !? Libel ! Real trans people use NixOS 😎

All who do not actively resist are complicit.

Never had to use state so far, so I don’t know. Makes some sense for a personal config I guess, but afaic it’s never been necessary

I do ! I use NoScript in Firefox, and I allow scripts selectively when they’re needed. You’d be surprised how many websites just work with everything off !

This may differ depending on your usage, though. I don’t really use in-browser apps if at all possible, and I don’t use conventional social media aside from YouTube and Reddit (PeerTube and Lemmy are better but there’s still too much info / people on the corporate versions to fully switch over)

I hope he helps his mom carry the groceries at least.

You have JavaScript enabled by default ?

Full disk encryption with a LVM inside a LUKS arrition is pretty easy to setup, arch wiki is very helpful for that ! You can even encrypt most of the bootloader, so the drive is 100% useless if stolen.

The irony of the original graph is that if you draw the arrows that go the other way, they’re symmetrical.

Of course people are more attracted to attractive people. That’s literally why it’s called “being attractive”.

It takes me most of the morning 😆 I’m an afternoon / evening person, the morning is for listening to the birds and looking out the window while lazily responding to messages and doing the easy busywork ; so it’s all out of the way for the real work of the afternoon.

I need a slow and peaceful morning so I can ramp up.
