  • They work. I don't know why people like to perpetuate that dating apps make suboptimal matches. Dating apps match people up on some basic metrics. It's up to the people to form connections. They dont have a magic ability to keep people from long term relationships.

    If anything people might be more picky or idealistic because dating apps exist, so they'll likely not commit because of their high standards or FOMO. But that's more of a society issue not the dating apps themselves.

  • It doesn't seem like their point was to trigger? Unless you're triggered by the word flesh?

    I'm not a vegan/vegetarian. But I recognize from a purely thermodynamics perspective that meat is less efficient than a plant based diet. They're efficiency losses for feeding plants to another organism instead of just eating those plants directly.

    Before agriculture, meat was basically required for humans. Let wild animals consume inedible plants and then hunt using very little of your own resources. Now that equation has been inverted since we control the entire chain of resources.

    You can be mindful of environmental issues and efficiency without taking a moral stance on meat eating. There's really no easy answer, it's very complex. Pollution, water use, land use, pesticides, nutrition, etc are all factors.

  • I always dislike this take because it pretends the US doesn't have this exact issue. I've known people with less than ideal insurance who had very few doctors to pick from in-network and would take months to get an appointment.

    Long wait times still happens in the US. Just like it can happen in public healthcare.

  • No, that's what consumers like you are thinking in hindsight and unrelated.

    The context Gabe is talking about is when he was approaching publishers. They were just being anti tech and believing in traditional brick and mortar. They were definently pro-DRM. They just couldn't fathom a digital marketplace.
