Long ago that I read such a sincere and relatable peek into human psychology, and people are somehow roasting you for it. Why? Do they not think every human (including themselves) is vulnerable to this fallacy? I for one commend your courage to admit your imperfect humanity and acknowledge that it can lead to…

The irony is this: the same law that allows her to have that gun also allows her hypothetical attacker to have a gun, and the attacker will most definitely be faster to draw.

There’s only one way to combat this: education. Teach people how fear is influencing then in ways they can’t imagine. Teach them how fear makes them bad people while love, forgiveness and trust make them good people. I think https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/10/religion-for-the-nonreligious.html would make a good starting…

There’s really not much they can do about that. Twitter is, largely by design, the Wikipedia amongst “news” sources. Actually no, Wikipedia is a bazillion times more heavily moderated than Twitter can ever be. Twitter is by design a place where anyone and everyone can say what they want without first having to proof…

I’d say get a local theatre or two down with this to be more liberal about home-brought refreshments for once and/or provide more friendly refreshment prices to those funded by this initiative. The good publicity they’ll get in return (or the bad publicity they’ll get otherwise) might just sweep them in the right…

I haven’t seen or even heard of this movie, character and actress before reading this (yes I’ve been living under a rock) so I’m probably going to say some things that seem stupid and ignorant to someone who has, but bear with me. Let me try to analyse This phenomenon in myself for as far as possible.

I don’t see why the landline would be odd either. I don’t personally own a landline but when I’m at a place that does I still tend to prefer it over my cellphone in the rare event I want to make a call. Granted, I’m not a 20-something girl (rather I’m a 20-something guy) but does that really make the difference? Or am…

They already have a ranking algorithm where based on your behaviour you get a score that puts you at the front or the back of someone’s “card stack”, highly impacting the odds that someone will get to see and swipe your profile. They’re not necessarily using anti-harassment metrics for that yet as far as I’ve heard…

A new Tinder account requires either a new Facebook account (tied to your person) or a new phone number (costs money), so they’re less susceptible to burners. But to some extent they still are I guess, so yeah.

Everything Facebook does is despicable. Start from this reference point or you’ve already failed.

:-) looks like Voldemort with just noseholes and no elevated noise. No thanks. I prefer :^). Admit it, everybody likes a snowman :^D (ok maybe not that one X^D and not that one either).

It does support https but somehow doesn’t use it by default. Curious.

But what about the caret-for-nose? :^)

Godotify sounds like a really sneaky way to find out if someone has a crush on you if you have suspicions of the sort. It could also be used to figure out how urgent a message you just got is, and play a more dramatic notification sound if whoever sent the message waits desperately for a reply for long enough.…

Hmm, seems I’ve been misinformed before then. Thanks for clearing that up!

I think I once read somewhere that in one of the two times he was elected he didn’t win the popular vote? By a smaller margin than Donald of course, but this must be where the “ill-gotten power” comes from.

I’m not on Twitter so don’t know exactly how a private Twitter account works but I presume it’s meant to protect your privacy by letting you select who can read your Tweets? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be more likely to call to privacy instead of copyright to keep people from reposting your Tweets? Or maybe just…

No mention of festive eating habits? Although if that were the reason that wouldn’t be surprising at all I guess so the title kinda rules it out... XD

That’s pretty interesting! Also because I sometimes feel those “pause buttons” work maybe a bit too well for me XD

It seems nowadays on one side there are the bullies and trolls and on the other side are the oversensitive getting offended over the slightest misplaced joke or misphrasement. Sometimes it seems everyone in between has fled the American corners of the internet. Then again, this comment section has proven differently I…
