The thing that trips me up, as a dinosaur, is whether “swipe left” refers to the direction your hand moves or the direction that the viewport is traveling. If I scroll by moving my finger to the left, now I’m looking at stuff that was previously on my right.
I have this issue with my stove top, which burner goes to with nob/diagram. Does the picture line flat or flip over. I only every end up using the one with both high and low cause it’s easy to tell which it is.
I am a weirdo and always get things backwards that the rest of the population has no trouble with.
Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey made no sense when I was a kid because I focused on the bottom of the thing I was spinning instead of the top.
Same with the stove. Wtf is the “front” burner? I mapped the four burners to the four seats of a car in my head, and I thought the front burner would be the ones farther away from me. 🫨
Yeah, I met my (now) wife over 20 years ago. I blissfully missed app dating and I always make sure she wears her seatbelt and what-not so that never changes.
Why it matters: The consequences are steeper for those supporting former President Trump.
By the numbers: 43% of people between the ages of 18 and 34 say they’d have a more negative view of a date if told they voted for Trump, according to a new Generation Lab poll.
17% say they’d have a more positive view, and 40% say the information would make no difference.
Not OP, but for me a window popped up and asked for my email, without any button or other option to opt out/make it go away. I got around it by using “Reader” Mode.
Had to read the article to find out if the headline was describing a good trend or a bad trend. I’m so old 👴
Right? How am I supposed to know what “left” implies in some random app’s context?
Left and right are a de facto standard in dating apps. It’s a terrible UI but they all do it now.
Smartphones didn’t even exist last time I was dating.

In tinder when you swipe, the picture itself moves, not the whole screen.

And why are they stealing it? I don’t even know where to start planning a caper involving left theft. Guess I could start from the right…

Got a good brand recommendation for what-nots? My wife’s been asking for one.
I usually check Etsy, but you can often find good ones thrifting too.
“wears her seatbelt”?
So good trend or bad trend?
I can’t read the article, does anyone have an archive link?
Good trend.
The 17% is worrying, but that 40% is worse.
Agreed
I’m assuming those 40% just want to get laid and that’s all they care about. Lol, I’m not young, but I remember being young.
Keep in mind Trumpers hate birth control and that one night stand might turn to an 18 year marathon with a crazy parent.
