… Yeah it is 🫠🥲
In literal terms it translates to “before-the-road” (pro - drómou)
(this literal translation includes the ambiguity of before- as in ‘temporally before’, or before- as in ‘in front of’)
So any way you slice it, it’s pretty ironic.

“Prodromou” is a Greek surname, with the rough meaning “the one who walks the road before others”.
So him being “a visionary” is fun, lol
This is really interesting, but I got a bit confused by the language.
Can someone explain, what the “common mistake” being done by bad research until now is?
And what is the conclusion relating to alcohol use?
Just as a sanity check for you, I think you’re right about the people who choose to post on this thread.
“Something someone can’t do”, is a subset of “job”, because a “job” literally is something you get money for, because other people don’t wanna do it for some reason.
But the antiwork community is not here, and to be honest, your user of the word “type” in “only one type of job”, muddles the meaning of the sentence a bit.
I see. Well, if I take what you’re saying as fully correct, then it sounds like communism compared to anarchism, is just “a different path for how we reach the same utopia”.
And this different path passes through more authority (quantity and quality), through the existence and emphasis of the state.
How much authority, is probably what makes the spectrum of Anarchy to Stalin-Lenin.
And well… As an anarchist, deafboy’s comment might be polemic, but I get it. Any authority that can, will get corrupted.
What makes this thing you’re describing, not anarchism?
I think you’re thinking of anarchocommunism specifically. Which is “not all communism”™.
State-based communism is a thing, that many people usually called tankies by others, do believe in.
I’m about 101% sure it’s possible, ±1.1%
Prion City here we GOOOOOOOOO!
Even to the (insufficient, overblown) extent that it happens, lifting “the poor” Han Chinese out of poverty by putting other populations (Uighurs) under slave labour instead, is not the moral win you’re implying.
If an ethnic cleansing is part of the requirements, to stop committing humanitarian atrocities towards “the poor”, that’s still an atrocity.
Disclaimer, the USA, just like every authoritarian state, is also disgusting and criminal.
Get me a fan or air conditioning, for survival, and I’m in
Tl;dr:
France tries to pass an extremely unpopular reform on its colonized island on the other side of the world, allowing french citizens to vote after 10 years of staying on the island, that just so happens to be the world’s 3rd largest nickel exporter.
Locals, already fucked by years of colonialism and being economically disadvantaged, protested, and in the escalating violence, were suppressed by armed police, that killed 3 young locals. One policeman dies, days later in the hospital from a wound.
France locks down the airport and port with military, applies 12 days lockdown to the already curfew’d capital, and stations another 500 police men on top of the 1800, making for almost 10% of the population now, being french police.
Tiktok is banned, because it was said to be the main way protesters organised.
Their politicians claim no colonialism is happening.
This article sensationalises the violence of the protesters, and dryily describes that of the French state.
It is also ordered such that the heavier crimes against the people of the island, are placed after: a vapid introduction that “takes no sides”, one mandatory extra click to “load the rest of the article”, and a bunch of ads.
This week in KDE: all about those apps
Skill issue
Honestly, it sounds to me like he just really wasn’t present in the moment.
I just cannot believe he would intentionally do such a thing, if he was aware of the entire situation, given your previous interactions. I might be projecting, (for I’ve been in such situations, and it was horrible for everyone involved), but I believe he was strongly tuned out somehow. Dissociated, either because of other things in his life at the time, or because of the date itself.
I think, no matter the cause, that’s still a bad sign for a date, he was not in a situation to pay attention to you, which was not a good thing at all.
If you feel some kind of empathy for that, or if you have any degree of interest, you could literally ask him. I think it’s good and proper to ask what was going on, about a time you were hurt, assuming you want further association with someone.
Otherwise, as a rule, I believe other people’s minds are kinda unknowable, and Very unreliable (we make mistakes all the fucking time), so I would not take it personally. I’d be willing to bet, it was not meant to be any kind of slight to you, or any intentional message. He probably just fucked up, and you should probably let it go, and move on.
To be clear, I don’t think there’s a right answer about whether you try to connect with him again or move on. Whichever you honestly feel you want, in your gut, is probably right.
I can’t advise you on anything that happened on the date itself, those are entirely yours and person-specific.
Assuming that you are not interested in anything with him at all, and just want to properly reject him, I strongly recommend not ghosting him fully, and instead give a kind but firm and clear rejection.
You don’t have to go into detail explaining. Especially after mutually keeping distance for that long, it’s clear that there was no spark between you, and you can just say something along those lines. “Sorry, I didn’t feel the chemistry, and I really feel like we don’t match. But I wish you happiness.”
For those last couple questions you ask… My opinion is that they’re are no rules.
Guys being expected to pay feels slimy to me, but paying itself can be good, like a gift, especially if you reciprocate and pay for something else another time.
The gal asking for what would make her happy in terms of which shop to go to… Should be an absolute given. If you feel like you’re not gonna have fun somewhere, recommend the better option, absolutely.
I didn’t say literally any of that though.
I said its main function is to distribute violence.
Money mainly exists as a way to decide to whom you will deny service.
The more money you can give, the less people will deny you what you need, and the opposite is true.
I think the problem is in the “measuring someone’s worth using an arbitrary number”, and not the money itself.
It’s that human worth shouldn’t be attached to a random hierarchical tool, whose main function is to distribute violence.
Virtue signalling of exactly this.
This is the intended message.
I mean, they didn’t bother you guys.
The guy was just cold, and the gal had a personal moment. Not their fault, that you two little kids were scared of strangers.
Kidding aside, and assuming what you’ve written is neither internet-talk nor standard schizophrenia tendencies, it might be carbon monoxide poisoning. It was a phenomenon, with haunted houses very often just having faulty heaters of some kind, causing hallucinations in the right doses.
