  • No, they used to be more or less good - they all had slightly different vibes instead of being the exact same thing with different fonts. Okcupid used to publish a lot of fun data and was kind of a middle ground, Match was known for being for more “serious” daters, and plenty of fish tended to be a little trashier - not that there wasn’t plenty of overlap, that was just kind of the reputations they had. You could pay for things but you could also do just fine with free accounts, and the ads focused on how many people had had success with them.

    Now they’re all owned by the same company and it shows, and they’ve decided dumbing the experience down to the most superficial stuff and letting bots and people advertising OF or their MLMs take over is fine. I don’t think any of them are worth the time they take to download at this point.









  • My job actually offers paid leave for a certain amount of health stuff outside of our normal leave, but there genuinely aren’t any places anywhere near me that don’t kind of suck, except for private facilities that I definitely can’t afford. Not being able to afford time off is also because there are only 2 of us that do my job and my coworker is having serious health issues. Like lots of hospitalization, months off serious. I’m basically fine, I just haven’t been happy in a really long time, so the idea of intensive treatment sounds kind of nice.

    You’ll google “inpatient mental health treatment near me,” realize none of the options your insurance covers are all that good and you can’t really afford to take that much time off work anyway, and close the window. (Assuming you’re American, and probably need to get your meds adjusted.)
