Ugly In The Morning posted:The taco thing was super annoying when I was on dating apps because at least 1 out of every four, probably closer to 1 out of every three women’s bio’s was “I love tacos and margaritas”. Nothing else. Justloving tacos and margs. We already did basically this in the tweets thread, though, so let's not.

FFT posted:That's the easiest layup for a starter date possible, I don't understand how this is an issue. If it was once in a while, sure. If it’s everywhere, no. Met my girlfriend on online dating because we had some stuff to start a conversation about, tacos and margs are a date idea but what is there to ask about? I would rather face god and walk backwards into hell than read anything in a thread about current Twitter so I have no idea what you’re referring to.

It was about dudes missing obvious signals. If you can't go from tacos and tequila to a conversation you're beyond help. Anyway, here's the takeaway: wash bucket posted:Overall it's probably for the best if guys are really reluctant to interpret things as an invitation for sex.

Tacos also mean a different combination of foods to different people as well. It’s like saying “my favorite food is sandwiches”.

Part of my (failed) stint doing stand-up comedy had to do with every single Tinder profile saying they love hiking and tacos, which leads one to believe that hiking and tacos are indicators, like red flags. What do all these people who are alone have in common? Hiking and tacos. Stay away from these types, there's a reason they're alone.

There's really no such thing as a "failed" standup stint unless you give it up forever. I consider my standup career "lapsed".

Sorry to single you out, but this is an example of a peeve of mine : when someone contributes to an argument, but then tries to close it off after they’ve made their point. Like ‘here’s my take on the subject, no need to respond.’ It’s just trying to have your cake and eat it, you get to have the satisfaction of having the final word, and the moral superiority of magnanimously resolving the dispute at the same time. Anyway, let’s leave it there

One of my friends' girlfriend did say I was her favorite out of everyone, but she explained that it was because I had great quips for when jokes didn't land. Well, that's great I can quip when my joke fails, but it's also kinda dependent on not being a good comedian in the first place. Anyway long story short I fled that town because my career as a comedian wasn't working out but in my new town there's an open-mic coming up on the 25th babyyyyy

I’m not sure how the quoted thing is relevant at all and it’s really not that it’s an impossible topic as much as that when it’s all you have to go on for them and a million other people why put the effort in to starting a conversation?

When I was on dating apps one or the most common favorite activities people listed was “naps.” Nothing more fun and exciting in a potential partner than their being frequently asleep!

I'm not reading any more reviews or descriptions of any media that use the phrase "It's like _____ meets _____". It's hack, it's unhelpful, and it's no better than when the most annoying people you knew were describing anything more exciting than a saltine cracker as _______ BUT ON CRACK

Gmail/Google drive keeps popping up a warning that I'm running out of space because I have only 2 GB left. It's been approximately that full for a long time and it's entirely due to some particularly large files on my google drive. I'm certainly in no danger of being suddenly unable to receive emails as it constantly warns me. Obviously they want me to pay for more storage, but they're hassling me too soon and too often. If I was down to a couple of hundred MB then sure, time to delete some stuff. But I have 2 GB. That's tons.

Sites that ask you to enter a dollar amount but you have to guess at how they want it entered. 35,000 - error message: please enter a dollar amount 35000 - error message: please enter a dollar amount $35,000 - error message: please enter a dollar amount 35,000. - error message: please enter a dollar amount $35,000. finally!

The local post service has tracked-letters logistics streamlined so that they just scan entire bins of letters as they come and leave the sorting plant. Then they just automatically mark those letters as 'on the way, and 'delivered' around when they expect it left the plant, and when delivery for your address is set to complete. (In this case, 0700, 1400.) However, if a letter is too big to fit the tiny rear end little postboxes we have at my new apartment, the tracking won't be updated to reflect that until it's done manually, the next day+. It's great feeling lovely for a day because your package might have been stolen, because it takes nearly 24 hours for the tracking to go from auto:'delivered' to 'uh um oopsie, this was too big to fit, we'll drop it off at a post office.'. God letter mail loving sucks now compared to packages. So many tradeoffs where they shave off tiny slivers of time to optimize logistics for themselves, while it massively impacts delivery time and customer experience. (They used to pick them out before ever trying to deliver them back in the day, when I worked in the post, but I assume they've 'optimized' away that step as well. The packages would usually arrive at the office immediately too, since they'd make the package slip on-site, and deliver the package straight to the office instead of it taking a 2-day roundtrip.)
