I've long since blocked HexBear , but will occasionally click the "show me anyway" button just to validate that decision. I'm somehow still surprised by the advanced stage brainrot every time.

a= "birds are dinos"

b= "dinos are reptiles"

c= "birds are reptiles"

Structure: If a then b, therefore c

a does not imply b without an additional statement (which we can assume from the rest would be "because birds are reptiles")

You've basically just said birds are reptiles because birds are reptiles

Eugenics is not inherently bad, it's just frequently used as an excuse to do really evil shit.

The fuckers already raised the price to "compete with inflation". I might have been able to accept that by itself, but with this shit added in? It really reveals their intent.

The worst part of it is that those same assholes that insisted on micro transactions will blame every other aspect of the game before admitting that it did poorly on release because of the blatant money grabbing.

Kinda sucks when you don't drink though. Best advice I've heard was to take up a social hobby, but I haven't a clue what that would be either.

Like you said, find an excuse to leave your house I guess.

Recreational weed was on the same ballot and both passed. Ohio actually managed to do two things right, which is a pleasant change of pace.

I'd be worried that this will be used as a screen to kill "undesirables" without scrutiny.

That's a weird take on this. Not liking or being good at small talk does not equate with disliking the person. It certainly doesn't mean you "hate interacting with them".

I have used dating apps and there's a fundamental problem with them. They have all been monetized past the point of usability.

Say somebody matches you; you get a notification that you received a like, but can't view who did so unless you shell out $20-40 for a week. So the notification just pulls you back to the app for no benefit.

So your only real option for use is to just like as many people as possible in the hopes that one of them has liked you already, so you can send a message. But don't think "Well I'll just like the people I like and it will work out"

See most of these apps will use your "looking for" info to make a list of "people we think you'll like". Some of them are real accounts. Many are payed to play along and then ghost you. All of them are locked behind additional payments for messages or even matching in the first place.

Unless you are willing to pay the premium tier for access to what we're basic features on a free a decade ago, it's just not worth your time.
