Blackout tent so you can sleep late.

Right on!

A gullibility filter

I had a girlfriend who said she could achieve dozens in a few hours of saturday porn watching. I never witnessed it though.

How to Catch a Predator is exactly the opposite - shadowy online interactions where you don’t know what’s really going on.

When an obviously fully adult woman in her cutest yoga pants asks you, an obviously fully adult man, about meat - everyone is 100% aware of the situation.

Now’s the time to turn that around and reinvigorate IRL “chance encounters”.

Paywalled.

Why does any journalist report this nonsense?

“take a look” is Trump’s cowardice/ignorance catchphrase, it means nothing other than “I am too weak to say yes or no”.

I ended up marrying a girl 17 years younger than me 🤷‍♂️

well, no shit, put on something cute and go poke around the meat department exuding cluelessness at a fancy grocery store in the nice part of town. Find some strapping adult man to “ask” if he knows the difference between skirt and brisket.

Wherever you go, make sure you spam 15 or 20 articles a day like you get paid to do it so readers block you!

Lemmy.ml seems to have a clone of most of the “top reddits”, somehow the most subscribed communities out there, and all dominated by one or two posters who post pro-China/pro-DPRK/anti-Western content all day long.

It definitely is going to confuse newcomers and make a bad first impression. I wonder if they auto subscribe people to those so their propaganda ends up at the top of the communities list.

Part of the solution is to better inform new users the part of the community name is the host, just like Main St in one city is different from Main St in another city. You choose the city you want to live in first.

But, it may also be interesting to have the ability for admins to selectively merge like-named communities with other agreeable instance admins, and count subscribers to both as one group.

and don’t ever pull the mask off by reading the descriptor and meta object protocol.

in Scala, everything is an expression, including “if”, maybe kotlin is the same?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawala

Hawala or hewala (Arabic: حِوالة ḥawāla, meaning transfer or sometimes trust), originating in India as havala (Hindi: हवाला), also known as havaleh in Persian,[1] and xawala or xawilaad[2] in Somali, is a popular and informal value transfer system based on the performance and honour of a huge network of money brokers (known as hawaladars). They operate outside of, or parallel to, traditional banking, financial channels and remittancesystems. The system requires a minimum of two hawaladars that take care of the “transaction” without the movement of cash or telegraphic transfer. While hawaladars are spread throughout the world, they are primarily located in the Middle East, North Africa, the Horn of Africa and the Indian subcontinent. Hawala follows Islamic traditions, but its use is not limited to Muslims.[3]

The problem is that their (potential) voters are not the kind of people that fall in line or heed authority, and whos standards are based on ideals.

This is also fertile ground for division / discouragement psyops poking the “they don’t meet your standards” button.

soon there will be more restrictions on looking at a picture of a naked girl, then on buying a semi automatic Antipersonnel rifle

sorry bro, you will have to either buy new one or buy connectors and attach them on the cable.

also, if the braided coax shield was inside of the knurled sleeve on the tail of the connector, then these were assembled completely wrong. Don’t buy from that vendor again.

Evaporative cooling.

When it gets hot and humid enough for that to stop working well (which we’re ratcheting toward in more places), animals and people will die.

There’s a reason Death Valley is named that.
