The “what if i missed someone better” was a legitmate reason someone gave me for why they kept the using the app while starting to see me. Yea what a great way to launch a relationship.
I defintely get the social reliance and funny looks when you don’t want to use technology. I get the same looks for refusing to use dating apps. I have nothing against people who use them but the cycle isn’t something I’m interested in. I get discouraged chatting for a bit then getting ghosted. I get discouraged seeing dates get match notifications while i am on a date with them. And really fhe biggest thing for me, i vastly prefer meeting and getting to know people in person. Their accent, their body language, their sarcasm and humor, its best to experience that in person.
Plus the app doesn’t keep make money by finding you a good partner and in our capitalist hellscape I’d bet most of them factor that into tbeir algorithm. You match with good enough matches and frequently enough you think the app works but maybe the app guesses the match is just off enough that you’ll both be back in a few weeks more desperate than before and ready to buy superswipes or whatever.
For some of us it may be a difficult decision to not comply. Many of us need technology to continue our careers and make enough money to exist at our current standards. I need a phone with an active service connection and often need maps and to download user manuals on the fly for my job, and thats about as little reliance on phones and internet as jobs get these days.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Car (lack of) privacy, and what to do about it. Let's talk about this?

This administration is still doing all that awful shit and more. The rate of atrocities is increasing and broadening.
The number of deportations aren’t the major problem here, it’s the nature and methods they are using.
Hostile relations with foreign nations is status quo for the US. The current level of violence on their streets instigated by the feds coupled with the desecration of constitutional rights and congress refusing to their legally obligated duties is not.
I get the sentiment, but this is defintely stinkier, larger shit than the status quo of the US and downplaying it as its been this way for 50 years is somewhat dangerous messaging.
As a male, i only have like 1 or 2 pairs of paints that actually fit me nicely, otherwise they are extra baggy, a little long in the leg, or a little wide in the waist. Its all manageable by rolling the cuffs or wearing a belt but casual mens clothing in general usually fits “good enough”.
Theres a lot of men whom lean more into the toxic masculinity side who will even make fun of men wearing well fitting clothing like fitted shirts, usually this stems from jealously of the fitted shirt showing off their muscles while the other is wearing a free t shirt from a beer case that barely covers his gut.
Who the hell brings subway into a movie theater? And the staff defintely knew there is no hiding the smell of that bread.
Don’t worry, once average boob size gets outrageously large, they’ll start lacing it with another powder to shrink them down again which can increase their cancer benefits package from the previous powder by up to 300%
They start lacing their bras with a powder that makes breasts grow so you have to keep buying new bras
You gotta go all the way back to a flip phone then. Even 10 years ago a lot of phones poked out of girl’s pockets
Probably harder to find pants she likes. Mens clothing tends to be baggy and boxy whereas women’s tend to be more form fitting. Even mens skinny jeans could end up looking baggy depending on her size

The contact listed “mommy” almost certainly was not their genetic mother.
Japan is also very short on space which i think is a major factor in why they use incinerators more than traditional landfills.
