I think The Lord doth judge quite a lot. They even wrote a book about this

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's kind of his main schtick, that and creating the universe so he could judge things.

Motherfucker, if you love us without paragon, just create us with a nature and environment that will not push us to sin, or better yet, create us directly in heaven. My little cousin who cares for ants in a terrarium has better supreme being ethics.

I don't think I've heard of a religion which describes its deity as non-judgemental.

[–] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The judgementalness is pretty much the entire point. Without judgement, nothing has value.

If you appear in a courtroom and your judge hates you, either you did something wrong in the trial or you need a different judge.

Yeah being a lonely male of average or lesser looks on tinder will definitely improve your mental state.

Tinder is absolute trash and only helpful to attractive people who just want some one night stands. If you're actually looking for a relationship, don't install any apps and try to meet new people in real life instead.

[–] SleepyHarry@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is just provably untrue. You might have more relationship-weighted encounters off-app, but to say that it's unhelpful if you don't want a relationship is false.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

on what grounds is this false

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well people do find relationships via dating sites, although quite possibly not tinder.

I know four or five couples from my friend group that met online.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Yes some people get lucky but I'm certain 90% of tinder users won't find their long-term relationship through tinder. Therefore tinder is, for most, a waste of time and effort and possibly even money.

[–] Hank@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah they're not intended to help people to get and stay in a healthy relationship. Their business model is maximal engagement and relationships stand in the way of that.

Reminds me of a MASH bit after Radar gets back from R&R (Season 8 Episode 4 Good-bye Radar part 1):

Radar's duffel bag with french perfume is tossed by some Marines and the bottle breaks.

Hawkeye: Woohoo get a whiff of him; we've been standing around in a coal mine and he's been wrestling with every woman in Tokyo.

Radar: It was 4 guys that got me to smell like this.

Col. Potter: As long as you had a good time.

You don't have a chance on dating apps as a male except you belong to the top 1% most popular accounts.

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm a guy and I met my wife on tinder.

[–] SleepyHarry@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same. Whenever I see messages like his it just smacks of denial / coping strategies. "It's all those promiscuous women's fault I can't get a girlfriend" fuckin grow up.

If on one given straight dating app, 66% of people are men and 33% are women, isn't it logical to think that a lot of men are going to have a lot of difficulty to find anything of value? Incel logic is trash, but that doesn't mean there aren't things wrong with Tinder.

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OK. Good for you I guess. But statistically you're the exception. Not the rule

"Get your evidence away from my beliefs"

Well this viedeo isn't 100% accurate since the platforms don't reveal all their data, but it doesn't has to be to prove the point: https://youtu.be/x3lypVnJ0HM
