I met the BEST fwb’s on okcupid.

The app changed a lot and it sucks now.

Millennials brought back eating ass, that’s for sure.

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.)

It’s under reported just how much the government, the RCMP and the pipeline companies fucked with these people. I’ve been to the Wet’suwet’en blockade by Smithers for work, where we were followed by low flying helicopters all day long and later questioned by RCMP. The leaders didn’t want a pipeline across the main river they use for water and food.

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.

Hey, fair enough. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

Well that’s kinda nuts. At some jobs we used “safety whistles” but they were pretty ineffective because everyone just thought they were excited birds. Granted, we were in the forest.

I can’t think of a situation where I’d hear a whistle at night and assume someone was getting raped.

Guess again.

“She and her husband had come home from playing wallyball, a combination of racquetball and volleyball…”

Love that they included this.

It brings me hope that people aren’t afraid to harass ICE and report on wallyball.

What the hell is a rape whistle?

They were lucid, in a dream.

Someone in a lucid dream can have different levels of control and awareness.

I’ve been naturally lucid dreaming since I was six. At times I can be 100% aware, to the point where I’m actively trying to keep myself asleep (figure that out, I still don’t understand how it works,) to where I know it’s a dream but don’t entirely comprehend what that means.

I can experience changes in lucidity throughout a dream, because I’m still not conscious. I’m not controlling absolutely everything I see and feel, I’m just driving the narrative and forming memories while my brain fills in the blanks. In a lucid dream you’re not your body, you’re a projection of yourself in your mind’s randomly generated theater while physiological mechanisms are doing their best to keep you from boxing your cat/partner/wall in your sleep, so it makes sense your body would feel difficult to control in a dream, because you’re still just imagining what movement feels like.

How common they are depends on the person and the circumstances around them, because people can train themselves to lucid dream. Medication, drugs, routines, mental health etc. can all impact how someone dreams.

That’s because my comment, overall, was about how choices in communication impact how a message is received, comparing something as direct as a statement to the subtlety of style.

Fair enough. I don’t seek out YouTube drama so I don’t know anything not sent my way, but the JonTron thing left a bad enough taste I stopped following him.

I had no idea about the other shit, but it kinda makes sense given the tone of his videos regarding SJWs, women, tumblr, etc.

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.

Illuminaughtii was pretty wild.

JonTron said all that Great Replacement Theory racist shit but collab’d with Internet Historian on his B channel some time after. Haven’t followed him in a long time so I donno is his career suffered.

Onision is nuts in so many dark and strange ways that were completely predictable.

Among them all I’m so glad that Internet Comment Etiquette has always been my favorite. Eric is a good boy.

When I say some geese are white, it’s not the same as saying all white things are geese.

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.
