I've been buying mostly mostly from Bandcamp. It's worked out well. I have a big library, and the people making music got paid.

I did see a job post for a role that was just reviewing AI code. This is all terrible

Tell us more about your current usage. What are you doing and where is it failing?

Some of the other posts already hit the highlights. Have a variety of well lit photos. Your profile should be short, but with some unique-ish hooks for people to talk about (eg: "reading 'such and such' for my book club!" - several things for someone to ask about there).

When you do match with people, don't send generic messages. Don't just send "hey". Go read https://nohello.net/en/ for a post about that in other contexts.

After you've had one or two successful exchanges, clear any deal breakers you might have (eg: "really enjoying this conversation but wanted to make sure you saw on my profile I have a toddler. Are you okay with that?"). If that succeeds, ask them out.

Don't provide too many choices. People get overwhelmed easily. "I'd love to talk more about (whatever we we were talking about). Do you want to go on a date? I like (local bar), but (other bar) in your neighborhood looks fun, too!". Two choices. They'll probably pick one.

More specific advice may be available if you tell us more about your specific experience

Most things with conservatives are projection.

It seems like a lot of people here in the US are going to be going "you're being alarmist there's nothing wrong there's no reason to fight just like chill out", even when there are literal concentration camps. I don't know how to get through to some people.

“Poor people are bad with money. That’s why they are poor.”

I personally think a lot of rich people are bad with money. They're just shielded from consequences because if you blow $200,000 on an expensive watch, and you have another $3,000,000 in the bank, it's not going to ruin you. I've seen numerous examples of rich people just blowing money on bullshit. Meanwhile, poor people are like snipping coupons and making $1000 last a whole month.

I mean, there's always going to be scams. You probably want to address that with education more than expensive "you're not allowed to buy salsa with your government money" stuff.

Well, the lunch is being eaten either way. Personally I feel like "AI" stuff is not great for anybody except the people selling it (and even they are often losing money)

A couple CEOs have made statements about how they're not hiring anyone in favor of "AI". Somehow Saint Luigi hasn't visited any of them, but I think a couple had to reverse course after the "AI" was bad.

Labor should unite. We don't need infinite growth and profits. Dignity and a sustainable environment are more important

Conservatives are wrong about pretty much everything. I don't know of a single problem where they have a sensible policy. They're worse than toddlers.

I'm just waiting for someone to Mario Party their boss after a return to office mandate. It would be deserved.

I had a recruiter (in the US) message me about some jobs. They're all on-site 6 (six!) days a week. That should be a crime and everyone involved in that banished from the land. This wasn't climate change work or anything important. It was like ai fintech nonsense.

I think content-first social media like forums is far less bad than user-first like Twitter, Instagram, etc.

Interesting. Thanks for the link. I realize I didn't really define "smart", so I'm not sure education is a good proxy for it, but this does make my hypothesis look more doubtful

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

Currently, I'm polite to friendly with all of them. No outstanding conflicts. It's sometimes literal kitchen table poly with one, and the others I only see at like parties and such.

Some years ago I had two partners that absolutely did not get along with each other, and that was rough. Recently I was able to do a dinner with 3 partners and everyone had a good time.

I try not to make a big deal about folks meeting. I try to model after meeting your friend's friends.

 

For me there's a bit of a network effect where the polycule sprawls out into the distance. Partners have partners who have partners.

But for disconnected folks, it's mostly been tinder (yuck), and a local meetup.

(Also this might be the first post? That or nothing federated yet)

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
