Why are people so bad at doing things in moderation

Since 720p downloading isn't really available on yt-dlp anymore, I made an alias for it

alias yt720p="yt-dlp -S vcodec:h264,fps,res:720,acodec:m4a"

I have no interest discussing in your extrapolations of OP's motivations and behavior

Wouldn’t it be nice to share a hobby or personal interest with someone you are romantically and sexually involved in, too?

I've had a lot of different hobbies over the past ~ 10 years, some for a shorter and some for a longer time. Not once has that resulted in a genuine romantic connection. Not even a date.

On the other hand, I have had a lot of success finding romantic partners both on dating apps and in bars. All of the partners I've found that way have been at least somewhat likeminded and I've shared interests and hobbies with them. On an app, you see the person's interests in the profile, in a bar you can talk to them and find out whether you have something in common.

Maybe it's against the etiquette to seek out romantic partners at hobby events around here (a nordic country). Maybe I just personally don't like doing that. Either way, I totally understand if somebody wants to date in spaces that specifically cater to that.

I would say no. While they make the process more superficial and gamify it to the gain of the companies rather than the users, lots of people find partners on dating apps. A quick google reveals that already in 2017 dating apps were the leading way couples originally met.

So I would at least try them, just keep in mind how they work and what the incentives are. And don’t take it personally if you don’t get a lot of matches - that happens to a lot of people. Also I would definitely not pay for a subscription, that’s the scam part.

I just bought a used kindle and jailbroke it a few weeks ago for a similar use case

The use of LLM had a measurable impact on participants, and while the benefits were initially apparent, as we demonstrated over the course of 4 months, the LLM group's participants performed worse than their counterparts in the Brain-only group at all levels: neural, linguistic, scoring.

For normie protestors, leaving your phone home works perfectly well

The orginal version was ”grass is free”

Either way, there is a lot of things where a book, with illustrations or not, is an inefficient way to convey information.
