The unfortunate ratchet effect. Tea party/maga tapped an alternative group. Dems need to reframe their platform maybe AOC will be a front runner there but it may look very different. Independents may get you an election or two but they'll swing the other way unless you have something solid for them.

    This is why I think something like mastodon works really well for government, public works or any service that wants Twitter/Facebook like notifications without all the bullshit like having to deal with all negatives of having those accounts.

    Keeping score for good things generally will lead to those points being abused so people can look good but not actually be good. Suddenly creating ranking for more good. Good vs evil where the lower tier can't keep up so the actively don't attempt to be good or even strive the other way.

    I came to the same conclusion. If I have a problem that I know nixos can solve it's useful tool in my belt. But man you try to do anything out side the box the learning curve is massive. Good for those that know but when you only get to tinker a few times a week for a couple hours just getting things to work can be fun at first but gets old very quick.

    I buy music from Amazon music, hd tracks or band camp it's all drm free and put it on my server behind a subsonic based server . That'll give you the closest to a streaming service. Otherwise just sync music on your phone old school.

    Short answer is yes. Don't let stereotypes or media sway you sexual desires have as much range as there are personalities in this world. Communication for your desires and their desires are key and when you are in a healthy functional relationship there should be a continuous discourse of those desires. From there you will discover if you are ultimately compatible in the long term.
