  • The apps hadn’t been so thoroughly ruined by Match Group yet. OKCupid used to publish interesting detailed reports about dating habits. Plenty of Fish wasn’t full of bots and scammers. The apps that charged you for basic features were largely avoided. The experience was weird and new.

    The dating app landscape as it is now is basically just whichever is the latest one until Match acquires it.










  • This is also probably the real reason they’re taking a harder stance against mods. Within 24 hours, there’s already a mod on Nexus that adds one of the items you can buy with real money to an early vendor for like 1 coin.

    There’s also another mod that just makes all items 1 coin, so it shouldn’t be too hard for modders to just completely circumvent the bullshit mtx.


  • From personal experience, that pharmacist salary is offset by insane pressure from management to meet metrics that keep going up and requiring a fair amount of unpaid overtime put in to keep the queues from overflowing.

    Then you’ve got a 50:50 chance of a new tech being insane and or stupid because the good ones have long since burned out. They usually are union, though, so good for them.

    There’s a reason pharmacists in the US are starting to drop dead on the job.







  • There was a moment in my life where I walked around late night Baltimore and talked with the trans sex workers about how things were going. They had a remarkably (sadly?) complex system with how they communicate to each other up and down the streets to keep each other safe.

    A week or so later, I found an older article from a local paper on microfiche about how specifically black trans sex workers in Baltimore have had ridiculously high murder and assault rates for a long time now and too many people just don’t care enough to do anything about it.

    I don’t know how, but yeah. Something’s gotta change.
