I gave up because I was typing on my phone.

I think you have a point, but also you've cranked that point to 11. Possibly 12.

Like yes, women can be really infuriated by how often they get hit on. I know the main reason my wife wanted a stereotypical wedding ring with a single diamond was that "it'll keep the flies away"

But also... people interact with you in public. It's like... a property of public spaces. Indeed talking to my wife in a public space is how we met.

The way you make it sound from your description would be that asking some woman directions would be a social fopah. Hell, where does just "having a conversation" land for you then? If you leave without asking for a number, is it different?

There's a difference between idle chit chat and approaching like Johnny Bravo.

... I mean, a lot of these words are pretty tame aren't they?

Chat? Rizz? Anime words and gestures? No pumpkin?

Seems like a desperate attempt here.

Bones UK, I dunno if they're a full female band but the two main ones are.

Found it, 137 deltas.

Impressive, a bit worrisome

... well how many deltas did it get?

I hate it as an experiment on principle but c'mon how well did it do?

One thing that I really wonder is if things have at all improved amongst men. It's gone downhill with any Andrew Tate fans but like, if a group of 18 year olds watched Animal House or Revenge of the Nerds today, how many would be outright appalled?

They were popular in the day. Specifically among men. I just feel like it would be a fascinating experiment that could demonstrate some progress is being made. Perhaps people can breathe a bit easier.

Why this is not brought up every other day whenever Schumer or Pelosi think they are out of touch, I will never know.

I'm not,

I'm genuinely skeptical that most polls are an accurate sampling of the population. Most people I know would never sit through a phone poll. Most polls reek of phishing. One of the very first phone polls said that Dewy would beat Truman in a landslide. It was completely wrong because it was predominantly rich people who had the phones to even answer the polls.

Who has the time for polls? Who drops by the candidate booths at the state fair? It's a type for sure.

The only poll I have been a part of all last year was a phone poll entirely about optometrists and eye appointments and how they should be handled in the healthcare system. I couldn't even finish it because the entire things was just... painful to go through.

Back in college I used to be friends with a guy who volunteered in an indie record label, so I'd go to a lot of indie concerts.

Nowadays I usually just go to caravan palace, whatever plays at an anime convention, a few bar crawls, and VGM con. So maybe every other month or so?

So... is there any relation to the Marathon that came out in 1994 by Bungie?

Because... the art style genuinely looks awesome but I don't see anything that reminds me of the original. Not in enemies, or gameplay, or plot, it also seems entirely online multi-player, I see no rogue AI.

Honestly I would be intrigued by the art style alone but... the shameless name grab makes me think it's gonna flop.

It's even worse today. The amount of interconnected systems we have in play would be absolutely chaos to try and separate.

We didn't have to worry about power grids, networking, food was FAR more local, it would take years to try to isolate yourself from it all on a statewide scale.
