oh yeah church and martial arts are big for making friends for me. theyre both kind of static social spaces where the same people show up consistently which makes them less attractive as places to Meet Someone. rec league sports probably better

Srice posted:one thing I do like about bumble is that at least you can just make a one-time purchase for all the premium features and that's that. is it stupid pricey to do that? yeah and it sucks, but all other dating apps have become way more stupid with the way they've escalated their subscription pricing too. also I don't like the future the CEO wants to take the app with in regards to AI symbolic posted:unironically the best venue I've found for making/solidifying friendships in my adult life is anime cons lol but yeah definitely found some amazing folks at conventions before. it helps having a conversation piece to stand out with, like I would lug this fuckin 4 foot long thing around at PAX:  and tons of people would just walk up to chat because of it but also, like, I am extremely introverted and can hold a conversation fine, but get exhausted just from talking to people. pretty sure there's a comic of that striped shirt gremlin webcomic I forget the name of that perfectly represents exactly that

Normally it would be cold enough for hoodies and jackets now, but its still way too hot for those. Long hot summers also tend to have the worst winters because the Great Lakes stay warmer longer and that creates poo poo tons of snow and freezing rain once the cold weather actually hits.

Captain Invictus posted:the $200 thing? I decided to go with that yeah because OKCupid's ultra premium deal back in the day was $150 a year, so $200 for lifetime isn't bad. and it does give it much more utility, and also does give you some weekly perks. however, it also doesn't stop it from constantly pushing you to buy the neverending microtransactions for boosts and "comments" and poo poo like that. it also still doesn't have some search options I would like, like being able to hide(or specify!) certain options people can pick, that sort of thing. the search is decent, but nowhere near what it should be imo. also, bots are definitely a problem(on any dating app, really), and clicking "verified only" just results in me getting like 5 results before it starts giving me results in fuckin timbuktu or brazil. yea, definitely wish it had way more search options. considering the stuff you can search for it's baffling how you can't filter for something like, say, interests, while you can search for stuff like star signs. and yeah, that AI pivot really bites. I just assume that anyone who owns a popular dating app sucks a lot.

Don't have no faux leather nor Akira jacket but I do have a nice proper leather jacket that I'm still waiting to pull out of the closet when it gets cool enough. It's been one of those days where it's beautiful outside except that I've been walking directly into the sun on my way to and from places and it's been beating down pretty hard.
