It’s a complicated philosophical quirk of our legal system that the police don’t seem to be able to actually prevent a crime, but instead come in after something bad has happened. Think of the endless news stories where someone has reported a stalker multiple times, been ignored and then eventually murdered because the police failed
Veganuary. For the uninitiated – which is surprisingly few, now – it’s a campaign to try to get people to go vegan and give up animal products for January. The idea is that it will promote a healthy lifestyle, encourage people to try some new or different foods and reduce carbon footprints. Sure, it would
It’s January and, let’s face it, we’re all feeling like crap. The holidays have come and gone, the weather is terrible and there’s nothing fun to immediately look forward to. The best we can do is grab a Covid booster, knock back a vitamin D tablet and curl up with a salt lamp, waiting for
First things first. I know holidays are mostly behind us and everyone is back to their daily routine, BUT! Well, but nothing really, I had this almost finished and ready to be posted last year, but alas, it was not meant to be. So here it is now. Holidays come every year anyways! I don’t
Tinder has released their end-of-year report – “Tinder Year In Swipe”. Much like Spotify Wrapped, there are some topical items, a few surprising trends and quite a lot of Olivia Rodrigo. Why would you mention an album about a breakup on a dating site is beyond me, so let’s look at the breakdown. Emojis Firstly,
There is, in my opinion, nothing funnier than something that claims to be utterly unique but is actually very ordinary. Especially if it’s coupled with an absolute sense of sincerity and an utter lack of awareness that anyone would find it amusing. Looking through the website for FDBK, I kept switching between laughing out loud
“Dating with Intention” by Badoo immediately confuses me. I seem to have developed two different points of view, simultaneously. It’s either a really good idea, where all parties in the relationship know exactly what the other is hoping to get from it – oral sex; a two week fling; three children, a dog and a
There are few things more funny than when two unrelated subjects share an acronym or initialism. For example, MLM can refer either to Men Loving Men (in a sexual/romantic way) or to Multi-Level Marketing (not *technically a pyramid scheme, but still a huge scam). The newest words to confuse people? “Ghost singles”. Anyone who is
I know that I’m not the only one who’s had to relocate recently. The pandemic has caused massive disruption, job losses, options to work remotely, fewer social opportunities and has just generally turned lives upside down. For those of us who are new in town, things can be a bit lonely. We’re far away from
It’s funny to think of dating trends. Surely love is ageless and cavewomen got butterflies in their tummies when their cave partners came back and gave them a particularly nice stone. Love is universal, unending, arguably what makes us human. Thousands of years have passed but people still get butterflies in their tummies and give
