I disagree that it can only be romantic attraction.

For example, I can find a random person attractive if they're displaying a skill they're proficient in, talking passionately about a subject they're knowledgeable in, or freely enjoying themselves. And all without feeling any kind of romantic inclination towards them.

It's primarily sexual despite the fact it's not necessarily physical

I'm definitely not old (~30), and my preference has generally been my age +/- 5 years.

As I've gotten older, I've noticed that my sexual attraction has migrated from being solely based on physical attributes to being partially based emotional connection, intelligence, passion, etc.

I think it's also important to note that an individual's "peak attractiveness" can occur at different stages of their life.

Oh I see where the disconnect is. I'm on the mobile app, not desktop

Completely agree. Although I have known a few people who went for accounting because of the reasons OP gave and absolutely HATED it. So it's important to make sure you can actually handle it as a day job

I'm not sure how to actually get to the root instance in Voyager. I can find a communities sidebar though

Oh nice, thanks for the heads up on the Local communities. I'll definitely use that quite a lot.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to think seeing other instances would be cool. I've been using the search a lot to find new communities I'd like to take part in and I think being able to search for an instance's communities could help a lot with the lesser known ones

 

For example, I'm on Lemmy.world, I can view posts by Local but I haven't figured out how to view all communities on Local.

I see value in being able to do the same for any other instances I choose to search for too.

I'd appreciate any help in doing this if it's already possible or even an explanation to why it's a potentially dumb idea 😅

I get your point that it's not specifically Chrome or specifically Safari that are holding other browsers back, but Apple and Google own the vast majority of market share in mobile devices and by extension, browsers used in mobile devices. I think that's the crux of what the investigation is getting at

It's laziness. "I don't have to think tough thoughts if I let someone else do all of the thinking for me."

I disagree with your last statement. Is promising to change not evidence of the motivation to change?

Some people lie about their intentions or don't plan to change as quickly as expected, absolutely. But to assume everyone who has promised to change won't feels unfair.

Thanks for the advice.

Yeah, I completely understand that it's not gonna be as popular as Reddit immediately, but I know that if I felt the need to jump ship, other people will too.

I'm most just searching through All and sorting by new ATM trying to find some interesting things to read about and topics to discuss

Look at how thrilled they are to receive their reminder that their sons were sent into a metaphorical meat grinder.

Assuming this is real, this just adds one more thing for Russia to be ashamed of
