It’s a conversation no one is ready to have because of how much shame surrounds it.

Women do care about status, period. Maybe some men do too as well, but I personally don’t.

If you aren’t rich, attractive, young, assertive and confident or charming then your status is simply not as appealing to women. Period.

It goes both ways also, you always hear about how men expect women to be like they see “in porn” or whatever. No one talks about how women expect men to be like the love interest in hallmark movies or w.e kind of erotica women consume.

Fortunately I’m not in the dating scene rn but I bet you no one is happy with the arrangement and both men and women need to humble up.

It’s interesting but that doesn’t mean the online discussions are good, half the time it’s some random person’s bong hit shit post that you end up reading.

And even tech bros have terrible opinions. See: Peter Thiel.

The tech bros gas AI up for start ups and venture capitalist scams.

Even Dell doesn’t believe in AI capabilities as they’ve noticed consumers are not gravitating to AI features in a saying the quiet part loudly quote (https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/dell-admits-customers-disgusted-pcs-ai)

You cannot get a good honest AI take because propagators simply blindly trust llm output as if it came from God and anti-AI people conveniently ignore useful results like medical screening for cancer (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/jan/29/ai-use-in-breast-cancer-screening-cuts-rate-of-later-diagnosis-by-12-study-finds)

Me personally ? I don’t want to hear anyone’s AI take. I don’t use AI but in a future when I would end up using it is when it actually codes properly or does anything I want it to properly. No half assed features.

AI right now for my use cases is completely worthless. Maybe in 50 years that won’t be the case but I’m not very hopeful for its progress.

AI being conscious is all gas from tech bros.

I think the down voting is the weird defensive angle of “elon musk did it because he got physically intimated”

It’s because what you see on TV/media is bullshit and it 100% conditions your perception of societal norms.

An easy example is a TV show like friends where young people assume adults just get to hang out and meet their friends all the time.

Reality makes no sense and it doesn’t fit a “bucket”. Terrible people can work in altruistic roles. Idiots can work at what you’d think are smart office jobs.

why don’t they use the sleepy droozy faced pictures they have of him ?

eh at least you asks open ended questions and it drives up some activity around here

why does everyone use this picture of trump ? is it just blatant propaganda? same thing for elon musk

I hate seeing gender rage content, just today on Reddit one of the most upvoted posts was titled “men will eat all your food” (not verbatim) in which the poster said “if you pay for groceries evenly and share with a man you are subsidizing his calories (because they eat more)” also not verbatim

this is such a majorly fucked up view that I can’t even get started, my gf and I cook for each other and never once think about how the food is being split, we talk about what it tastes and how we can improve it and other dishes we can try

imo the majority of this content is some kind of psyop, I refuse to believe people are so bitter

I’ve seen some incredibly stupid takes on linked in about elementary CS knowledge like “use functions ! do you know what functions are?” so I’m not surprised looking at this image that

1. the poster clearly did not proof read it. maybe he doesn’t know how to read ?

2. the poster did not see that the examples are nonsense

change it just works to “m’lady”

me tolerating the most negative person I’ve met in an online gaming group because they’re friends with someone (and idek how)

yeah I needed to hear that

and later this month I’ll hear an American say “freedom fuck yeah murica” without any sense of irony

What convenience does a digital wallet add that a card cannot do ? isn’t a digital wallet way less safer given that mobile platforms are the least secure ?

But that’s not a skill though, you can say the greatest “asset” maybe

Is it really not possible to implement server anti cheat?

btw VAC does not count as it is not effective at preventing cheaters from cheating.

I use arch because in my experience noodling with debian/Ubuntu to get something to work is far more infuriating.

I have a very minimalist approach to how I install packages and typically don’t have any issues.

When I was googling around for why the electron application was no longer working I couldn’t drill it down to sdl compat because nothing hinted at sdl, it only mentioned OpenGL.

In fact I find it strange that an electron app would break over an sdl package, when others such as discord don’t.

it’s not the prompt that’s the issue, and yes I’ve seen it all the time

I’m not sure why but SDL wants to change to sdlcompat and this is a breaking change for another application I’m running and I don’t know why this package change is needed when I just keep hitting no each time and everything works as expected

and to be fair all be said was “language”, he didn’t know that the OP would be replying with the receipts that would get them rejected by NASA

As an enjoyer of fringe content it is pretty common lore that the Vatican is involved with UFOs

The testimony comes from a highly credentialed intelligence whistleblower that came to Congress to basically say “there’s a money black hole sucking up the defense budget and no one knows about it because it’s for black projects, and oh yeah UFOs”

Fun fact, in addition to that Pope Francis made a comment saying he’d baptize aliens:

“Who are we to close doors? In the early Church, even today, there is the ministry of the ostiary [usher]. And what did the ostiary do? He opened the door, received the people, allowed them to pass. But it was never the ministry of the closed door, never.”

and from Grusch’s claims (Wikipedia)

"documents reporting a spacecraft of alien origin had been recovered by Benito Mussolini’s government in 1933 and procured by the U.S. in 1944 or 1945 with the assistance of the Vatican and the Five Eyes alliance. "

But I don’t think there’s any actual trail for hinting a pope saw an UFO sadly
