Someone asking to see my YouTube recommendations is a good test for red flags, too. I’m not interested in a relationship with someone who will judge me based on an algorithm.

[-] johny@feddit.org 75 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

A party is indeed the time and place where no jokes are made ever, no alcohol is involved, no cheesy flirting techniques occur, and everything is meant a 100% seriously always.

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 14 points 2 months ago

Good point. I would have had to be there to see what the mood was like. She could have been funny as hell, and I’m just not picking it up from this tweet.

Edit: I just watched the video. It’s only about 8 minutes long. A great combination of funny and interesting. Recommended!

The algorithm sucks anyway. I have to clear my cookies every couple days because all my recommendations starts to turn into weird manosphere stuff and DBZ videos. Sprinkled with a small amount of shit from channels I have watched recently.

[-] AFaithfulNihilist@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

What is the reason for these two things to get grouped up and shoved down my feed? I'm a life long and very public activist for medical financial aid programs, public housing, sexual wellness, free kindergarten, hot meals, direct aid, take back the night, ada accomodations, needle exchanges, loan forgiveness, and just about every humane cause I know of. My viewing history is about as antithetical to Tate's small dick energy as I can imagine and the anime I watch is more likely to be weird surreal stuff like Tengoku Daimakyou than some 50th year of dragon Ball

How does my feed switch from normal shorts to the incel only feed?!

I’ve found that being really aggressive with my not interested/do not recommends keeps it down (but not absent). In my case I assume they pop up because I like watching history and gaming videos, even though I go out of my way to avoid anyone who’s dog whistle-y or chuddy.

Most of my browser history, youtube and podcast recommendations etc. are benign.

My fear is when they ask the question "when does VR Porn become cheating?" Because I don't think anyone can answer that one honestly and the way one would expect.

Like my brain would say "when you can smell it" but that leads down a lot of other questions that scare me.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

IMO if you ever ask someone whether porn is cheating, you should probably be put into an asylum and studied, because i cannot for the life of me figure out why someone would give a shit, unless it's a shared mutual agreement between two parties, in which case, you probably wouldn't ask that question.

It's almost as insane as asking whether or not touching your dick counts as masturbation or not.

Not even the wackiest scenario he's done.

Bro legit took this one incredibly seriously and talked about the consequences of having to explain sudden freak accident deaths to pre-schoolers and how conspiracy theories would proliferate about Reagan being responsible because supposedly he had pushed for the launch to stay on schedule even when issues came up because the plan was for him to make s phone call to the crew of the ship from the SotU address that year.

Basically Reagan would go down in pop culture canon as being the man who murdered big bird, and whatever consequences that sprung from that would be the biggest shift vs present timeline instead of the obvious fact that big bird would be canonically dead since all the normal viewers would have seen him go up in a fireball and die.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 months ago

Nah he's a bird,he could fly on outta there. A little singed, maybe, if he dawdled

[-] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Allegedly, he screamed "wildcard, bitches" before kicking the door and jumping out.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

Classic Big Bird

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

So what you are saying is that we would have flying cars and free healthcare if Big Bird had died in the Space Shuttle?

[-] tourist@lemmy.world 52 points 2 months ago

perhaps it would serve humanity greatly if I do not reproduce

[-] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 51 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm so happy to be out of the dating phase of my life. I wouldn't stand a chance with my tinfoil hat settings like deactivated recommendations, ad- and js-blocking and auto-deleting all cookies when closing a tab.

[-] sparkle@lemm.ee 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

What do you mean women don't like a FOSS privacy-oriented user experience? Don't they like going through 500 pages of documentation when Gentoo breaks only to realize all along that the problem was fixed by turning the computer off and on again?

What do you mean men don't like that either?? What kind of place is this?!

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

auto-deleting all cookies when closing a tab.

You know, I would never use auto-delete cookies because I want to stay logged into sites. However I do wish there was an extension or something that would delete all cookies except for manually whitelisted sites. Then random news websites wouldn't be able to easily track all my visits, but I could stay logged into sites.

What you want is a feature that all Firefox based browser have. I am not sure about chromium based but ik that brave also have it.

It turns out it’s harder to meet a privacy-conscious partner but they really do exist in large numbers. Back in my day the dating scene for this type was the weed dealer’s house/apartment, but now that it’s legal I don’t know what the replacement is. Probably ren fairs or lighter hobbies like kite flying meetups lol.

I actually have YouTube history turned off and rarely if ever watch something that I'm not subscribed to, namely, a maths nerd, two tech channels, some musical people and the guy who makes sausages.

My red flag would be telling her “fuck off creepy stranger”

[-] Logical@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Next time I talk to a girl at a party, I'm gonna ask to see her browser history "because it's a good test for red flags." Judging someone by what they watch or read is stupid. Judging someone by what YT thinks they would like to watch is even worse. I know this is completely besides the point, and it is just a meme, but judgy behavior like that irks me.

[-] SpaceCadet@feddit.nl 17 points 2 months ago

I think the question is rather forward for a girl you just met at a party, but at the same time I think someone's youtube recommendations would be a good indicator of some obvious red flags that someone may want to consciously hide from a prospective partner. For example, if someone's feed is full of alt right/joe rogan/incel crap, or for women, full of FDS crap, you're damn right I'm gonna judge.

You're correct. Judging people based on an algorithm your have no way of knowing is indeed a red flag ma'am.

Pseudo-Spirituality is a good thing to look out for

The amount of guys who think the seventh principle of Hermeticism is a reason to be a sexist dick...

Edit: For the record, it's gender. The idea that Gender must be kept in balance.. I've actually seen incels say that they don't get laid because they let too much "Feminine energy" into their lives, and they need to "Man up" and "Reject these new fangled woke ideals"

The Seventh Principle is keeping Gender in balance WITHIN YOURSELF, embracing both your masculine and feminine traits. As an occultist it just pisses me off when I see fucking these pseudo-spiritual dickbags qouting the Seventh Principle to do the OPPOSITE and just double down on being toxic edgelords.

It's almost worse then the white girls who claim to be an expert on life after death because they had glow-in-the-dark star stickers on their ceiling as a kid.
