I don’t go to fast food often, I walked into a McDonalds for the first time in maybe 1yr +? They had the kiosks for self ordering, I looked at the prices and “deals” and decided that the cost/experience ratio was just not worth and just left. I can go to a restaurant or cook myself for those prices (and I did, cooked enchiladas).

It doesn’t seem affordable/worth it even for a one-off now

I have an ELI5 score of 3

LMAO it’s from Lemmy, because I thought it was pretty

Recently myself and two friends were at a restaurant, I bought one a Shirley temple against his will because my other friend and I were having them. This spiraled into us all ordering the same meal in the same way and for whatever reason we just could not stop laughing when the food was brought out and they asked “who had the (dish)”, three separate times.

So I totally agree, non-funny things can absolutely be a ROFL given a certain mood

I had to read “Speak”. It was basically a short story about a girl getting SA’d and then treated like crap by everyone till the last couple pages. I do not think it had the intended effect they were going for.

When saying “Next” in reference to a time “Next” means the soonest occurrence of that. Don’t skip one. If today is friday and I say “Next Saturday”, that is tomorrow, not 8 days from now.

I think what mostly draws people to the apps is the ability to be in a space that you know others are open towards that type of advancements. Additionally the fact that many struggle to be in public in a way that encourages random interactions with strangers.

Myself as an example, outside of shopping/chores I don’t have much reason to be in many public spaces so the chances of meeting people that way are fairly minimal. whereas an app would present all those people in the same boat or that just have lifestyles that would leave us missing eachother passively.

I don’t think either option is “wrong” but there are benefits to each that pander towards different problems. The apps are just particularly predatory and ill crafted to actually get what people want
