I mean, I’m in my early 30s so I don’t know how much I can talk about how things used to be. I don’t think it’s confined to dating apps, thought. It’s all of life now. I think a lot of the current loneliness and isolation is due to the fact that it’s so much easier than it used to be. Back then, to be a proper…

I work with plenty of twentysomethings, and constantly hear of their relationship dramas. However, I can count on one finger the number of long-term relationships that have started via apps. And in that one case, they actually knew each other beforehand anyway.

I don’t know, if you are like me and dated before it was taken over by apps, your view of what happens might be very much out of date. A lot of very negative social interactions have happened to both young men and young women when in comes to dating over the past 10 years. Both groups that are not in the highest…

I generally agree with you, but what about this system is related to deck building besides the superficial use of “cards” to symbolize what is essentially just a list of collectible perks? The game is an RPG. It feels like you’re dismissing an RPG element just because it communicates the element through cards. 

I’m not sure you know what sustainability means.

Name one instance where “trans people” (BTW, not all cross dressers are trans) are performing strip shows in kindergartens.

Both! It’s a combination of the fact that a government agent leaking classified documents also shares racist memes.

Committing federal crimes for clout.

I own and have played all of ‘em, so go blow it out your ass you filthy casual.

I’m also a self-reflective person who has spent years bettering myself after the couple of times I’ve screwed up in life. However, I try not to be so self-righteous about it - and tend to focus more on facilitating those seeking that path to redemption. Especially since I’m someone who judged myself overly harshly…

Even worse than the people who immediately jump to defend these people and their mistakes are the people who are adamant that there is no possible road to redemption.

Stop being so cynical. 

I don’t disagree. But a path to redemption should be possible.

Do you truly believe that no human being is capable of reform? Is turning over a new leaf an incomprehensible concept to you? Have a little more faith in humanity.

Wow, this is a great example of how you actually apologize and repair the damage you’ve done!

You do know that the Luddites were objectively correct, right?

They weren’t anti technology. They feared the harms of technology being used to replace peoples labour, and concentrate wealth into fewer and fewer hands. (https://locusmag.com/2022/01/cory-doctorow-science-fiction-is-a-luddite-literature/)

Chief among their collective reasoning is the age-old internet expression that once something is put on the internet, for better or worse, it’s there forever.

For anyone planning to hide any sort of anything operation inside a K-12 school: it will almost certainly be found within one year. Virtually every system in school buildings is (or should be) inspected and maybe tested annually. Maintenance personnel are crawling all over school buildings during the summer. People…

OMG! The gang missions were so bugged and felt so stupid at that point. You own a Vegas casino, multiple houses, fly a Harriet jet, but hey let’s take over the hood!

Yeah between the confusing tiers for the service on top of the extremely poor store design, discoverability is really bad.
