ChatGPT4 here getting ready to steal yo girl

Sure, here are some affordable yet fun first date ideas in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia:

  1. Picnic at Perdana Botanical Garden: The Perdana Botanical Garden (formerly known as Lake Gardens) is a beautiful park in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Bring a homemade picnic, and enjoy each other's company in this peaceful setting. The entrance is free, you only need to prepare the picnic food and drinks which you can keep within your budget.

  2. Visit to the Petaling Street Market: This is a vibrant outdoor market in the Chinatown neighborhood. You can spend time exploring stalls, trying out street food, and maybe even haggling a bit. A meal there could cost about RM10-20 per person. You might also find some interesting souvenirs or gifts.

  3. Explore Thean Hou Temple: This is a stunning six-tiered temple and one of the oldest and largest temples in Southeast Asia. Visiting is free, though donations are appreciated. After exploring, you can grab a bite at a nearby local food joint.

  4. KLCC Park and Petronas Twin Towers: A walk around KLCC Park offers a great view of the city's iconic Petronas Twin Towers. This park features a jogging track, walking paths, and a water fountain with light show at night. There are also food trucks and local food courts nearby where you can enjoy a budget-friendly meal.

  5. Visit the KL City Gallery: This is a small museum where you can learn about the history of Kuala Lumpur. The entrance fee is below RM10. After the museum, you can have a coffee in one of the local cafes around the area.

  6. Spend Time at Taman Connaught Night Market: If your date is on a Wednesday, head over to Taman Connaught Night Market. It's one of the longest night markets in the country and you'll find all kinds of food, clothes, and trinkets. You can have a feast here under RM30.

  7. Explore the Batu Caves: If you both enjoy a little bit of adventure, take a train to Batu Caves. It's a little bit out of the city but it's a major tourist attraction with a large statue of Lord Murugan and a series of cave temples. It's free to visit but be prepared for the 272-step climb. You could stop at a local eatery afterwards.

Remember, the most important thing is that you enjoy each other's company. Even simple activities can be memorable when shared with the right person. Have a great date!

Thanks for the concern. Actually we've done all this already - see sticky! monyet.cc is not compromised, and AFAICT there's absolutely no risk to regular users right now.

  • We've already reset our auth so the old tokens no longer do anything even if attackers have them. And passwords aren't at risk (auth tokens are issued separately from passwords, there's no way to convert one to the other).
  • We've scrubbed the infected comments from our DB, so no new users can be infected
  • We've disabled federation (which is where attacks are coming from; "infected" custom emojis being federated in) and community creation (a vector for an attacker to gain more privileges)
  • We already have a lemmy-ui patch being tested on our dev server, but I believe there's no way for this to be exploited from local sources (the issue comes from custom emojis, which only admins can add), so there's no rush on this

If you don't mind, if you review the list above and agree with my assessment, I'd appreciate if you could nuke this post and continue discussion on the sticky, so we don't unnecessarily alarm users!

Edit: Thanks!

What dating apps have you used?

Hmm actually I haven't really, almost at all. I tend to meet people IRL.

Why dating experience?

But in general I'm a workaholic serial monogamist, so I don't have as many relationships under my belt as most - 3-4 longer term and a sprinkling of dates (#2) and am sometimes unresponsive and drop off the map all the time (#9). Sorry future partners. Huh actually! This reminds me of something I actually want to know haha. I'll post a question about this to the sub tomorrow.

Would you say you’re married to your job?

Career is important to me right now, yeah. Lots of opportunities that only happen once per lifetime. But at some level I wonder if I'm just avoiding the relationships dimension of life.

Have you tried dating someone from reddit?

Kinda? A long time ago? It went okay. I'd prefer not to go into details to respect their privacy. Reddit has been a surprisingly great way to meet people IRL! For friends, activities, fun / useful / interesting people of all kinds. The Malaysians who reddit tend to all be polarised in the same direction. 7/7 with rice, have not been murdered yet

Hmmm probably worth investigating what the other country instances are doing with theirs! No question that it's succeeding for them. (I'll do a bit more legwork when time permits)

[-] dcx 2 points 2 years ago

Haha sorry!! Wing away!

[-] dcx 2 points 2 years ago

I'm glad we could help! And I hope you find ways of enjoying the site and contributing if you can. Please do ping with feedback any time! (Though we won't always reply quickly, IRL is quite busy these days)

I agree with other commenters – while it'd be good to have some of these groups eventually, we prob shouldn't make a bunch of communities ahead of time, that we can't sustain readership for. Namesquatting and ghost towns will turn users away, vs creating as we go!

I also agree we can seed a few communities to start though! Bit by bit.

Ooh... that's weird. Good to know, thanks. I'll add something to the Switching to Lemmy guide

[-] dcx 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh! Just to add to that though, our stats are probably actually much larger than are reflected on those stats.

  • There's this thing called the 90-9-1 rule - 90-99% of users lurk. I've found this to hold true on r/my and elsewhere.
  • Especially on Lemmy where they have to create an account to even upvote - whereas most lurkers on reddit are probably registered.
  • Lemmy doesn't seem to report pageview count
  • Someone told me they switched over so they could get their news feed back
  • So I suspect we may have as many as 3-5k daily active users, but just like on reddit, they lurk

If you're a lurker reading this, please do consider creating an account! There's no email address required. It's motivating for us to see higher signup numbers :)

Thanks! Btw, I'm planning to let comments collect for a bit before incorporating them. But this will go in! (Edit: Added!)

[-] dcx 2 points 2 years ago

Oh wow that's perfect thanks. Icon changed!

[-] dcx 2 points 2 years ago

Ohhh great idea! :) Looking forward to meeting new folks!
