I'm don't think "you'll settle for whoever's around" is a compelling argument.
Furthermore, there are few places where it's actually like a rom-com and the waitress sets you up. There can't be a lot of people in that situation because then there wouldn't be so few people that they can be matched up. Most people live in cities or suburban wastelands.
Well, they can be unhappy about it but that doesn't change how you'll have more chances of meeting a partner where there's more people doing more stuff.
Dating apps. They suck, but there's a lot you can do (without paying money) to improve your odds.
Go to meetups. They exist for hobbies (board games, running, bird watching) and regions (North Brooklyn hangout). Don't go cruising but go for the thing and meet people.
Join a rec sport league. There's a bunch of soccer ones here.
If you live somewhere shitty, you're going to have a worse time. I live in a big city so there's a lot of people doing stuff. If I lived out in the sticks, there might be a dozen people of my desired age and gender(s) total.
Firefox. It's fine. The ai stuff is concerning , but nothing's caused me enough pain to switch yet
Seems fair. Was a pretty big fuck up. Might deter others from making similar fuck ups.
That was always a bad idea and feeds my mild Cassandra complex.
No government should be relying on private platforms like that.
The kids don't deserve to get sick but the parents deserve shame and some sort of reeducation.
The suits at Microsoft are out of their fucking minds.
Yes. They are stupid and don't deserve their huge paychecks.
They could've done basically nothing. Maybe security updates. And they would've had a decent brand that kept bringing in money. Their leadership is worse than doing nothing. A dog would make a better ceo.
We need more than resignation. We need real punishments.
There are many, many, people that could be granted good bus service without tearing down and rebuilding the world. The problem is political. Every day and every dollar we put into other lesser solutions comes with a large opportunity cost.
Imagine if we'd focused on buses for the past 22 years instead of waymo. How many people could be served by the $16 billion in funding waymo got?
I'd rather live somewhere with buses and trains. You can get places when old and/or drunk, you build a better world for everyone, and you don't funnel money into shitty privately owned tech companies.
I think a lot about how one time we spent s few hours estimating how long a project would take. Management came back and said no, that's too long, we'd need to finish in a month.
Well if that's how long it has to take why not lead with that?
Bunch of idiot empty husks doing cargo-cult "agile"
