“Oh fuck…”

some_guy , 2 months ago to showerthoughts in Dating apps are as if someone turned the job application experience into a pastime

I’m an old so I remember dating apps before smartphones. People with physical keyboards wrote long messages, like emails and letters. You could really get to know someone’s personality. This worked well for me because my sense of humor is absurdist and you need to know my values to know that I’m joking when I say something off-beat.

That just doesn’t work over short text message-style comms. So I can’t be funny. I can’t make a joke about voting for a terrible policy if I have to explain that it’s a joke because that’s not funny. But if I’ve revealed to you a bunch of things that matter to me and then claim to want the opposite, you know I’m being sarcastic and it’s fine. Oh well. I’m lucky enough to be in a great relationship despite the dating apps sucking much worse now.

Then there are the articles about how dating apps have deliberately made themselves worse to keep people paying for subscriptions… I’ve seen at least one and I’ve heard people talk about this on a podcast, I think. I may be misremembering. I consume a lot of media about how much capitalism and humanity create worse and worse systems.

Good luck to anyone who’s searching. I got your back.

Those clowns who told me a RasPi would cover my needs will be proven wrong now!

I worked at a company that was all-in on GSuite (now Google Workspace) for five years. They’ve got this covered.

I do not endorse Google apps. They suck. Web apps suck. Electron apps suck. Native apps are where it’s at.

Wow. That’s pretty direct. You can fuck off. I know that cops are not the right solution to mental health crises. I am a person with mental health issues who has had cops called to “save” me and was lucky that it went well. Why don’t you affix your mouth to my asshole because I know that cops are not the right solution to a person having a crisis while I choose not to suggest my lay advice about something that is pretty important. Fuck you.

Regrettably, can confirm. I’ve been so much more docile since finding a partner. I wish I’d always been this way.

I’m not qualified to give advice on how to handle those situations. I only know that calling the cops is not it.

Not the person you responded to… From reading the wiki article, it seems like that’s in line with other times that he has tried to speak in favor of free speech. I’m not saying Boris was right or ok to make insensitive comments; politicians should be held to higher standards. I would need additional examples. Doesn’t make a difference to me. I never liked his character anyway.

What I think would be cool and novel would be for a European person to claim Indigenous American heritage. Flip the script.

I swear I’ve heard balls referred to as stones likely by a British person, but I don’t know if I’m making that up.
