Fare changes usually are slower to change than gas prices for customers at the gas station. Bus fare in NYC is $3, and they can’t just change that day by day. (Unless our new mayor makes the buses free to ride!)
It might be more expensive as energy costs go up, but services aren’t supposed to be run at a profit. The value in a mass transit system is very high.
But there is probably an impact. Now I’m curious about how they decide the fares
I don’t intentionally consume caffeine. No coffee. Only herbal tea. No energy drinks. There might be some in chocolate, but I don’t eat much chocolate.
When I was a kid my whole family were like coffee fiends. Couldn’t get going without a cup. I never wanted to be like that.
NYC. $0. Walk and take transit. Sorry, I’m insufferable about this but it’s really nice.
Bad idea. Fertile ground for abuse, intentional or otherwise. As others have said, it’s hubris to think one or two untrained adults can do professional grade teaching.
All tools are not equally safe nor should they all be publicly available.
A chainsaw is a tool that you might cause harm with if you use it in stupid ways. We don’t give chainsaws out to children. We don’t use chainsaws for cutting dinner.
There are human elements to the problem but that’s not a big reveal.
The insurance companies want to make money.
There are no (enforced) laws prohibiting this behavior.
Very few insurance company decision makers are murdered in the street.
Change one or more of these, and you’ll get better results.
Sure, being too picky can lead to loneliness. But that’s kind of off topic from “you’ll have more rolls of the dice in a place with more people”, which was my earlier argument.
I wouldn’t want to settle for someone with no shared interests and a not-my-type body just because they’re here. Everyone involved deserves better.
“you’ll settle for whoever’s around” is a compelling argument - if whoever is around happens to be good enough
Bit of a tautology there. My point is if there’s only 1 person of your age/gender(s) then it’s longer odds they’re going to be a good match. Sure, they might be “good enough” but wouldn’t you rather have “great”?
Hm maybe I’ll try that. Looks like there’s an android version
I’m don’t think “you’ll settle for whoever’s around” is a compelling argument.
Furthermore, there are few places where it’s actually like a rom-com and the waitress sets you up. There can’t be a lot of people in that situation because then there wouldn’t be so few people that they can be matched up. Most people live in cities or suburban wastelands.
Well, they can be unhappy about it but that doesn’t change how you’ll have more chances of meeting a partner where there’s more people doing more stuff.
Dating apps. They suck, but there’s a lot you can do (without paying money) to improve your odds.
Go to meetups. They exist for hobbies (board games, running, bird watching) and regions (North Brooklyn hangout). Don’t go cruising but go for the thing and meet people.
Join a rec sport league. There’s a bunch of soccer ones here.
If you live somewhere shitty, you’re going to have a worse time. I live in a big city so there’s a lot of people doing stuff. If I lived out in the sticks, there might be a dozen people of my desired age and gender(s) total.
Firefox. It’s fine. The ai stuff is concerning , but nothing’s caused me enough pain to switch yet
Seems fair. Was a pretty big fuck up. Might deter others from making similar fuck ups.
That was always a bad idea and feeds my mild Cassandra complex.
No government should be relying on private platforms like that.
The suits at Microsoft are out of their fucking minds.
Yes. They are stupid and don’t deserve their huge paychecks.
They could’ve done basically nothing. Maybe security updates. And they would’ve had a decent brand that kept bringing in money. Their leadership is worse than doing nothing. A dog would make a better ceo.
I would be more than willing to carry around my own spoon, fork, and more, if it meant less plastic crap everywhere
I like the idea. I don’t want to use facebook or similar, but that’s where stuff like “BuyNothing” is most active.
Unfortunately, I don’t know much about self hosting (beyond what I’ve picked up working in software development) so I don’t see myself running one of these myself. I’d probably use it if it came to my neck of the woods (NYC)

They really think we’re stupid. Unfortunately, they may be mostly right.
I think I had a small amount of alcohol at weddings and new years celebrations when I was a teenager.
My parents don’t have the healthiest relationship with alcohol. it’s not the worst, but it never seemed cool or fun. It was just dad having a few cheap beers while watching the game. They never told me not to drink, either. No “forbidden fruit” allure.
