Destruction

It's almost hard to remember how good okcupid was, and how well it worked, because of how far it's fallen

okcupid was a tool that effectively matched likely-compatible humans, and one which empowered its users to find love, friends, and new relationships, both locally and globally

Piece by piece, year by year, each thing which made it great has been dismantled before our eyes, and to a chorus of community confusion and outrage

I feel sadness and rage for the loss of a tool that brought life and joy into the lives of its users

It's the end of an era :(

:(((((

It was nice while it lasted...thanks for all the fish

tl;dr fuck IAC/Match Group, OkC management has no virtue

FYI.

EDIT: Should've used the word 'removing', not destroying. I'm not advocating for public vandalism.

EDIT 2: Wow, some of you are absolutely in love with the "those who forget history are doomed to repeat it" thing. Yes, I've read 1984. I already addressed this below, but I'll say it again: if you need statues to teach you history, and if you think people will forget history as soon as they're gone, then your public education system sucks. Invest in better education, if you're worried. Statues won't save you from that problem; the idea that they would is just fear of change wrapped in self-righteousness.

I keep seeing this argument, that destroying statues of evil people is bad because it erases history. But that's simply not true. The knowledge of their deeds, and how people responded to those deeds (both in said person's time and beyond), is not gone. Furthermore, since when is history taught by plaques and statues? If you're worried that people will become unaware of history through

A little back story: I’ve been playing Magic off and on since Core 2014 but never realized that there was an ongoing story with the cards. Fast forward a little to the release of Amonkhet, I got back into the game because my cousin picked it up and I got super excited because I’m a huge fan of ancient Egypt and that’s like Amonkhet’s whole theme. Still had no idea the cards had a story. Fast forward some more to a couple months ago, I got back into the game due to ikoria and the Godzilla stuff, I wanted to start playing a little more competitively in standard and noticed that some of the amonkhet gods were in war of the spark and at about the same time Wizards put out the story that’s on the Ikoria cards, so I put 2 and 2 together and decided to go read about Amonkhet cuz it’s my favorite, still clueless about hour of devastation, and now I fucking hate Nicol Bolas for fucking ruining my favorite plane and I hope he rots in his damn prison and never gets his spark back!!! Just wanted t

I know we’re all saying the destruction and looting is happening by mostly outsiders, but why aren’t the locals following curfew to help those outsiders get caught? There’s a march today at 3pm and I have hopes for a great turnout. I’m just scared the locals won’t go home for curfew and more violence will keep hurting the cause.

I’m in support for these peaceful protests all the way. But please let the NG and cops arrest the assholes that are destroying our beautiful city.

I am 100% behind the protesting of police treatment of minorities and the killing of George Floyd. But destructive forces are using the cover that these protests are providing to rob, steal, destroy and cause mayhem.

If the protesters want to be a true positive force, they need to be off the streets of New York City by 8 PM tonight or else they are actually aiding and abetting the looters and rioters. Please protest, have your voice heard and then clear out and let the police protect the city from these outsiders. We need you off the streets by 8PM.

I don't have a good argument against, "Why are we glorifying these horrible people?"

I'm not particularly skilled at rhetoric. But something about seeing these mobs destroy statues of people from the past, even if they were bastards, really rubs me the wrong way.

Perhaps it's because I believe it's wrong to judge the past through the moral lens of the present- but that's not a particularly strong counter-argument against "these statues are OPPRESSING me!"

I dunno. Maybe I'm the asshole on the wrong side of history. I was hoping we could discuss the issue.

Chaziel Sunz had it right - BLM is set up to sabotage the black community. BTW Chaziel Sunz wasn’t an organizer for BLM, that was just clickbait. He did, however, make solid points about the movement and what their true motives are. BLM is leading black people to their slaughter, and the evilest thing is that the people at the top of that movement KNOW IT. Chaziel Sunz was talking about a civil war and BLM being infiltrated by Antifa back in 2017. Now look at today.

This whole fuckin thing is planned and it is designed to manipulate everyone into picking a “side.” There is no winner though, because the end goal is depopulation and chaos. Are the police corrupt? YES. But this movement isn’t about fixing the problem, it’s about making the problem worse. Race relations are going to be worse than 1800s soon enough. It’s about brining back segregation 2.0, and making sure the black death rate skyrockets.

A lot of the discussion around Sushant's passing away has been directed towards the cons of nepotism. I as his fan would like to share what I observed post the success of Dhoni -what I now realise was a slow and steady destruction of his professional image in the industry. It was very specific and NOT  nepotism

I know he wont come back...I know this is pointless but I do feel the need to let out what i felt,read and saw as a fan who followed him closely. I write this coz I never saw such barrage of blinds continuously on the other successful outsiders like Kartik,Ayush and Rao.

1- So this was after Raabta flopped and Sushant started shoot for Kedarnath. And there started a huge flow of blinds on him. Specifically  Masand who did blinds like he is giving his director a very hard time on set, he is insecure of Sara being a starkid and getting all the attention from the  crew members.  Link: https://openthemagazine.com/cinema/art-of-the-rehash/

Then came a series of blinds from th
