How heterosexual couples met in the US
  • Sorry, yes this was not specifically meant for you, English is not my first language and it is missing a word to adress unspecified persons, which I have in my language, so I had to use "you" instead.

  • I am in a happy relationship since before dating apps became popular, so I don't have first-hand experience, but that would be my last choice for finding a partner. For me, meeting someone has always been a matter of circumstance. I never went anywhere with the idea of meeting friends or a partner, so somehow everything just happened by itself and I have a great partner and great friends. I would say you should just follow your interests and try to be happy with yourself, then the rest will come by itself (of course it's easier if you go to a sports club instead of doing sports with your favorite youtuber or take a pottery class instead of reading a book at home if you have the vague goal of making new acquaintances). Plus openness, honesty and a bit of humor will get you further than any dating app, I'd say.

  • FCC proposes 60-day unlocking rule for all mobile phones
  • What does this locking do? Where I live every online vendor offers to pay by installments which addresses the issue that people could not afford the upfront price, why do the phones have to be locked in the US?

  • Not OP, but the usual reply I see is, because dating companies are incentivized to keep you on their app, not get you a happy relationship, so you need to go through hundreds of dates and thousands of rejections, which can be mentally taxing.

  • People who started learning a second language, how has it made you aware how broken English is ?
  • And then you also have different meanings depending on pronunciation, here some examples:

    • umfahren: to drive around something or to run over something

    • Montage: the act of assembling or the plural of Monday

    • übersetzen: to ferry across a river or to translate into another language

    • umschreiben: to rewrite or to paraphrase

    • durchschauen: to look through something or to understand

    • unterstellen: to place something underneath or to imply or accuse someone of something

    • unterhalten: to hold something underneath or to support or to converse with someone or to entertain

    • wiederholen: to fetch something back or to repeat something

  • As a native German speaker, I really dislike the formality levels and hope someday everyone uses the informal level. In a big company it's really annoying to start with the formal level and then awkwardly switching to informal level when contacting someone for the first time.

  • Baldur’s Gate 3 mod update will be Larian’s ‘final handover’ to players
  • Yeah, BG4 is dead on arrival for me, but on the other hand I am glad Larian continues to exist and does not have to bow to some corporate entity. Instead of BG4, I am looking forward to their next project then. And even if they would do BG4, it's hard to top BG3, so I can understand moving on to a new project without fan expectations other than the high regard for Larian.

  • Is it a good idea to use KDE plasma on linux mint?
  • I never installed Linux myself, only used it for a bit, so what do you have to do to not be a complete noob? This is only a half serious question, but what do you think you have to do, to be a proficient Linux user? This sounds a bit like when I got my master's degree and did not have the feeling that I know anything or have learned valuable skills, but to someone with only a high school diploma I would look rather proficient.

  • Wild New Study Suggests Gravity Can Exist Without Mass
  • I am not an expert either, but maybe by something like this? Maybe we see two images of the same galaxy but nothing obstructing our view to explain the gravitational lensing, so maybe it's topological defects?

  • Best Buy is laying off more employees as it reckons with falling sales
  • As a German I would hate that from the bottom of my heart. Why is this necessary? When I go shopping in a supermarket here I'm lucky if I find an employee I can ask and outside the checkout they're always busy stocking the shelves. But that's not a bad thing, you can usually find everything quickly yourself and I prefer to have my peace when shopping. It's already enough for me that the store is full of other people who are also shopping.
