Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:

Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.

Looking to make someone laugh.

Self deprecation.

  • OkCupid.com (founded 2004) asked users a wide range of multiple-choice questions. It then went further by also asking them to specify the responses to those same questions they wanted to see from prospective partners

    Yet another example of a feature dumbed down for seemingly no reason… In another comment I mentioned removing features, and this one mentioned here used to have a section for you to elaborate on your response… They removed it just a few years ago for god knows what reason, making that questions section worse…

    “Do pets have souls: yes/no”

    …well normally I’d say “no” and then elaborate with “because I don’t believe in souls, I don’t think anyone has a soul. We have personalities and I believe animals have them too.”

    Now I just look like some heartless psycho “no, animals don’t have souls.”


  • I have been on and off dating apps for over 10 years. I witnessed what they did to them.

    Enshittification to the maximum. Sites literally REMOVED useful functions and put others behind paywalls. You used to be able to set tags of interests and search by tags as well to find people into the same things as you, but that stops you from swipe swipe swipe swipe swipe… Swipe swipe is time spent on the app which increases the chance you start feeling desperate and pay them for the increased functionality of… Seeing who likes you… Other sites used to let you actually browse who was near you, not swipe, but have a list of people to look through. That’s not swipe swipe swipe pulling the dopamine lever so gotta give it the axe.

    I mostly blame Match Group. Any dating site that actually worked well was bought by them and stripped down to be tinder 2.0 clones.

    The more difficult it is to use the more likely they are to get you feeling desperate which is how they get you to pay up. No thanks.

    It’s just a mouthful to have to parse out every segment of that generation that is cool when his audience, and the people most likely to get mad about him, are of the boomer generation.

    I’m not sure what the federal worker bit has to do with it. It was mostly a joke in that the people most likely to be his fans are boomers, he comes out and says what he did, and now they hate him.
