I think this is a needlessly combative stance. If your goal is to get new users to engage with the development side, calling their criticism “bitching” isn’t going to do that. Most software users don’t have the first clue about software development and wouldn’t even know what exactly to say if given a suggestion form. The best feedback a lot of new users can give is “the user experience is clunky and unintuitive”.

Personally, I think influencer/hustle culture, parasocial relations, personal “brands” are a rot on society coming from the worst parts of capitalism. The influencer benefits from alienation and I think that’s wrong. I don’t think an OF model is any worse than any other influencer. I also think a lot of OF models didn’t feel they had many options when they started. But the really successful ones could get out or be less parasocial or something.

I mostly don’t. Maybe this isn’t the kind of answer you were interested in. I think memorable experiences are transient and are more beautiful the more fleeting they are. The more I try to immortalize some moment, the less I feel I’m able to enjoy it in the moment. There are some exceptions. I keep recipes in Google keep. Most of them I just know how to make but I might need my memory jogged for a measurement or temp setting. I also have a small notebook I use as a gym journal. “Journalling” seems like a stretch for the chicken-scratch numbers, though. It’s mostly so I know how much weight to use next time I go.

It doesn’t matter. Nobody is going to be convinced by anything you say. The protesters won’t be especially hurt by a really good burn. You could yell gibberish into the megaphone. The important thing is that you are there, loudly showing your support for the drag queens.

Is this trolling? I’ve never heard any of these fake quotes.

I’ve never been a big fragrance guy. When I found out about people like you, I decided to just go fragrance free. If it’s not a big deal to me and it gives a few people headaches to be near me, might as well just not do it. There are some tangential benefits. My deodorant irritates my armpits less now. My hair oil used to irritate my skin if it got on my forehead. Now it doesn’t.
