If you can only have one utensil and one dish it’d have to be a spork and one of those shallow bowl/plate hybrid things, right…?

The rent for regular apartments has basically doubled in the past couple years. You see studios go for $3000/mo, and 1 bedrooms for $4500+ quite often. I really hope this will have a helpful effect on lowering for the people who already live here, who can’t make ends meet because of absurd rental prices and hikes lately. There needs to be more housing and reasonable prices for people who live here. Compared to the median income here (and not the mean, because it’s not representative to count the billionaires), it’s literally not affordable for the people who grew up here and started their lives here, to afford to have a roof over their head. That’s why you see shit like 5 unrelated adults in a 1 bedroom apartment together, or a big extended family of multiple generations, partners, etc., all living under the same roof. Nobody can afford anything better here.

Yeah that’s super fucked up. Who the hell thinks this shit is a good idea. I’m so tired.

I don’t really enjoy these activities on their own, but I do enjoy some activities that I can do in conjunction. Listening to music or podcasts can be done at the same time as almost any workout. If you are working out at home, you could even watch tv or something. I enjoy being able to play a game or browse the web on my phone if I’m using a stationary bike. Basically what makes it tolerable for me is what I can do at the same time.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on one of those apps but do they not just ask for your birthday and simply calculate your age…? Surely dating apps don’t require you to update your age manually every year right…

I guess if you’re not using an app then sure but you could just as well tell your birth year and if it’s close enough it’s probably fine. 🤷

All clothes should be accepted based on functionality and practicality regardless of gender.

On Apollo, it was configurable what swipe actions did what.

The way I set it up was swiping right (icons on left) had upvote at a short swipe and save at a long swipe. Swiping left (icons on right) had collapse current comment at a short swipe and collapse entire comment tree from top parent at a long swipe.

I believe everything, no matter what you personally configured, was in the … menu as well. Since I rarely would downvote, and reading and saving/upvoting was more common for me than replying, I liked having the freedom to choose this setup. I think being able to customize the swipes similar to Apollo would allow more people to choose what works best for them.
