As a straight dude, I'll date ya Eli. Absolute legend, showing character and something different.

You need to pull an anarchist for this to work out for you.

I personally like not knowing anything about the random dude from the Scruff app. Dates can happen after the hookup if there is some chemistry in the basement.

I'm a tech guy. I dont mind the occasional redistribution of wealth from corporations. I can even appreciate exploits found in the wild like this or doing hacking when it doesn't hurt people.

What this signals, though, is that you are cheap. I side with the girl on this. It's a date. Pay for the meal and show her you can be normal first.

Or maybe, just maybe, we should love people as they are and not make up stupid societal bullshit to follow for an indeterminate amount of time. I get you don't want to let out all the crazy before you know someone, and maybe this really is too much up front and your point stands. But I don't think it's that grevious. Maybe they are cheap, or maybe they wanted to show how skilled they are, or maybe they thought "this is really cool to me, I hope she finds it cool too".

Either way it's clear she's not a fit for him. But that's kind of a stupid note to end things on. I hope he finds someone more tolerant and understanding that takes an interest instead of being judgy and "weirded out" by essentially a hobby.

Yes, he was trying to come off as a cool hacker, but that's not why she's brushing him off.

It's because he said "I'm in."

Conversely, this is a great way to filter out normals who want to pay a corporation to prove how rich they are. You just gotta be yourself and you'll get the person that's right for you.

Yepp... great Filter.

"Hey, wanna come up to see my 3D printer" worked for me.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 hours ago

If they know about the Great Filter, that's a green flag.

Split the check. It's 2024.

How is it still expected for men to pay in this day and age. When I'm on a date I'm looking for an equal partner, not a dependent.

Me, disabled and just wanting someone to be with: side eye

Eh, I dunno why everyone is so negative about this. A knowledgeable person, free food, and (I suppose the critical point) I'm into this stuff too, so fuck yeah let's go. And whipping out that knowledge boner on the first go? Shit, setting the bar kinda high. What's in store for next time, gonna joyride in a new car after you take control of it remotely? Oh just take me now, I'm ready~.

Just gotta remember to torch it after, evidence is a bitch. Or so I've heard. Ehem. Anyway... nuggets, not a big deal, but knowledge is sexy af.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Besides. Fucking mcnuggets?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 hours ago

Questionable date food, but otherwise they're fine.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 hours ago

Gonna need a normal emulator…

Find someone who appreciates you, chicken nugget wizard

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly, find a partner in crime.

OMG, UrPartnerInCrime, guess who’s back in town. Chicken Nugget Wizard! Ya know, Hamburglars' cute lil bro 😏🔥 He’s still single, so you should totally vibe with him and see what happens! I can already feel major chemistry! 🍆💖 Let’s get it poppin'! 😂

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Ayo das blue stacks??? I miss that fkn app😂 that's a huge downside of choosing Linux I guess...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

There are other similar apps that work on Linux.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Waydroid is vastly superior to BlueStacks anyway

Nobody got anything to say about her reply?! She could have just ghosted him but instead gave an honest reply.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 hours ago

We normalize normality.
