You’re right, I’ll retract the recommendation 😉

I met my partner on an app relatively recently and would not have met them otherwise. It can be a way to meet interesting people that you would not easily come across otherwise.

But, there are some caveats.

I would recommend trying a few and finding one that fits your interests/people in your area actually use.

Also investigate what the apps do with your data. You are sharing some very personal/sensitive data with them. Make sure they take good care of it.

Some apps seem to be pay-to-win. Do keep that in mind. Also, do keep in mind you are in the minority as a guy. Don’t feel discouraged if it takes a long time to get any matches. I notice I can get somewhat addicted to scrolling through the apps and get discouraged when no one seems to like me. If that’s the case make sure to not open the app for a while and go outside.

I personally think Feeld is one of the least bad ones, because it is great for different kinds of relationships and that fits me well, as well as they seem to take somewhat value my privacy and data. I also tend to pay for apps I actually use, because when the product is free, I am the product. Remember these companies have costs as well.

Still, nothing beats starting conversations with people in real life. Just be friendly, open, interested and don’t expect anything from the other party straight away.

You’ll be fine!

Pretty sure all your electronics are imported from another country. That what the carrot is complaining about though, isn’t he?

I’m 35 (M) and recently got one ear pierced and my first tattoo. I should have done this way sooner, I feel much more like myself now.

Tattoo is an image of a vintage boxer, but it’s a girl instead of a guy with a moustache. I mostly just think it looks nice, but I also like the “Don’t fck with this chick”-vibe of it.

It is true what they say though, I’m constantly planning next tattoos now.

I learned quite a lot of Norwegian by just beig in Norway for three months. I especially enjoyed watching television with the subtitles for the hearing impared turned on.

Another option that the pros (like politicians etc.) like a lot: Nonnen van Vught.

Then I haven’t said anything, but you’re also not the person I was writing about 😉

I cannot deny I prefer to eat a bit too much hollandaise with them, but I also really enjoy them “au natural”.

I even like them from a jar.

I’m not sure why though. Just taste I guess.

I think what helps with the hype is that they are quite seasonal, so when they are available you hear a lot of people talk about them maybe?

Same with Rhubarb and “pepernoten” (if you’re Dutch) for instance.

feel like you’re operating a machine

Funny because I’m assuming your truck has an automatic transmission. Try getting a very cheap, small car with manual transmission and tell me what feels more like driving a machine to you 😏 . The cheaper the better, because all those electronic aids like lane assist, traction control, adaptive cruise control, etc are just disconnecting you from the actual metal.

I rented a small base model Peugeot 108 when on holiday on Crete a few weeks back. Nothing more exhilarating than taking that go-kart onto a mountain road: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hl3a-LWS_kE

But honestly, thanks for the comment! I’m happy to learn why people like them so much!

Pick-up trucks for anyone that’s not a farmer, construction worker or dirtbike rider.

They are so dumb and impractical for normal driving. I don’t get it.

I believe there was some tax-benefit for them in the US at some point…? Then it makes a tiny bit if sense i guess.

But what’s even dumber: cross-overs. Worst of both worlds.

Green or white?

Green are so so, but white… Omg… With hollandaise and a good piece of ham.

Inline skating 👌

You could have forgotten to put the filter back in your Bialetti Moka pot.

I’m old but i still think popcorn time was the best solution. P2P streaming.

The grosest thing I’ve done is probably that time I had sex with someone who forgot to take out her moon cup after having her period. The smell was “not great”.

However, since it was a suprise for both of us it did not have this awful anticipation of having to do something disgusting. We just found out after the fact.

Another good contender was having to clean the shower in the morning after a drunk guy shit in it when we took him home the night before because he was laying in the street and not able to go home by himself.

Also very smelly.

The guy actually left the house before we woke up, but without his shoes. He also tried to access through the garden, even though that was a garden without access to the road. I still have no idea how he managed to get out of there. He never came back for his shoes. I wonder why!

Is this another pump 'n dump (or rather dump 'n buy a shitload and then change your mind again so the stock rises to the original level)?

This kid needs spelling lessons indeed, time to sign up for extra lessons.

You can’t hold 6 year old kids accountable for stupid stuff they do. I totally understand your feelings, but the best thing you can do is just do your best to be a nice person, instead of self-flagellation. So take care of others, but also of yourself. Only give when you have something to give, but also only take what you really need. The hurt and shame might stay, but try to nourish it. Us it as inspiration for being a good person from now on. Feed it with more self-punishment and it will only get heavier, like a stone arouns your neck that’s growing and pulling you under. Nobody will be happier when you drown, so don’t. Just do your best, that’s all you can do ❤️

It’s not much different from how humanity learned things. Always verify your sources and re-execute experiments to verify their result.
