    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.

      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.

        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!

    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.

        Guilty.

        Having no actual presence on social media is considered “creepy” by modern social standards, instead of what I view it as: more secure.

            Forums are not social media. How is this hard to understand. Forums have existed for decades longer than social media and if you include forums in the definition of social media then you literally by definition include every comment section on every blog, news site, and even things like the FCC request for comments from citizens.

            It’s absolutely idiotic to include forums in that definition. You make the definition so wide as to be useless.

              People have gotten confused and declared that any internet based activity that involves interaction is social media. Social media is centered on users (you follow other people, not topics, and people for whatever crazy reason use their real name), whereas there is absolutely no real reason to do that on a forum.

            I meant no actual presence on mainstream social media where I’m not using a pseudonym, and exchange profiles with the general public that I meet.

          Same, but you were talking about NewPipe. I assume you use that on your phone.

          And while you can disable the search history there, too, it often is convenient not to have to type the name of that thing you want to listen to while you’re driving, so many people leave it enabled.

    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.

    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.
