this is so true, and im pulling it out next time people start up about male loneliness
Feels like every club, class, or social event that isn't a gig is either aimed at parents and kids, or attracts only women, middle-aged, or retired people. Where are the younger men. What are they plotting.

if you’re tired of users telling you to use alt text, JUST FUCKING DO IT. the app automatically detects text on mobile. it’s literally a copy/paste job. communication is a two-way street. some people don’t use their eyes for that. it’s not a big deal. don’t be a dick.
