Search Results: stronger relationship

Warning, this is going to be a wall of text but I'll keep it as lean as possible.

What do you think, will a relationship work if the man is the technical one, uses Arch Linux OS on his device, a custom ROM on his mobile device instead of Android (that is if it's not a flip phone), encrypted his devices and data and uses strong passwords, decentralizes everything, that he uses, that he can decentralize (avoids the know your customer central exchanges such as Binance and uses something like Electrum instead), avoids using those tech giants services (especially Google and Microsoft and their email services and instead either uses something like Proton, Tuta or self-hosts his own and private Email provider) and staying off from social media (meaning he has no account on there to begin with) and resists mass surveillance and privacy violating things and trying as much to stay under the radar whenever possible and avoids using Whatsapp and instead uses Signal, the messaging app, that Edward Snowden has endorsed while his girlfriend/wife/woman is a stark contrast to it: She is avid on social media, posting regularly about many things including her private life and activities and very openly stating her personal opinions in such public places, consuming content on Tik Tok and Instagram and the likes, uses either Windows 10 or 11 or MacOS with Apple devices, has an iPhone, uses Apple products and services, maybe uses a Google account with google services like Gmail, hides nothing, has a weak if any password, uses privacy violating mainstream apps like Whatsapp and doesn't really mind the cuckware, that came preinstalled with her devices.

Can such a relationship work or even prosper?

In my experience even just not being on social media has yielded me reactions from people, that can be described as me wearing an aluminum hat. Or those weird questions like "Who/what/why are you hiding?" like i'd tell ya, you fkn idiot

First and foremost, lying is a NET POSITIVE as it has evolved among ALL species studied for the propensity for deception. The simple, harsh truth is that liars gain advantage and people who do not lie or cannot tell they're being lied to are, inferior, from an evolutionary standpoint. Suck it up. Liars win. Marks lose.

Lies we tell to PROTECT OURSELVES:

We might lie to avoid punishment. For example, children often lie about whether they have completed their homework. If they tell the truth, their parents might insist that the homework be done immediately, which could preclude their participation in a recreational activity.

We might lie to prevent ourselves from being embarrassed about behavior we regret or because we don’t want to reveal private information that might be used against us. We may worry that public awareness of such information can cause us stress or anxiety.

We might lie to avoid conflict. For example, a spouse may choose not to tell the truth about how they feel about their spouse’s behavior for fear that an uncomfortable disagreement might arise.

We might lie to gain social acceptance from a particular group. For example, we might feign interest in a subject matter to join a group that extols that subject. Or, we could post partial truths or fabrications on social media to become popular.

We might lie to get ahead in a competition or business. For example, a businessman might falsely claim great success in the past to secure a new business interest. Such lies can also make us feel better about ourselves when others believe us.

We might lie in a relationship to maintain control. For example, we might falsely state that we have brought a lot of money into a partnership.

Lies we tell to protect others:

We might lie about an illegal activity undertaken by a friend so that the friend does not suffer from negative consequences.

We might lie about something to spare the feelings of someone else.
