I have a hypothesis that many conservatives are reflexively opposed to change. So if you suggest putting in a bus lane, they'll fight you tooth and claw. But once you get it in, a couple years later, if someone suggests removing it those same people will fight tooth and claw to keep it.

In other words, sometimes they're stupid and don't have good reasons.

The video games in my house were downstairs, and one time I did a "Can I go downstairs?" instead of "Can I play video games?" when I knew they didn't want me playing more games. Thought it was a clever loophole. Only worked the one time, but got jokingly referenced for the next ten years.

I do feel like protests need to transition from "We're here with signs" to "No more labor until these problems are addressed," but I don't know how to get from here to there.

Fucking retire already.

Are there protests? Are people lining up in DC? I feel like the left is just broken and disorganized and losing on every front.

From what I read, at the time of the Kent State Massacre, something like 60% of americans blamed the students.

None of the men I know that are using the apps are looking for hookups. There are many such men, but there are lots of people looking for other stuff as well.

Thirded. People like to think that their match will be deep enough to look past something superficial like a bad photo, but that's not how most of us work. People see a decent photo and then check the rest.

You don't have to be a model or movie star. Good lighting. Clothes that fit. A background that's not, like, a dingy bathroom or your car.

As the other person said, it really depends on what people mean by "strict".

My parents were "strict" in that they enforced a bed time. Now I have better than average sleeping habits. So that worked out.

But I've also read about "strict" parents that, like, take doors off their kids rooms, or read the kids private messages, or other nightmares

What we need is an actual movement united in a common goal and working in lock step

Well at least we agree on this.

I often feel like the protests are performative, and never move onto the next steps of "we're withholding our labor until things improve" or what have you.

100%. Match group should be broken up.

There are too many headlines where the first half is exciting.
