Not sure, if you’re actually looking for an explanation or rather just want to rant and/or hope for dating tips, but maybe still helpful to be aware of:

With your specific expectations, you’re somewhere to the far left or far right, whichever way you want to read it.
For example, this graph could be applied to alcohol consumption, with 0 on the left and lots on the right. Then you’re on the far left.

The Y-axis shows how many people exist in that range. There’s some median alcohol consumption, which is going to be in the center of this diagram, where most people are. At 0 alcohol consumption, there’s very few people, because it’s an extreme.

Obviously, this simplifies a lot. In a real survey, there’s probably actually somewhat of a bump at 0 alcohol, because certain religions prohibit consumption.
But yeah, in general, you’re hoping for relatively many extremes, so the number of people that match that are quite low. You will naturally get magnitudes more romantic interest from Average Joes, because there’s just magnitudes more of them.

As somebody else already said, try to find groups that naturally attract folks from the extremes that you look for, like outdoor sports groups.
Online dating, as problematic as it is, can also be rather good at finding very specific extremes.

You can’t generally just add license terms to an open-source license. At that point, it is not anymore an open-source license, but rather your own custom (a.k.a. proprietary) license.

As in, there’s a list of license texts that are approved by the Open Source Initiative and you don’t really want to deviate from that. (There’s also a list by the Free Software Foundation for the more freedom-loving among us, which is rather similar and also valid.)

This also has larger legal implications. There’s been lawsuits for open-source licenses, to which you can point and tell a company to fuck off, if they do a similar violation. As soon as you start adding own terms, there can be contradictions and just generally surface to attack.

In particular also, most code exists in the form of libraries. If you’re a library and you want users, you do want to stick to the well-known licenses, because no one wants to deal with each library having different custom terms (considering you can easily end up using hundreds of libraries in an application).

The old “tomatoes are not a vegetable” is pretty frustrating. They are a vegetable.

In botanical terms, the concept of a vegetable does not exist, which is where tomatoes are classified as fruits. But in culinary terms, vegetables do exist and tomatoes are classified as such.

I just find it frustrating, because I believed that garbage myself at some point, and I thought, I was smart for knowing that.
Just one of those examples that you can easily spread misinformation, so long as you make it sound plausible.

Oh man, if not someone else would’ve also mentioned Spongebob, I would’ve been really on the fence whether you’re just making a elaborate joke or not…

Well, Bethesda isn’t actually involved in that, so it’ll be of much higher quality either way…

Every so often, I’ll listen to this song, because it’s just piano + ambient sounds of public transport, and that takes me back to when I used to regularly take the train.

Wouldn’t particularly recommend it, though. 😅
You can tell that it’s an instrumental track with the vocals missing.

Here’s the song with vocals: https://www.joshwoodward.com/song/SymmetryandthePocketofAngels

I certainly like other songs from the guy better, though…

I expected that response. 😅

Unfortunately, I didn’t save it, because it wasn’t amazing or anything. It’s in some random internet comment, and I have no idea how one would find it… 🫠

Interesting, I didn’t know there was actually a guy kind of famous for that. These days, it always feels like a bit of a meme, like,

 oh

      i wrote my text in a way that
   made you read it different
        now its

A few years ago, I saw some online discussion where multiple folks were saying you can’t write a beautiful poem about spiders, for whatever reason. At that point, I was deep into writing poems and I do think spiders are swell, so I actually took that as a little challenge to write such a poem. After half an hour, I had something I was happy with and just threw it into the thread.

And man, the reaction will forever sit with me. Around ten folks responded. Every single one with yet another variation of the same joke, that they wanted to know what I’m smoking.
Even when I disprove their thesis, that you can’t write such a poem, by literally just doing that, they still need to declare it impossible without the use of performance-enhancing drugs.

I guess, I might have a special talent there, but it was just also particularly weird, because I’m practically clean-edge, as in the hardest drug I’ll occasionally have is coffein.
And yeah, that just left me with the same bewilderment as you. How different is my reality from theirs that they absolutely cannot imagine such thoughts occurring without drugs?

No idea, if that and the dissociating are linked. It does probably help a lot with poetry, too, to look at the world for what it is, rather than navigating it on auto-pilot.
