Let's get real about online dating.

TomMcGiverin comments on Jul 23, 2020:

If the US had appropriate enforcement of antitrust laws, then dating sites would have to actually compete with each other and thus provide decent service to their customers. Instead, as the above post states, the industry has followed the same pattern as most American industries and ended up with little competition as conglomerates buy and swallow up all their competition. This could have been avoided, but no doubt congress sees dating sites as non-essential businesses, so competition or government regulation is not a priority. I also think that the dating sites have gotten worse in the last couple years and it's probably due to increased monopolization in the industry.

Had to take poor Mazie to the vet today.

"Dating for real people".

TomMcGiverin comments on Jul 20, 2020:

Until Covid is over, my view is that the dating scene of singles meeting new people to date will be taking a pause among my age group and older. The only dating scene that will continue to go on will be at bars among young adults, because they are at relatively less risk from Covid and are the age group that right now is continuing to visit bars and restaurants, thus leading to the surge in Covid. Older people like me will continue to pretty much stay home and not mix socially in public. Intelligent people will not bother with dating sites to attempt to meet and date other singles during Covid, because it's obvious that few people, esp. my age or older, will be willing to take the risk of meeting someone from the site in person, when all they really know before that about the other person is that person's word about their infection status and self-protection habits around Covid. The dating sites are probably having to really cut their prices to get any suckers to sign up and pay. My guess is that younger adults who are only or mainly interested in using dating sites or bars to hook up will probably continue to keep doing what they were doing pre-Covid because they are willing to risk their health in the first place, whether it's STDs or Covid. People over 45, not so much...

TomMcGiverin comments on Jul 20, 2020:

Most of the culture wars in America involve PC and I agree that most of the culture war issues do matter and are about important things that should be changed, but my main beef about PC is how it's used by both major parties and the corporate media to cynically distract the masses from even more important issues like class warfare, corporate rule of our government, and plutocracy as well as income inequality and permanent war for American empire. You could also probably add in climate change, as both parties take huge funding from the fossil fuel industry. If you are someone from a foreign country or a Martian and you only observed American politics thru the corporate media, you would think that the only conflicts and division in America were the culture wars and PC. But any American living here who has woke up, not in the PC sense, but in the common sense meaning of losing their illusions, knows that the issues left unsaid are what's most wrong with America. The two major parties pretend to be very different and, as long as all the attention is on cultural issues and PC, they are different. But on the issues that matter most to me and most woke up Americans, they are a duopoly.

TomMcGiverin comments on Jul 19, 2020:

He probably is looking for someone to help with him and his daughter, and he seems to have let you know he now thinks you two are not a match. At least you found out early. After being widowed, I am glad to not be responsible for anyone else either, same as you. When I start looking again after Covid, I will again be seeking someone who enjoys their independence and is done being responsible for their children, but that will be a tall order here in the Midwest where almost all the women are so family and child-oriented.

A really good book that most of you would enjoy reading.

TomMcGiverin comments on Jul 19, 2020:

Read it and saw the stage play based on it. The sad fact is that there are many rich people, as well as others in the top 10%, who arrogantly believe that they are entitled to exploit people who live their whole lives slaving away as members of the working poor. In my view, tho it would not exactly be equal justice, it might be more fair if those exploiters ended up facing the guillotine or imprisoned on an island for their cruel selfishness.

TomMcGiverin comments on Jul 18, 2020:

I have mixed feelings about the Civil War re-enactors. My late father was into one of those groups, altho he was too old to do the battle theater stuff. He was definitely as racist as most white guys of his time, but I don't feel he was attracted to the Civil War group out of racism as he was just as interested in WWII history. Nowadays with BLM I feel embarrassed to tell people he was part of a Civil War group.

Random thoughts

TomMcGiverin comments on Jul 17, 2020:

No shit. Repubs are total hypocrites and selective over where government should and shouldn't intervene in people's lives. They only want government involved when it involves protecting the property and profits of corporations and the rich, as well as enforcing the religion of the religious right on the rest of us. Abortion restrictions are their payback to their evangelical voters, tho they don't give them anything else but conservative judicial nominations.

Is anyone else concerned about fully reopening schools next month?

TomMcGiverin comments on Jul 17, 2020:

I think what will happen in most states is that the schools will reopen and then close again after a few weeks because the numbers will explode by then. Plan on almost a whole school year ahead of remote learning online for the K-12 schools.

Movements have been here for decades to reduce economic equality and get single payer healthcare, but Obama ignored them and Biden has already said he won't back them either. This guy is either dishonest or naive to believe that Biden won't just ignore or do lip service to the left if elected. We won't get what we want until either the system collapses or there is the real threat of third party candidates getting elected prez and in congress with large enough numbers to challenge the major parties. Protests are easily ignored, which is why we still have permanent war in the Middle East.

