40 percent return a week in perpetuity… hahahahhahahahahahahahhaha

Just checked it out and scrolled the feed for a hot minute, literally 2/3 of the posts are pumping bitcoin - I’m out.

Congrats on 90 days!! Huge fucking milestone, well done! When FOMO kicks in, force yourself to think about low points you’ve had with the fire water - it’s not worth it - plus there is a huge market opening up for non-alcoholic drinks, so when you feel a bit more resilient that’s an option to socialize, YMMV.

In terms of getting out, I whole-hearterdly agree with the other commenter with volunteering. I would further suggest doing something physical, trash cleanups, running/biking club, etc. For me, getting my heart pounding and sweat pouring vanquishes any anxiety I might have had entering the situation or generally.

Best of luck!

I’ve been playing with zomboid for over 10 years!!! Amazing that this is picking up so much steam after being so ‘mature’ already! But loving the preview builds!

Personally I love the smell, but whenever I eat Natto everyone in the house is upset.

Nice red herring you’ve got there - I’ll leave you in your dark, depressing hole to enjoy eating it in peace. 👋

History proves you wrong. Every major challenge to our democracy, from our inception, has been overcome with blood, sweat and plenty of tears.

Americans will roll over and let it happen like they have for fifty-some odd years now or more.

You’re old now but apparently can’t remember all the victories over the last 50 years? Title IX? ADA? Same-sex marriage? First black president? First woman speaker? That’s just off the top of my head - your willful ignorance is actually shocking to me, shameful.

I was kinda going down the list of more involved to least, but def they have game/trivia nights at most local pubs, plus a bunch of random events that if you participate in you are going to meet people.

Cry me a fucking river. Switch all your crop to service china, make boatloads of cash. Vote for the guy who says fuck china, shocked pikkachu face when they stop buying your crop.

Yeah not bad, I’m sure you could use federated login to allow the users’ personal google acct to hit the maps api and pull reviews. But yelp/google/amzn/etc all manipulate ratings and reviews behind the scenes without any transparency which is a deeper problem and why I am always critical of reviews in general. But like I said, if you and I created an OSS review plugin/service for use in OSS maps, it wouldn’t be long before it was corrupted in some regard… somehow. Cynical I know but the review data is just so damn JUICY to everyone.

It is funny and it is true! (also fuck steve)

I keep telling my s/o we need a sister wife and she keeps slapping me. That’s what dating is to me now.

I’ve said this a bunch here and elsewhere but it bears repeating - get out there in spaces where you are forced to interact with others: rockclimbing gym, mma/martial arts gym, cooking classes (either free at the library or paid at Le’ Bon’ Too’ Expensive’), social spaces for vices like hookah bars or bar bars (come on green lounges already!!!).

Forced interaction where hooking up is not expected is where the real hooking up takes place. Get out there and have fun and forget about (pussy/dick/w/e) for a few weeks and it will magically start coming into your life.

Hell yeah it was!

Sweet ok thx for the response - will try it out!

No let me apologize I was overly harsh on that criticism.

yeah there really isn’t a way around reviews

I think it’s just too valuable to stay open and free, someone will always want to monetize (from the business, the reviewers, the ‘pop up’ order on the map, etc)

Is it worth it to jump in if I haven’t played in 4+ years? Used to play with a few friends but similar to MC after 6mnths or so people dwindled interest in it.

It’s pretty cool, wish I could zoom in a little further: link for the lazy

I too have found myself in the same boat, especially because Google Maps is probably (for my life) their best product. I was in the early contributor beta and have been pretty consistent in leaving reviews over the last 10+ years (although the offers for comp’d dinners have disappeared) - I’ve made an effort to be better, I have CoMaps on my phone, and I’ve started contributing to OSM. I think what would really seal the deal for me to shift completely would be integrated reviews. As you said, google and yelp have the market cornered for that, but there is no transparency.

edit: that transit app website is the worst marketer crap I have ever stepped in, scrolled so many fucking pages of artistic empty-words and vision speak and still have NO FUCKING CLUE what the app does. JFC.

Looks like they took design inspirtation from Fiat, which is cool to me, I love my abarth.

I think it largely has to do with every system we interact with (from birth at this point) being optimized, professionally by people with doctorates mind you, to drip dopamine for you. I believe (without any evidence lol) that this is creating an ADHD society.
