Just a nerd who migrated from kbin(dot)social.
Understanding that I never progressed beyond the meaning of the original forum in terms of “involuntarily celibate”, my biggest advice would be to keep going. Keep doing the things that draw in the community and cause people to want to be around me.
I’d also give myself a few hundred massive warnings about the pandemic, and how not to judge my actions by those of others during a global crisis.
Sounds like he was trying to do a version of that experiment with the Russian foxes, where breeding the most social and obedient ones together actually did produce animals who were more inclined to be obedient and social with humans. The difference is that whatever humanity is, we’re some of the ones who were kicked out to become the control group while the pure strain is maintained in the garden. After all, there were other humans so that Cain could take a wife, so… there’s that. And we wrote it down, so we’re the winners compared to Neanderthal or Denisovan.
Have you ever read “Who Censored Roger Rabbit?”? It’s a very different work from the movie, but also gets into the dark cartoon tone. And I think it’s very well done.
Good. If we can’t get rid of the pot fully, then make it so users’ rights and privileges are curtailed. It shouldn’t be “regularly” use, either. It should be whether the person has ever used the drug or supports use of the drug.
We ought to stop funding South American countries then. Either start using the soy domestically, or start planing stuff that Americans eat. Maybe even focus on native plants that aren’t patented and owned.
F-droid and my (example) personal-site-turned-app-store rejoice!
Until Google kills them soon.
Lincoln didn’t really give a damn about the rights of black people. He cared about getting elected, and that was what he needed to say to get votes.
Right, Ghost in the Machine. I always forget it.
Two days.
Yes, and? It’s not like anyone anywhere near the right has made bones about being opposed to Mamdani.
And that’s why I don’t buy fresh produce.
Honestly, if the FCC and FTC weren’t controlled by corpocrats, Disney would have been broken up years ago.
So far in the Tron franchise, we have:
I actually enjoyed this movie. They needed to do marketing, but it came out and I only found out because I get emails from my local indie theater.
Honestly, can they just sell or license Tron to someone who cares about the franchise?
So do what my better half and i did - buy a ring from Etsy with a lab-grown stone.
So the new one’s name is Robin?
At least some of the hostages are still alive to be released.
Wait, you mean they don’t just ring a bell for the wounded? Seems like an easier plan than actually doing anything to prevent people getting injured. And it’s easier on your back and knees than kneeling to pray.
Nominally once a week at a scheduled meetup. I’m reality, about once or twice a month.
I mean, I don’t expect people to want to be around me, because by and large I don’t like being around them in non-structured environments. So boardgames and RPGs help. Hence, bring the community.
