They literally all brag about not being educated, it's not like they didn't tell us. lol

Yeah, I won $50 with scratch offs one time... I don't recommend trying the lottery.

It was always shit, I promise you release day Tinder was not all that different from today. Maybe less expensive to use.

Hell, first dating advice I got was "use the websites that charge you for replies, people are more serious there". lol, you used to have to pay to talk back prior to smartphones.

And they convinced several generations that using them is necessary for dating.

It's just trying to get you engaged to ultimately pay. You can have matches and they'll be super far in the cue forcing you to buy matches or access to seeing them.

The prices to make the apps functional are incredibly high.

Besides, I don't think they need to engineer anything to be bad. Dating random people outside your social network and interests is just not a recipe for success. Much easier to date people in the same environment as you: work, school, friend group etc...

Dating apps cant do that. Matching people you kinda know is really weird and awkward lol

We could live without anything that uses ads to "sustain" itself. Nobody hosting ads on their service is doing so to "maintain" themselves. They just want profit for their labour... they are entitled too, but its a business choice, never a necessity.

And yeah if I use something, I'll always pay for no ads. Ads cost so much more of our lifespans and contribute so fucking little to those that host them. Garbage.

I respect your take, but I think it is wrong.

I think Ai hate might be the single most unifying position in the west right now.

Most people didn't even trust algorithmic automation before agents came along. lol

Some transit channels have uploaded mirrors to PeerTube but the numbers are minuscule compared to their Youtube channels.

Mass Effect was really just Bioware not wanting to pay for Star Wars again. Why not do the same and make a new Mass Effect worthy IP?

The trilogy told the story. Andromeda didnt really add much.

 

It never really occurred to me I might just not have those specific social skills nailed down. 😅 Because irl, I have plenty of ease chatting people up and making new friends. Same with dating or professional networking, it all comes naturally in person.

But online, in writing, it's so awkward for me. I see folks make long term friendships just hanging out in group chats or discord servers. Meanwhile, I manage to just get into arguments and not really manage to share anything interesting about myself otherwise. I might just not be finding my people, but who knows where that is right?

Anyone got pro tips for making friends in text chats or forums?
