I'll try and minimize personal info in this post so that it's harder to dox me. I am a cishet white man without any romantic experience who is interested in trying online dating. I know that resources about doing this exist, but I don't know how to find them without getting PUA or other harmful advice mixed in.

What do I need to know/do/have before I try this?

Which apps should I use?

Are there guides that give relatively simple information on how to avoid harmful situations with online and not online dating?

Thanks for the advice

Hell yeah! Covid time baby! First time (I know of) getting it, tragic that my mask helps other people more than it helps me! Does anyone have the up to date post about what to do if you get covid? I saw the post from ReadFanon here https://hexbear.net/comment/5684032 and was wondering if anyone had up to date guidance. Thanks!

Why did the soviets add an extra S to their name? I don't think Maoist standard English had been invented yet, why didn't they just go with "United States of Russia"?

I think some of the disagreement about moderation of Luigi's Mansion comes from people missing the boat on his actual politics. He was not just a wacky musk stan, here is one of the guys I saw listed in connection with him: https://substack.com/@picopaco/notes note the hits such as "Racial Group Differences are primarily genetic in origin" and "The Great Palestine Lie". I saw a few other nazi adjacent people on his substack and twitter, but I cant find it anymore, same goes for the thing where luigi actually follows this guy. If anyone has the actual post, I would appreciate a link to it!

I would be more sympathetic to trying to claim him if he was just talking about how AI is going to do whatever stuff tech bros are talking about now, and I would assume most people trying to claim him are thinking he was in this group.