Trump is the definition of fascism. As far as the Dems being Far Left, I can only wish...Biden sure as hell wouldn't know far left if it bit him in the ass... It also needs to be said that, in my opinion, the people who keep voting for corporate Dem candidates for prez are also just as much sheeple as those who support Trump. The reason is that they keep being lied to by corporate Dems who say that if elected they will help the economic fortunes of the working class and middle class, then after getting their votes they go back to promoting the neoliberal policies desired by their corporate donors. Rinse, repeat the cycle...

There is a reason that in more civilized and fair parts of the world, like Europe, that workers with physically demanding jobs are allowed a hardship exemption that allows them to retire at an earlier age than desk workers without losing anything. No one should have to work until they either die on the job due to their age or end up crippled or in constant pain after they are allowed to retire. Only in America, where they are considered expendable and disposable..

TomMcGiverin comments on Jun 30, 2020:

It's a good article and nothing I hadn't already figured out. Dating may still be an option during Covid for people younger than my age group because their risk is way less than mine, unless they have an underlying medical condition. For my age group, however, I think dating will be out of the question until there is a vaccine or an effective treatment because no one in their right mind is just going to trust someone they meet thru a dating site, no longer how much they message before meeting, that the other person is being completely truthful about their safety practices and infection status or risk, esp. women, who I already know from experience with online dating before the pandemic, are even less trusting than men about honesty from the opposite sex, not that they don't have reason. I am not going to bother fighting this distrust and impossible situation these days, if for no other reason than my age and heart condition make pandemic dating downright deadly a risk for me.

TomMcGiverin comments on Jun 30, 2020:

It really comes down to either being pro-social and wearing a mask or being selfish and arrogant so that your precious personal freedom is more important so you don't wear one. Conservatives are, by nature, selfish people, so they will only wear masks if they feel there is something in it for them, such as protecting their own loved ones or themselves. They do not believe in doing things for society's benefit. As Thatcher said, "There is no society"..

Supreme Court hands down major decision reaffirming abortion rights

TomMcGiverin comments on Jun 29, 2020:

I've been saying forever that the SC will never actually overturn Roe v. Wade because they know that in doing so they would hand the Dems every election after that, at the fed level esp., so even tho they have had the votes on the court for many years to overturn it, they won't. They know it would turn so many women into single issue voters against the Repubs that they would be finished as a party. So instead the Repubs will restrict abortion rights as much as possible at the state level while allowing it to remain legal.

What’s your geographic range for dating?

TomMcGiverin comments on Jun 28, 2020:

55 miles at most. I am not a young pup anymore and don't want to put in the time and energy to drive all the time while building the relationship for months. Even then, someone would have to move after a year or so or else the relationship would probably end. Just being realistic. Since I don't have kids or family around where I live and almost all the women in my age group do, I prefer not to have to do all that driving and time to pursue a long distance relationship that might or might not become permanent, knowing that most likely I will be the one who has to move away from my friends (who are my family these days), not the woman...

TomMcGiverin comments on Jun 27, 2020:

It's always better to be more inclusive than less in a dating profile. That way the reader can judge for themselves if they are interested or not based on a fuller picture of who you are. If they reject you then, after reading it, rather than later after wasting your time and theirs with messaging and maybe a meeting or two, that's more for the better as far as I'm concerned.

BLM is becoming popular lately with the same kind of comfortable white suburban liberals that were against the Vietnam War and for racial equality back in the 60s, but now, just as then, those same whites will quickly betray the BLM movement and vote Republican if BLM becomes part of an alliance with socialists. I remember bitterly how this played out in the late 60s as those suburban whites voted for Nixon instead of McGovern in 1968 when progressives last had a candidate on the ballot as a Dem for prez.

Why I Stopped Talking About Racial Reconciliation and Started Talking About White Supremacy | ...

TomMcGiverin comments on Jun 20, 2020:

Using the words Racial Reconciliation is misleading and unconstructive because it both implies that there is equal power between minority racial groups and white people while also denying that racism is founded by and maintained by a system of white supremacy, and capitalism, for that matter. It's better to be blunt and call racism what it is, a system of white supremacy that divides the lower classes against each other and rewards lower class members of white society for supporting it and allying themselves against minority group members and instead siding with the police in exchange for enjoying white privilege that protects them from the police and also advantages them with employers, banks, and other institutions that dispense rewards and benefits.

TomMcGiverin comments on Jun 17, 2020:

I always hated disco and country music. It sucks to be so marginalized as these two genres have always been really popular, one or the other, ever since I was a late teenager. At the same time, I have always liked soul, R& B, and blues, so it's not about race. Disco was just very repetitious, bland and dumb. The lyrics were also inane for the most part. I hate country music for many reasons, some cultural, others for the sound.

I now plan to just take a break from trying to date or dating sites until this virus crisis has passed. No use trying anyway until then because nobody is going to start meeting a stranger that might or might not be infected.

I'm sure that Emmet Till was not the first, not by a longshot. But before him probably all the names of murdered black men killed by whites were either not recorded for history or else were slaves and thus their names were considered immaterial. Any record of the latter group would probably only have been recorded in business or property documents.
