Reddit was awesome. It’s sad what became of it.
Started in Lemmy but kbin's reputation system woo'd me over!

I dislike the "So in other words you mean that <add_something_negative>" technique used in a conversation. Especially if it's not in a form of a question but rather a statement.

"What do you mean by that?"
"Do you mean that <add_something_negative>?"
A nicer way to put it, in my opinion 🤗 Takes more of the blaming out of the reply, keeping it a bit more neutral ❤

.

Don't get me wrong - sometimes it is needed to assess negative things people do.
But it can be done in a more polite way.
No need to be more harsh than what a situation/conversation really needs.

Heh. A comic is one thing, but they can be starting points for a comment or lesson well done, received and learned ❤

I appreciate discussions that differ from the basic, casual topics! It's a nice, different breeze!

O' Mighty Tale-Teller! I seek knowledge! What meme has been by far the most popular across the lands?

Luckily I have managed to spend less time in the shower.
One thing that (at least I think so) affected the time reduction greatly was using a stopwatch to see, how much time I use.

But sometimes it just feels so good to just stand there under! Especially if you feel cold!

I remember someone once writing "I could be rich if I invented a way to stab someone in the face through the Internet!" or something along those words.

Reminds me of -

I like lists and spreadsheets.

I made one spreadsheet for going through dating profiles in OKCupid.
I don't remember many details from it anymore - maybe my current girlfriend I've been with for more than a year now was the about 200-300th profile I crashed upon. And maybe there was a 15% chance that a profile I liked answered my message once and never again.

.

Finding a partner may also need persistence.
I was determined enough to find someone beside me. I worked with my goal and with that spreadsheet for months, having pauses here and there.
Why the spreadsheet? Cos (I like 'em plus) I wanted to know and MEASURE, how much work my goal needed to for it to be accomplished (in my case, under these stars and circumstances).
(I didn't pay for the service.)

.

How determined are you?

I guess it gets down to whatever whoever is ready to do to reach their Goal X.

Of course - in this case - it could require much less work to find a one-night stand partner than a serious relationship partner.

.

And - Online dating isn't the only option!
If you get tired of the digital files and the algorithms and the profiles, go outside and meet new folks!

Would dating be easier outside the Internet?
