Oh that’s easy. They tell you. Women post all over social media about expecting to be paid for.
External consistency. Read something here, something there, they’re congruent, those two sources support each other. Then keep doing that.
Divorce rates are skyrocketing, the number of young people who have never had any kind of relationship is skyrocketing, dating apps are going bankrupt, birth rates are plunging, the children that are being born aren’t being raised, and it’s fundamentally the same reason why there are multiple active genocides going on right now: People are hateful.
Reading.
I’ve never once installed a dating app on my phone in my entire life, so…nope. I’m on the outside of this one looking in.
So make men make the first move, and put him in the position of “Is this chick interested in me at all for anything or does she just want a free dinner?”
Look, the only solution to this is to make dating illegal and prostitution mandatory. Men want sex, women want money. So let’s kick this bullshit power play nonsense in the head, stop pretending love exists, and put the fucking price tag back on.
Constantly. Show me the lie.

cats@lemmy.world•Display technology, demonstrated by catEnglish
8·2 days agoNah that’s just a calico and a dilute calico. They’re both very cute. Possibly mother and daughter?
OLED displays are capable of showing more vivid blacks, but otherwise you can get damn good pictures out of IPS displays, and honestly I find that if I’m worried about the technical aspects of the picture or display or video signal, than the game or movie I’m watching must be quite mediocre because there were plenty of shows and movies that completely captured me on a 480i CRT.
I first saw Wrath of Kahn on VHS. It wasn’t color depth or vertical resolution that made “Of my friend I can only say this: Of all the souls I’ve encountered in my travels, his was the mO’St…human.” such a compelling experience.
If your show, movie, sext message, .swf or whatever doesn’t work in 480i60 and 2.0 stereo, I don’t want to see it because there’s no substance, only spectacle.
In an airplane with an open cockpit and a fairly spicy power plant, I took off at dusk and watched the sun rise in the West as I out-climbed the planet’s rotation. You think you can wow me with visual spectacle, whelp? That doesn’t work on me, you’ll have to use an art vastly more powerful but I fear lost to time: Good writing.

4·2 days agoI’m a little drunk, let that be explanation/excuse here:
When I was very young, like 3 or 4, in the early 90’s, I remember seeing commecials for what I now understand are fake fingernails. It was a commercial that showed a woman grabbing her–to a 4 year old–normal woman’s long fingernail, and casually prying it back so that it popped off and hinged back with a sticky yellow goo under it. What the commercial was selling was an acrylic nail that attached to your real nail without messy adhesives, what 4 year old me saw was a woman casually tearing her body apart. To this day I chew my nails to the quick so nothing can get under them, and I’m damn near 40.
This gave me the same “why the FUCK did you pull on it like that?” feeling as that commercial.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that after 9/11, many Americans opted to drive instead of fly. The shift led to a surge in crash deaths. The number of lives lost (2,000+) is comparable to those killed on 9/11.English

It’s hilarious to me how many people are shitting their beds over the Slate pickup coming with crank windows.

science@lemmy.world•Urine test identifies more than 9 in 10 bladder cancers, clinical study findsEnglish
5·2 days agoPerhaps a urine test, being less invasive than a biopsy, will be less hesitantly prescribed and thus more likely to catch cancer early when it’s easier to treat?
