The Dating App Paradox: When You Find Exactly What You’re Looking For (Even When It's Not There)

A few minutes ago, I was talking to a younger guy from Peru who really seemed to need a friend. We were just goofing off, until out of nowhere, he told me he loves older guys, was looking for a "suggar", and asked if I could pay him. I unmatched him immediately. But it got me thinking about… read more

G.O.A.T. Polyphia as a state of mind. 😈

Why returning to Polyphia's recordings is a journey into another dimension of emotion and technical perfection 🥹✨ There are those fleeting moments when technology becomes a true time machine... 📱💫 It’s enough for me to click "play" on one of the videos in my phone gallery in the silence of my… read more

Lets go get it! 🤑

We are so much more than likes and views from strangers. We are business women, technology specialist, boardroom baddies! Too long spent on the wrong things, make you forget who you are and what you have to offer.

From Fragile to Antifragile

If the first stage was about separation, and the second about distraction and imposed frameworks, then the third stage reaches its final point: What happens to a person when their ability to respond is gradually replaced by automatic reaction? This is where Nassim Taleb's distinction between the… read more

My report

May Allah preserve all truths concerning Islamic history for us and cleanse us of all forms of falsehood. Furthermore, I harbor a strong desire to engage with and adapt to various cultures. As a Turk living within the tradition that emerged following the Tanzimat era, I aspire to keep both the… read more

What if everything we're doing in life is ultimately meaningless?

I was thinking about this again while working. As human beings, what are we actually doing here? We spend our lives chasing money, building careers, dreaming about the future, developing technology, falling in love, experiencing happiness, facing struggles, and creating memories. Generation after… read more

🖤 THE DRAIN — WHEN EVERYTHING YOU CANNOT HOLD ONTO STARTS SPINNING IN THE DARK. | BAD OMENS × HEALTH × SWARM

Some songs become part of your playlist. Others become part of the architecture of your everyday life. THE DRAIN is the second kind for me. I listen to Bad Omens every day. Not because I need a soundtrack playing in the background, but because music has always been one of the ways I understand… read more

DID YOU KNOW? In Japan, traditional craftsmanship and modern technology come together to create harmony with nature. Rather than competing with nature, people and their environment are seen as partners working together. Any Japanese people here who can confirm this? 🇯🇵

Bits and pieces🎵

This one came to me a couple of years ago. The melody and lyrics are mine, just not the vocals. I am not a professional musician, but I do sing and music does "visit" me, sometimes in my dreams (entire, complex compositions, even classical music, piano music, etc) The problem is, having no actual… read more

Books, goals, future

If I hadn’t read the blurb, I would have tossed the book aside. The author chose to shroud the subject matter, which is, in fact, novel and little-known - in unnecessary vagueness. It’s a good thing I borrowed this from the library. Then again, such nonsense can sometimes be the result of a poor… read more

I guess this is the reason i am still single😅

my little retro technology corner. Everything i have used by myself in the past. does anything bring back memories?

Opinion: Has technology improved social connection? In theory, we’re more connected than ever. Does it feel that way to you?

Work

Love having higher ups that don’t even understand the technology that we use everyday, shoots the whole department in the foot just so they can ask “why are you limping?” 🖕

Night Suit/Day Suit

Sums up my month so far. Sith Assassin for cons and Halloween parties, Technology Architect and Consultant for my day job; but I'm always suited up in some way.

Am I weird for spendings time on a design?

Sometime when I am focusing on creating something to convey thought and feeling, I do spends hours if not days trying to reach a statisfying final work, and will talk and pay less attention to conversation while at it. And some of my coworker do look at me with a weird look, as I can spends hours… read more

THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE BOX — PART IV The Attention Trap

There is an uncomfortable paradox in modern technology. The same device that can give you access to almost the entire accumulated knowledge of humanity can also consume the attention you need to use that knowledge. The problem is not the phone. It is not social media. It is not technology… read more

This is the last time I was impressed by the technology that I still miss today

I never got used to MP3 players that invaded the market with its convenience but with a much lower audio quality.

It's late and I am bored

What do you all think is the most interesting thing to learn about and/or read about? I'll start first. My favorite thing to learn about is the history of software and software tampering like malware, Trojan horses and stuff of the sort and how we utilized our tactics to draw out the originator… read more

💚🐾

Thank you nature for keeping me sane and grounded, especially when I spiral into thoughts about the meaninglessness of life 🙏🙈 (..and yet here I am, on my phone, posting about it online.. Finding peace in nature, yet still depending on technology to exist in the world ✌️🤖)

Starting again, not from zero

Losing an account means losing a place where your work, conversations, and ideas have accumulated. Rebuilding that space is strange — especially when the work itself never stopped. So, rather than simply reintroducing myself, I want to make something clear about what I do here. I'm an independent… read more

See Karen? this is why I don’t trust humans with technology

It was always 0kg when she was over it

If you can travel back time, which period will you choose?

My fellow history nerds when is the ideal period to explore more. (edited)

Film #166 Laputa: Castle In The Sky (1986)

Animation Fantasy Adventure Another gem from Miyazaki, a critique on abuse of technology and its blind pursuit, young love and care, friendship, the superiority of nature over everything, and of course the legendary Laputa My Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (edited)

Mental Health Update: You Are Not Your Jira Ticket 🧠

Sunday scaries hit tech workers harder than most. What is one boundary you are setting for your work week starting today? Living inside code, bugs, design sprints, and endless notifications causes a unique kind of brain fog. We close our laptops at the end of the day, but our minds keep running… read more

Trust

Everyone complains about loneliness, but nobody trusts anyone; technology has completely messed things up in the face of paranoia.

Most people,

when fed up, try again hoping things will be different, instead of trying things differently in the hopes of not getting fed up. (I just posted this but it disappeared and I lost all the comments on it, so I'm trying again a different way before I get mad at the technology.)

I love technology projects and I'm new here

Just download the app

Hey everyone what's going on? Looking to make some friends around my own age, I'm 36 🤗 Male or female dont care. Other countries are cool too. Be patient, I don't do technology 🤣😅 (edited)

fav breakfast: coffee, then a rabbit hole

if you stop to think about it... everything you may send to your virtual crush (that potentially lives overseas) travels through an infinity of anemones, mollusks, corals, fish and crustaceans. inhabiting that same space long after the submarine cables were laid your messages, photos and videos,… read more

Dating apps

So im a graduate student in philosophy and a lot of my research concerns technology and our well-being. Here are some shower thoughts: Its strange to me that one of the ways we most commonly engage with people now is through apps. This obviously allows us to meet people we would not otherwise… (edited) read more

Looking for friends

Anyone wanna take? I'm literally surrounding myself with technology because I have nothing currently. It's very lonely. 🥺

If something isn’t meant to be, neither distance nor technology can make it last. Whether in real life or online, genuine connections unfold naturally, and what isn’t meant to stay eventually fades.
