A wealthy man from Soth Africa has weird views on eugenics? I’m shocked!

They’ve left out pears, and I’ve chosen to take that as a personal insult.

Is a Romano as unpleasant as it looks? I’m having a hard time understanding the appeal.

Do the French dislike honey?

It varies so greatly in quality that most of it just tastes like drinking a scented candle. It doesn’t help that I hate clove, which is frequently used in the spice blend.

By all means, try it if you get the chance. My experience with the flavor has been decidedly negative.

There’s silly references and then there’s just plain stupid. I can continue Dungeon Crawler Carl because it pulls back at least a little on the stupid. I put down Noobtown and won’t be picking it back up again.

Use of Weapons is next in the series and it is truly excellent. I like it better than both Games and Phlebas, though I haven’t read a Banks novel I actually disliked.

I use the same name for most things out of habit, but I wouldn’t be too put out if it is taken when signing up for something new.

I have used dating apps and there’s a fundamental problem with them. They have all been monetized past the point of usability.

Say somebody matches you; you get a notification that you received a like, but can’t view who did so unless you shell out $20-40 for a week. So the notification just pulls you back to the app for no benefit.

So your only real option for use is to just like as many people as possible in the hopes that one of them has liked you already, so you can send a message. But don’t think “Well I’ll just like the people I like and it will work out”

See most of these apps will use your “looking for” info to make a list of “people we think you’ll like”. Some of them are real accounts. Many are payed to play along and then ghost you. All of them are locked behind additional payments for messages or even matching in the first place.

Unless you are willing to pay the premium tier for access to what we’re basic features on a free a decade ago, it’s just not worth your time.

Additives?
