In what settings is it socially acceptable to talk to strangers?

This comment is ironic considering that this article is exaggerating what Musk said.

The headline and article seems to be hugely misleading. According to this article, the $1 was only for food and he did it as a challenge, not out of necessity.

You literally said “instead of algorithms”, implying that algorithms would be replaced.

But SearxNG doesn’t have the nice features like bangs, redirects, changing the priority of domains, custom CSS, lenses, etc.

Kagi has clearly stated that the AI features will always be optional and the engine is designed to be useful without them.

Enropean cities also have “bad parts” despite having a completely different history.

The question said literally nothing about race. The racism is in your head.

First off, thank you for engaging critically with my comments rather than dismissing them :) I apologize for the delayed response, I had to sort my thoughts about this.

Basically, your brain thinking "no, don't do creepy shit."

But with your example, exercising rationality actually would help, because "the sadness that comes from seeing couples in public or among your friends and knowing that you’ll never experience what they’re doing" is actually an irrational thought.

Isn’t it kind of an example of what you stated in the previous paragraph? By acknowledging that women don’t see me as a potential partner, my brain is preventing me from hurting women by showing my romantic interest. While I could try to combat this thought, it would not be in the best interest of others.

On the contrary, wanting a partner is an irrational thought because it ultimately comes from the natural instinct to reproduce. Hypothetically, if I were asexual, I could just live a fulfilling life alone and everyone would be better off.

.com is for commercial sites (though many sites misuse it). Most Mastodon instances are not commercial.

beer ~ piss

wine ~ rotten blood

coffee ~ diarrhea

raw meat (tartar steak, etc) ~ used chewing gum picked from a pavement

dark salami ~ rotting corpse

vinegar ~ battery acid

moldy cheese ~ moldy cheese

I’d like to hear someone pronounce it as [stɹɛŋgθs] without choking.

If by “acting on them” you mean staring, catcalling, asking out, etc. I’m already trying my best to not do that. I’d say I’m quite successful at it, though in crowded spaces it’s often difficult to find a direction to look in that doesn’t contain a woman. And my mom sometimes tells me that I should look at and approach women, so there’s social pressure too.

However, what draws people to incel spaces is the sadness that comes from seeing couples in public or among your friends and knowing that you’ll never experience what they’re doing. Unless I’m misunderstanding, I don’t think what you’re suggesting helps with that.
