id start a nuclear war for a dorito
One thing i have noticed before when i did happen to see an ad is they always have a higher base volume. Like the content the ad is in will be much quieter and then the ad starts and its SO LOUD. Im guessing they do it on purpose to make sure their slop reaches your ears.
I’ve had a few people mention this. I’ve never needed to port forward personally, but i also don’t torrent much outside of game repacks myself. As for binding the VPN to the client QBitorrent allows you to select the network interface it uses so you can make sure it always uses the VPN. And Lockdown mode in Mullvads settings blocks all Non-VPN connections. Port forwarding is definitely still useful to have if you need it though, and its a shame they got rid of it. For my use case it hasnt effected me though.
Yup exactly thats why i also mentioned the kill switch and lockdown mode settings. Kill switch shuts off all network access to the pc when your vpn connection is switching or drops temporarily while lockdown shuts off all network access except via the vpn. So even if you were to turn it off manually youll be unable to connect any other way. You can of course turn these off when not torrenting but its a nice extra protection to have while doing it. Prevents mistakes.
I didnt mean to imply Mullvads the only good VPN in the world. Its the only one im comfortable reccomending though. Since its the only one ive used extensively that i know works well. Im sure theres other good ones i just wont reccomend something i havent tested myself.
i did it like january 5th
哈哈哈哈 这是一个秘密 In all seriousness though yes they know. Deepseek just doesnt allow politics. 小红书 and social media have similar rules. Politics in China is serious not something people need to talk to a hallucinating machine about, or discuss anonymously online. You can see why this is a bad idea if you look at the USA today. Its best to discuss in person and do so calmly and rationally.
Remember chinese netizens have access to all the same information westerners do online. Many speak english, and a VPN is easy to use to go on other sites.
Also a lot of people dont seem to know how to complement someone. Complements are good, but only if you do them right. They are best done small, and casual at first. “Did you get a haircut? I like it.” “That (Article of clothing) looks great on you.” “You’re always so stylish.” Once youve got a few dates under your belt and the mutual interest is clear you can move on to things that are a bit more intimate. “Your eyes are beautiful.” “I love hearing you laugh.” “I always look forward to spending time with you.”
Notice nowhere in there did i put “Wow your so hot.” or anything like that. Thats boring. Meaningless. Stuff like that is fine if your having sex, and want something to say in the heat of the moment, but if you are trying to win someone over emotionally be more interesting. Just the simple fact you are interested in them makes it obvious you think they are physically attractive. You don’t need to hammer that point home over, and over again. Its fine to complement appearance, but have an angle. Actually notice things about the person.
Everything is situational. Complements especially, and they have multiple purposes. First of course is to express interest, and to make that person feel good about themselves. Most people understand that. But 2nd is to make it clear you are paying attention. Notice changes. Notice what doesnt change. If you like someone it shouldn’t be hard to do. Do they look a bit tired today? Sure would be nice if you’d been paying attention, and knew what type of coffee they like so you can buy it for them. Its not a hard thing to ask in casual conversation. “I prefer peppermint tea personally, what about you?” Then remember their answer. Then when you know what they like buy it, give it to them, and say “I was getting myself a drink, and figured I’d pick one up for you too.”
Do we need either type of sign? I mean this is lemmy we are all adults arent we? If you are interested in someone go up, greet them politely, ask how theyre doing, say “I was wondering if you’d want to grab lunch or something together, and get to know eachother?” after a bit of casual conversation. If they say no drop it. If they are interested even if busy theyll try to find time to do it. Nobody is that busy all the time. Or if they are they cant date anyway.
If they say yes go to lunch get to know eachother more, if you enjoy it and go out together again bring them a romantic gift of some kind to make sure you didnt miscommunicate about your intentions. Don’t play games, and guess and wonder. Be direct, but polite, and respect their decisions. If you are afraid to get rejected you’ve got 2 options. Get over it, or die alone. Always trying to compute in your head what someone else is thinking is gonna drive you crazy. Just live life.
We have no evidence anything happens after you die. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. If it makes you feel better to believe theres some afterlife waiting for you go for it. Just dont be a dick about it to other people. Keep it to yourself.
It does. If the masses decide something you said, did, made, etc is different than what you intended there isnt much you can do about it.
Yeah thats why i mentioned them saying it was proof of christianity specifically. A lot of christians refuse to aknowledge other religions being equally valid (or more so tbh for the older ones.)
Someone told me one time they believe in specifically the christian god because the world is so perfect, and i was like what fucking world are you living in and how do i get there?
UTC+08 Id be having a great time with all of China to explore.
I never used most of them. I quit reddit when genzedong went dark. Quit tiktok when the ads got more common a year ago or so. I still use a FOSS frontend to watch youtube videos does that count?
i just use web. phtn.app in the browser has a dark mode.
I have had the mullvad repo for months with no issues. Debian is actually one of their supported distros. If you tried to add their repo on mint for example it would work youd have to install it via a deb package.
Didnt really have anyone for it to ruin. I never cared about famous people. As for personal life relationships i have very few and the ones who support genocide were already pieces of shit before that anyway. Cant ruin somebody i already despise.
The only threat to a rich person is pissing off the other rich people.
Were just hairless apes trying to enjoy ourselves in this capitalist hellscape. Your right that either buying, or stealing treats is still enjoying a treat, but having an escape from things every now and then is fine. Even using lemmy itself is a form of escape. The important thing is to not let yourself be consumed by escapism. Moderation is key in all things.
Also artists still make content under capitalism. Its just that they arent the ones getting paid for their art when you buy it. Yes some things have propaganda or liberalized sentiment baked into them, but we shouldn’t let that stop us from enjoying things. People are not defined by the media they watch in their free time. People are not obligated to spend every waking moment reading theory, or keeping up on current events, or whatever either. Someone can enjoy art produced under capitalism and still oppose capitalism.
