  I’m curious about this. I’ve got a Pixel 6 and noticed that the battery started going to shit about a month or so ago? I couldn’t find an install date for SafetyCore, but it was listed in my apps. I’ve uninstalled it now. It’ll be interesting to see if that was causing it.

  I gave up on online dating last year and I won’t be back. If that means I’ll end up dying alone, I’m honestly more comfortable with that idea than suffering though anymore of the bullshit that’s Tinder/Bumble/Hinge/etc. It’s become such a miserable experience for both sides (men and women).

  As someone who had used online dating on and off for 10+ years, I can tell you one of the big problems - money and greed. I know it’s always easy to just “blame capitalism”, but I’ve seen first-hand the paradigm shift from an actual useful service (i.e. a way to meet people that you would otherwise not meet) to the blatant greed it’s become. The dating apps are so obviously profiteering off people’s loneliness is fucking disgusting. Back before Match bought everyone up, these services used to actually be okay for what they were.
