The cheap trick is to buy your competitors

Yeah but what percentage of subscription costs go to paying creators?

Especially considering that YouTube gets the content for almost free

Don’t go to a teaching hospital that’s always a mistake unless you have some really abnormal problem

Did congress fix the pipeline problem? Seems like no

Dating isn’t an interview. It can be but it doesn’t have to be. The less of a formal interview it is the more you get a taste for if you like hanging out with the person.

You develop an eye for it eventually. Some people unavailable, some are just not interested that night, some are hostile. These things change through the night so someone that was hostile earlier might warm up or become friendly over time. The body language is Usally a good tell.

They are also other signs that hint towards compatibility such as wealth, class, education, social anxiety you get a feel for it over time. I would trust that over what you see in a profile. Not that you can’t lie on those just that it’s much harder. Plus The dark things people tell you after a drink or 2 would often be enough to get one cancelled off the internet.

Also keep in mind that a lot of people screened themselves out just by not going out. All those gals that don’t have anything money, live with their parents and go to bed at 9 or have no friends. You won’t find them at the bar but on tinder you might

It’s kind of annoying I’m better friends with the moms of my kids friends than I am the dads. The dads want nothing to do with other dads but the moms are friendly and we chat way more. Even the dads that should be a great friend match we just never seem to make time for each other.

All my male friends are either from college or work, and like you said they tend to forget you if you don’t follow up.

Umm have you seen pictures of what a share cropper looked like during the depression? Not much dissimilar to a concentration camp survivor

A movie about unexceptional people doing unexceptional things? Nope can’t think of many movies that would have that. Exceptional people tend to be egotistical assholes that take extreme risks and they make movies about the ones that succeed or fail spectacularly

Not limited to males. Most people have poor capacity for introspection and self improvement

The average kind of sucks for everyone. Being average single is a lot better than average income family. Raising your average family of 4 on an average 61k salary just seems like hell in any major metro. Better just Netflix and seek other validation.

Yeah but they will fail because they stuck at marketing. It’s like business sometimes you have the right product but you just can’t get it in front of your customers so they actually buy it

Yeah but would you date/marry a house husband? If you are earning big bucks you kind of need someone to stay home and take care of the kids/house/laundry/dinner etc. For one most mothers never trained their boys for that role but even if some did would you seek that man out for dating? I would guess not, so it’s an adverse selection problem with adverse results

The age math sucks for women too. If she wants a career she has a short window to get experience and find a spouse before she gets pregnant.

If she wants a doctorate she has to be married before she enters the workforce.

She has time for maybe 1-3 long term relationships before she ages out of childbearing age.

So yes women have more options but they also have less time to pick the right one.

That’s because tinder makes them think that those people are in their dating pool. In reality those men will happily sleep with them like they did with the 50 other women but aren’t interested in more.

Also 200k is the new 6 figures, 100k doesn’t cut it anymore

People who have failed at relationships by 35 probably also bad at them or have other negative qualities. The pool isn’t great for men or women.

It is damn near impossible to buy high quality frozen food. It’s like they is no market for it. If it’s frozen it’s made with the shittiest low quality low effort process. I know high quality food can be frozen because I make it all the time but I can’t buy it

It’s actually a high effort app trying to pass as a low effort app. The worst of both worlds

As a straight male I’ve always found dating men for friendship was a lot harder than dating women

Higher effort threshold yields less competition.

The volume in the bar is a lot higher than you would expect. On a good night I could hit 3-4 bars with 50-100 people each. Easily screen off most, and talk to say 5-10. I’m by no means attractive but I could Usually get a number and convert 1/3 or 1/4 into a date. The difference is that I didn’t have to swipe on the bulk of the candidates I rejected but also that those initially rejected still had a chance if a positive interaction happened.

Compare that to 50 per day out of a pretty poor pool and stiff competition and your odds are not looking great.

CPS has had massive overreach in power. Somehow they are now both able to make life difficult for decent parents and are just as bad or worse at protecting at risk youth. I think they probably realized that they would have an easier time going after struggling but generally decent parents vs going after complete degenerates.

Depends on your interests… If your interest is FPS gaming and you are a straight male it’s probably not a good spot. If you have an interest in sewing then maybe odds are you your favor. Still just common interests isn’t enough dating takes active effort like work it does not magically happen for most

It works because you can do high volume screening quickly. In theory online dating was supposed to speed that up even more increasing volume and improving results. Unfortunately the online screening was too fast and you end up over screening and throwing away too many potential matches and selecting bad candidates because Most people aren’t actually sure what they want.

Why not just mix sunscreen ingredients in soap? Then you would be providing some minimal protection all the time. It’s not super effective but you can make claims that it protects against the sun.

The actual risk has changed. The risk vector is different though. Where before the risk was from a predator, now the risk is from a “Karen” calling CPS on you as well as the social costs of other people judging you as a bad parent.

GAS can be very economical if you buy used high end gear. If like me you change hobbies every 2-3 years you can sell the high end gear for what you bought it for. GFS is much more expensive as your custom built stuff has very little resale value, even if acquisition costs originally were cheaper the resale is Usally a fraction of cost.

Safety standards, lawsuits and a generally unfavorable trade environment

Evs are great fun toys that I would absolutely recommend to anyone that can afford them and lives in a 2 car household. They are not currently an acceptable replacement for an ICE car in the United States due to infrastructure problems. I would bet we need 10-15 years to get that to an acceptable state
