I think people need to go outside and interact with each other in person. That's the best way to date.

I'm using using a Revanced patched version of RIF is Fun to access Reddit. I have a VPN with ad blockers running. The app doesn't have location permissions. I am getting ads for my city in it. The odd thing is that before the banning of 3rd party Reddit apps, I never got ads on RIF. I'm not only curious how they're finding my location, but if anyone is getting paid for these ads since RIF has officially shut down and it's only usable because of the Revanced patch.

How about telepathy for half the people. That's even more chaotic.

"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence,—it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant, and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”

-George Washington (allegidly) The true author is debatable, but the quote is accurate, none the less.

It's easier to bitch about what's wrong than to actively do something to make it better.

Who would share their wifi? That's just inviting someone to use it for nefarious things because they're not responsible for it.

If you're running Android you can use PDAnet to act as a mobile hotspot. You can connect your devices to your phone through wifi.

Edit: I didn't notice what community this was posted in. Obviously you're using Android 🤦

I didn't know that was still in place, since they started testing for AIDS decades ago.

Sync still doesn't work for me. It crashes as soon as it opens. I'm enjoying Liftoff right now. I think I'll stick with it even if Sync starts working.

I've tried T̶w̶i̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ X, and it just seems like a bunch of angry people text yelling at each other. It's like walking in to a huge room with 25 different arguments going on, and it's hard to tell what is even happening. I really don't get the appeal. I tried Mastodon, because I thought it might be better. It didn't appear to be.

Henry Ford did that.
