I would say “Talk about us” before the massage just to be safe, but assuming his response was that, he probably knows. Especially given you said “Talk about us” and “Massage (Something that is typically reserved for romantic partners, or paying customers)” in the same thought. There’s a .01% chance he hasn’t caught the hint, but being explicit is still important!
Good luck!
I mean, if I could night drive I’d personally do it for a friend, but that’s because of my own life, I don’t think most people would do that for someone they weren’t romantically interested in.
Also him not pressuring you for sex when you called him over late at night, and he probably did think this was a sex thing, is an obnoxiously good sign. It’s probably worth at least bringing up, at least once he’s gotten a full night’s sleep :P
It’s basically reddit. If you want to find communities (subreddits) you can search for them on your instance (the server you’re on, in your case it’s Lemmy.world), or look on lemmyverse.net. You’re on a more populated instance, so discovery will be less of an issue for you.
Omarchy is a Linux distro developed by the guy this article is about.
… How have I used Linux for two decades and not run into this once. Amazing stuff
Typically it is by doing something else because they’re mimicking what an adult did to them. Usually it’s younger kids (under 7-8) who mimic like that.
Ahh, neat, didn’t know that!
I’d be on board if “Sex offender” only included the people that everyone seems to think it includes. However it also includes people who peed in public while drunk, people who turned to prostitution when they fell on hard times, and children who were victims themselves.
Only thing that will make both sides happy is banning them entirely, which I am 100% in favor of
(Seriously, though, look up what gets classed as a sexual offence in your area. It’s not just child molestation, and sexual assault.)
I have basically every URL our TV automatically pings blocked at this point. It phones home every 10-30 seconds whether they’re off or on. I think when we get a new TV we’re looking for a dumb TV
My favorite spoonerism still has to be one of the examples from Spooner himself: Jesus was a shoving lepherd
I mean, like, sorta kinda yeah
We all do, yeah. I just try and delete them when I’m writing anything for my blog. My big one used to be “technically,” and at this point I’m debating installing something that shocks me every time I type the word “realistically” because I use it way too much.
For me it’s a lack of confidence thing. Sorta/kinda/etc are there for their own reasons, I have a few theories but haven’t actually looked into it much
The problem is that this isn’t like Microsoft Office > LibreOffice/OnlyOffice/whatever. You’re not on Facebook for Facebook, you’re on Facebook for the people there. It’s why I have a lot of issues getting off of YouTube. I’m not on YouTube because their interface is nice, I’m on YouTube because the people I want to watch don’t post shit elsewhere. It’s a cycle, to get users we need stuff, and for stuff we need creators, and for creators we need users. When it comes to online platforms we don’t need an alternative to YouTube, we need an alternative to Markiplier, which is harder to come up with.
If you can get your friends, and family onto Friendica that would help quite a bit. The problem is that using a new server is hard for the end user (I would know, all of my fediverse presence is on servers I host), and telling someone “Use Friendica” is like telling someone to “Use email”. Get a Friendica/Mastodon/Whatever server, and keep it in your back pocket. Give them a link to that server, not to Friendica/Mastodon/Whatever as a whole.
Admittedly I don’t know how hard it is to stop using Facebook because I stopped using Facebook right after they took away the chronological timeline, and stopped using Messenger a few years ago. But spending some time to get a timeline together that you can boost will help any new users you recruit. Crucially, to promote viable alternatives, you need to be part of the viable alternatives, otherwise you’re just someone telling someone to jump into something new with 0 guidance, which is a good way to have them leave.
