Short answer: pay them. These apps have made themselves the barrier to human interaction and will put you in front of more people if you pay them. If you’re online dating then you’re playing a numbers game and the best way to win a numbers game is playing as much as possible

Age quod agis

The reason why I assume a certain number of lemmy users can name every element of the periodic table

Probably Newton and Tesla. Both seemed to not really understand other people and were more focused on their specific hobbies

Ted Lasso is feel good TV about a guy who takes his traditional skill set outside of his country to a different career (football coach to soccer coach) and different culture. It has a focus on being kind and embracing other cultures. Obviously OP is implying a cultural dissonance with this being popular given the American political landscape

So you’re saying I should view the speed of sound in a medium like the speed of light in a vacuum? That it’s the “speed-limit” of how a wave propagates and so trying to exceed it is impossible for a physical wave?

In Horizon Forbidden West

As I live in the south I hear my “how are you all doing” morphing into “howya’lldoin” and there’s nothing I can do to stop it

I’m so sorry to be the one to tell you this but 30 years ago was the mid 90s, not the 70s-80s

Honestly John Wick is pretty tame compared to Neo. When you don’t have to be concerned with physics you can make guns do a lot

Arguably Keanu Reeves, between the time machine and being able to manipulate reality it’d be hard to stop him

Do incels have some core complaints with validity? Yeah, online dating has been designed specifically to make the majority of people using it feel bad. There are genuine problems that men face in society that women don’t and they don’t get support for. However you can’t pick and choose the members of your ideology, only your choice to share it with them

The ultimate problem is that red/blue/black pill ideology is all rooted in the manosphere and incel culture. By utilizing their terminology you are associating yourself with a group of misogynists, racists, and terrorists

Which is to say someone who says “my MS makes my life difficult enough as is, so I choose not to struggle with dating on top of it” is different from “I’ve been blackpilled because these Stacys won’t consider dating below 8.5/10s”

There’re other points to be made with regards to being “too ugly to date”, why people dislike non-traditional sexualities, and modern dating culture. However, I’d bet if you went into the real world and talked to real people about specific struggles leading to deciding to no longer date without a bunch of internet words you would see a lot more support

Just started with YAMS using Plex 2 months ago:

Movies: 241 TV Shows: 30

About 3.5 TB on an 8 TB drive

I bring my water bottle to theaters and nobody gives a flying fuck. 98% of the time it is water but every now and then I do bring an alcoholic beverage and nobody ever bothers checking to make sure it’s only water

No, it’s basically the same thing as Carl Sagan’s cosmic calendar

Probably toggleable statistics. So I could choose to see information about people above their heads. Mood, age, name, net worth, and stuff like that. It’d be something I could turn on/off and choose what’s stats I want to see at any given time

I usually look for a recent episode with someone I like or a topic I think is interesting

You may be interested in The Man in the High Castle it’s both a novel by Phillip K. Dick and TV show on Amazon Prime that explores exactly that premise

You could buy a top tier modern deck, a couple of competitive standard decks, or a bunch of pretty good commander decks in Magic:the Gathering

Some more physics things, every planet has a limit on how high the tallest possible mountain is based off their surface gravity, the type of rocks present in the crust, and thickness of the crust. On Earth it turns out that limit is pretty close to Mt Everest’s height. Space is still about 50 miles above Everest so I don’t think humans could build this ramp with our current understanding of physics

If you want to go to space slowly then you can just do what Felix Baumgartner did and take a special type of balloon to get into space. Unfortunately, if you’re not traveling 25,000 mph relative to the surface of the planet, you’re going to fall back to the planet. Just like Felix did
