it's very hard to say, except in hindsight. and that's typically after everyone involved is long dead and we only see the long term benefits that came of it.
my exact experience with tinder. if you're not am absolute stud you get nothing but bots. and girls get overwhelmed with likes from basically every guy in 100km.
my partner of more than 4 years is sitting across the room from me, in the house we jointly rent and share with two small furry creatures.
She's from Brazil, I'm NZ. We met on OKC and she flew over to meet me late 2019, then after border restrictions had eased she moved over to be with me around the same time in 2022. just slightly less than 3 years long distance.
I would guess this effect is caused by lowered anxiety, or rather, reduced alertness. I take a medication that includes an adrenal blocker - for my anxiety - and if I miss even a day my dreams go crazy as my body is flooded with levels of adrenaline it's no longer used to.
wouldn't it be faster just to scroll past? I mean, I see fairly frequent posts in German, fewer from other languages, but they're a tiny fraction of the total, even so.
For mental health reasons, I had taken myself out of most political topics. But lately there seems to be a surge of talk about Palestine and Hamas (forgive me if I spelled this wrong). I do know it’s something to do with land rights, but it also seems to be so much more at the same time. I’m not trying to start any fights. I...
as you can probably tell from the comments thus far, this is a very contentious topic and without any background, you'll likely have difficulty picking out information from propaganda.
rather than muddy things further with my own several cents, you might need to decide whether it affects you enough to look into yourself. but be prepared for it to negatively affect your mental health. it certainly has mine.
It seems like it’d get increasingly impractical as the years go on to hundreds of thousands and millions of years to write them out that way, but then…I guess technically one may already do this with the preceding years, so future’s fair game for it?
I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?...
I'm from NZ. I was very surprised to learn that our gun laws were quite lax up until the relatively recent mosque shooting in Christchurch - the assault-style weapon the shooter used was quite legal, including the special modifications he had made to make it better for killing people.
in the wake of that tragedy, things have gotten a lot stricter, though I'm afraid I can't provide specifics - while I love guns, my collections are confined to the virtual, and I really have no interest in owning one IRL.
are we counting an infinite number of zeroes after the decimal point, as having infinite digits? because if you specifically exclude while numbers, your output would not be truly random, though it would be essentially impossible to distinguish it from true randomness.
When do you think violence is justified?
Self defense? Only on the battlefield? Only to achieve a ‘noble’ end?

Weeks? Months? Years? Any other interesting experiences?
