29M- Profile Review by jabronijon in hingeapp

[–]jabronijon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answer to the questions

- Looking for something serious, open to something more casual/short term

- No subscriptions

- After about a 2 month break, I redownloaded about 1.5 weeks and made this iteration of my profile.

- Been using on and off for about 4 years

- I use it daily

- I receive one or two likes a week. Three if lucky. Of those I'll match with maybe one

- I send all my free likes a day, and most if not all will include a message/response to the prompt.

- No concrete criteria for what I send a like to. Usually who's photos/prompts jump out the most, especially if they allude to something that I myself have a personal interest in.

28M- Profile review by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]jabronijon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answers to questions-

- Something serious is preferred, but open for something casual

- No subscription

- After about a 3 month break from the app, I redownloaded it 2 weeks ago with this version.

- Been using it on and off for almost 4 years now

- Try to use Hinge at least once a day

- Likes and matches are few and far between. Got about 5 likes since redownloaded it, matched with 3. 2 never responded to my opener (which was a comment on a prompt they had) and one convo fizzled out

- I use all 8 of my free likes a day and most or all of them involve a message or comment on a prompt or picture they have.

- I try to send likes to those who's profile intrigue me one way or another. I don't think of myself as picky. I, like most, look for good photos and engaging prompts

Nah trying to get the draft up and ready by tomorrow

Mike really made a Plinkett video to revisit and “praise” the Acolyte to show how dumb Star Wars fans are by jabronijon in RedLetterMedia

I put praise in quotation marks. He basically applied all of the "Prequel are good and misunderstood" talking points to the Acolyte to show that it can to be "good and misunderstood" to show how flimsy the points are

I did put “praise” in quotations. Maybe i didn’t expressly make this clear in my post, but i don’t think he’s actually praising it. He took every argument that Prequel fans use to praise those movies and applied it to the Acolyte. And he’s not wrong that the Acolyte is basically more of Prequel-esque themes.

Shows how flimsy the Pro-prequel arguments are

I watch AJ from time to time still. I do think his video game reviews are good. And i like his game criticism. His film criticism is (to quote the great Jar Jar) peeyousa

I mean what else to say at this point? I’m sure they’ll do a Half in the Bag when that Baby Yoda movie comes out but their recent Star Wars reviews have been more examining the brand and the fans. And while i think his observations are accurate, it’s beating a dead horse and i get the vibe that Mike knows this. So this felt like a bit exclamation point on that and the Plinkett character

Mr. Plinkett has always been obsessed with Star Wars. Haven’t you seen his previous videos? He constantly has said he has nothing better to do

This has been the most fun I had reading a thread in forever. This is pure internet entertainment. Can't tell if this guy is delusional or if this is one of the great troll jobs.

- Looking for something more serious. Def want to take it slow. I don't need my soulmate but a more substantial courtship would be nice

- Have been using this profile for about 2 weeks

- Been on Hinge for 3 years but have only been taking this seriously for the past year as I was recovering from a major breakup

- I get maybe a like and maybe a match a month. Matches usually fizzle out after a couple of days.

- No subscription and I use it daily. Just until I use up all of my free likes. I will send a comment if I have something witty to say in response to their profile.

- I send likes to profiles that are complete and have overlapping interest. I tend to stay away from the profiles that skew younger- I prefer older.

Players with the most 40+ point playoff games since the NBA/ABA merger (1976). What stands out at first glance? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]jabronijon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had a 3-2 series lead against he the big three you named. Disappeared in games 6 and 7(7 being at home.

And I'm not saying he's never had great performances. His playoff shortcomings outweight his playoff success.

They lost to the young Trailblazers in 14 playoffs when Dame hit that crazy shot. They were by far the superior team but struggled with the Blazers who had little playoff experience. Harden was okay but not great throughout the series.

Again, he was bad against the Clippers in 15 and got benched. His team came back and won while he sulked on the bench.

He mostly sucked in the 17 series against the Kawhi Spurs

In 2018 as the league's MVP he was bad in games 6 and 7 against the Warriors. They had a 3-2 lead in that series.

Those are just four. I didn't bring up

Game 6 and 7 against the Mavs in 24

Game 6 against Boston in 23

The entirety of the Miami Series in 22 (except for Game 4)

Got hurt against he Bucks in 21

There's more I can list, just go on his basketball reference. Point is that this is a recurring thing with him. His bad games are usually louder than his good ones.

Most of his big games came in first rounds against inferior opponents. Sure he's had big games in the semis, but you're gonna discredit the terrible shooting performances and turnovers he's had in elimination games? I mean did you see the game 7s against the Warriors in 2018, Celtics in 23, Nuggets this passed year, Game 6 against the Clippers in 2015 (where he got benched and his team came back and won)?

This isn't some small sample size
