I think people's biggest fear with paying for the apps is that they'll end up in a situation where they are just throwing good money after bad and not getting anything for it. Then you get into the sunk cost fallacy and it's really difficult to get yourself out of that headspace.

The problem is the apps say that they have recommendations that you only have to pay to unlock but I don't believe them.

Yeah and they all suck as a result.

I keep meaning to have a proper look into it and see if there are any actual dating site / apps that are independent. It's a massive pain because usually you can't really tell if an app is going to be any good or if it's just another clone until after you've already signed up. It's quite the time investment.

There are of course things like hobby clubs you can join but you have to get lucky with those. There risk that you will just be distracted and end up with an expensive hobby.

Assuming we ever actually get a price. Still no word on that.

Because he's a petulant man child who not only does he not think two moves ahead, he doesn't even think about the current move. You could go all the way back into human pre-history and struggle to find a more useless person.

He really cannot understand the concept of "No"

Well it was 90 years ago, which in American history is the same as about 500 years everyone else.

I'm so confused by this world war 2 in reverse we seem to be doing. Who's attacking pearl harbor this time around, is it Europe?

Honestly the most surprising part of all of that was that they're hiring women. These thugs tend to be every -ist they can find, including sexist.

It would be funny if they end up hiring too many normal people and as a result the whole thing falls apart.

I can't remember the exact quote but it's something along the lines of the path to hell is lined with people who stayed and tried to do a good thing in a bad world.

Sometimes all you can do is quit.
