Very 'inspirational', but as useless as your previous reply.

Finding a romantic partner should come naturally from making friends. Friend may introduce you to a romantic partner, or they could become one.

That's a lovely idea, unfortunately a lot of us are growing old waiting for this bullshit.

I don't agree with everything the guy above you said, but my circumstances are very similar to his.

I have friends, but they don't know anyone they can introduce me to.

Sports are off the table due to both health problems and a lack of interest (do you really want group activities to be full of disinterested guys just there to chat up chicks?), never mind that they're all heavily male-dominated around here.

Local councils put on events, but they are either for children, for mothers, or for seniors.

Everything has been turned into a product to be sold to you, almost every event costs money, and when you do pony up the events are somewhere between borderline scams and actual scams.

This is a recurring issue with this subject. Someone offers advice, someone points out why that advice isn't very applicable, and the first person makes no attempt to "adapt and overcome" themselves and either a) offer better advice, or b) admit that they don't have any better suggestions.

Calling it a thirst trap is too innocent. These dating app companies are scum-sucking vampires designed to make most people feel lonely and desperate enough to give them money in perpetuity. People just handed one of the most important and intimate aspects of their lives over to US tech bros, pressured everyone else to do the same, and two whole generations are not just having less sex than their parents, but half of them have never had a long-term relationship as they're approaching 30.

This post is inaccurate. Neither WiFi nor GPS use FHSS, nor is Lamarr anything close to singularly credited with FHSS' invention (the earliest patent is credited to Nikola Tesla). This also implies that the Allies used her parent - they did not.

Also Richard Easton is the son of the man who invented GPS and had every right to be skeptical of this claim, and it looks like Internet dipsh*ts have bullied him into deleting his twitter account over this.

Can confirm, the spiders swear like sailors.

I wouldn't mind the star trek stuff if star trek fans could meme. So much painfully shit spam from those boards.

Do yourself a favour and don't read the possible side effects on the back of the box of paracetamol you bought from the supermarket.

You search for one thing and it starts showing recommendations.

I fail to see how this is a bad thing. Youtube's old default homepage would show scam and content mill recommendations.

I can't be sure it's morally acceptable to bring a new life into the world just to struggle until death.

That has been true for just about everyone throughout history.

the game changes yet again and you get knocked back down to the peg you started on.

People in the developed world not having kids is part of how they 'win' the game.

The reason boomers were able to demand so much is because, as the name implies, they're a big fucking cohort. They were politically influential from the time they could vote. Keeping birthrates depressed and shipping in cheap foreign labour is how those with power keep everyone else powerless.

It's a weird situation, but the way to improve living standards for future generations is to... have future generations. Even if you don't feel like you can entirely support them now.

Had a look at it, seems to lack dedicated modifier and cursor keys. Looking specifically for a PC-style keyboard.

Does anyone know of an alternative to Hacker's Keyboard? It hasn't been updated for about 5 years and I'm worried it will stop working on newer versions of Android.
