20 years ago somebody told me that installing Gentoo would make my computer performant enough to run video games. I no longer play video games, but I have been using GNU/Linux variants ever since.

I live in Europe and the whole post resonated hard with me. Not sure in which lala land you live in.
Nah, this was super common when I was growing up. We all used to commute by motorcycle, even though we had a family car. We did wear helmets. I know it's still common all over the world. I'm laughing now, cause my mother was super protective when I was inside the house, but of course riding on a motorcycle with a cheap plastic helmet was no worry for her. We thankfully never had an accident.
Not a denier, but people fear the immediate costs. It's not clear what meaningful climate action looks like. But realistically it would very likely mean a higher cost of living in the immediate future, because not all economic sectors can be trivially decarbonized. There are also possible immediate benefits. But in any case that's what people fear.
Women like not being approached by men they don't find attractive, but women also like being appreciated and approached by men they find attractive. And you can never know in which group you fall. And if you just always do what other people desire, you will never get anywhere in life.
You can still do that, but as rsuri says, you cannot be so direct. It's too confrontational and girls don't really appreciate that. You have to invent some plausibly deniable reason to start a conversation. This also gives the girl an out if she is not really interested. Then you just allude to your interest in her, which don't worry she will pick up on immediately. At some point you will either hear, "... and my bf and I" or you hear nothing of that genre. At the end you can ask for a number. That's not exactly the end of the story. Most of the time, the conversation continues through text only for her to drop you before a date is planned. But it's in any case a way better experience than Tinder, unless you're some hunk who can write "6'4" on Tinder and get 100+ matches.
Users upvoting/downvoting leads to a hivemind, even if the moderation is not complicit (which it often is).
he's an old man, who finally enjoyed some success late in life, let him enjoy his last days in peace ffs.
