Yes and basically everywhere else you need it

On the same network with device discovery localsend can be a good alternative.

It works on most devices, even IOS IIRC

I tried the demo of song of styx but didn’t really manage to do anything because I didn’t understand the menu symbols. Is there a tutorial or something that I missed?

Edit: The game didn’t properly do full screen because of my settings so the bar with the build menu etc was not visible, I am now able to play just fine

Then hair utensils like combs or similar

It was very intriguing and well written, made me read the whole thing

Which posts are you talking about?

I don’t think this is ai, as every line that I found makes sense and has a logical end or fade. Also the signature is clean. The only thing is the accordeon but the artist probably just doesn’t know exactly what that is supposed to look like.

I think it’s harmful to real artists if they are called out for AI they didn’t even use

Seems like the same thing as they are both called alpha

The one left of it is about 60 years old

Historically it’s those who are nationalist (don’t want external rule).

If I think of the historical meaning of leftism, I immediately think of marxism, but this would be antinationalist, as the goal is specifically unite all workers of the world and ignoring the country borders. Anarchism also abolishes nation states. What were you talking about in your comment?

Interesting, maybe it’s also a country difference. In germany the reality is very different. Most people I know don’t spend that much money and it’s a common thing to split the bill on the first date, so I assumed it wouldn’t be extremely different. Maybe the people in your area just have weird expectations idk.

How are dating apps still a business if they are made to lose their customers?

I don’t think they would still exist or be profitable for the companies owning them if they were actually good at getting people together.

I think more than half of the new couples meet on dating apps because the opportunities to meet people IRL have been heavily reduced since the pandemic.

But are you interested in someone that wants this? Is that someone you want to have as a partner?

If no, then there is no point in spending so much.

If yes, there is truly not really another way except spend a bunch.

Putting so much emphasis on money and wealth is a thing very popular in the manosphere and around social media. It isn’t that widespread in reality. It also depends on where you meet people. If you meet them at an expensive hobby meeting like golf or something, it’s pretty likely that they want someone who is willing to spend money.

Do you know women platonically? Maybe ask them what they want on dates(doesn’t mean you have to ask them out, just to get a different perspective), see if that matches what you perceive.

They are statistically not made for actually finding someone. If they were they wouldn’t be profitable. The goal is always to keep people using the app and spending money. If you are straight, the ratio of men to women on the average dating app is skewed against you if you are male and in your favor if you are female.

Dating apps are just the way for capitalists to make money off dating

I know, but it seems short sighted to me to accept only a single possibility for dating which involves spending a lot of money

If someone expects me to pay a massive amount of money on a first date, that woild be a dealbreaker for me. Why should I reinforce any traditional gender roles in a crumbling capitalistic society

This feels like a capitalistic idea to convince people thay they need to spend money to find a partner or people to be with. Dating can have many forms and you can get to know people in many different places. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to talk to people in hobby groups or go take a walk/drink a coffee with someone

But it doesn’t though. Dating is something you do to find people to be with IRL. Dating apps are made to keep you engaged and noy to lose customers. If you want to find someone to be with IRL, you gotta look IRL and it helps going somewhere, where people have similar interests

The Biodiversity crisis and climate change effects. The topic has dies pretty quickly after 2022 and now every major country is chasing profit again.
