I mean I appreciate homosexual tendencies in men too. I think it makes for some really steamy stories. I guess that’s that Kinsey spectrum.

It’s just possible I’ve just lapsed into presumed heterosexuality because I’m in a great monogamous relationship with a woman.

So anyway, that’s why I say gay-er, but not fully gay or bi. Does that even make sense? Lol

I’m a fairly cishet man and I think she’s responsible for my appreciation of queer lit. I’m definitely a little gayer than I otherwise would be.

Hahaha

I live in a kind of steal-y neighborhood, and not that I got a big neurotic dog for this reason, but I haven’t had anything taken since Ronda and I teamed up.

And terminators

A valuable lesson

Excellent summary. Just as a bit of trivia I’ll add that Linux file permissions go like r w x (read write execute) = 4 2 1, so taken all together a 7 means the indicated user can do all those operations.

And yeah, it breaks your system in surprising ways. Most people would just have to start over.

I accidentally did this on a work computer, just going with tab completion. Things started to break very quickly. I don’t think I could even run sudo or rm lol. Total wash. Had to reinstall (this was on my first week in office - so embarrassing!).

It felt weirder to me a few years ago. But over time a just vaguely identifiable character for 2010 to 2019 has emerged when I think of that decade.

The programming socks will be the first sign.

I like to read until I hit a noun, then look to see what community this it was posted to, then kinda riff it from there.

It’s also always been the way that the people who actually clicked the link get to come into the comments and be frustrated at us for being legitimately wrong.

I can kinda see it, though he’s not my cup of tea. I like my videos a bit more essay-like and a bit more serious mode.

Even just mirroring.

Is there a tool already that makes it easy to upload to both? Idk, I haven’t uploaded a video since like the 10s

TIL I look quite a bit like 2 LA cops in particular

What do you mean on a time basis?

Agree that it’s hard to find really long running conversions (like what you see on forums), unless you happen to be going back and forth with one other person (notifications pull you back in).

Yes, I agree with that. I try to inject a little counter culture whenever a wade into the mainstream, but generally avoid it because I find it very saddening.

Forums still exist, but I hard agree with you. I was so excited when the lemmy devs were considering hiding votes counts from the frontend by default. Unfortunately (imo) it got shot down by the community pretty quickly.

I think “likes” as a socials concept are part of a dark engagement pattern we’ve willfully brought over from the mainstream, and we won’t be able to be much better than them until we’re rid of it.

Good question, and they might. In which case it would be easier to have a discussion with them.

However, I think much of the time they cleave to a more Kantian morality, where acting correctly / virtuously in accordance with an identifiable authority. They may also believe that the future of life on this planet is trivial when compared to quality of life on some metaphysical plane.

I have this discussion with my neighbour constantly who is nice, but she keeps saying I’ve “got to have faith” and that “they have a plan to fix all this when the time is right” all while real people are suffering and dying, and their suffering is indelible — it can never be made to have not happened — and they will never be coming back.

It’s really hard to have a real discussion about reality with someone like that.
