Lucky.

It’s not “everywhere”, it’s the public service part of society. Never have I complained about, for instance, how well my food comes out at a restaurant, or how good the car mechanics here are (imagine a society where cars have overall better doctors than people and where this can be compared). It’s always the everyday “mandatory” people in society. So I can say it’s not a problem with myself.

I’m pretty sure public sector performability is objectively measurable as opposed to assholery. I’m not strictly talking about that, I mean people literally doing what their contract or job description promises.

That’s considered a soap opera?

Yeah, just free love.

A hypothetical question.

Your friend refers to LGBTQIA as referring to “aspects of non-cisgendered life” and it makes me doubt their understanding of the community because there are plenty of cisgendered people within the community

Her comment doesn’t do it justice, no. Neither does the screenshot, there was a whole conversation involved which added context to her phrasing it like that.

Let us not forget, autism plays a role in dating too. Many people with autism have a hard time dating because, for example, they might have hyperfixations that narrow their interests to a few strong interests, or they may have trouble knowing what things to say. Some people unfortunately can be split between those whose romantic standards are too high for those with autism and people who have lower standards but who often have these lower standards because they fall in that category.

Once upon a time, I took a Communist Manifesto out of my local library, which I later discovered was a fake, and one of the tenets called for communal hooking-up.

If I may ask, why do they require you to be a resident of your city? I work at a library and we allow universal access. We don’t even ask for library cards anymore.

In such a system, people would still have their own devices that can connect wirelessly to a library, even from outside the building (people who live immediately near the library I work at get free wireless internet, at least from 10 to 8), it’s only the signal that would come mainly from the library.

Another factor that comes to mind that I forgot to mention in my other replies is that the internet comes from undersea cables that are long enough to wrap around the Earth 180 times, which then enters into servers which then enters into cable lines which then reaches peoples’ houses, and these are all an absolute hassle to maintain, both because of wildlife attacking them (yeah, a single fish can take out a country’s internet) as well as bad actors, and on the cable side, bad weather can take them out. The service strain would be a lot less if we didn’t try to put too much on our plates, allowing more maintenance to be maintained.

That much is true, but if it’s done strictly like that, it would ruin the point.

You do realize adult content can be printed or watched on TV, right?

When I was younger, I used my radio.

So my reasoning is for a few reasons. The internet is the largest source of knowledge. People use it for things such as research, homework, chatting, entertainment, expression, art, debate, and uploading content. We currently exist in a world where there are as many personal devices with internet as there are devices with clocks. For many, the internet is a form of escapism, and there’s a lot of escaping going on. That I think would be a good idea to channel so, one, its usage isn’t willy-nilly, two, misinformation and conflict doesn’t run amuck in the digital sphere, three, it would give social incentive, and four, it would give value to knowing things (as in, before the internet, you were considered learned if you knew something, but nowadays, it’s impossible for someone to know something everyone else already has the potential to know, since the knowledge is at everyone’s fingertips, which isn’t a bad thing on its own but takes away from any individual advantage of knowing things not easily learnable). There are places out there that want to ban the internet entirely, mostly authoritarian countries as well as some cults, and this I absolutely disagree with, especially as a librarian, and I also figure it might be a good middle ground to pacify urges to outright ban the internet, especially as society is getting numb, knowledge is taken for granted, and people are getting too carried away. It’s no different from proposing something such as us all living in communal housing.

Thanks for not downvoting then.

That’s got to be the nicest looking pool gym I’ve ever seen.

But why have two pools?

You mean like what Peewee Herman tried to do?

Thanks friend.

The first one. Or perhaps it shouldn’t be illegal but rather discouraged in some way.

Wait, it would? My local library’s biggest demographic is disabled people.
