I've met this person and we texted for a while for a couple of weeks. I even asked if we could go out on our own to have a coffee together, and she accepted, but asked for some time to sort things out on her life (I know that she was studying for a difficult selection for a public position. Plus, she's a single mom). But I realized that I was starting and maintaining our interactions every single time. So I decided to give her some space, just to see if she would talk back to me. A day became a week, which became a month, and no sign of her. Did I ghosted her inadvertently, or she wasn't interested in the first place, or she's probably having too much happening in her life and I should be more supportive?

Fuck around and find out, bozo.

Brazilian fascist deputies Mario Frias and Eduardo Bolsonaro (this last one the son of former fascist president Jair Bolsonaro and currently on the run and receiving help from the U.S. government), both from São Paulo state, published this picture of them with Trump on his X account. Frias' caption reads "take the children out of the room!", while the quoting xweet reads "what a caption choice huh".

Frias, a former teenage telenovela heartthrob turned into a hack then turned into fascist thug, was the former secretary of culture during Bolsonaro's government and was elected deputy representing São Paulo state in 2022, with about 122k votes, or 0,52% of all valid votes.

well, so much for west's moral superiority.

erdogan is a cuck.

boooooooooooooooy...

My two cents: this whole war began to oppose Russia's meddling with Donetsk and Luhansk, and now the whole country belongs to the US. And still there's no guarantee that they're gonna get those two oblasts and Crimea back.

Honestly, if Ukraine was to be plundered by Russia, EU and the US, the best move was to bring Makhno back from the dead anyway. Or go red.

You find someone interesting on Instagram (or Tinder/happn/Bumble if they left their IG handle there), though their profile is restricted. You add that person, which accepts you, sometimes after two or three months. You leave a private message to that person, thanking it for accepting you as a follower, and asking if it wants to talk. Then, silence. Or worse yet, exchanges a few phrases and then ghosts you out of nowhere, without explanation or if you didn't said anything rude.

I mean, no one owes anyone anything in a situation like that, of course, but why bother opening a pathway in the first place, instead of just refusing? And if you find that other not really interesting after some conversation, though not really creepy or weird or over-the-top, why not be polite and say "look, this is not going to work, I don't want to talk to you anymore" or "this thing you said is a red flag for me, bye, take care"?

What bothers me is like, don't we talk anymore like normal people are supposed to? Have personal connections become so disposable like that? Or am I just freaking out and perhaps just need to find out somewhere in the real world where I could bond more easily with real people?

Pretty straightforward: what tips and advice would you give me if I were to start an open source project of a game? Where to share my intention of beginning this project, where to find contributors, how to organize the workflow etc.
