  • There’s also all the investment in making using the app addictive with all the little dopamine hits of finding something that might be good every so often at random. So when you do meet someone and you’re bored during the commercials in the from you’re watching, what app would give you a little dopamine hit, yes it’s your favourite dating app, run by the same one company as all the other dating apps.


  • Ok… … … I think you sincerely object to sexism, and clearly you hate liberals almost as much as trump wants you to, but I couldn’t find you objecting to homophobia until you show up here when the Republicans embarrass themselves, and suddenly you’re defending exactly the ones hypocritically making homophobic statements and laws.

    Sometimes the enemy of your enemy absolutely is not your friend, and I’m surprised that someone who claims to be anti fascist is here working over how beastly we’re being the the poor marginalised and abused Republicans.



  • You have used some truely awful IPS screens buddy.

    Oh yes. Yes I have. Absolutely.

    “Profound regret” is an exaggeration, but not by much. Looked fine in the carefully lit showroom. Wasn’t fine at all.

    OLED is nicer but not that much nicer.

    If you saw my laptop next to an OLED laptop in my house, you’ll eat these words. The difference is more stark than in the cat photo.




  • I knew a couple of people who studied in continental Europe under the Erasmus scheme before Brexit, and the far right were always claiming during the referendum campaign that the EU would never chuck the UK out of anything because we’re so awesome and they need us and our money so much. Turns out there’s a limit to how much a club misses its most loudly critical influential member.

    So amongst Europhile Brits, Erasmus means young people’s opportunities to study abroad first, and name from history that it honours second. I might not have heard of Erasmus if it weren’t for the Erasmus scheme, and I had to check just now whether he was a historical figure or someone from Greek mythology. Awesome surname for a person in real life to have, though.





  • you conjectured those baseless claims I don’t hold

    Projection.

    The “global outage” is your straw man. No one ever claimed that. The evidence is all about local outages to the host city of the RNC, and its happening regularly. A local outage likely wouldn’t even register at grindr’s end and is much more likely to be an issue at the local CDN (throttling an overload or not coping with the volume of requests) or some DNS issue.

    But like I said, people like you take news about outages perfectly happily except when it’s the gop convention overloading grindr as has become usual.

    Suddenly then there’s extreme skepticism because you can’t accept that political views, which are socially transferred could conflict with sexuality which isn’t.

    Why would conservative households and neighborhoods somehow prevent bisexuality and homosexuality in their members? That’s science denying shit. If you think being in the group being criticised somehow bars rightwingers from making hypocrisy-laden public condemnation, you really haven’t been paying attention.

    So that subpopulation exists, but of course is caused to feel great shame, hides it, and often has the best opportunity to go on grindr, without their neighbours recognising them, when they’re away from home at the gop convention, where the vast majority of men on grindr are conservatives who share their social need for absolute secrecy. Of course there’s a spike.

    But no, suddenly, and with this specific outage, but no other report of outage, you’re complaining that the outage monitoring websites are not to be trusted, their methodology is flawed, it’s contradicting the global servers’ claimed uptime or some other excuse. It’s just reality denial, and it comes from the gop itself, who are the masters (in the western world) of reality denial and flooding the channel with shit and spray gun excuses.
