tell me again about the male loneliness epidemic? đ for a long time I've thanked the gods that I'm not datingâand now it's even worse
She left a date after 2 minutes when she recognized this tactic men use to âhumbleâ women â here's what to watch out for
her date told her the plan for their evening was a âsurpriseâ and specifically described the dress code as âcomfortable.â So she dressed accordingly: sweatpants, sweatshirt, sneakers, hair in a bun, no jewelry.
After they met up, she says, he tried to lead her straight into a fine dining restaurant. He was dressed appropriately for the venue, in a crisp white button-down shirt, looking like he had just had a fresh shave and haircut. She turned around and bailed immediately.
Why? Because her read of the situation right off the bat was that this wasn't a misunderstanding â it was an attempt to âlevel the playing fieldâ by embarrassing her on purpose.
Several people likened the move to scam emails that are obviously fake. The point isnât to convince everyone â itâs to quickly locate the people who will comply, second-guess themselves, and keep engaging. Basically, it's a filter.
What made the clip pop is the dater's refusal to do the emotional labor so many women have been trained to perform. She didn't even ask for an explanation. She just left, got herself fast food, and blocked him immediately. "You showed me who you were,â she says. âYou donât have to show me twice.â
Commenters cheered that energy not just as a clapback (although that too), but as a safety practice: Get out early, donât escalate, donât negotiate with someone whoâs already demonstrated a taste for control.
When my wife moved in, I learned that she had a lot of anxiety around trying new foods because she was fearful of allergic reactions. I didn't get it at the time, but after all of the food poisoning I've dealt with in recent years, I now have similar anxiety. :(
Oddly enough, I don't recall getting food poisoning almost at all prior to 2020. :/
President Donald Trump Struggles on Stairs After Appearing to Slur His Words
As US President Donald Trump returned to the White House for the first time this year, he was filmed stepping off Air Force One. And seemingly, having trouble as he did so. In the video, Trump slowly descended the staircase off the plane, pausing halfway through and maintaining a strong grip on the railing the entire time.
Ironically, this is something Trump previously criticised Joe Biden for. âEvery day, the guyâs falling down stairs,â Trump told military generals last year, per The Daily Beast. âIâm very careful. You know, when I walk downstairs â like Iâm on stairs, like these stairs â I walk very slowly.â
Trump went on: âJust walk nice and easy. You donât have to set any record.â
The US Presidentâs apparent struggle with the stairs comes just days after he was accused of slurring his words in a press conference about his controversial involvement in Venezuela.

#greenland #trump #canada January 6, 2026 I posted this 9 months ago. I now include Canada and other counties that the Trump government wants to take over.
Greenland and Denmark should inform the Trump Administration to remove all US military personnel from their land - immediately. And, take all US weapons with them.
Trump's vision of a U.S. superpower that could assert its military might to conquer the Western Hemisphere is frankly terrifying. Basically it's American imperialism rebranded.
Concerns over fleet of US military planes arriving at UK bases
Arrival of a fleet of #US #military planes at several #UK bases since the attack on #Venezuela has been branded âdeeply concerningâ.
Ten C-17 #Globemasters and two heavily armed #AC-130J landed at #RAF #Fairford in Gloucestershire and at RAF #Mildenhall in Suffolk in recent days, according to The Daily Mail.
These aircraft often join forces in #covert US operations overseas.
They've been destroying their search engines to force us to use AI instead, but all it's done is make me ask people for help instead. They're shooting themselves in the foot here because if I think to ask people first, I won't even use their search engines! :P
I really want to set up a #Meshtastic / #Meshcore router with a wired Ethernet backhaul. The idea is to have the router and its antenna outdoors, but run the cable indoors to our home network. Any suggestions?
Meshtastic there are hardware options with wired ethernet instead of wifi (there is a rak esp32 option), the pakets can transferred over to an local mqtt server and from there over your lan to the mobile app,
Or to an local running linux native meshtasticD service on a computer.
In the newer firmware there is the UDP option where no mqtt is involved too. Then you need a second node (hardware or meshtasticD service) for your client side needs.
For meshcore there is no such option beside getting a raspi in the outside enclosure too and tunnel the usb serial interface through your network, or play with experimental wifi firmware and app, but no native ethernet.
You could try socat or ser2net to get serial data over ip network, with a linux based endpoint on the other end, like a second raspberry.
The esp-based serial to wifi firmwares (running on a second esp8266 board) was not 8-bit binary transparent, as i searched for this last time for 3d printer use. So this doesnt work.
I have had the UDP connection by accident working, but not the other things. It look like the meshtastic firmware had a lot of troubles on esp32 platform with wifi, but worked stable on version 2.5.23 I dont tried ethernet over cables but others said it run on their hardware
it is quite possible to have two MC nodes plugged into R-Pi or analog, each running meshcore (eg python) listening to the node, and talking over the net to each other.
i run a bot on the #olybot channel, and it is "easy enough" to have it talk to another set up elsewhere.
