It is. But the reality of those sites is that for a guy the vast majority of your messages will never be read. You are shouting at the void and hoping for the best. This does not incentivize taking the time and psychological investment to write thoughtful messages, because you will send comparatively few and the lack of response is harder to deal with when you're more invested. It incentivizes sending the quickest messages that you care about the least to as many as possible. The guy didn't send her a dick pic, he sent every woman in a 50 mile radius the same dick pic hoping that with enough sheer volume he'll get a response.

It's basically spam that wants to fuck you, because non-spam options don't get you anywhere.

And, the sites end up eating battery.

Yeah, but they would have done that in 2005 too, if you were using them on a device with a battery.

if you hate me why tf do you want to fuck me?

Testosterone is a hell of a drug. I've known a few guys who have had at least one gf they only stayed with for the sex and were just putting up with her the rest of the time. Those...generally aren't very good or healthy relationships. Most of them eventually get out of that mindset and (at least try to) find someone they like being with first and also want to fuck besides.

But then my wife acts shocked that a bunch of women she works with talk like they don't even like their husbands. All I can think is why marry them then?

Why are so many people doing an act that is objectively creepy, stupid and most users hate the entire experience?

The death of third places.

He couldn't talk about his plan, because then someone might look it up in Project 2025 and ask some...unfortunate questions about why all his plans look like that document he once described as a detailed plan for "our movement" but has definitely never read and knows nothing about.

Advertising company makes it harder to block ads on their browser, news at 11.

Or did anyone forget that they made an explicit effort to block another ad blocking extension a while back, including blocking it from the Chrome store, blocking you from installing it manually and even blocking at least some versions of it from being manually installed in developer mode?

Ad nauseam, because it also simulated ad clicks and thus ruined their metrics.

EDIT: Fucking phone autocorrect. "as clocks" -> "ad clicks".

The best part of that line is that everyone left of fascism reads it as a direct threat - bow to our will or there will be blood, while the right can claim it's just them worrying about the left turning violent.

I mean, he doesn't want them to cancel his class if someone skips so he needs an alternate to ride the bench just in case.

Doesn't change any of the entirely valid complaints about the DNC. They've been running on "vote for us because the GOP should scare you shitless" for a good long while now.

They don't have to do any better than not being as horrible/scary as the other guy and they know it. And the GOP usually gives them an awfully low bar.

Nah, your lifetime license will be fine. They'll just slightly rename the products, release them as "entirely new, unrelated products" and cease updating it under the old name. You can still use the old, never updated product in perpetuity, if you want...

The first time this happened to me was a MUD client of all things. zMUD discontinued, check out the new cMUD! Also available with a lifetime license just like zMUD was!

“What’s the pay? Do you do drug tests?”

MINIMUM FUCKING WAGE. DRUG TESTS.

In a lot of cases if you're driving a vehicle for commercial purposes, DOT requires a pre-employment drug test. Taxi drivers are one of those, and I imagine that's the regulation he's under.

I mean, yeah he's not paying nearly enough to attract people, but the drug tests aren't entirely up to him.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, so come on Mazzoni, provide said extraordinary evidence!

Odds are that at the most she can manage is evidence of 1-2 pedos being caught doing something vaguely adjacent to it and also claiming to be some flavor of LGBTQ, like how the GOP notion of drag queen story time is shaped entirely by that one library event in the UK (which is probably still the entire top page of Google results for "rainbow dildo butt monkey") and trans people by Jessica Yaniv.
