I met my partner on a furry dating app. Since it's a community-driven app, there's no mechanics like swiping or paid features, you simply get a list of users sorted by distance and a bunch of filters such as last activity on the app, age, sexual orientation and so on.

Since it's a furry app, you also rarely see what the person actually looks like, generally you'd find that out after you've talked for a while and decide to meet or share pictures. Instead you see their fursona, the character they created to represent themselves in that community.

All of that to say dating on that app was greatly successful vs the regular dating apps I tried, most likely because it's not a profit driven app so it's not trying to keep users endlessly dating. It's not really helpful for non-furries but I imagine other internet communities could build their own version of such an app.

Inmates can even be charged for rent and come out indebted to the prison they were assigned to

Depends on your goals and income level. I couldn't afford to rent a place with the space for the equipment I use let alone the equipment itself. Of course training isn't required for anyone, and there's a lot you can achieve with little or no equipment, but there's a reason why people pay for gym memberships rather than simply "doing pushups at home".

There's a lot more to training than push-ups

Are you a formula 1 driver by any chance

That's one of the things I enjoy about working in the video games industry instead of a normal software place, everybody seems much more progressive than the average for my country. Maybe it just comes with being underpaid and working on creative stuff.

You forgot the component part.

Canadian here, I did the same last week. I'm already boycotting the US and I don't want my money in their economy in any form.

If the design only had the color scheme without the characters it'd actually look really cool
