ew gross

Is she being ironic or really didn’t actually know? It’s hard to know if attention-economy people do gimmicky things for attention or really are that… uh… unaware of things?

No! Tell me how to impress you!

There are also rumors, which may be untrue, of a Majestic 12 committee making deals with aliens in exchange for tech. It may be that advances in semi-conductor technology are the “trojan horse,” with AI being a natural and probable consequence of that which was genuinely discovered after the chip advances or with AI first being developed by government and then leaked to the public later via papers and then commercially made public, with the end result making the earth uninhabitable for humans. We also don’t know if aliens and UFOs are merely biological life/advanced travel or if they are some sort of technological/bio hybrid. It’s also possible that these are crazy rumors made up by people who can’t fathom science. I understand the statistical and computational logic of AI, so that doesn’t seem that crazy to me, but sudden semi-conductor advances seem impossible to fathom; but I could just be ignorant. One flaw in an analysis like this is that even without UFOs, aliens, and computers, humans were doing a great job of exponentially obliterating the normal natural environment just based on pollution emissions from cars and other processes.

Who knows?

It’s too bad they can’t just let them into the USA. I believe US car manufacturers would learn to compete over time.

I want to be called both.

I am so tired of alpha male bullying by random garbage. Can’t you just go on a poorly designed submarine with your alpha bro kind to show off your superiority and let nature take it’s course?

How could you say such a thing to me?

From this day forward, the Internet will know the truth of how vile MyVeryRealName is.

How dare you! I’m nominating you for the Tesseract ban list, where you belong, with the other freaks and scum of Lemmy.

He would have likely ghosted you if you had fucked on the first date too, or possibly had sex with you a few more times before becoming very busy because of work.

There are guys out there who say “I’m really looking for love and a long-term partner and hoping to find the right person” specifically because they want one-night stands and think that some naive people will think “This is it! Maybe he really likes me?” and have sex as a result.

If this trick didn’t work, sleazebags wouldn’t do it.

There are also people who may genuinely be looking for love (or lie to themselves about that) and when they meet up with someone who they aren’t that into, they will still act charming and interested and polite in romantic in the hopes of getting laid. It’s like a “well, I’m not that interested, this person is okay but not that hot, but I took an hour to get ready and then another 30 minutes to drive here, maybe I can at least get laid if the person’s easy…” You weren’t easy, so that trick didn’t work…

Definitely do not follow up. It’s very unlikely he was extremely sexually attracted to you and there was something you said that could be negotiated. He’s probably not thinking “She’s so hot, but she seems to mild for me.”

It’s probably more like he thought “Oh she seems nice, I’m not that into how she looks, she’s not that hot, maybe she’ll fuck?”

It’s hard to know if you could follow up without knowing what the traditional chivalry thing is about. If he paid for everything, instead of splitting, and you’re often busy with work and doing well, and that’s why… it could be that he genuinely can’t afford a long courtship process if he can’t be sure if he’s being used.

That’s a real concern because sometimes women will date guys, use them for free meals and free whatever, and not really actually want a relationship. For all he knows, you could go out on dates with guys three times a month, never pay, and never have sex, and just get free meals. Apps can be very brutal for some guys and some guys may feel like “If she’s not willing to be fair with money now, I’m going to get taken advantage of later.” I think it’s fair for someone to feel that way. He also may not be able to afford not splitting the bill in a long courtship. He may have income of 5000 a month, gets 3500 back after deductions, as has close to 3400 in expenses (or whatever). How nice of a place did you go to?

So if that’s specifically what happened, you could text back and say “I thought you were really hot. If this was just because of not splitting the bill, I’m willing to pay when we go out next time, but hopefully only if you think I’m hot too. I do want a long-term relationship and am not looking to have sex with anyone until (after marriage, until a guy says on Instagram we’re dating, until I’ve been dating a guy at least X months, etc.) However, if you just weren’t that into me or don’t want to wait that long, I get it, everyone has a type, right? If you weren’t that into me generally, no need to respond!”

I’m glad this person’s life was semi-ruined by using big tech.

I am tired of normies using horrible platforms and then acting Pikachu-level shocked when they have horrible privacy violations.

Tech illiteracy + Big tech exploiting tech illiteracy = profit and constant surveilance

and normies are too damn stupid to get it, and every once in a while one of them gets fucked, and then… suddenly… nothing changes yet again

and these normies with their acceptance of any TOS, even the shittiest of shit, and making opting out some sort of social misstep, like “What?! You really don’t use WhatsApp?” with an ugly look, means I am glad these assholes occasionally suffer for their ignorance
