It seems that a lot of people have this problem when they're into someone but do not know if the feeling is mutual, and do not want to ask to avoid being seen as creepy. So it could be that two persons are into each other but each is afraid of saying that in case it is not returned, and it leads to lost opportunities to both.

But I have a partial solution to that problem: https://t.me/MutualSympathyBot

I wonder if anybody out there has an open position they need to fill?

I have 10+ years of experience developing software in C#/.NET and Node/JS/TS/React, but at this point I'm willing to consider basically anything software engineering-related as long as the people are nice.

Especially if it's in Berlin and especially if it involves Rust or Elixir, but anything else would be great too!

And so the freedom of expression as a core principle of liberal democracy boils down to the following:

One from a privileged group can promote hatred and xenophobia towards already-marginalized group.

One from a marginalized group cannot take offense at that.

And one from a marginalized group cannot speak up against government's foreign policy.

And all people from a marginalized group are ignorant and ill-manered.

Such is a liberal democracy apparently.

Apparently it is a swimming season now

Unpopular opinion.
Just that someone opposes USA does not make them a good person.
Just that some ruler opposes USA does not mean they're not a dictator, does not mean they do not oppress their own people, and does not mean people don't have a right to rise against that dictator.

Not sure why it is unpopular. I thought it is so obvious that it should go without saying.

A mother is always a mother. When she's not with her children, she's motherly with other fresh people, helping them to navigate the world, and always offering her warm and homely embrace and support.

Today is the day when I remember how much of a guilty pleasure that Turkish popular music can be.

Cool, LinkedIn for some reason decided that I live in Ukraine, of all places.

I would understand Russia (some of my contacts), or Finland (my IP address), or Germany, obviously (my phone number, my explicitly entered location). But Ukraine?

Wow, someone approached me on LinkedIn with their opportunity to participate in capitalism. That's the first contact this year.

(Also apparently it helps to build a network of connections there, so if you would like to connect with me on linkedin 👉👈)

So, one does not _have_ to interact with other people unless they feel like that, and there are private bathrooms and kitchens, and I think this should remove a lot of potential conflict.

Every person has their unit. If several people feel like that they could move together into someone's unit, but still there will always be an option to separate safely, and that should also remove a lot of potential conflict.

Are there any places modeled in such a way?

Sure, queer catgirl WG sounds nice.

But consider this:
Every single person in a commune has their own private bedroom, with a private storage, kitchen and bathroom (that's important). It does not have to be large, I think 20qm is enough.
And then there are common spaces - communal kitchen, lounge, coworking, hacker space, etc. But one does not _have_ to use these communal spaces if they're not in socializing mood right now, their own unit is self-sufficient.

(CC @elilla and @aurora I think?)

OK I guess we'll have to wait a bit more and to have a dirty millet with overcooked dates, overcooked figs, nuts and harnup pekmezi then

TFW you mistake millet for couscous and realize it only when it's too late and everything that couscous dish was supposed to have is already added to it
