Mushrooms can fuck you up:-).

So... kill them all, bc it's the only thing that's "fair"? πŸ˜‰

Depends on their PDef and Mdef I would guess... and probably Agl too. :-P

Ooh I've never heard of it. netcat I mean, cause I've heard of Linux πŸ˜†.

The File Transfer Protocol is just very antiquated, while scp is simple. Possibly netcat is too:-).

That comparison was apparently done previously.

The limited work on attachment and singlehood has produced inconsistent results (see Pepping et al., 2018 for a review) but suggests that single people are, on average, more insecure than those in relationships (Chopik et al., 2013).

Oh but I see what you mean - the "secure" sub-group(s) in this study would have strongly benefitted from that comparison yes. But it gets more complicated b/c the terms they chose to use aren't really the English-meaning of those words like "secure", but rather "low attachment-avoidance and low anxiety", hence insecure isn't a single category but three (anxious, avoidant, and fearful-avoidant).

Anyway the comparison to non-singleness could be a future follow-up study:-).

It's just waiting for an injury πŸ€•.

"Insecure" isn't quite the same as "unhappy", plus how many people in relationships are happy?

Also as it mentions, being with the wrong person is far worse than being alone.

Still, yeah that second sentence in the title is a bit disconnected from the first sentence, even if technically the truth.

Edit: this title is not the title of the article - interesting. That is just what was used here on Lemmy. The real title of the actual article is "Would you be happy as a long-term single? The answer may depend on your attachment style."

Someone interested in controlling others... a boss.

"At those rates, it'd be crazy not to!" - sorry, but I felt it needed to be said. :-(

I knew it all along!

I made a tangential point, where some people are okay with having less content as a result of being defederated even from as large and central an instance as Lemmy.World - i.e. it's not always the amount of content so much as its quality - to then apply that same principle to the Fediverse at large.

Tolerance of the intolerant is not okay. As you try to bring in more people, some people will balk at coming and others already here will leave, if the experience seems unwelcoming to them.

People need to feel safe in the space they are in, or else they will not enjoy talking. I guess it may sound counterintuitive, but being intolerant - but only of the intolerant!! - actually increases engagement and participation, not the other way around. imho.
