  • Either there is or you're a probabilistic anomaly because they clearly didn't match with you. Have you tried changing it? Have you looked at other men's profiles? Showed it to girls and asked if it's good? Gone on other apps?

    Or, if it's a waste of time, try something else? Men outnumber women on dating apps, plus it's a marketing game. In marketing, when a strategy doesn't get hits, you change it. Seek out other audiences, different platforms, new spaces, hire a consultant(a therapist.)

  • No ones owes you a match. Not the app or the women on it. If you don't make a profile people want to match with, that's on you.

  • I'm a chick. Ignore this if you want.

    However, I'm a slut who likes a good hook-up but had years-long monogamous relationships as well. I'm absolutely average looking and have mostly been with men who range from hot as fuck twinks to conventionally unattractive socially anxious weirdos. My last relationship was with an autistic 5'6" guy I met on a dating app, it started as a hook-up and lasted three years.

    I look for chill people with passions, who know who they are and what they want. Or, are at least introspective enough to see themselves. Looks aren't a big factor, but cleanliness and effort are. The single dad angle shot doesn't do anyone any favors.

    Just from looking at your comments, you're coming in here with a defeatest mindset. People who haven't had much luck can get trapped in that kind of negativity, it works its way into how they hold themselves and what they say in ways they don't even realize. I unmatch with people as soon as they bring that into the conversation. Self-deprecating humor is alright, when carefully done, but risky on first impressions. If I'm looking for a fun hook-up, I want someone who looks and sounds fun.

  • I think a heat sensor would do just as well since the butthole is hotter. Unless there's some rogue splashes, in which case it might work on low res/high contrast to avoid identifying video. Or maybe lidar, but then it might just shoot the pimples.

    All I know is if we start training AI bidet cameras on millions of videos of dirty assholes we're going to get a version of skynet no one is prepared for.

    I have an astonishingly stupid question about feeding my cat. Help please?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the back-up, yeah I agree. I just don't want to assume anyone's situation in case they already know about the food thing. I've had a ton of cats and two of my BFF's are pet health industry lifers.

    Cats eat fast because they're still programmed to get all the nutrition they can, when they can, so it's unlikely they would throw up from that unless there was something fucked with their digestive system already, and allergies can cause long term damage. Wheat products are cheap filler, too, with almost no nutritional value for a cat.

  • It's called a slow feeder dish and they're more commonly sold as dog bowls or mats, which are usually just bumpy trays with obstacles to eat around. You might have more luck looking at dog products.

    However, my unsolicited advice is to try switching the food. You may have done this already, or tried tonnes of things, and if so, just ignore this. But it's not normal for a cat to throw up often, aside from the odd hairball.

    Cats can have food allergies and sensitivities, and a lot of foods use the same ingredients regardless of what the label says. Cats can develop allergies by eating the same thing all the time, too.

    Chicken, for example, is one of the most common allergies and it's present in like 90% of cat food. Another is wheat. Cheap foods are like junk food, too, they'll use ingredients to get animals to eat them, rather than what's good for them. This can make it harder to switch foods.

    If you do try an exclusion diet, don't trust the label — check the actual ingredients. The protein on the label (fish/lamb/turkey) should be the first ingredient. Switch them over slowly by mixing it into the regular food by increasing amounts. The best foods can be found at pet stores, at least where I'm from. Grocery and wholesale stores rarely have anything decent.

  • Funny enough, I had a friend who was born without arms. He's got a special stick with different shapes and hooks he can manipulate rather easily with his shoulders and chin. It's kind of amazing how quickly he can button/unbutton his pants, tie his shoes, etc after years of practice.

  • The thorn is just another thing.

    I could start a comment saying "As a woman" or "As a feminist" that would polarize readers before stating a point. I could phrase things more simplistically, or in purple prose, and that would change people's opinions of what I have to say, too. Those choices could be important enough that someone won't care if a few lemmings won't read it. What people say in response becomes part of the discourse they decided to open by communicating the way they did.

    Using the thorn is a neat way to get people thinking about language and how information is presented. It is a more efficient letter for a specific sound, and it only took me a sentence to get used to it and read the rest of the comment seamlessly. Mch lk rmvng vwls. Ornotusingspaces.

    But I'm a communication nerd.

  • Thank you for trying to bring back the þorn.

    I wish there was an easy way to do it on a phone keyboard, along with the æsh.

    I agree, DHH is an open, unapologetic racist. He should not be given any benefit of the doubt unless he expresses genuine remorse and a drastic change in perspective.
