That probably has more to do with the fact that younger people have shitty social skills due to the way they communicate now.
It's still much easier now than it use to be added on with all the other options at someone's fingertips to engage their time in and here we are. [Reply]

Yea but at the same time 9 out of 10 things you say are completely idiotic so agreeing with Prison Bitch isn't a shocker out of you now is it? [Reply]

Yep.
Women want to be pursued, even by their husbands that have been married for years.
You better be in the top 10% of men if you want to slay pussy without work. I know I was in the “work” category. :-) [Reply]

Those men are likely even worse at non-online dating. [Reply]
No idea why I didn't marry that chick I finger-banged behind the dumpster 45 minutes after meeting her in the bar. I guess the pull of netflix and video games was just too strong. [Reply]

So were many of the people that Covid has killed. But that's somehow different. [Reply]
Reading just the last page of posts makes me wonder whether any of you have even been to a sports bar. Hell, any bar. Well, except Dane, but he lives in SoCal, which isn't really a bar mecca. It's kind of an anti-bar place. Like Tulsa Ok is to strip clubs. They resemble bars superficially, but CA sports bars are just about the worst venues imaginable so far as bars go.
The only thing worse might be national chain sports bar, like Hooters, Wild Wings, etc. The atmosphere is gimmicky like McDs/Wendy's, and the food is basically crap. Add in the wait staff that all wear the same outfit and stupid pins with dumb sayings on them and you're in bar hell with fake perky people bringing you drinks, hopefully some time before you actually have to get up and go to the bar and ask for one.

The drinks are so watered down at all those corporate places it's ridiculous. A bloody mary is basically tomato juice. If I do ever have to go to a BWW I only order beer. [Reply]

Hooters used to have the best fish sandwich around - The Grouper. Good fried fish, cheese, onions, soft roll - it was perfect. But the last time I went to one it wasn't on the menu anymore. :-) [Reply]
What's easier to control: the monetary policies of several thousand banks with a few million in deposits or a dozen each with deposits in the hundreds of billions of dollars?
Which is easier when it comes to mandating social justice and climate change policies: ensuring that several thousand independent storefronts abide by those mandates or three huge multinational conglomerates? [Reply]
