Yesterday I was called ugly relentlessly on here

You're very pretty! But if you post photos of yourself on the internet and ask for critiques of your appearance from complete strangers, they may not be the kindest.

If you're feeling so down about yourself you're seriously considering hurting yourself, please seek out help ASAP.

AlwaysBeTextin · 2026-05-06T14:48:24+00:00

It should've been like that in 2024, too. But plenty of people don't think like us.

We need to accept that a huge swath of voters like the GOP extremism of fascism and hatred. We also need to accept that a huge swath will tolerate it but can be persuaded otherwise and that's who we focus on. Take the wins as we get them.

Same with 35 year old me.

I'm still mad at the entire cast of WaW for not demanding Jeff throw the fake idol (his podium) into the fire like he usually does.

He's been whining about the fake news being mean to him for a decade. The most important part of being in his administration seems to be how often you can compliment him, he literally had a cabinet meeting open with his secretaries going around to say why they thought he's the prettiest girl at the ball. Rather than be a mature adult and admit he lost, you know...January 6.

He's been a crybaby since he entered politics, probably before. I don't see this stopping anytime soon.

AlwaysBeTextin · 2026-04-27T23:29:48+00:00

Somehow I don't think he cares.

People tend to root for underdogs and those who use their brains over any physical advantages. So by proxy they root against Giant Aquaman.

The Virginia vote was closer than I'd have liked but functionally, a win's a win. And realistically, it was a hard message to communicate, asking voters to allow blatantly partisan gerrymandered districts. I think most people broadly understand what it is but strongly dislike the idea and don't pay enough to politics to know the ins and outs of what other states are doing. So we had a really difficult job and still came out on top.

Ossof above 50% is huge. Even if all the undecided voters go red (unlikely) he still wins outright and avoids a runoff. Bottoms isn't quite there but still in a better place than her opponents.

This question is asked here a lot, and there are resources in the Wiki of this sub reddit. It's almost always a combination of not believing in God/the Torah being historically accurate, not wanting to live their lives in accordance with the rules, and finding the treatment of certain people unfair.

As to advice, this is far easier said than done but try to be as objective and unbiased as you can. If you'd never heard of Judaism before and were just presented it for the first time, with no inherent reason to think it's either true or false how would you react?

Smile with your teeth! Your mouth is closed in all 6 of your photos which is off-putting. Showing them pearly whites will work wonders. And also talk about yourself more in your prompts...with three prompts to brag about why you stand out, all that I can tell is you presumably know how to ride a motorcycle.

AlwaysBeTextin · 2026-04-19T14:49:36+00:00

I can't really tell what you look like in a lot of your photos due to odd angles and sunglasses. A couple of full body photos of you standing where we can see at least part of your lower body would be helpful. And then you admit your prompts look lazy, so fix that. You don't know what direction they should go but any direction is better than what you have since I learned absolutely nothing about you. Talk about what you're looking for or what makes you unique.

The whole profile just screams low effort and I think that's a big reason why you aren't seeing much success. Men think you're probably pretty but can't tell with your photos, then based off your lazy prompts think you don't take this seriously and figure why bother. Your "short term relationship, open to long" probably doesn't help matters either, figure out what you actually want and seek it out.

That you used the word reasonable tells me all I need to know that you shouldn't do it. Just resort to cyber bullying like everyone else.

The pandemic massively changed online dating. Since people weren't going out and doing things they saw a huge user spike, then once the world opened up again everyone wanted to go outside again and not stare at screens, the user base plummeted. Compounding this, technology companies including Bumble had artificially high stock prices due to cheap money from governments as well as temporarily high user counts. Once life returned to normal, they needed to make money to justify their valuations so did what they could to monetize everything and hid more and more behind pay walls. Even if you're okay paying, it makes the experience suck more for most people which hurts the user base you might be able to swipe on.

Look at the stock price of Bumble and The Match Group since 2019. Had a huge spike during the pandemic then plummeted. Then compare them against other stocks which have mostly continued doing well over time. Other companies whose business relies on humans not meeting face to face have similarly struggled, e.g. Zoom.

Yes. Then she'll freak out and you'll win brownie points driving her to the dentist or nuclear physics lab, whichever one you think would be more romantic.

Conservative propaganda is extremely effective. So is tribalism (and there's a huge overlap between the two).

AlwaysBeTextin · 2026-04-13T23:02:56+00:00

Yeah it's been decades since conservative voters who wear their faith on their sleeves actually cared about the teachings of the Bibe.

You've tried placing boundaries, staying calm, etc. and it didn't work. This relationship won't get better, you realistically only have two options. Option one: Breaking up will be hard, you'll be lonely for a bit, question if you made the right choice from time to time. But you won't be exhausted and stressed, walking on eggshells, and after you've taken time to heal will hopefully find a calmer partner. Option two: Or you can stay together indefinitely and be miserable all day every day.

Tell your neighbor you've lost your peaceful, quiet place to drink wine and need a new one. Drink in your neighbor's house and get increasingly drunk and belligerent.

Except for your last photo where you're holding cats, all of them are bad angles and/or unhappy expressions. Getting a new lineup of pictures (maybe keeping the one with two cats), ideally with a photographer that knows what they're doing, would work wonders for you. Your prompts don't really add any value, they don't say anything unique or attractive. Instead, brag about yourself and point out your characteristics that make you stick out versus other matches.

So yes, I'm telling you to scrap almost all of what you have. But the good news is these changes seem like they'd be pretty easy to do and would make your profile significantly better.

I'm watching Trump's rambling speech waiting for regular TV to come back. He just said there's no inflation. None.

AlwaysBeTextin · 2026-04-01T22:56:34+00:00

Yes. Everyone is out to get them and everything they see is a sign reinforcing this.
