Also there are still “for real” matchmaking services — for marriage — in plenty of cultures. This is a pretty normal way for folks to get married in many countries. If these apps had gone for being “the digital version of that” instead of algorithmic enshittification, maybe it would be a different story

Craigslist casual encounters was wild. IYKYK

It was what Tinder always advertised itself as but never quite became 😂

Yeah that’s pretty transphobic, and it’s weird that he felt the need to make that long of a statement when he could have just said the last bit.

The President of the USA is a known pedophile who is murdering and kidnapping foreign heads of state and attempting to force the governments of other countries to do what he says.

Being apolitical has always been somewhat shortsighted, but now is definitely not the time.

It’s funny that you’re complaining about people “lacking empathy” for hating on a known fascist.

The real empathic move is to confront & destroy fascism.

I don’t think anyone wants apolitical tech except for a few people like you, who haven’t thought about it very much.

I want liberationary tech. The entire reason I got interested in FOSS in the first place was because it forms a natural extension of the liberationary political work that I do in other fields. If you want apolitical software, then why are you interested in linux, which inherently challenges traditional notions of copyright? No tech is apolitical.

Denazification was never really followed through, they went after the high ranking/infamous ones. But lots of Nazi judges, civil servants, and military officers got off without punishment.

That dude is basically always touring. He’s incredibly hard working

More and more it feels like the USA didn’t win the Cold War, the USSR just lost first

He was doing the work “for free” because he was gonna get paid by selling the stolen parts (or else he was double dipping). Point is, the government has to pay someone else to fix em

Universal healthcare will happen in the USA once my fellow Americans figure out that paying $8K a year in premiums is more than $2K a year in taxes. So. It could take awhile.

I know it’s easy to shit on America and it’s the thing to do currently, but when you cherry pick the worst situations, sure it looks like shit.

Americans, per capita, pay far more for healthcare than any other country, and have a much lower life expectancy than peer countries. By any metric we are getting a shitty deal, far worse than any other country. You cannot “both sides” this one. Privatized healthcare is an abject failure that should be abandoned as quickly as possible.

This isn’t me shitting on America, this is me realistically describing what is currently going on in America.

Hey, just asking the question is a good first step. Talk to people in your community (family, friends, workplace, the gym, wherever you spend time) about these problems. Ask them what they think. Gently suggest some solutions based on working together. If you really don’t have any solutions, say “then what are we supposed to do?” again, and brainstorm some ideas together.

I’m not who you asked but I’ve worked as a carpenter in the past; both types of doors can be soundproofed, it depends more on the surrounding doorframe/wall and weather the door itself has a solid core (quieter, but more $) or not.

The Americans knew what was going on before the Japanese ambassador did, because they had wiretapped the embassy, and their codebreakers decoded the message before the Japanese diplomatic workers did.

When I was a kid I thought the saying was “why don’t you piss in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills first?” And I was like wow adults are gross

All human life has value, but people who disagree lose the protection implied by that statement.

How to get me to move to Australia 😂

If you do ever need to replace that tv, look into monitors for kiosks aimed at businesses. High quality, modern screens with no smart features 🥰
