I think you hate me way too much for nothing, and you don't know me.

If this is how you engage in dialog with someone you don't know at all you will never build a better world like you claim to want.

It sounds like you have been deeply hurt and I am sorry that happened. I am not the guy who did that to you or someone you care about.

There are good men out there who would die to protect their children from other harms, are not predators and move society forward with a healthy contribution. I am one of those, not the other kind.

In terms of building a better world, that sounds amazing. Until that job is done, it definitely falls to me at a minimum to keep my family safe, because for now the world still has real dangers and predators that can hurt them.

I would bet money he still supports Trump, there's no limit to the doubling down.

But I am different to a woman, specifically if there's a violent threat or harm to the family.

I will step in first to handle it, I'm more suited to it. I won't be able to do it the other way around where I take the kids and run while the wife deals with whatever the threat is.

Or a simpler example, if I get attacked, I do not want the wife to step in. However, if she is attacked, I will step in.

Unless we're limiting the discussion to exclude those situations?

US citizens need to be very careful about their next steps.

If you do this wrong you will hand Trump all the reasons / excuses he needs to enact martial law (and have support for that) and then say bye bye to term limit. You need to think about the next 20 years, about a Trump dynasty etc.

Going to try out some kayaking for the first time, should be interesting.

Need to work out an optimal exercise schedule, I'm winging it currently and that's not great.

Why do you people think talking will help? You are so far past the point of honest discussion it's mind-blowing.

THERE IS NO EUREKA MOMENT COMING FROM RHETORIC.

Why would there have to be a point? It's possible there is no architect and thus no point. It could all be random chaos colliding into this weird situation, and we're just particles floating along in the maelstrom.

To come the question of why should you care, well you can choose pleasures or pain in your time on this planet. Pain is the default if you make no choice.

Fully support any actions we can take that reduces traffic and / or revenue to X.

AI written slop, in some places the wording reeks of it.

Dating in the modern world (self.casualconversation)
submitted 6 months ago by Modva to c/[email protected]
 

People keep telling me that dating today is a war zone, facing all kinds of challenges.

Dating apps don't seem to be directly trying to help solve the problem as much as generate revenue. In fact, they are very directly motivated to not make great long term matches.

Some people seem think that just getting out there and hoping for the best is the answer. Maybe that's true, but it's still very random. I was wondering about a hypothetical alternative:

What if you could go to an agency of some kind get rated through a thorough evaluation process? Would that be helpful ? It's not perfect, and many things are hard to measure. But maybe it's a less random starting point and can escape the exclusively money driven approach of dating apps.
