It’s a social media site, not a dating site so maybe it’s just what they say? Maybe they just want to meet other female friends? Have you never wanted to hang out with just your guy friends and do guy stuff before?
Maybe they’re just looking to make new friends and don’t want a bunch of thirsty guys hitting on them in their DMs?

Looking at the mod log it appears you were temporarily banned from the news community for repeatedly violating the community rules. It says the ban will be lifted in 1 day.

- Comment on Under Trump will anything happen to my brothers Social Security Disability? He is 42 and draws it for mental illness. 3 weeks ago:
The only people he cares about being popular with are extreme right wing fanatics and other billionaires who are propping him up. All of these people have a weird “survival of the fittest” fetish so they probably won’t be pushing to help anyone who actually needs it
- Comment on Under Trump will anything happen to my brothers Social Security Disability? He is 42 and draws it for mental illness. 3 weeks ago:
It’s sort of up in the air right now. He’s made a lot of promises to not cut social security benefits, but the tax cuts he wants to give the rich and his insane tarrifs plan both threaten to deplete funding for social security within a few years. Hopefully nothing bad will happen but benefits definitely aren’t going to get any better.
- Comment on If I go to Canada can I retire there and draw SS from the US? Also can I go to Canada buy a cabin or house with a plot of land and not work? Unless I just needed some walking around money? 3 weeks ago:
According to Google you can live in Canada and collect US social security benefits. You will probably have to pay taxes in both countries though, especially if you’re still working. To become a Canadian citizen you have to live there permanently and pay taxes for at least three years before you can even be considered for citizenship and even then it looks like there is a lot of other stuff you have to do
Keep in mind too that social security benefits aren’t that much. Unless you’ve already saved enough to pay off this “cabin or house” up front, then you’ll most likely be paying a mortgage, property taxes, you’ll need money for utilities and groceries, AND you’ll be paying taxes to both the US and Canada. Unless you’re already independently wealthy then you’ll probably have to get either a full time or part time job.
The only way I can see this working the way you’ve described is if you’re already of retirement age and can also collect a pension from a job you already have that could help supplement your social security benefits maybe

They probably weren’t in a huge hurry to be mods anywhere else after spending all those years working for free only to see all that hard work sold off to fill Steve Huffman’s pockets and their website destroyed by corporate greed.
I imagine a lot of them just decided to do something else after all that

- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 1 month ago:
If you’re basically living in one or two rooms in an otherwise unoccupied house then the space heater is probably better since you won’t have to deal with the thermostat being in another area.
If you’re going to need heat in different rooms all over the house then I’d say let the central heat do it’s job. You really don’t want to deal with running around opening and closing vents and having to warm up another room every time you need to go in there. It will be a pain in the ass and probably cost a lot more.

stealing memes
I keep seeing this come up in various forums lately, and I don’t get it… The whole point of memes is that they are heavily shares isn’t it? That’s part of the literal textbook definition of what a meme is lol
- Comment on what's stops one from scavenging the best parts of old phones and putting them into a new one? 1 month ago:
As long as you’re not selling the phone afterwards I’d say the only thing stopping you would be the skill and knowledge required to do such a thing and the necessary tools.
Keep in mind most of the parts you’re talking about are to some extent proprietary and specifically designed not to be cross compatible, so that may be a big hurdle

It’s supposed to be the Germans version of the “funniest joke in the world” from the Monty Python sketch they were talking about in the previous comment. I’m pretty sure they made it nonsensical because they never actually say what the English version of the joke is lol almost all of them were fluent in German

- Comment on What character that was meant to be portrayed as "cool" by the actor came across as the exact opposite? 2 months ago:
Jim Carrey in “The Number 23”. It was a rare serious role for him where he was supposed to be this sort of noir edgy tough guy. The more serious he got the more comical the whole thing seemed lol
- Comment on Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions) 2 months ago:
Is this still a thing that people get upset about though? Personally I think a man sitting down just to pee is kind of silly, but I certainly wouldn’t make fun or get upset about it. I think the last time I heard someone make a joke about men sitting to pee was like 15 years ago lol

Get some big shipping envelopes, fill each one with as much junk mail as it will hold, mail them back to whichever companies send you the most junk mail. It works even better if any of the junk mail came with a prepaid return envelope.

I watched all of them and it did get somewhat better here and there. The high points were just good enough that I still wanted to see what happened but there was just so much pointless junk that even the big cliffhanger ending didn’t really thrill me… I’d honestly be fine if they just told me how the story ends in an email or something lol

I suspect I know the entire reason this “article” was written, and it’s that the people who love every Disney property are still trying to make up literally any reason why Acolyte was cancelled other than the fact that it was just a jumbled mess of a show.
I love Star Wars, I watched every episode of The Acolyte. It was ok at best. It was somewhat enjoyable but had so many issues with the writing that I wasn’t that surprised when it got cancelled.
