It took me a moment to realize you were referring to Cosmo the magazine. I saw that OP’s username is Mr Fish and immediately thought of Cosmo and Wanda.

I've had a great experience using Orion's reader mode to use Wikipedia on my phone. Safari? Not so much. Safari's reader mode breaks Wikipedia pages, whereas the only issue Orion has with them is not including the titles to subsections. Which I can hardly complain about when all I want is to read an article on a darkened screen before falling asleep.

realize i've never actually tried to seduce a girl

Satire maybe? Women may want to be charmed, but we* don't want to be seduced, so starting right there anon's in for a bad time.

*with an exception for kinksters who are into that

Oh snap, you're right. I saw that earlier today too and thought it was weird.

We need some kind of de-Redditing step-by-step manual or something. Lately I've been coming across some really silly arguments by people with relatively new accounts, clearly unaware that Lemmy has a different style. Some of the things that fly on Reddit aren't going to go far here. We know we're not obligated to play by stupid rules.

It's somewhere on Pornhub, probably

Now I'm picturing Bob Ross painting Uranus.

You say that as if "travel regularly" was ever a thing we could do, lol.

I used to travel when I could, maybe once every couple years. I haven't made any long travels in a while, though. I have new expenses now that are digging into my savings, and don't know when I'd get the chance to travel again. Rent is putting me on the razor's edge here.

Name-calling? From me? Where?

However, the population of the earth increases year over year. At a certain point, we have to stop doing that. How do you feel we should handle that change?

Now this is a better question. I'm sure there can be sophisticated answers, but I feel like a "gestures broadly" at the state of the world can suffice. That is, population increase has been declining, and also many don't want to bring a child into this world due to worries about the future.

Not to mention, redistribution of wealth would provide more than enough resources for each person. I'd rather take that route than try to control birth rates through artificial limits. But it seems that right now, for many people, just knowing the road humanity is heading down is enough to keep us from reproducing.

You realize not everyone wants to have 10 children, right? A lot of people don't want any, or are fine with one or two. I grew up in a family of 4 kids and even in the 90s many people thought that was "a lot." Nice reductio ad absurdum, though. It's been a while since I've seen an example in the wild.

Glad to see you here, I was actually thinking about your situation when I was reading the part about "hidden kids."

Every step the Chinese government has made here is absurd. Then again, it seems many politicians really don't see the rest of us as humans, just as a mass to control. I love to see that the young women are like, "Yeah, no, fuck all of this. We're done with you telling us what to do."

I’ve got a friend who throws great parties. All around the house, she has dishes and cups filled with pre-rolled joints anyone could just pick and light up.

I’m excited to go to her birthday party coming up.

 

I was browsing for a game and came across this site, which immediately prompted me to select an option. If all you did was read the top part, you’d think “Platinum” would be the best choice. But no. It seems they’re deliberately trying to trick people into giving away the most information by making it seem “superior.”

 

The burrito bowl I got for lunch today was a bit too spicy for me. Afterwards, my nose got very runny. It’s not the first time this happened, so I decided to look it up. Lo and behold, there is a term for this!

ETA: I didn’t choose the thumbnail, it generated automatically. Sorry if it seems irrelevant to the post.

 

I’ve occasionally noticed ordinary comments with zero upvotes to them. Yet, our own comments are upvoted automatically whenever we make them. So for comments to have zero upvotes, either something I don’t know about is happening, or there are people who downvote their own contributions.

I can’t help but wonder, why? It seems like extra effort without a clear reason.

I was kicked off Medicaid at the start of this year and subsequently lost access to my ADHD and depression medication. In February, I moved to a new area and got a new job, but had to wait several months until I qualified for health insurance through it.

After that point, I had to wait for a weekday when I wasn't working and when I had the mental capacity to tolerate back-to-back disappointing phone calls... all without medication that would make the process significantly easier to tolerate. These are only the calls I've made today.

Finally, FINALLY, I have an intake appointment scheduled.

It's absolutely shameful how much a struggling person is expected to do in order to access basic mental health care.
