I have used dating apps and there's a fundamental problem with them. They have all been monetized past the point of usability.

Say somebody matches you; you get a notification that you received a like, but can't view who did so unless you shell out $20-40 for a week. So the notification just pulls you back to the app for no benefit.

So your only real option for use is to just like as many people as possible in the hopes that one of them has liked you already, so you can send a message. But don't think "Well I'll just like the people I like and it will work out"

See most of these apps will use your "looking for" info to make a list of "people we think you'll like". Some of them are real accounts. Many are payed to play along and then ghost you. All of them are locked behind additional payments for messages or even matching in the first place.

Unless you are willing to pay the premium tier for access to what we're basic features on a free a decade ago, it's just not worth your time.

I'd be worried that this will be used as a screen to kill "undesirables" without scrutiny.

Now it's a Z:\bra

Recreational weed was on the same ballot and both passed. Ohio actually managed to do two things right, which is a pleasant change of pace.

I've long since blocked HexBear , but will occasionally click the "show me anyway" button just to validate that decision. I'm somehow still surprised by the advanced stage brainrot every time.

A wealthy man from Soth Africa has weird views on eugenics? I'm shocked!

There's a tendency for people to look down on stuff that is too "mainstream" while simultaneously ignoring why it is popular.

It's not just the psycho assholes looking for people to hammer. It's hard to want to engage with voice chat when the general public has no fucking concept of mic discipline. Nobody wants to hear the conversations happening around you. They don't want to hear you eating. They certainly don't want to hear your background music. Use push to talk.

Are you sure that wasn't just an attempted joke about the phrase asexual reproduction?

Do the French dislike honey?

If somebody called me a seppo, I wouldn't be offended, I'd just think they were kind of dumb. It's just too silly to take seriously as an insult.

Well, no. That's a kind of coffee.

I use the same name for most things out of habit, but I wouldn't be too put out if it is taken when signing up for something new.

It varies so greatly in quality that most of it just tastes like drinking a scented candle. It doesn't help that I hate clove, which is frequently used in the spice blend.

By all means, try it if you get the chance. My experience with the flavor has been decidedly negative.

It's also called Gaia, but Gaians sounds silly.

I don't get the hype either, but maybe it gets better in the second half? I've never managed to sit all the way through it.

There's silly references and then there's just plain stupid. I can continue Dungeon Crawler Carl because it pulls back at least a little on the stupid. I put down Noobtown and won't be picking it back up again.

Additives?
