eHarmony is really expensive and for me… I couldn’t find anyone on there.

Bumble did eventually work out though, in a relationship for ~7 months now

That’s such nonsense… Like Israel answers to Biden anyways.

This is exactly what Hamas wanted from what I’ve been reading. They set themselves up so that anyone who wanted to come after them would have to commit atrocious acts. Ugh.

Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

I’m talking about a massive park in the absolute heart of the city. Located such that is naturally surrounded by city high rises. *People are giving examples of parks that are way off in the boonies. I’m trying to say located centrally, heart of the city, you know where the high rises are. Yes I understand nyc has more, the...

Not to mention Summit Metro Park’s 14,000 acres (which largely but up against the two park systems you mentioned)

Cleveland and Akron did well on preserving access to nature

It really hasn’t. Some people freaked out about it for weak reasons, similar to people freaking out about Wayland.

It’s made working across distros so much nicer. The fundamental service management, logging, etc is all just a bunch of common tools and patterns.

Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Majaro, etc didn’t switch to it because “it’s one of the cancer’s of the Linux desktop for years.”

I admittedly missed the last part way down at the bottom about systemd-sysv. I suppose that’s more acceptable… but still you’re going to be using a minority distro with a minority configuration … that rarely ends well.

… and I’m sure it still has a fraction of the users of more mainstream distros and a fraction of those people actually using the systemd init system.

I’m pro-systemd so that’s an immediate pass from me.

I think it’s supposed to be a guy with a “man bun.”

The Internet helps with this some. I’ve found a number of companies, American Giant, American Blanket Company, Trayvax, Liberty Table Top, Awesome Coffee Club, and 360 Cookware that are all from what I can tell, doing it right at the higher price that comes with.

They can stay in business because they don’t have to maintain brick and mortar stores and appeal to the lowest bidder to stay in business.

It’s definitely hard to convince friends to actually spend the extra money though.

Discord is such a pain in terms of sticking to ancient stuff and having arbitrary limits.

I wish it hadn’t taken off like it did… But it was free so ofc…

What’s the point of this liberty you speak of if we don’t use it to criticize our own governments, and why stop at just criticism? The truth is you’ll only realize how thin your liberty actually is when you actually pose a threat.

You’re conflating a comparison with an endorsement.

One can say the US is unquestionably better than China while still acknowledging the US has issues.

I’d challenge you to find any country that’s truly “trustworthy.” That doesn’t mean I think it’s impossible, I just think historically humans suck at governorship.

As for what’s different between the US and China, your original point, I think a lot of it is just what’s available/who has the better deal. The US historically has the better innovations, the better weaponry, and in the case of Europe, bidirectional cultural influences, and there’s just a lot more history with the US as a partner and a lot more families with folks in both locations.
