The great millennial garbage gyre

  • Whats it like in general? I uninstalled after I realized I can only pull porn bots shilling Instagram. I rather just die alone.

  • I'm so glad I've never had to date officially. My first two girlfriends I met at school the latter of which I was in a relationship after school, which was good. My current partner is, strangely, also related to the school I've been to as we've met via a common acquaintance. Getting to know each other happened mostly via texts and then through meetings - unofficial dates, I guess - and the rest is history.

    I can't imagine the stress of using these dating platforms constantly. Putting yourself out the over and over again, meeting all kinds of people for a shred of possible companionship. Must be so exhausting. Don't even wanna think about what the experience must be for women* and female-presenting people

  • Strangely enough, I've got a couple of friends on Tinder who have noticed that their pool of people gets much better after their age rolls over "40".

    Whatever it is about the Tinder algorithm automatically seeds the worst, grossest, weirdest, gnarlest dudes to anyone under that line. And then anyone over that line gets access to the pool of "normals".

  • If that's the face you make looking at the trash floating on the surface at that age, you're gonna love the "whale fall" experience of the years that follow after — to say nothing of finally reaching the sea floor and it's just crustaceans forever.
