  • Don't wait for the proposition before replying to the first bit. It's extra-embarassing to get to shoot your shot after broaching the subject only to be shut-down.

    Girls are even worse about this, and they'll still ask you out and call you moron/must-be-gay-for-being-uninterested even if you reply to that first bit with "well, I like this other girl..." or "I tried that with ..."

    Oh, and a girl you like but had no clue liked you also running from the classroom crying when she hears you asked another girl out is just ... absolute joy /s, let me tell you.

    EDIT: "girls" was intentional; This would rank highly among behaviors that I personally draw the lines between girls/women and boys/men. In school, I worried about myself, because I never liked the more extreme/immature "girly" behaviors like so. Can't say it was a negative to end-up fixated on 25+, or at least mature-acting, women early-on though.

  • What's sad is, this is as-close as it gets to gay flirting in public in a lot of the rural US. You're actually a hot-commodity if you're out-and-proud enough to clap-back with a proposition ... just gotta play-it extra-safe re:meetups.

  • Why did you move from Windows to Linux?

    Jump

  • When I started on windows, and even with the textual pseudo-GUI's of DOS, once you got it working you could customize the hell out of everything(or it didn't pretend otherwise), and it would just continue to work until something physically broke or I broke somethin; with a tweak I would generally just undo and get back to it.

    Windows is nothing like that now. My phone is more customizable, smooth, enjoyable and stable than Windows(OOBE, anyways). Its arguably better at things like, idk, working with scanners, which Windows insists are dark magic only the manufacturers can help you with(TWAIN was literally cleaner, and still is, when you can lift the hood to find it); I'm not saying its all-that-weird to need a driver - what's weird is refusing to look for an entire device-category until a third-party app tells you how, when EVERYTHING ELSE is basically plug-and-play, including the printing functions of networked copiers or fax machines.

    Rant from this-specific-day's bullshit at work aside, my first experiences were with an Amiga and some Apple ii's, OS2Warp was an experience that barely struck me as much-different than what I was used-to, and I've messed-around with Macs as much as much as anyone.

    What's weird isn't moving away from Windows, basically the most overtly Black Mirror-esque OS of what's out there today. What's weird is how hung-up people are on it.

    Every brain-controlling or addicting substance or species on Futurama has more to offer; Windows, like facebook, is trying to be the ads injected-into dreams. Who the hell wants that?

  • Also possibly affects what blood-types they can transfuse. There are also more scrutinized supplies they use for babies and pregnant women.

  • Is there a translation of the bible that is accurate?

    Jump

  • I'm a big fan of the poly-glot or diaglot versions. For whatever reason, what popularity they had faded quickly in the '90s, as in, one week I'm introduced to the concept by several people in my Congregation, even lent a copy, and the next I'm getting pushback against the idea of ordering my own; "they've just announced they aren't publishing that any more, so why should you need one?"

    In the one I've seen, IIRC, each original word, in the orignal language/script on one column, gets a list of possible translations in brackets, or footnotes with historical definitions, if there's any ambiguity to be had.

  • Are you actually asking? No, its not copy-pasta. I could write a book instead if you like, but is your "holy fuck"more specific than that?

    I will say, the part in parenthesis I added after most or all of the up-votes it got, but it is something that happened. The practice she was ranting about in particular is where some yogi/"holy men" would piss fire. She hated that Dhalsim was one of my favorite SSF2 fighters, nevermind that she would have jumped at any excuse to get that game away from me.

  • Enemies are unavoidable. The bi-directionality of such sentiments is optional, and often a waste of time and effort to keep track of. That's why we stay strapped.

  • Four arrested after Tower of London display case containing State Crown defaced

    Jump

  • The crown was made in 1937, and of such historical significance that vandalizing it's display case requires the arrest of four people and secret prosecution. Yeah, okay, sure.

  • So um ... he missed the crucial step of wearing pants. Being pent-up from not even masturbating over whatever time-period explains ... that ... for him, wasn't a good idea either.

    I will say, health education needs to teach everyone the concept of kegels, likely even seprately from sex-ed.

    I don't recal how-exactly I ended-up expirimenting with tantric orgasm(chill, I almost certainly read about it first, maybe after hearing my mom rant about "unholy" yoga practices)almost the moment puberty hit, and I'm not exactly the picture of mental health nor particularly suave, but I've also never ended up having basically a seizure while standing, or otherwise outed myself over (clothed)pre-mature ejaculation, if I even noticed it happening.

  • I didn't say anything about labelling, but facebook does have it in place. Its not just that they can't reply back; They can't even see their own comment or the OP any-more, let alone your reply.

    EDIH: I agree with you that labelling is best and getting notified about something you can't reply to is stupid, but beyond that, I'm in favor of thinking of communities more as private spaces. Whether its right or not, mods, admins, blog authors or peertube videographers can treat those threads as if our comments are un-wanted trespassers and they have no obligation to explain their reasoning.

    There's no point in getting worked-up about it. 99 times in a hundred, its not hard to anticipate how what we want to say will be recieved in a given space.

    We aren't prisoners, so we are also free to choose to take our comments elsewhere, or start our own instances or communities to host them. That said, if you anticipate moderating the replies to what you have to say to be too much work, well, that's often how the mods in other places are looking at it.

    Its often not just "letting you say what you want", but also, likely putting more effort into moderating the replies on your comment than yourself will have to. Work and effort you mostly won't see or acknowlege.

  • Porsche Is Adding Fake Gear Shifts to Its EVs, 2027 Taycan Will Be First: Exclusive

    Jump

  • Almost all EV's skip-out on the transmission or gearing part entirely. They aren't even adding one here, just simulating it with software. Some won't even have differentials. Safety issue though? I doubt it.

  • Porsche Is Adding Fake Gear Shifts to Its EVs, 2027 Taycan Will Be First: Exclusive

    Jump

  • I absolutely hate that my CVT vehicle has a 1-2-D-N-R shifter with "Overdrive Button" because Nissan thought faux gearing would sell better. It randomly decides I must secretly rather hit 4000rpm+ than continue accelerating at a vaguely reasonable pace, and I say randomly because there is no discernable consistency re: pedal position, etc. The worst regular automatic I ever used was more consistent.

    To be clear, I find anything over 3000rpm unnecessary and annoying. At least in this vehicle, most of the time I can still accelerate faster than most other drivers without hitting that. Its like its trying to shame me for getting to the speed-limit quickly so I can settle-in to cruising without a truck up my ass.... for a few precious seconds anyways.

  • RE: your question about the deletion of a thread you put to me on a post you've since deleted or had taken down by mods or whatever:

    RE: your question about deleting a thread.

    I can't even see that thread, and as that was done by someone who has an account capable of making that thread-removal happen, likely as a mod or admin, I'mma say its their perogative.

    My facebook wall and posts are mine - there's plenty of shit comments I've had to delete for various reasons, and if you have a problem with it, I would suggest not using facebook. Same goes for comments on Youtube vids. I'm unaware of any reason Mastodon should, or you would expect them to, handle comments on blog-posts or whatever any differently.

    Ownership and curration of one's space and blocking are inherrent in the idea of voluntary federation/de-federation. I can't delete replies to my posts on Lemmy in general, but that's because they aren't made to a community that I own or moderate, or the same for an instance with admins.
