    If you are in one of the supported locations, I can recommend Breeze. Via Breeze you can’t chat after matching. Instead you get a date planner in front of you. You pay for actual dates, meaning the app wants you to go on dates, since that is what gives them money. Cancelling dates is penalized via badges on your profile, and less priority in the algorithm. Hence, swiping right is a serious action, even more so than a message on the more serious sites. You also get a limited amount of profiles per day (around 5 to 10 or so), so you don’t get lost in swiping sessions. And yes, you do get dates with people who you really don’t click with. But the hour or two spend having a drink are still less of a waste of energy than chatting for 2 weeks to come to the same conclusion.



  • How would untrackable digital currency even work?

    Any transaction is a request from one to another entity, with some authority registering the exchange of funds. Even bitcoin works like this, where the authority is the consensus of the network, instead of a bank.

    Any system without some central authority seems impossible to keep safe from fraud to me. But while I’m skeptical, I’d love to be proven wrong here.


  • Het probleem met THC, is dat het heel lang in je bloed blijft. Ook lang nadat het uitgewerkt is. Zware gebruikers zijn niet 10 uur na een jointje nog high, terwijl hun bloed de hele dag THC zal bevatten. Dit betekent dat iemand niet 's avonds een jointje kan roken, en 's ochtends legaal de auto in kan stappen. Geen idee wat we er mee moeten, maar het geeft bij dit soort onderzoeken wel een vertekend beeld, want mensen gaan natuurlijk wel gewoon op pad.

    If you literally put a line about dealbreakers in your main profile text, it can be quite offputting for the same reasons that the interview style dates are offputting.

    Instead, write around the thing you want to say in a more positive way. For example: “I love to take sponteneous weekend trips. Where have you been last?” It filters out most people with fixed responsibiltites like kids and dogs, while opening up a conversation.

    Or: “Unfortunately I meed to carry an epipen for when a cute dog does get to close. Fortunately my cat can snuggle with me all day”. Again, you filter the people with dogs, but provide an opening to people who are still interested.




  • This regime won’t go away just because they loose an election. Trump might, but not the people who put him in power.

    The constant threat that the checks and balances will fail again, will forever be present. Only if the USA has a massive political overhaul may the worries subside. Hence, any trust in the USA as a reliable partner is broken, until something big changes. Democrats winning the next 20 years of elections will still not fix what has been broken in the last few years.

    Boston looks much easier to navigate though. Much clearer road hierarchy, meaning better flowing traffic, and less traffic near houses and shops.
