There are much simpler ways to ensure data integrity without resorting to blockchain.

All we need to do is simply put this out as a torrent and provide a hash. That's it. Easy.

At 51% attack cannot succeed if you're not using blockchain to begin with. So why take the risk?

Every solution is a hammer isn't it?

I broke my toe last week, how can Blockchain help with that?

I mean why is it even on a website? It's just text right. Just do a dump and set it as a sead.

I mean we can do it with movies easily enough.

You know that guy that died from eating all of the big Macs. There is no justice in the world there really isn't.

I have this issue with my soundbar on my TV. The volume has to be like 95% or it's too quiet. But if you disconnect the soundbar and just use the TV speakers you get absolutely blasted out of the room by normal speech.

Measuring sound as percentages is meaningless.

Nope. I've just turned my volume up to max settings and then kept my finger on the button nothing comes up it just stops increasing in volume.

I feel left out, like Android doesn't care about me.

I think people's biggest fear with paying for the apps is that they'll end up in a situation where they are just throwing good money after bad and not getting anything for it. Then you get into the sunk cost fallacy and it's really difficult to get yourself out of that headspace.

The problem is the apps say that they have recommendations that you only have to pay to unlock but I don't believe them.

Yeah and they all suck as a result.

I keep meaning to have a proper look into it and see if there are any actual dating site / apps that are independent. It's a massive pain because usually you can't really tell if an app is going to be any good or if it's just another clone until after you've already signed up. It's quite the time investment.

There are of course things like hobby clubs you can join but you have to get lucky with those. There risk that you will just be distracted and end up with an expensive hobby.

Yeah but that's not dating that's a hookup. Completely different ball game. Much easier to maintain a facade for a couple of days when both parties know that there is no potential for relationship.

Actual dating requires you to maintain for the long haul.

So if a person struggles with confidence your solution is for them to stand upon stage? There seems to be an important first step that seems to have been skipped.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
