She literally spent a good portion of her eulogy talking about how wives are not supposed to be slaves. You can’t make this shit up.

Youth is still very much wasted on the young

I mean the flip side of what you are saying is that people aren’t allowed to have a social life free from romantic pursuit. Yes, it’s a thin line to walk but you are only seeing the view from a person with limited romantic opportunities, not the person who is tired of every social interaction being hijacked by dude number 67897 “out to find people you enjoy spending time with, and maybe some of them are also people you consider pursuing romantically.”

Like I totally get your perspective here. Doing things, and then… Organic relationship with no pressure. That’s ideal. The problem is that horny dudes hold this ideal in their head, and then use it to justify blowing up every coed activity in existence. You might think, “ok, if she says no, I’ll drop it” but the counterpoint is that this ritual becomes a chore for the other side of the fence. You are socially awkward, now imagine that any time you socialize in a group you have to awkwardly defend against someone’s iterative advances. And that this happens so often, it begins to color the way you interact with every acquaintance.

Yes, meeting people in group settings often leads to dates. But going into those settings with the intention to find a date is a recipe for problems. This is a subtle, but important distinction which seems lost on a lot of people.

If there is a god, it will happen on live television.

This can backfire too though, since women assume any man coming to these events is just looking to hook up, so their guard is high. It’s also kind of shitty to make all extracurricular activities into dating events imo. People should have a space away from that pressure.

Honestly for me the best way to meet single is to have married friends who can play matchmaker. Of course that requires you to have friends, which brings us back to square one.

Ah damn, I was a state actor who was going to smuggle in sleeper agents to perform sabotage and espionage in the US, but I can’t figure out how to create a fake social media profile. I admit defeat.

I have a 14" carving knife which is considered a sword in some parts of Europe.

It’s also not that hard to implement. It’s just a slightly different algorithm.

Also it’s not an industry scam - literally the only standard out so far is from NIST.

It really isn’t though. It is thermal noise.

Trump has frankly gotten embarrassed at every debate he’s done, but the media handicaps him so hard that the narrative ends up being about everything his opponent does. So of course he’s going to do the debate. He’s going to say bat shit crazy things, he’s going to lie, he’s going to be cringe as fuck and he’ll probably say a bunch of racist and sexist things.

And the next day all the media will talk about is the time Harris sneezed or slightly mispronounced some word or some shit.

Certain major instances are way worse than reddit ever was.

To prevent them from engaging in bad behavior.

So you can still ban the voting agent. Worst case scenario you have to wait for a single rule breaking comment to ban the user. That seems like a small price to pay for a massive privacy enhancement.

I don’t think you do. Admins can just ban the voting agent for bad voting behavior and the user for bad posting behavior. All of this conflict is imagined.

This is literally already the Lemmy trust model. I can easily just spin up my own instance and send out fake pub actions to brigade. The method detecting and resolving this is no different.

It will be extremely obvious if you see 300 user agents voting but the instance only has 100 active users.

But if the only bad behavior is voting and you can that agent then you’ve solved the core issue. The utility is to remove the bad behavior, no?

Is that really harassment considering Lemmy votes have no real consequences besides feels?

You don’t even need to message an admin. You can just ban the agent doing the voting.

Ok, then you can keep your votes public and other who don’t want that have an option as well. Everyone is happy. There is no conflict here.
