Fully support these women reaching out to each other to find friendship.
I also just want to say, it's sad that if this was a men's club, people would attack it and its members for being "incels". Which is probably why something this specific for combating loneliness hasn't popped up on the men's side.

Reply to comment by FlashbangThroodador in I just learned that the known shortest DNA in an “organism” is about 1700 base pairs in a certain virus. Is there a minimum amount of “code” required for an organism (or virus) to function in any capacity? by mcbergstedt
The issue really comes down to evolution.
The first organisms did not use photosynthesis, but rather chemiosythesis. There is only so simple that you can go if photosynthesis is the only way to produce

Reply to How might JWST have been different if they'd planned from day 1 for Starship's 9m x 18m payload fairing? by [deleted]
just to be clear, you are asking how the JWST which had been in planning for years and started construction in 2004, would have looked if they planned for it be launched on a rocket by a rocket company that didn't exist at the time, and on a spaceship that still to this day has never flown?

100% yes.
What scientists and computer modeling has discovered (theorized) is that binary systems in general are far more common than solitary ones. So binary stars, binary planets, binary moons (binary here being objects which orbit around one another and their center of mass orbits around another body).
You can see this in models yourself too. For instance, the game Elite Dangerous simulated the entire galaxy by using their stellar forge algorithm. Obviously its a game, so take that as you will, but they used a lot of real physics in creating their algorithm for the Stellar forge. And you will find many star systems have binaries all over the place.

Uh.... What?
STS-51-L was a failure by any metric you double possibly come up with.
Sometimes, certain methodology for launch systems incorporate launch failures as learning experiences, with the ground team learning important facts for future iterations. However, not every launch system is developed that way, and any launch system that has human souls on board will be a failure if there is a loss of human life.
And even beyond that, certain payloads are so costly, time intensive to build, and needing to reach the launch window that a catastrophic event will undoubtedly be a failure.
The James Webb Telescope took 30 years and $10 billion to build. If it blows up on ascent, that is a FAILURE.
The Voyager probes needed to be launched in a certain window so as to achieve the flight paths needed for their tour of the solar system, something that was only possible due to a once in-a-generational alignment. Had they blown up, the mission would be a failure.

The device you own has standalone software.
Other VR headsets don't they just work via plug n play, which means they have to be connected to a computer for use.
The Quest 2 can work on its own, no wires. And to get the apps, games, etc on that standalone software, it needs a login account.
I have a Facebook account, rarely use it. but when I got my quest I made another facebook account just for the quest. Has nothing on it, purely just for the login.
But if you have no desire to ever use your headset without it being connected to a computer, then it just sounds like the Quest 2 wasn't the best fit for your needs. Especially if creating an account is an undesirable requirement.

It is so surprising?
I need a Steam account to purchase and play games from steam. I need a PS account to play games on playstation. Need an Xbox account for Xbox.
The occulus has an app store built in, so having an account is going to be a necessary requirement.
The earlier brushbacks were mainly because it required a facebook account, people felt like it was intrusive to ask for a social media account for a log in. But folks without facebook can make a meta account, and treat it just as they would buying games on Origin or Epic.

Reply to comment by Guac__is__extra__ in TIL: WW1 Armistice Day was Nov 11th, fighting was to cease at 11:00 AM. An American solider charged a German machine gun nest with 16 mins left, and died at 10:59 AM. The last soldier to die in WWI. by wats6831
IIRC, he knew the war was over, and knew it wasn't a trick. But he was a loyal soldier following orders and refused to stand down unless his commanding officer told him to do so.
It was an honor thing for him, not a "I don't believe you" thing.

Exactly. A group like this for men would come under immediate attack for being a "haven of toxicity".
There is a dramatic lack of understanding an empathy towards men's mental health. And because some online trolls have drawn headlines for being rude towards women, now anyone who falls under the "incel umbrella" is immediately labeled as toxic and should be attacked.
