This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Rules:

No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel

I feel like dating apps have set this weird precedent where you meet someone and you immediately have to decide whether they're someone you want to date/ ave a relationship with or if they're someone that you want to be friends with but in my experience the people that I've dated have typically been people I was friends with and then it kind of naturally just becomes a little more romantic and a little less platonic.

I can't help but feel like that was how it was before online dating became the norm.. You know, you become friends with a woman/man, and then maybe it becomes a little more than that, and if it doesn't, I don't see why you still can't be friends. Just make it very clear that if one party isn't interested in the same way as the other party, it's up to that other party to come to terms with that, and as long as that other party can come to terms with that and move on and not be like, "well, you know, you're the only one for me", then I don't see what's wrong with this logic.
