There’s not too much to talk about. We blend in because people assume we are either gay or straight depending on who we date. Most don’t think much of it, though. :)

Blessed with the carnal knowledge of dating multiple genders, I realized that love is the same regardless of gender or physical hardware. Honestly, I think many people would actually be compatible if they knew how close it feels to being hetero/homosexual, lol. Sex feels the same, love feels the same. At the end of the day, you will find someone amazing, and you dgaf what gender they are, because you make each other happy. :)

I should set one up. Is it a huge pain in the ass?

I like the one that sells your data about your sexual orientation, lol. It’s just so beyond the pale these days.

Bumble used to be different back in the day. I tried it when it was going down the tubes.

I think part of the problem is that the matching is fairly superficial, so while you know a little about the person, most of the details amount to their face, 1-3 hobbies, and their ass.

The women I matched with that I went out with were awkward and felt forced. In the end, I ended up falling in love with a close guy friend that I had known for years.

If bumble wants success, they should allow for much deeper Q&A, longer response times, a tweaked algorithm that matches people based off hobbies and passions, and an AD section that allows people to privately put in stuff that they like after dark. Info that isn’t shared with their matches, but helps make people match better with people like them.

As for straight dating though, idk. I feel like people should probably be avoiding apps and meeting organically through stuff like biking groups, climbing groups, skiing events, big dance venues, etc. it fosters much more organic connections.

I don’t participate in bar culture that much, but the difference between the gay bars I’ve gone to and the straighter college-y bars feels immense. The former is much more social with a pinch of kink, the latter is where people are getting absolutely blitzed without much dialogue over loud music. It’s an extremely small sample size, but I can’t help but wonder if it’s part of a larger trend when it comes to meeting people and how portions of society meet and date. Perhaps there are bars where single straight men and women meet over 1-2 drinks and talk, but I haven’t seen any so far.

Overall, I think the Internet and cars (decreasing population density and increasing the space between third places) has had a dramatically negative impact on love and friendships in places like the US.

I was surprised that it wasn’t the fifth circuit, then my shock faded: the sixth administers Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee, as well as Michigan.

A second vote for Black Mesa. I played HL1 and Black Mesa back to back, and BM was way more enjoyable!

Lots of good indie stuff, not much from AAA. My recommendation: try new single player or co op stuff. Stop recycling content.

Three years isn’t nearly long enough. Chrome needs to go, as does their dominance in search, android, YouTube and email. That cannot all be one company, under a giant advertising umbrella. Split them up into three companies. Chrome and advertising cannot stay together.

I liked the face reveal. What happened to the red engi? I haven’t kept up in many years!

Why uncomfortable?

Over half the country voted for trump, the man who will make everything worse and who appeals to people’s most base instincts. Some of the worst mass shootings were under Trump.

I don’t think violence will necessarily be contained to Democrats and old style Republicans. The new right likes corruption, which includes POS health insurance companies.

I’d love to play Elite II, though I’m glad that the contemporary franchise is so flipping good. It’s up there in my top games of all time.

I hope Intel gets their act together soon. We can’t have a monopoly on chips on the CPU or GPU space.

Hopefully you unplugged it from the wall and drained the capacitors before reaching down. xD

Glad you still have hands!

Moto g stylus 5g.

Once I knew it was $600 to repair, I bought a cheaper phone. I had plans to buy a used version of my flagship and raid it for parts, but in the end, it just didn’t pencil out financially.

Plus, I hadn’t had a phone for a week+ and it was getting difficult to do work since my job requires 2FA on personal devices (a terrible idea, btw).

Pray they don’t, but I’m almost certain they will now that the US is appointing complete morons to every portion of the US government. The US won’t really be able to help until this rot gets cleaned out. China has four years before we can really help Taiwan again. (Or at least give them air superiority)

Did you manage to extract it from the garbage disposal?

I recently bought a cheap phone after I broke my main one, because I needed something while my main one was being “repaired”. It turns out that this new cheap phone has a headphone jack AND a better stylus. It also had a solid 1000mah bigger battery and 10w extra of charging over my old flagship.

When the repair shop told me that the 20 cent ribbon connector couldn’t be replaced and that the repair would be $600 for a new screen and glass back, I decided to keep the cheap phone, which works damn well. It’s so nice to have a headphone jack to use again. All my other shit still has headphones jacks from my PC/laptop/SD to my car and stuff like kitchen stereos. I can use my Bluetooth earbuds, but they only have about 5 hours of playback and have a bad click in one bud after the first year of use.

I’m almost disappointed at how good this mid-range, $250 phone is compared to my $1,700 Samsung. I’ve been wasting money for years on flagships. Not going back after I got my data transferred to my new phone.

Yeah, the man behind the desk. :)

The mom is pretty cute too, though the principal’s clothes are a bit more timeless.
