If the user has indicated that they are not interested in new features, it means they do not care about new features. They don't want to know about them, or they prefer to find out proactively in their own time. If you still insist on ramming notifications down their throat at that point, you're not doing it for the user. You're doing it for yourself.

In a world without dark design patterns, there would be a single pop-up when you first install the application, to ask if you want notifications and/or suggestions for new features. If you click "no", it should never bother you again unless you go into a menu and opt in. Anything beyond that is inherently predatory.

Ideally, that pop-up wouldn't even exist. They could just have a collective "don't bother me again" checkbox on every non-essential notification, so you can easily disable it the first time they become relevant. If your user has already indicated that they are not interested, any further pestering is essentially harassment.

Yeah, exactly - that's what I mean. Hypothetically, if 50% of the violence done by women involves men, then the 82% is really more like 91%, and the violence attributed to women starts to look more and more like a rounding error. This meme is getting more rational all the time. It's almost like bringing statistics into it does nothing but present a lame fig leaf to cover up the underlying, endemic problem that inspired the meme in the first place.

It also makes me curious what percentage of that 18% was directed towards men as opposed to women. All that would be left in this hypothetical is women-on-women violence, so anything else should be discounted for a fair comparison.

I've occasionally dreamt about doing this with a bar. I picture it like the sitcom Black Books, but with booze instead of books.

Never said they were anything like the same. Just that neither of them had done anything particularly worthy of a Nobel peace prize. As you say, every American president in the past century would have gotten one, were that the case.

Oh, for sure. I'm not saying they should have given one to Obama. That and Kissinger are why it's not completely unthinkable that Trump might actually get one somehow.

The deal thing is a smokescreen. The real reason he's upset is that he badly and urgently wants to end a war. It's the only chance in hell he'd ever get a Nobel peace prize, and in his delusional mind, he's still competing with Obama.

That's a Hunter S. Thompson quote.

Riding is unaffected, it's only hang gliding that got removed. But it makes just as little sense in that context. None of this patent trolling is justifiable, Nintendo is just using the broken Japanese patent law system to crush competition from smaller companies making better games.

Most closeted thing I've ever heard.

Eugenics is from the conservatives' book.

 

I just took my first dose of HRT today, and wanted to celebrate by giving something back to this community, which has been so helpful! ❤️

For context, the first two verses practically wrote themselves the first time I read about the effects of estrogenic second puberty in the Gender Dysphoria Bible. When they still hadn't left my brain a few weeks later, I sat down, polished it a bit, and put the rest together. I hope it will amuse! 😁



Title: Wouldn't it be Lovel-E?
Tune: Wouldn't it be Loverly? (from My Fair Lady)


Some folks they dream of riches, want to win the lottery, hmm
While others lust for glory in their field of mastery, hmm
Or want to save the world by curing every ill they see, hmm, mmm
Wouldn't it be lovely?


All I want is a derrière
Shapely hips and a lot of hair
But only way up there
Oh, wouldn't it be lovel-E?

Lots of chocolate for me to eat
Estrogen makes it taste so sweet
Warm core, cold hands, cold feet
Oh, wouldn't it be lovel-E?

Oh so lovely taking hormones 'til I've had my fill
Oh, the changes they would bring
But spare me the doctor's bill

Soft skin and sensitivity
Plus enhanced flexibility
Endowments mammary
Oh, wouldn't it be lovel-E?
Lovely
HRT
All for me
Lovel-E
