Lmao sure, or you are full of the same trite bad advice as everyone else and I just nailed whatever you would have said, forgive me for being snarky after hearing the same bad advice over and over and over and over from people who lost touch somewhere around 1987.
on the off chance I find true love
If you're only focused on snatching pussy
Oh right I forgot men can only want pussy and real emotional connections are for girls my mistake didn't mean to be gay or whatever. (Can you feel the sarcasm without a /s or is that really necessary?)
My dude I get "pussy." Finding sex isn't the problem, if I didn't have FWB frankly I could pay for it if I had to, "pussy" is easy. Meanwhile I've only had one true emotional connection that could be called "in love" in my entire life (and a couple that I thought I loved but realized I was just chasing the feelings of the first one and lying to myself, which I no longer do thankfully, but) that's the elusive thing I can't find anymore. Actually my problem with the apps and bars is that they're more conducive to hook-up culture than finding actual love (it's not impossible but harder), so like, fuck off with that shit or whatever.
And as to the rest: great, I will and I do. Still not supposed to meet women that way, so your suggestion is then "make friends and beg them to hook you up with their sister" which isn't really so much of a strategy. I get it, "give up," that isn't actually helpful for finding anyone it's helpful for not caring that you're going to likely die alone with your cats. I'm already there, but it'd still be nice if I magically found a loving relationship through idk osmosis or maybe a genie I guess because "give up," so I'm not trying, so magic is the only way.
(Different guy, and never been on the apps and refuse to start, but)
Where?
"Meet them at the Grocery store"
Alright Gramps it's not 1964 anymore.
"Go to the gym"
Meanwhile women complain about being asked out at the gym, there was a thread on lemmy alone about it like last week.
"Get a hobby"
Women: "I just want to do a hobby without being asked out all the time!"
(Meanwhile my hobby: Nature photography with a lil bit of weed smokin', nobody wants to meet me in the woods except for other stoner men, women would literally rather I be a bear.)
"Go to the bar"
Alright Richie Rich. I don't drink that often and when I do I'm not paying $15 a drink for the same whiskey out of a $35 bottle. Granted this is the one place still acceptible, guess I have to delve into full blown alcoholism and go to the bar nightly on the off chance I find true love, hooray.
All the little islands that people drive to in their cars are off limits for interaction further than absolute surface level these days, at least in the US, apparently it's less bad elsewhere from what I'm told.
No, you are the one ascribing the reason without any evidence to support it, of course the article doesn't back up your delusions, but that is the point, the article does not back up your delusions.
Ohh you don't know poor people? I know more than one person without internet at home that just torrents at a friend's house, I'm one of them. Honestly I prefer it this way.
Then maybe just buy a Mac and get 99% of the benefits of a *nix system without needing the appropriate knowledge.
Yup, no poor people, got it. Linux is free using your existing hardware, Mac not so much. Moreover they're not much better than windows when it comes to privacy and control over your own hardware. Not really sure what benefits you're talking about because it sure as shit ain't those, unix based file system maybe, woohoo.
Meanwhile I've been using linux for about 7yr without needing to know that garbage because "stick go into hole" works just fine for everyone but you.
He would prefer you sending him a simple WhatsApp message with your pictures instead of having to mess with a thumb drive.
He also cares about privacy actually, so no whatsapp. Delta Chat, but then Image Compression.
No. I need my hourly incremental backup of my entire drive to be fast.
You don't keep a spare spare spare of your most important files? Do you even offsite backup? Up your paranoia game my guy, skill issue.
If your argument hinges on "intelligent design is real and The Creator™ made men hate tattoos" you need to prove the first part before the second can be "true." If intelligent design is not real then no creator made men hate tattoos, simple as.
I don't have internet spawning from my ass, so it works better in non-connected environments.
More importantly I have no fucking clue what any of that means, but I can plug rectangle into rectangle hole. And absolutely 0 "how to install linux" tuts come with your set-up, so I'm gonna guess most new people don't know how to either. "Do network magic because some dickhead wants to remove all ports" isn't going to be a selling point for them.
Can I SCP my dad the pictures of my vacation from 3 states away? Maybe. Would he prefer I mail him a "zip drive?" Yes. Not everyone on earth is a 1337 H4x0r like yourself there zero cool.
You really need your monthly 3rd redundant backup of your .kdbx file to be lightning fast? I can wait the .03 seconds it takes to transfer I'm not in as much of a hurry as you.
Me. Linux distros (either install media or straight live boot disks like Tails), moving files larger than like fucking 2gb without relying on spyware or self hosting a cloud service, redundant backups of your most important files, rescue disks, and MORE! Only $16.99 for a limited time while supplies last see comment for details.
Furthermore I shouldn't have to get rid of an old A device that still works just because they remove the ports. I don't care how old it is let me use my external CD drive with the USB-A to Mini-USB (yes mini lmao.) Wish I still had an attached optical disk drive tbh.
Yeah, now they can shave, but for most of human history that wasn't the case (unless you think we're 2000 yr old and Adam and Eve is literal not apocryphal, the human race is much older than recorded history, which is much older than 2000yr, unless you're one of those "The Devil put dinosaur bones there to fool us" types). If what you say is true we never would have gotten to even develop fire before we died because nobody was shaving so nobody wanted to fuck.
Evidence for a creator is not off topic, it's the entire crux of your argument. Your argument is literally "god told me to." If god is then not real and instead all of science is correct with the theory of evolution, then your entire argument is also not real. That's kinda the problem with hanging your insane theories on an unprovable creator, technically you can never be "disproven" as you can keep saying "god told me" while ignoring anything inconvenient as you do, but anyone who isn't dumb enough to already fall for that won't ever be convinced.
But this is already settled, I told you I talked to my god and he said yours is a liar. I will accept no further debate on this topic because my god is infallible and you can't prove otherwise.
But can it be social if there's no other people? Can one "socialize" with AI?
That little snaggle tooth, give him a treat for me!
