hookups/lewd meta (continued) 

How did this turn from "me trying to find a date" into "meta-analysis of dating platform that is a decade beyond its prime"

hookups/lewd meta (continued) 

I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't "people go wild for the idea of sleep sex and absolutely nothing else"

Show thread

I just talked to a computer far away without using a computer in front of me. I did it to accurately check what time it is.

Honestly what I hate most about the "our platform is better in the app uwu" shit is how condescending it is, as if anyone actually believes that they're forced to cut shit out of the web version because "sowwy we need access to all your data to be able to show you comments :(" 💀

At least be honest about it and say "yeah this is a limited version cause it makes us less money", worst case scenario it comes off as the same amount of annoying

hookups/lewd meta, half shitposting by this point 

Results of my A/B testing thus far: I am starting to understand why porn videos always use these corny plots, and also apparently nobody has a place to themselves anymore??

Due to circumstances beyond my control, today is Monday.

When a leftist has a privilege, they should see it as an obligation to wield it for the benefit of those who don't have it.

I think liberals sometimes ignore leftists because everyone has had someone criticize them for being insensitive- or problematic and that’s always an unpleasant experience especially if they have a point. “you really shouldn’t use the word ‘idiot’ it has a long ableist history” this is true… and I’m working on it. But my initial reaction to being corrected is never graceful. No way! I want to find a reason why I did nothing wrong— or if I was wrong? It wasn’t serious. 1/

And also, if you cannot even take the time to read and answer a simple question, what makes you think I'm going to meet up with you? Like, come on

lewd picture, (almost) nude teasing 

If you saw me like this and you could do anything, what would you do?

lewd-adjacent, complaining 

Okay what the hell happened to hookup chats, why do I need to practically A/B-test my profile text to get anyone to read more than three words?

nl politiek 

Aha, dus dit is een van de bedrijfjes die zich bezighouden met "oud-politici als commercieel lobbyist in de markt zetten": loopbaannapolitiek.nl/

Opgericht door ene Willem Ginjaar, die betrokken is (was?) bij een van de VVD afgesplitste partij (uiteraard...) in Zeeland. Geven ook graag aspergediners cadeau aan politici, blijkbaar.

Type of ADHD brain mode where brain is constantly oscillating between two different tasks at high speed, being interested in both but not *quite* interested enough to make any serious headway or commit to either of them

matrix moderation 

I feel like moderation for Matrix would be in a much better place if there were a bot framework specifically for moderation tasks, with a very simple API and one-call methods for all common moderation actions, so that you can actually quickly respond to developing attack strategies

Some years ago, I got the impression that a certain team in a very well known European university was multiplying papers unnecessarily.

Basically, the same idea was spread across several papers, and some obfuscation was used to make the ideas seem more complex than they were.

A senior colleague got this answer from one of the students: "that's what our advisor asks us to do".

Tell me the bubble is bursting without telling me it's bursting

A lesson I wish I could put on a thumb drive for most humans:

When you're seeking community, shared identifiers and interests will never yield the same results that shared values and praxis does.

Someone being queer, or liking the things you like does not guarantee that they will value you adequately or treat you well.
