  • As many have said, this isn't a real thing. It sounds like she was trying to groom you. The comment about the other girl wanting to play with you boobs is reminiscent of the 764 group, who are dangerous, violent psychopaths.

    Most importantly right now, GOOD FOR YOU for blocking her!

    Secondly, you should report this to the cops. Please, PLEASE report this person!

    Thirdly, if you did send her more than just a picture of your palm (i.e. and aren't telling us the whole story), don't be ashamed. Groomers are very good and very practiced, and can get past all logical defenses.

  • Your points are well taken, but it also incentivizes abandoning a losing party after an election - even if that party still represents the interests of the constituency.

    The broader solution is to deeply gut the party system, starting with true proportional representation. Banning whipped votes would be ideal, but not possible to implement.

  • I'm not sure I agree with your claim that 'floor crossing is an essential element of a healthy parliamentary democracy...'

    Leaving a party that no longer represents the constituents should be alliwed, but I'd be happy if MPs were required to sit as independents for the rest of the term.

  • Well, you certainly seem to be an asshole.

    Besides, you're missing the point - ALL of the points.

    1. There are unfortunately a lot of things that cannot be done without US companies. You call people losers for having an Apple or Android phone or using a credit card, but what other options are there right now?
    2. We may not be doing perfectly - hell, we're probably not doing as well as we should - but not getting everything perfect right away doesn't negate what we've done.
    3. The point isn't to hurt the US - we're not big enough to really accomplish that. The point is to avoid the US as much as we can for our benefit and sovereignty.
  • We need a chart.

    Makes clear both their activity on any given day/place, but also reminds us that it's never about a specific group, it's only who they're attacking now. Tomorrow it will be different, abd ecentually it will be you.

  • It is more popular.

    That probably doesn't make sense, but when I joined a few years ago, I could read every post across the entire lemmy-verse and be annoyed waiting for new content about anything. At the time, the survival of lemmy at all was in serious doubt.

    Now I have my handful of groups that are generally active enough that I get a consistent amount of new stuff coming in. It's fairly low volume compared to other platforms, but it's growing fairly steadily and becoming more useful all the time.

    The creation of communities happens with time. We're getting there.

  • Speaking as a guy approaching 60, I say get in touch.

    It iis so easy to lose friends, and increasingly harder to make new ones as we age. Hold onto those who knew you best. Maybe some won't survive and maybe you'll become closer friends with those you didn't know that well, but make the effort, and do it now.

  • When we have important meetings at work, we set everything up ahead of time. We test the connection. We make sure EVERYTHING is ready in advance.

    Then if things fall apart so badly that it can't be fixed on the spot, SOMEONE WITH A FRICKIN' CELL PHONE CAN CALL!

    There is no excuse for this - none. It was deliberate and dismissive.
