And if you think Zhora was bad, beating up on a fellow skin-job, dont

Nope, denied. Don't care what Ridley Scott says, he doesn't understand his own movie. Deckard is not a replicant.

So, Tinder is launching a plan in which they bill you half a grand.

Per month.

WTF. Guys, if you ever feel the need to waste 500 bucks, please, send them to me instead.

How do they even justify that?  Idiots.  

As far as I have read, they add a banner to your profile for everybody to know you have the money to buy a premium account worth 500 bucks per month.


They also put your profile in a more prominent location which makes it more discoverable. The idea is that, since horsegirls have 9999+ matches and can't possibly check them all, by paying you ensure your profile will be one of the ones they actually check.

Then the premium Tinder also grants you superpowers, such as sending messages to people who has not matched you. I guess that is because nothing is better for getting a horsegirl than sending her unsolicited messages like a creep.


The plan fails because the good horsegirls are likely not on Tinder, but somewhere else, lol.

500 a month is still cheaper than hiring a sex worker every weekend. I suspect that is the targeted demographic.

Dunno. When I brought the subkect up with real people, first thing everybody said was you could buy as many women as you wanted and still come ahead. I guess women are cheaper here.

I cant speak for accuracy, as i really dont have friends in that
world,  but according to something online for 2023 about Las vegas,

where i think its legal:

"When you call a "Girls to Your Room" ad, the agency will charge $150

to $250 as basically a delivery fee, with absolutely no services
included, despite what they might tell you.  When the worker shows

up, you're supposed to negotiate a price with her for services, which

typically start at $500.

That is sheer madness.

I could buy another horse for the price and still have money to spare. I'd probably have enough extra to buy some welcome treats.

But then, Vegas is Vegas. I have heard of agency girls in the US billing 200 USD or so. Still sheer madness.

Hello, and welcome to one of darknetuser's random thoughts. This one is horse-free, for a change.

So, I was playing some pokemon with friends (we have a nice Rapidash in our team, which is a Ponyta evolution btw) and the topic of dating apps popped up. If you have been following my thoughts here or elsewhere, you will be aware that Tinder, the most popular dating app in a lot of countries that matter, is giving bad results to their users. The reason is that women tend to be passive pickers - they wait for dudes to make contact - while men are active pickers - they carpet-bomb, initiating contact with vast ammount of women each.

The end result is that, if you are a woman, you get more men than you can deal with so you don't get to read the vast majority of profiles you get. This means that many men are putting a lot of effort in their profiles and presentation cards and getting no success because they are not getting read at all to begin with. Meanwhile if you are a woman you get to wade through so much crap.

Somebody mentioned another app that tries to remedy this by making it so only women can initiate contact. This sounded like a great idea, because it prevents women from getting swarmed and does not force men to do all the work for no gain.

This model could have been sold as a male empowering move. A quick search shows that the board behind the app is mostly composed of women who aim to end online mysogyny, empower women, and are also scanning user profiles for gun pics in order to ban them.

Fun part is a lot of my profile pictures in other places feature me, wearing my full "cowboy uniform" and hugging a horse. The cowboy uniform always features a bushcraft knife, machete or axe, because if you work with ropes and horses you HAVE to carry something sharp, PERIOD. Admitedly, guns != axes, but I am clever enough to know social media who targets gun bearers will dislike pictures of machete bearing cowboys.

This is particularly sucky from a company that encourages you to be yourself online. Sorry, darknetuser is a weapon tottin horsehugger with a talibanesque beard, so if you ban any of those elements, you are banning darknetuser.


I have bad news for the politicly correct crowd. When you tell men to be themselves, you will find this out:

Yeah, I know the post is not horse-free. I lied. Yay.

Or women.. or anyone in between. at least the 'honest' ones.  "This
is me, deal with it"

If you know any single woman in marriage age who would dress like Fett, that would totally be headline material. She would be very welcome in my gaming group :P

more like xena..   but same idea :)

Ask her if she would like sleeping in a bedroom which smells like horses and which has so many dogs in it that it is hard to walk without stepping on any.

If so, ask her if the idea of traveling abroad to a country in which her money is worth twice as much, and then playing board games (either Eurogames or Ametritrash, my group has no preferences) for days sounds like a holiday plan.

I just want an Amish girl without having to become Amish myself

That sounds fine, but the horses and dogs would have to love her. Otherwise, it would not work.

Actually, that is where my social life mostly dies, right there. Nobody ever comes to visit because there are so many animals.

Never had problem with too many.

My sister has around 15 cats now.  couple of dogs.

I think the issue is most people does not like dogs anymore, and I have way more than "a couple". In addition, they live in the house itself. Actually I rotate them in and out because having them all inside at the same time is unwieldly even for me XD
