Boomers?

That’s nice to hear, thank you. I got married right before Tinder and was jealous of how much easier it seemed. Now reading these comments/article, the easy was the problem.

Let me filter the bots, trolls, and creeps myself. I don’t need a rent-seeking middleman for that.

(My wife’s pickup line was trolling the shower curtains in my photo)

How does any of this impact the likelihood of loving their kids?

I’ve been married for a long time too and we met on the greatest dating website of all time: Craigslist Personals.

You entered your gender, age, a written segment, and an optional photo. No algorithm, no matching. Everything written was searchable and published via RSS. All communication went through email. No app, no subscription, and the only ads were sex workers.

In the context of this article, it forced the user to engage by reading people’s blurbs instead of just swiping for brain chemicals like Candy Crush. You felt like you were talking the other humans and the website was just where you went to meet them.

If such a site were recreated today, users would want to run the RSS feed through a slop rejection filter.

This is a great example of that test being about trusting authority

It really makes no sense, you’d think Lemmy users would be fairly representative of Americans in general.

Pedophiles rapists

That’s pre-bailouts talk

This will work a lot better once everyone is on FOSS platforms and network effects are less of a problem.

Everything is political and bicycles even more than average. You’re riding a tool of feminist liberation and protecting the environment.

I’d rather a few people be annoyed at my rants in 2026 than a lot of people die from my lack of rants in 2126. If you want systemic change, then it helps to demonstrate that it’s feasible.

I’d like to hear about your illegal options.

When Democrats do this to Trump: “Oooh a strongly worded letter! They need to actually do something.”

OK cool well best of luck

Nobody is talking about running out of money but you

It sounds like you’re proselytizing MMT

I think you’re arguing in favor of some other philosophy and not disagreeing with their central point. It’s implied that the tax revenue is spent on nice things, not that the taxes themselves are the benefit. They’re not talking about inflation.
