And I thought balaclavas were more like babushkas, but it turns out I'm wrong on that and they're ski masks. Huh.
What I eventually found is that the Internet really isn't a great place to find people to hang with IRL for any purpose. People online tend to stay online, people irl tend to stay irl, and online when it comes to dating you've only got a couple very narrow avenues to get someone interested in you.
That often cited OKCupid data shows that women are only really interested in the top 1% of men online, so if you're not in that you're really putting in a lot of extra effort for what might not be a cost-effective method.
If you look at real-world women, often they have sex with the men around them. In some friend groups, everyone's at some point had sex with everyone else (probably not wife material, but that's not my point) but rarely from people outside their group. In my case, it became clear the smartest thing was to make friends, especially with women. Even non-sexual friendships because women know women, and women want their friends to be happy, and if they know two people who might hit it off, they'll act as a matchmaker which is thousands of times more likely to work out in good outcomes than to be a random face in a lineup.
I ended up meeting my wife through a woman who was my platonic friend.

Thing is, a lot of this stuff was obviously ridiculous 10 years ago, but the press didn't bring any of it up because Elon was their guy and EVs were their thing. How long until the journalists start talking about the problems with winter performance of Teslas?
I can't help but think it's actually because they're mad he bought their favorite pozzed social media website.
I know there was a lot of drama about this, but I can't think of anything I want to have to do with threads. Is there anyone on there worth paying attention to?
Toyota is talking about putting out a $10,000 pickup truck called the IMV0. It's just a basic work truck, no fancy stuff.
If this thing makes it to American markets at anything remotely like that price, that could be the end of the big 3. This is what we need, not a new 100,000 fancy pants car.

The people bitching about how their first of its kind specialized EV truck is going to cost money to buy and own are really in a strange place... I mean, the rest of us were warning about this the whole time but apparently they needed to hate Elon Musk before they were allowed to realize obvious things.
Look, we can't have the injuns getting all uppity and asking the federal government not to force them to take experimental drugs. That's a tramplin'.

I love seeing stuff that's actually entertaining being made haha

I can't help but feel like federated sites are as p2p as they want to be. There's lots of small instances.
Nobody told leftists that the hammer and sickle represent people working for a living (or that Lenin said "he who does not work shall not eat")
I could see that being a problem for any system that's trying to be universal.
Human beings tend to learn about and model the people around them so they can understand what to expect. If an AI model instead tries to build a generic model for interacting with a universalized average person representing "anyone" then I'd always expect it fail quite often and fall into an uncanny valley because there is no single way to participate in a group, because there are unlimited groups.
Honestly, it's kinda already happening.

The age that the average person has kids is indicative of the general quality of life in an era, and that's been the case throughout history. People waiting so long they're infertile from old age indicates that today life is particularly hard despite being better off in material terms than most other times in history thanks to the advance of technology.
If things were as good as the elites tell us they are, then it would be common to have 45 year old grandmothers, since 21 isn't really an unrealistic time to be married and pregnant if you're not terrified about whether you can feed another mouth and lose an earner in the household.

Imagine, there's women who are grandmothers at that age..... Great grandmothers if her family's story is particularly tragic.
