Get hardly anyone to notice me on okcupid, so I cancel my subscription, and within a day or two after it lapsed, I get 25 people interested in me, but I can't see their profile unless I pay, so I resubscribe only to see they're all in the Philippines and Africa. Then it's back to getting nothing. It seems to me that okcupid baited me into buying a subscription and I fell for it. The whole service is a scam.

He doesn't want to get fact checked.

Too late, I wouldn't trust Unity from this point on. Spend tons of time and effort only to have it all yanked away. Screw that!

It's not really about voter fraud, it's about sowing seeds of doubt about elections. Hopefully it just discourages his fan from showing up to vote in the first place.

Good way to keep those marriage rates low. Can't get divorced if one doesn't bother getting married in the first place.

Hey GOP there will always be Ted Nugent. Lol

For granted, there's no shortage of coffee shops in my city. Locally operated and owned, and they have better coffee at better prices. Starbucks isn't even a reasonable choice with so many better options available.

Then they find out that a parent put a reverse mortgage on the family home...

Better do it before the full power of exponential growth kicks in.

Teamsters boss is right, the senator is a clown. Saying stupid things to get in the news.

Why are they on there? It was obvious long ago that it's a liability having an account on that service.

Many Boomers voted their progeny away when they put Reagan in office.

The one's resigning are the people that shouldn't be in office. It's likely a great benefit to Florida that they're gone.

I predict that nations will simply start blowing up satellites in space, creating a shroud of debris which will make space exploration nearly impossible.

If RiF ports their app to Lemmy, have it as nearly functionally as it was on Reddit as possible while accommodating the ways lemmy is different, I think it would be a winner.

Pretty easy to not own a Ubisoft game. Assassin's Creed and Far Cry series are pretty boring IMO.

At least 10 percent of my time sitting in a classroom in college was waiting for the prof to get the projector to work with their laptop.

JWs don't go to college for that exact reason. It seriously is a way to keep people from leaving the faith. Frederick Douglass wrote about how slave owners went out of their way to keep slaves uneducated for a similar reason . He learned to read in secret and then was able to see many truths about the institution of slavery because of his education .

I just hope something can be done with the empty structures. Turning them into housing is easier said than done for many buildings.

It is going to be interesting to see what happens to the downtown areas of major cities over time. Many of them, like mine, are pretty dead after work hours and on weekends, and have been like that for years.

It's not a video service, it's a pile of poo.

After over a decade of giving up on physical media, I'm now back to collecting it primarily because of this major issue with streaming services.

Work hard so you can make other people rich.

Small town in Kentucky did a similar thing with a municipally ran gas station.

Ah yes another commercial social media platform taking the first steps in the enshitification process. We've seen this all before in the early days of other platforms before the decay sets in.

There's only 24 hours in a day and I have plenty of things to do other than watch commercial-plagued programming on Amazon.

This is a real thing that happens. I know someone who took his bonus and bought a red Toyota Celica and put Lambo doors on it.

It's a type of engine design found mainly in certain pickup trucks. I don't know why but it's an important thing to some people.

It's set at a 50 mile radius, I have no interest in dating people on the other side of the world, I'd prefer someone I can interact with in person without having to hop on an airplane.

I'm all for giving credit where credit is due.

Brazil .. favorite and the human centipede as least favorite

I hope it becomes the most recognized Aussie art piece for centuries.

Hopefully countermeasures are in place.

I would imagine his diet could make him smell that way. From what I understand certain foods, like garlic, if consumed consistently for a period of time can make a person's sweat garlicky.

It's not really necessary to be part of the Southern Baptist convention. In fact, it's not really necessary to be part of any church at all. A person doesn't have to go to church. There's no requirement for it and they can live a perfectly moral and meaningful life without ever setting foot in a church.

The combustion product isn't likely to be a carcinogen. Safer to use indoors.

It won't be needed because nobody will have a job to pay for it. I forsee kurt vonnegut's book "Player Piano" on steroids.

Mormon temple in La Jolla looks like the space ship from "The Last Star Fighter"

The submersible was suppose to automatically lose it's ballast and surface on it's own in an emergency situation, and that didn't happen. A reasonable explanation for this is that it imploded.

A business doesn't want to advertise on a cesspool website. Who would have guessed?
