Yes. All I've learned from all this middle east stuff is that unless anyone is personally involved due to blood ties nobody makes a convincing argument to win over outsiders to their side. Pretty sure many people have constantly flip flopped going what the fuck and then saying they support X then another what the fuck happens and they flip.

Just stay out of it. Not like we are personally going to arm ourselves and shed blood for the cause. All I've learned is that all these arguments are nothing but a bunch of keyboard warriors advocating for a conflict they have absolutely no clue about, and people just flip flopping back and forth and end up not understanding anymore than when they started. That area is just a messed up place of anarchy and I'm not even going to try to make sense of that place anymore.

What are you relying on for natural state? Other animals? They kill off other competitors. If humans let instincts guide their actions then there'd be more violence with emotions driving decision making than brains.

I'm confused. Are you saying people who are monogamous aren't allowed to be attracted to other people by your definition? Or are you saying why are people choosing to be monogamous over having multiple partners at the same time?

Maybe if companies actually tried offering affordable employment housing so people aren't having to do long commute times or losing a chunk of their salary living closer people would not be against working in the office.

There's too much personal monetary and time inconveniences of working in the office over remote on an individual level that it's hard to care about wanting to get to know someone being enough of a draw to work in the office.

I think I know what you mean. I've hit a phase where time spent at work feels like wasted time, since it's not time I got to spend doing something I wanted to be doing. Which is really contrary to the usual philosophy that time not spent money is wasted.

I've switched jobs gone back to school etc, but no matter what once something becomes a mandatory routine that time feels like a waste. I'm starting to really value and cherish the seconds I actually have control over.

Check out realgm forums for sports. Was hard cutting off sports community on reddit, but realgm is active and been around for years.

Yes, being able to set different colors to show up depending on the app is so cool. Still an option in LineageOS with a section for Notification LED.

It doesn't illuminate the same though ☹️ . Have a new phone with no LED and an old OnePlus phone I use as a back up with a dedicated LED.

It's one reason I haven't rushed to try out every lemmy app that has come out yet.

Stopped using google search. Started using duckduckgo, brave, startpage, or SearXNG instead. Been using SearXNG the most.
