I used to work as a refrigeration technician and when I first started I was working with an old Russian dude who had no filter. We’d walk into a store and he’d ask the owner “ok so what’s the problem?” and if they ever said “the machine isn’t working.” he’d immediately reply with “no shit man, I wouldn’t be here if it was working…” Lol

I should have just read one comment down! I literally just replied to them with a complaint about this exact thing lol

I get so mad with so many “romantic problems” in movies (I know it’s just a movie so the need to do it) it’s like just say the damn thing and there won’t be an issue! Lol

It’s great to learn because after a while you can start experimenting and making things you don’t have a recipe for. I kinda have a “memory” for tastes so I can just think about how things might go together so I just kinda make up dishes now. I mean I’m sure I’m not making something unique, but it’s all without a recipe. Or if you are lazy and are craving something you can just make it instead of having to go out lol I’ve made many “cakes” because I was craving something sweet but didn’t have anything around just by knowing how it’s done having done it before.

If they were smart they would put all of their eggs into squadron 42, make it as good as they can

They did, it’s why star citizen was lagging behind so hard for so long. All the production focus went into squadron 42 like 6ish years ago. Squadron 42 is announced for release next year and since the announcement they turned production focus back to star citizen. Still SC 1.0 is going to be years away still because they’re so damn slow with everything they do…

OkCupid.com (founded 2004) asked users a wide range of multiple-choice questions. It then went further by also asking them to specify the responses to those same questions they wanted to see from prospective partners

Yet another example of a feature dumbed down for seemingly no reason… In another comment I mentioned removing features, and this one mentioned here used to have a section for you to elaborate on your response… They removed it just a few years ago for god knows what reason, making that questions section worse…

“Do pets have souls: yes/no”

…well normally I’d say “no” and then elaborate with “because I don’t believe in souls, I don’t think anyone has a soul. We have personalities and I believe animals have them too.”

Now I just look like some heartless psycho “no, animals don’t have souls.”

The only girl to ever reach out to me on a dating site (that wasn’t a bot) without me starting the conversation only did so to suggest I removed the bit about not wanting to own a dog lol

I just noticed that like 99.999999999999999% of women’s profiles mention dogs, some even start with something about dogs, so I figured I’d just be upfront about it and let them filter me out if it’s that important to them. It really is a “dealbreaker” for me, so I’ve just kind of accepted that I’m going to stay single lol

Lmao he was just trying to tell me I have things going for me. I mean he is gay but I’m not sure either of us would enjoy that situation.

I love cats, I have a little monkey of my own! (that’s what I call her lol)

I just can’t stand the barking, begging, lack of personal space, and I’d rather not have the extra responsibilities that come with having a dog.

I have been on and off dating apps for over 10 years. I witnessed what they did to them.

Enshittification to the maximum. Sites literally REMOVED useful functions and put others behind paywalls. You used to be able to set tags of interests and search by tags as well to find people into the same things as you, but that stops you from swipe swipe swipe swipe swipe… Swipe swipe is time spent on the app which increases the chance you start feeling desperate and pay them for the increased functionality of… Seeing who likes you… Other sites used to let you actually browse who was near you, not swipe, but have a list of people to look through. That’s not swipe swipe swipe pulling the dopamine lever so gotta give it the axe.

I mostly blame Match Group. Any dating site that actually worked well was bought by them and stripped down to be tinder 2.0 clones.

The more difficult it is to use the more likely they are to get you feeling desperate which is how they get you to pay up. No thanks.

My cousin doesn’t understand what I mean when I tell him I’m really not a “catch” anymore than an old boot or used tire is a “catch.”

He says I’m “attractive” which is nice to know as I never really thought I was, but there’s way more than just that which is what you “bring to a relationship.”

Video games, gardening, and general science/space nerd isn’t exactly bringing much to a relationship lol add on my lack of education, dead end factory job, general distaste for concerts, the beach, and dogs and I might as well be Hitler lol

How dare the game teach me how to play! I want to be tossed into the world and complain that there’s no direction!

Jones aside that one gets me in the feels. And when she tells ice pops what her wish is and why. All the feels…

I was actually coming to the comments for this one lol

It’s my favorite guilty pleasure anime lol black clover is another similar one

Not a meme I guess, but I’d send it probably every day from the day I turned… Idk, 16?

Thank you for sharing this! Why should journalists verify anything, right? It’s not like it’s their job to report factual information they researched or anything…

Lately I’ve been using a new brand since they’re bigger than the Mission ones I used to get, I think it’s called Aladdin or something. They’re just “regular” wheat wraps lol

Cajun chicken wraps! Baked chicken with Cajun seasoning, romaine lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, in a slightly salted wrap and then lightly fry the wrap for a little crisp and to keep it sealed shut.

“Hasta la vista, baby.”
