just because it's trendy, doesn't mean it's good

That's the thing -- it's not online access only. More and more people are finding each other online and forming lasting relationships from it.

I currently live in a country where dating is extremely hard, especially so for the foreigners. Finding my people here just doesn't happen. Oh sure there are meetup groups, but that's a handful of people. Using a simple app like FB to find english-speaking people in your area who have a common interest? An extremely useful tool.

Well, naturally they have to deduct for uninsurable dream content like trees and sunshine. That kind of dangerous content needs to be distilled before it reaches you by choosing a secure dream provider. We're trying to protect children here.

That's fair. It does sound pretty good, shame that they hook you in like that. Thanks for the summary!

The best part is, for every 10 commercials you watch in your sleep, you get up to 1 dream back free at the end of the month!

There are some really nice people on FB and Insta. People who never had the time nor reason to realise that they're being advertised and exploited. People who will never join the Fediverse because they're happy with what they get from their current social.

If you're a single person, looking to meet new interesting people, you've just shut out 90% of the world.

Not unlimited. 6 months would raise eyebrows.

that's the thing, the school had a large kemalist majority, but they stayed quiet and let the fascists push them around and indoctrinate their kids

There were other kids waiting weren't there, but you never stopped

When I was in Turkish school we used to sing the istiklal marşı to the decapitated head of Ataturk like he was a god. A god who secularized the country. I was surrounded by some of the most miliyetci fascists I'd ever met in that school. I stopped going because of the nationalism, and my turkish got worse.

My ex is an Italian who grew up in Germany, and she went to an Italian school where they had a similar kind of fascism going on. She stayed, but not her brothers. Her Italian is fantastic.
