I mean I am at least normatively a guy and I would have to consider a relationship with an alien. Could definitely be interesting. Humans are very flawed creatures and are frequently disappointing.

You know I am honestly not so sure. I have seen people who definitely aren't healthy, and probably not emotionally secure who get and sometimes keep relationships. It's a lot more complex than you think. Some part of this is because obviously people with similar issues want to be together, but I think as well that things like physical attractiveness do have a role. It's also the case that being a nice person and being emotionally stable aren't actually the same thing, and often don't go together. In fact to me it seems like people who have issues are actually less judgemental. Some of the worst people are those who have never struggled with anything.
It's like how people have this concept that they either are or aren't worthy of love. I don't think that's even a valid idea to begin with as there is no universal standard for what people want in a partner. Someone either wants you or they don't, worthiness just isn't a large factor.

If right wing (or even other leftist groups) came into an explicitly tankie community and started arguing with people how would you react?
Also do you actually know what tankies are? They aren't the majority in any country I know of. Non-tankie doesn't even mean right wing. Anarchists are further left than tankies.
Is this a joke?
Yeah this happened to me too. I guess I made bad choices.
I don't think partisan is even the right word here as many Lemmy users are too far left for mainstream political parties. In fact I am further left than most any mainstream party, but am still considered a capitalist shill by people here.
I don't think anti-tankies can be blamed when said tankies regularly engage in brigading of other instances. Like is everyone actually behaved this wouldn't have been an issue.
Terminal velocity depends on the drag profile and weight of an object. So it actually depends what shape the vehicle is and it's mass.
I've tried making this argument before and people never seem to agree. I think Google claims their Kubernetes is actually more secure than traditional VMs, but how true that really is I have no idea. Unfortunately though there are already things we depend upon for security that are probably less secure than most container platforms, like ordinary unix permissions or technologies like AppArmour and SELinux.
Crypto is actually really useful for buying drugs and other illegal products and services. People have legitimately made a lot of money as well if they weren't falling for the stupid scams. You should see the price of BitCoin or Ethereum these days.
Not saying it's ethical to run a lot of these given their limited usefulness and very high costs. But saying they didn't make people money, were all scams, or didn't have a use is objectively wrong.

I really am not sure that's true. I think that has more to do with socialization than one actually being more competitive. I am supposedly a guy and I rarely feel that competitive over stuff like gaming, and that's despite having anger issues for a good portion of my life.
As someone else said misogyny tends to push women away from these communities as well.
