I imagine the answer to this depends greatly on when a person became blind. I assume you’re asking about people blind since birth, but that’s not all blind people.

I was thinking along the lines of eharmony where (I think?) everyone pays to play. I understand the ploy you describe exists and I do want to avoid that shit.
Probably. Valid point.
Thanks. I’ve done it before and you are correct, there are some real assholes out there. I might get better results if I pony up some cash for a site or service.
I have been thinking about trying online dating again. Not really looking forward to it because I expect it to be a mess.
I think I’ll try a very minimalist approach on my profile because most people read profiles looking for reasons to reject. If I don’t give many possible reasons to reject then I should increase the pool of people to date. In theory, anyway.
Sweet summer child. It was a thing.
Must be that’s where you Aussies kept your boots. I think that’s British English, tho, right?
Not thinking of many off the top of my head but I am sure there are many things called by an obsolete name.
Trunk of a car, maybe. Used to be a literal trunk (box) strapped to the car.
Filming someone. Or taping. No film/tape involved now.
“Floppy” disk icon for saving in PC apps. Youngsters probably wonder wtf that is.
There’s probably a word for this.
Doesn’t help anything that most “gum base” has PLASTIC in it.
It did not start out as an English word. It came from the Miami-Illinos language to Algonquin and/or Ojibwe to French then to English. So applying English language rules to a non-English word will be difficult.
But as AbouBenAdhem suggests ITT, treating it like the French word “Quebecquois” makes a lot of sense.

I believe they would have MASSIVE amounts of pubic hair. And smell bad.
Someone should do this. It reminds me of those old translators for Beeker-speak and other “dialects”.

We will have to agree to disagree. This is not worth arguing about.
Yeah, that crisp was the worst. I remember captain crunch actually made my mouth bleed. A literally bloddy breakfast. W.T.F.
That must be the food shellac mentioned in the Vacation movie…
I never knew there were different flavors. Vanilla?!?
And it has probably been that long since I’ve had it too. Can you still buy it?
It was a BIG deal when my parents let us kids buy a “sugar” cereal. Cookie crisp was my choice and I only remember buying it once.
I think “keto” encompasses atkins but is just “low carb” in general. If you get the book, atkins has many guidelines, levels, etc.
So, very similar, lots of overlap but not the same.
I stopped eating cereal years ago. Try the atkins diet sometime it is very eye opening.
But I swear Watterson was parodying Cookie Crisp cereal. My mind always went to that when he mentioned the sugar bombs. Yes, You CAN have cookies for breakfast.
Consumers are getting fucked. Media companies will continue to make it worse while trying to improve their bottom line. How long until it is all pay per view at sky high prices that only keep going up?
I try to own my media in physical form as much as possible. But I don’t think it will be long until physical is not an available format. Or unaffordable, like vinyl is now.
We should have resisted and stopped the DMCA. We should stop all media being rental only. But we do not resist, we comply. We bend over and get fucked like the sheeple we are.
Until consumers take control of their government they will continue to take it up the ass from corporations. They count on you to comply.
