Wat vinden jullie van het concept achter de dating app Breeze?

Ik vind dat het de voordelen van online dating heeft zonder veel van de nadelen ervan. Je kunt mensen online matchen en meteen hen ontmoeten. Ik ben het online chatten wel zat eerlijk gezegd, het is beter om mensen meteen te ontmoeten en dan binnen een paar uur te ontdekken of je bij elkaar past of niet, en itt blind dates kun je elkaar wel alvast zien. De app is ook goed geregeld en niet zo op geld gericht als andere dating apps. Het vergroot ook de kwaliteit van profielen omdat je moet betalen voor een date

Ik hoop echt dat deze app in populariteit groeit, ik gun het de makers ervan

The show lacks a general direction / course of action

In ATLA, the entire purpose of the show was to see Aang and co beat the fire nation, and they made it very clear. From the first episode till the last, that was their entire purpose. Yes they were side quests and other stories but in the end it all revolved around one thing. This made the show more exciting and meaningful. You felt the suspense as they prepared beating the fire nation.

With Korra, what was that general goal? Every season was different and had other enemies but imo this made the show less meaningful and special. It was like a series of small tales. Imo they should have made Amon the equivalent of the fire Lord and the entire show revolve around beating him and his goal of taking out all benders, that would have been more exciting. I feel like he died way too soon, he was a good antagonist. Zaheer, Unalaq and Kuvira should have been lower tier antagonists or have had a different role than just another adversary. The show just lacks the depth and excitement ATLA has. I also think three longer seasons is better than four shorter seasons.

Do you guys agree?

Samsung Browser is really underrated honestly

When I bought my phone I immediately downloaded Chrome honestly because I was prejudiced but for certain reasons I started using Samsung Browser recently and it's amazing, so many features, good interface, convenient, it's literally better than Chrome honestly, and they have it on Windows as well, I think I'm going to make the switch

Samsung makes so many great products, I feel like they really face the competition and it pushes them to be great

although the pc version does seem a bit limited, like why can't you adjust zoom for all pages?

Why do so many Russians live in small apartments when Russia is the largest country in the world?

Even excluding Siberia Russia is so large and sparsely populated you wonder why you don't see more people living in single family homes like in the west. Also many Russians live in small homes. Why? Single family housing is too expensive to build? Soviet legacy? why not make more use of the abundant space?

"I don't want to have kids because of climate change/environment" is such nonsense

You not having kids is not going to save the planet. It's not going to prevent climate change. It's not going to have a substantial impact on nature. Even if it did, humans are more important than the environment. Also, perhaps your kids might come up with technology that reduces emissions or help humans in other ways.

Stop with the misanthropic worldview that humans are a burden on the planet, they are not. The world would not be better off with no/fewer humans.

There is this dating app in Western Europe that has a really good concept: no chatting, just go straight to dates

It's called Breeze. If you match with someone there's no chatting on the app itself, you give your availability and the app directly organizes a date for the two of you and gives you the location a week before. Imo this is a really good idea because it filters out the low quality profiles you see on other dating apps and prevents endless swiping and chatting and ghosting. Because you need to pay there is also more of an incentive to be serious. Also, no foreigners who abuse travel mode, only locals. It's a really good idea and I hope this app / concept becomes much more successful. I have my own date next week!

One effective way to reduce screentime: turn on app timers and only let someone else know the code

I had app timers for a long time, but they were useless because you could just extend the time anytime they passed, which I constantly did unfortunately. so a few days ago I told my friend to write the code and not tell me under any circumstances. he could only change things himself to make app timers even stricter. I did this recently and it's very effective, more than anything else I tried, because there's literally no way around it. it doesn't depend on discipline or self control. once you have your maximum amount of time on the app you cannot spend anymore time on it for the rest of the day. I do this on Android but you can probably do it on iOS as well. you should try it, along with deleting (most) social media. I'm already feeling the benefits

Could popularizing boarding schools help increase birthrates?

Ok so women say they hesitate to have kids because of career and leisure time, right? They arent able to work full time, raise kids, do other household tasks and still enjoy their free time. Ok, fair enough, reasonable.

So what if we did this: let women have kids, then send them to boarding schools, where they are raised by other people in a sort of permanent childcare until adulthood. Parents can visit and take the kids with them whenever they want (after school), but are able to drop them there whenever they need time alone. Isnt this a win win? Women still need to become pregnant but the overall cost of kids could fall dramatically, or at least some costs because boarding schools are not cheap.

So if we want to raise birthrates, perhaps facilitate boarding schools by reducing the stigma around them and deregulating/subsidizing them? What do you think? To the women out there: would this encourage you to have children?

If you post unclear pictures of yourself, that only makes you look insecure and makes me want to swipe left

Phone in front of face, face hidden, pictures from the back, multiple group pictures, pictures where you arent seen at all, dark pictures, few pictures, etc.: I dont get why people do this. It's like they are shy or just know they arent attractive, so they hope they can fool others into swiping right. But it doesnt work, at least for me. It's a red flag. Just post some clear pictures of yourself, it's really not that difficult. Just put on some nice clothes, pick a decent setting and ask someone to take a picture of you smiling, that's isn't too much to ask for, is it?

Is Hinge minder populair in Nederland?

Ik zie op Bumble en Tinder veel Nederlandse vrouwen maar op Hinge lijken het bijna alleen buitenlandse vrouwen te zijn, toeristen, expats en buitenlandse studenten of vrouwen die hun locatie hebben gewijzigd. Waar komt dit door? Hinge is naar mijn mening de beste datingapp namelijk. Ben gewoon benieuwd

How would you feel about men putting on make-up?

I'm thinking of putting on makeup to make my face look a bit livelier & glossier, so to speak. I want to do it in a subtle way. To be clear, I'm a fully straight guy, but I see very few other straight men putting on make-up. Would you find it attractive?

Why do so many women not want to have kids but do want pets?

Why would you like animals more than humans? Taking care of kids is bad but pets is okay? Imo that's really depressing and weird. I would like much more to spend time with humans than cats or dogs. Imo the cause is some kind of misanthropy, they think humans are evil and pets are angels, but also some part of them does desire to be a mother

edit: i didn't expect so many childfree women on a pro natalism sub..
