“…on display.”

The crazy is still there; the culture just expresses it differently.

Have you spent much time in Arizona?

It’s not an Apple thing. The infrastructure tied to the providers and to peering with Google needs to support it too.

Yeah; the lawsuit actually is about discriminatory stops.

Then Trump will grab him on the way out.

Security isn’t the size of the app, it’s how you use it :)

Well, browse Google below the SEO dreck. Then follow the links.

Or, find some niche hobby site and follow its links.

Branch out from the world wide web… I still visit Hotline sites, the odd Gopher server, and other protocols of yesteryear.

Browse a few sites in the wayback engine and find linked sites that still exist there.

Or, go a totally different route and browse Tor or I2P.

How come this logic doesn’t hold water for people who live in poor neighborhoods or areas with gang activity? Or for migrant workers from Mexico?

That’s how politics tends to operate too.

That means you need to get out more.

The old Internet is still out there; it’s just that it is as flaky and hard to navigate as it always has been.

The “modern” Internet is just a select number of services that send each other traffic and run by the algorithm.

Most of the Internet I use in my spare time is stuff that’s been around since the 90s and still has about the same number of users it had then. Some of it is even indexed by search engines.

I wholeheartedly agree.

There are better emotions to feed, and they don’t tend to result in rejection.

“Black pill” is a different thing from not dating.

I never dated, just spent time with people who shared my interests. Eventually, I and one of the people who I shared interests with realized that we were often doing so exclusive of other people.

We essentially went from just living our lives to everyone seeing us as a couple, eventually us included.

Pursuing dating for the emotional high will let you down every time. Being real about who you are and what drives you, and learning to have healthy give and take relationships that don’t involve unrealistic expectations means you’ll end up with a more fulfilling life.

Er, “instead of caving to our unreasonable demands, they’ve responded in kind.”

It’s like Russia and Ukraine. Trump, if you want to work with Canada, just remove the trade barriers.
