A look at one of the most pressing problems of 2023: the lament that "the left" wouldn't be friends with "the right," over "political views."
Defining these terms and dealing with a strange spectacle: the world's most unfriendly people, demanding friendliness.

I laugh every time at how the most hateful sexist pigs of men bemoan the fact that they can't get dates because of "politics". When someone wants to loudly and proudly declare that they don't think anyone like you deserves human rights like the ability to control your own body or be able to say no, or have a job or how many children you want to have or whether you can leave an abusive relationship or whether you should be hired and promoted based on how good you are at your job...
Yeah not exactly the sort of person you want to enter into a relationship with, put yourself into very vulnerable positions with them.
@vfrmedia @JessTheUnstill @JuliusGoat I met my partner through OKCupid (in the early days when it sucked less). She told me that I wasn't the highest match score, but I was the highest who wasn't a right wing asshole lying his ass off.
The strange part is that the lying is immediately obvious. But then, I suppose their model of relationships, transactional at best, puts no value on honesty.
@ashley @JessTheUnstill @vfrmedia @JuliusGoat I did find it curious that when I was dating, I didn't have a preference for height, but almost every woman who initiated contact with me was within an inch of the same height.
On the other hand, the last time I had my height measured at a medical checkup, it was 5' 11 1/2", and I hadn't realized how much that lost half inch mattered to me.
