  • But people who get kids already receive various financial benefits from the state in many countries. But it is usually framed as giving them money, instead of taking from everyone else. In the Netherlands you literally get money per child.

    So if I were to reframe this tax as: “people with children get a tax deduction on their pensions”, nobody would bet an eye, as similar benefits are already in place for them. But where does that money come from? Right; Tax payers. So, to give people with children a tax deduction, everyone else needs to pay more. Financially, you end up in the same situation as what is proposed here.

    OP literally asks like 10 relevant questions for this place, and names their reasons for not naming specific instances. And all you focus on, is the question: who did it?

    To me that is proof that OP did the right thing here.

    Lets first figure out how to approach this without knowing the pupotrator.



  • 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.



  • 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.
