  • I don’t have the energy to swipe new partners every week, I’m not a fan of hook up culture, anyone I’ve met on the apps keep using the apps while I see them. I’m not super big into social media and frequently don’t have service at work, I’ve had people on the apps complain 20+ minutes is unacceptable as a response time. I don’t take many pics of myself to make a good profile. Overall the experience is discouraging and stressful.


  • Many of our cities in north america don’t have good access to third places anymore, due to both availability and cost.

    I refuse to use online dating/friendship services so I struggle to meet friends and partners in the new citiy I moved to. Everyone at the local bar scenes is 15-30 years older than me, my outdoor local areas are homeless emcampments or riddled with needles and litter. I’ve met some people at my local climbing gym, but I find it difficult to get there between the cost of climbing and my physical labour job.

    It almost feels like if you don’t make the plans online you don’t get to meet/hang out with people anymore and I’m not a huge fan of that.










  • I had a harder time getting good at and staying interested in ITB. I still really enjoy a playthrough every now and then.

    With FTL I guess it just feels more replayable and “on edge” to me. There is just something special about ftl runs, be it overpowered, under powered. There are so many ships, weapons, systems, and crew combinations that no run really feels the same.

    The same could be said about ITB and their different mech teams but I guess it just doesn’t have the same feel. ITB feels like I’m selling my services to big corporations with saving people as an after note. FTL feels like a suicide mission for the fate of the galaxy and I think that feeling is what really makes me come back to FTL.



  • Technology and speed of information has advanced significantly over the years. As the technology advances our society tries to keep up, a good example of this is how digital friendships and relationships have become. I know many yojng people struggle to make friends in real life but have plenty of digital connections. Many peolle fall into the trap of swiping for something “better” on a dating app than tolerating a flaw or two in their psrtners.

    The speed of information has increased signifcantly due to the internet and social media. The entire world feels more connected than previous generations. News stories from any corner of the world are shared almost instantly. There is more opportunties to compare ourselves to each other with social media at our finger tips.

    “I want to be with you forever” makes me feel a lot more secure, comfortable and hopeful than “when this isn’t fun anymore I’m off”.

    Everyone knows that “be with you forever” is a feeling, not a fact but it gives me a good idea of where my partner is in the relationship. My partner saying “once it isnt fun I’m out” makes me feel like I’m just a hobby, not a partner.

    When living with my parents a few years ago we had about 8 people who had to share the 1 shower throughout the week. Somehow a little plastic jesus figure ended up in the washroom and it was an unwritten code that if you found jesus you would find a new spot to hide him. He often ended up peeking on people as they showered.
