Of course. How do you investigate harassment and identify site-killing lunatics without keyword searching.

It’s all stored and anyone who needs to see stuff their site hosts can get it. Plus - you’d be surprised how much criminal activity people are willing to discuss with strangers.

That there is already a good self deprecating joke. Don’t sell yourself short. Unless you ARE short, then may I recommend entering the priesthood

I worked for one of the major dating sites about a decade ago. Let me assure you, that people act like debased hyperhormonal chimps in heat when they think nobody is watching. Oh, and by the way - someone is ALWAYS watching.

If you’re a male who has some combination of a steady job, are remotely reliable, not drug or booze addled, have most of your teeth and hair and can tell a joke and hold a conversation - you’re golden. It is UTTERLY unfair to ladies, but just being able to hold that low bar will get you much farther than you might think.

It’s a strange dilemma - for a dating site to suceed, you have to protect the women. From the guys’ perspective, it’s shouting into the void, on the off chance you might EVER stand out enough to get a reply a week. From a woman’s perspective, it’s like the ozone layer protecting a constant bombardment of radiation and lethal rocks from space. A cornucopia of typically BAD CHOICES that manage to slip through the various cracks that the sites/apps put up to protect them.

But - the women ARE the site. If you have the WOMEN, then the men would follow you buck naked through the flaming tar pits of hell to get to them. But - the average male is a monosyllabic goblin with skeletons in his closet and bad intentions much more often than you’d think. It’s why Bumble tried female-only communication initiation. The women on dating sites have an invisible shield tbey don’t even realize exists around them to prevent bots, unsolicited dick pics, one word messages, repeat-offense harassers, and wide-net-casting quagmires who have more deeply held mysoginstic beliefs than they do good pick up lines.

“… and THAT’S why it’s totally justified for me to have murdered thousands of my own citizens, rather than behave like a democratically elected leader”.

Capital punishment, by other means

Rogan is the great litmus test for our society. He’s what a stupid person thinks a smart person is, just like how Trump is what a moron thinks a rich, successful person is.

So obviously such a complete dope grifter for anyone with an IQ greater than their shoe size, and yet he serves a purpose by being the standard of who should bother to talk to in life. If anyone you know says “you know, Joe Rogan said something interesting the other day…”, well - then you know you can nod politely, and ignore everything that person saiys going forward.

The problem is, everyone THINKS that they’re the woman in this meme.

Is the real play here to try and make account sharing more difficult? Encourage more membership purchases?

Been a shopper there for 30 years - they’re not a company that makes changes willy nilly. Even if you can get into the store without a card, you can’t buy anything without one. Surely the cost of sneaky samplers isn’t the main thrust of this.

Reddit is a media company now, they’re not a community. Tons and tons of ads, thin skinned moderators with God complexes running completely out of control, and they now have platform profit responsibility.

Will cost them - this is a significant change to, by definition, some of their most popular content. Many people go to Reddit purely to find non-paywalled versions of content.

Trained eye liner wearing monkey follows orders with absurd publicity stunts, showing exactly what sort of performative clown show you’d get if they’re elected, instead of actual policies and governance.

Well - why would he be? Trump didn’t accept it last time, and this is well and truly the end of the road for him if he doesn’t win. He’s 77 as it is, but zero point zero zero zero zero percent chance he gets this close again.

And the cost of not winning is monumental. It’s victory or destruction for the vulgar talking yam. If he’s no longer of any use to Russia, imagine what information might come out about him, especially if they themselves descend into instability.

Trump never accepts any defeat, ever. It’s always a disgrace, the worst, most nasty this and that that’s so unfair to him. Of course he’s not going to accept a defeat. What the adults do about it is the important variable.

Given his legal trouble, he very truly could either be president or imprisoned. he probably has less money than he wants us to believe, fleeing to Russia or Venezuela etc isn’t really an option. His money will just be seized by the state and he will be disposed of as an impotent, toothless old hippo, only capable of making noise, with no more use to offer anyone.

Like battery acid/Plasticine and cheap cookware. Kind of like the used pots aisle of a Goodwill

Kind of torn to be honest. I find AOC’s tit for tat brattiness to be pretty unproductive. And when you get into a fight with a pig, you both get covered in mud and the pig loves it.

But - just being the adult at taking blows hasn’t worked for anyone else since these smooth brains chidlish antics because their primary attack tool. Maybe that’s why “weird” is getting some traction. It is a backhanded insult that doesn’t really demean you the same way as back and forth churlishness does.

Whatever gets under the republicans’ skin is fine and dandy.

I mean - the “psychology” behind it is to try and apply a childish playground nickname that damages him. Sleepy Joe, Lyin’ Chuck Schumer, Low Energy Jeb Bush. The template isn’t complicated. huRr DuRr tampons are gross and icky, and for ladies, let’s try and make people think Walz is gross and icky. While the number of MAGAts is never going to be zero, there doesn’t seem to be quite as much childish frenzy around his name calling as there once was.
