  • I (20 Year Old Male for context) tried a few except Tinder (I’ve always been told Tinder is just for Hookups).

    Did you find a partner using it? Nope. I met my current partner after ditching the apps, while looking for people to play Stardew with of all things.

    How long did you use it? About a week for each.

    What did you think about it? It struck me as exploitative of people’s loneliness and very reductionist with reducing the process down to something with no human interaction. I’d almost go as far to say it’s dehumanizing.

    How many matches did you get? 1.

    What problems did you see? There’s the aforementioned exploitation. It kind of makes it harder in my opinion to get to know anyone like you would traditionally.

    Do you think it’s a good way to meet other people? I don’t think so. I wouldn’t say it never works, but I don’t think chances are high.

    What did you use it for / what was your intention? I was looking for a long term partner and relationship.








  • That’s how I was when my childhood dog passed. So many things I’d do that reminded me of her. At one point, as absurd as it was, I couldn’t play something as basic as Minecraft without having to shut it down because it reminded me of her. Just recently we lost a kitten that wasn’t going to make it, and the space heater we had keeping him warm made me cry whenever I saw it.

    Your cat is very lucky to have been loved like that. I’m sure he knew that










  • I ran my school’s D&D club in Highschool. At one point my Grandma came along to watch me and my Siblings while my parents were out of the house for a month and when i told her that i’d need picked up later on certain days for D&D club, she went off on this long rant about how ‘D&D is satanic’ and then something about how ‘Obama eats babies’. To this day i’m literally shocked she believes that junk.
