Been a bit longer than usual due to holidays, editing lurgy, as well as a truly fantastic amount of actionable threats and libel that needed to get removed before this one was podsafe for all audiences: https://twitter.com/PraxisCast/status/1296440573566623745?s=20 Definitely not promising anything about more timely deliveries but we'll do what we can.

Given the sheer alienation from anything but working and consuming society's already obsessed with, I do wonder what kind of even-worse death cults will emerge as a result of COVID causing a generation to grow up completely unused to in-person contact with strangers. Maybe we should think about what to do with about that problem now? Eh, whatever. Not like it matters compared to

I met my wife on IRC and my partner found me through online gaming. I don't know where I'd even start with online dating, it seems like a huge risk especially if you're not a cis 20 year old looking for hookups? So it's one of those things I just accepted I've never done and probably never will, like using BitTorrent.

Isomermaid posted:I met my wife on IRC and my partner found me through online gaming. Online dating is fundamentally almost the exact same as "meeting someone through IRC , talked to them there first before meeting in person." Only you have to put up a photo first. I found online dating much better than trying to chat up people through work/at pubs because 1) You knew the person was already interested and (probably single) so you didn't feel like a creep. 2) You had to talk to them in advance so you had a vague idea of what the person's interests were. Would recommend online dating. What I would not recommend is doing what I did on my first date. Which was we agreed to go for pizza for our first date. Since she is coeliac she said to go to Manifestinos a coeliac friendly Italian restaurant. I read it as Manifestos a similar coeliac friendly Italian restaurant that was about 1 KM's away. So I arrive at a nearly empty place with only three pensioners inside thinking I am being Catfished, and she is in a different restaurant thinking she has been stood up. After one confused phone call, I drive down and finally arrive at the right Italian restaurant only a mere 30 minutes late for my first date. That being said while I started out poorly I did recover a bit and even got to drive her home. (When she made a joke about hoping I wasnt an axe murderer I knew we were on the same wavelength. ) The Question IRL fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Aug 20, 2020 |

Jedit posted:At least 50% of people who get married marry their wife. I mean, no I think your wife is actually the one person you almost certainly can't marry, because they aren't your wife when you marry them because if they were you wouldn't have to, and I don't think you can double marry the same person without a divorce happening first, either theologically or linguistically. Edge case is if you marry your wife to somebody else, in the sense that you officiate, but I suspect that is rare outside of an enthusiastic if niche category on pornhub.

He's a contractor and virtually every client he has always forgets the dot in the first few e-mails they send. I'm essentially the guy's secretary now forwarding e-mails to him. He's got a very good case for multiple breaches of GDPR considering some of the stuff I've received by mistake. Then there's the guy who had the same name, lived in the same town, and worked in a very similar field to me. That was interesting.
