  Yeah this is hella sketchy. It’s MAYBE one step above saying “chat gpt, show me what this agents face looks like” and then using that to try and find a match.

  My friend group was always on the nerdier side in high school. One thing I’m really glad we did come senior year was we’d play poker, and the loser, if single, would be have to go and cold call ask a random gal out on a date.

  It’s liberating to know that, as long as you’re not being a creep, you can just talk to someone you think is cute and ask them out. It was especially nice to know back in the high school days lol.

  Also, when people say meet others at college they don’t mean in the classes. They mean in the social events…

  Also, dont overlook the value of healthy habits.

  I’ve seen younger siblings who subsisted on coke and PB&j in their retirement pass before their older ones.

  That certainly is a good chunk of time, but 5 weeks minimum is stellar!

  Cheers!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon saves up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s marvelous.

  Is “very” long on the scale of like a decade or multiple decades?

  Are y’all getting 5 weeks of vacation a year? My American mind cannot comprehend this.

  I also fully recognize that I have a fairly generous employer. I don’t think my experience is representative of most Americans.

  Genuine ignorance and curiosity - do y’all only do days? If you have to take half a day off, do you round up or down?

  A fascinating theory I read is that MAGA is making a big deal out of Epstein because it provides an off-ramp that lets them save face.

  Legit I’m like "bruh, you’re surprised that you’re billionaire ‘grab em by the pussy’, ‘accidentally’ walking into the miss teen usa, ‘I’d fuck my daughter if she wasn’t my daughter’ president is on a list of billionaire sexual predators? I’m glad that something finally looks like it might stick to him but c’mon guys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let delivery drivers keep their⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for taking the time to walk through your thoughts - I appreciate the conversation.

  I think the particularly egregious problem with interpreting the comment as referring to the association of man=top=dom is that the meme has a gal as the dom, as you’ve pointed out, which does go against heteronormativity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let delivery drivers keep their⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand heteronormative to be about social norms centered around heterosexuality, and how that is the dominant cultural factor.

  With that understanding, viewing things through a heteronormative lens is to exclude the views of non-heterosexual folks.

  Then “heteronormative bullshit” is comparable to “heterosexual bullshit”.

  I might’ve missed some nuance - this is not my forte. However my naive understanding is that saying this was commentary on “cultural norms” is similar to saying to civil war was about “states rights”. States rights to do what? (Slavery) Cultural norms centered around what? (Heterosexuality)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let delivery drivers keep their⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “heteronormative” doesn’t mean “it’s the fault of straight people” are you serious

  But does “heteronormative bullshit” imply that?

  What if they’d said “I’m tired of this homosexual bullshit that glitter goes everywhere?”

  That definitely reads as “I believe it’s the fault of the queer people” to me, do you believe otherwise?

  I just want to make sure you notice it says “encrypted messaging” meaning matrix as a service, as opposed to “encrypted messages”, meaning selling your messages.

  Eh, idk about being sought, but the dating experience did fundamentally change after I felt confident enough to be more worried about what a potential match brought to the table than whether or not I’d get a date. The pool of applicants wasn’t big, but I was happier being solo than with the wrong person.

  For the record, I didn’t down vote you.
