You are breaking the internet with this non sense.

I think that’s their goal. Conservative types benefit when people have limited access to information

For example, white men will generally have an easier time in public spaces. Police and shops are less likely to bother them.

privilege doesn’t mean “you have a yacht” or “you’re rich”

I kind of assume it’s the juxtaposition of “I as a white man have immense social privilege” with “I can’t get anyone to play with me”. Like, other people are worried about being abducted on the street and you’re sad you can’t play basketball with your bros?

The sadness of loneliness can be real but in contrast to other things it can feel like it needs to be triaged into a lower priority. And then some men lose their shit over that, which makes people take them less seriously.

No. I’m not driving anywhere (walkable city resident) and I’m not eating that junk. I’m insufferable, sorry.

Right wingers are idiots, in the sense of being exclusively emotional driven. Like children, without the excuse of being children

Many people have a poor understanding of human communication and say things like “I don’t do small talk”. They don’t seem to understand that you use small talk (eg: what did you do this weekend?) to launch into more personal talk (eg: “I saw this doom metal band The Well play at so-and-so bar. So good! Do you like metal?”)

Sometimes people do like the grey text here and answer small talk questions in short, dead end, ways, and unless you’re trying to kill the conversation that’s probably self sabotage.

If this is tinder or similar, she should unmatch.

If it’s just regular messaging, yeah the guy should back off.

I read they’re using react, the JavaScript library, for the start menu. If true that strikes me as insane

Not sure if you’re being entirely serious, but I do find it funny when people (often women in this context) self sabotage like this. By half assing 20 conversations, some number of good matches will bounce because you look like a boring person who can’t converse. You’re more likely to end up with someone who doesn’t care about your words, and then will probably treat you badly.

Ok so there’s like 0 chance the person who wrote that knows this, but with a browser plugin like adblock or scriptmonkey, or probably even a custom css sheet thing, you could change the color.

Or they were being a troll and don’t care.

Unless the conflict was like “someone close to me is giving birth” tier, he could have scheduled better.

Ah yes, the classic “these things share one property so they share all properties” argument.

Blinking closes your eyes. You can safely drive and blink. Thus, you can drive safely with your eyes closed.

Distracted driving is pretty irresponsible and dangerous.

Just this morning some guy blew through a stop sign and almost hit me. He had his cell phone in hand. Maybe he was on a meeting, too.

The ending of earthbound. I was playing it without a guide and hit “pray” in desperation, and what happened surprised me. It’s a little melodramatic but any sort of 11th hour save by people who care usually gets me.

If I have money, I give it to them if they aren’t raising any danger flags. Like there’s one woman who just screams “I’M HUNGRY” at people, and I’m sure that’s true, but I don’t engage with her because it feels unsafe. There’s one whose name I learned, and another couple we recognize each other now.

I used to make good money (low six figures). Giving away $20/week to people asking for it wasn’t even noticeable in my budget. I could probably have done $200/week without noticing. I think my peers are just bad at budgeting though.

I’ve been unemployed for a while now, so I don’t always have cash to give. I tell them the truth.

I don’t expect people who have nothing to give a lot. But I know many of my six figure salary peers could give without even noticing the money, and they don’t. They don’t give to charity, either. They just buy video games they don’t play, run the AC so they have to wear a hoodie inside, and so on.

I’m pretty sure these scam calls are because the phone companies don’t care enough to build better systems. We just all accept a shitty world because Verizon can’t be bothered.

But if I’m on example.com/feed and I see posts [1,2,3] based on my user and whatever algorithm is there, and you’re on example.com/feed and you see posts [4,5,6], how would it know? Same url, completely different content.

I guess it would work on pages that have a fixed url, like news articles.

How would it work, technically, on a dynamic website? Any given url may load different content.

In the romulan disruptor kind of way?

I wonder if “I know it when I see it” would be good enough if it had to pass a public vote. Do you think the regular people on the street would vote to support gerrymandering? Getting good voter turnout and education is its own set of problems, admittedly.
