Very very very very wrong

It’s just a centipede. I’m pretty sure those live most places…

You don’t believe in the supernatural but people claiming it exists are not lying? These are contradictory ideas.

Ironically this is the inverse of op’s complaint

Yikes. Gonna hope this is satire. I was just making a joke, sort of, because tiktok is mindless scrolling where you can avoid anything PoLiTiCaL even though you’re literally a Chinese test subject giving data to an authoritarian government

Gonna guess you really like tiktok

Uh what? Never once saw anything like that on reddit

Cyberpunk 2077 runs faster on pop os on my Nvidia card compared to on windows 10

Plenty of people like Linux, the real echo chamber would be some place you don’t have to hear how much better alternatives there are to garbage-ass windows.

I had very similar results with pop os and windows 10 on an Nvidia card

I made a list of the Google services I needed to replace, replaced a couple of them, but ultimately that list had dozens of items on it and I’m too tired already to complete it

It is not easy. This comment must be satire?

For example have you tried navigating in a car with a navigation app besides Maps? I don’t have an iPhone and the ones I’ve tried so far suck. I mean, I think Waze isn’t even all that good and Google owns even them now.

It’s a great web browser and it represents the very concepts of choice and freedom. Chrome isn’t better at all, I really only used it because the extension availability felt higher for a while.

Same! I’m wondering though at this point how much longer? I understand it’s a big job but I’ve gotten really settled in with Connect at this point.

Same. I’m not ever hanging out there again. I’m only going to get specific info that a search engine leads me to

Gods*

Playing the victim is the right wingers favorite pastime. Crying that someone’s right to exist is a burden for you to hear about. Fuck on off back to 4chan or whatever

I am with you on a lot of this, but I will never and I mean ever understand the impulse that so many people have to say that online dating has made life worse. Dating is much better now because of online dating. Instead of constantly needing to be vigilant for an opportunity to find a mate and then pursuing them only to often be shut down or find out about a huge deal breaker on the second date, we can filter out a lot of those cases simply by reading a profile. Yes I’m aware people lie and hide things. But if they’re on a dating site they probably are looking for a relationship of some kind and if they wrote 3 or more sentences you probably can get a feel for what they generally value in life.

I also think it’s quite a stretch to try and say online dating = capitalism because “marketed as products” and “throw people away like trash”. It sounds like you were broken up with by one too many online dates?

Are you somehow intelligent enough to write all of this so thoughtfully, yet somehow unaware that relationships have ALWAYS been highly “transactional”? One of many aspects I could focus on to illustrate this is just the concept of marriage period. In many cultures, since thousands of years ago, you literally paid a family for a bride. It still continues today if I’m not mistaken, you just call it “paying a dowry” instead of buying a wife because it sounds better.

If we are talking about r/datingadvice I think there it’s a legit complaint to say that people seem to be more in the “throw that person away” camp but I don’t think there’s actually a shred of evidence that anything is new about this. We just now have a conduit for public opinions about dating to end up in our faces while we doomscroll.

I also blame capitalism for a lot, but I think it gets tricky to link capitalism to everything bad. I’d say it’s more like all these things are symptoms of a condition and all somewhat related. Greed is what a lot of this is, and yes capitalism is all wrapped up in that but I don’t think if you somehow took it away that every problem goes away.

Kd?

What would you change about it though?

Exactly my experience as well
