They still exist. Tend to be pretty competitive on price, although they must be losing out to online shopping in a lot of places since they don't offer any showroom advantage.

In my experience because you're picking up from the Argos you can do an instant return if you realize you ordered wrong (or the item is rubbish). Not perfect but a good way to get your hands on the product with an easy refund option

I like far-future concept-driven science fiction, is there something for me too?

Dating apps 100% suck. I'm a good looking guy and I put the effort into getting great pictures and optimizing my profile to the point I was able to get dates 5+ nights a week and date 2-3 new women a week, and while it was validating, the quality of dates was significantly worse than what I used to get from just approaching women in places like bookstores, after yoga classes, etc when that wasn't as culturally abnormal.

Ironically I met my wife while I was on a date with another woman. We had a much better organic connection, and she was way hotter than almost all the girls on the apps.

This anecdote does not really feel like an argument that dating apps suck. Sounds like you were using them wrong somehow

Everything about this is wrong.

1) The platforms aren't growing that impressively. Most of their users have been on the platform for a while, were previous users, etc.

2) It doesn't matter how good the app is, you need a network effect. New users are going to go to where the potential dates are.

3) Marketing does wonders. An app can suck and have great marketing. It will get users over an app that actually works and doesn't have good marketing.

4) Lots of people on dating apps are looking for dates (hookups), not partners. If the apps can keep you getting dates, not partners, they can keep you on the app and happy.

"If the apps can keep you getting dates, not partners, they can keep you on the app and happy."

I know this sounds judgemental but I'm not convinced the people going on lots of dates are "Happy" even if they're being successful in dating and hookups.

It looks like you've been downvoted but no one has replied to tell you that your comment seems to be very under-informed about diseases and vaccines. I suggest you google Tetanus for a start

Do the cops not ever get tired of being fooled like this? Or do they just enjoy the chance to go out in their army-surplus armored cars and pretend to be special forces?

This is a really good question. Sadly the answer is that they think it's how the system is meant to work. Well that seems to be the answer that I see coming from police spokespeople

Same, reborn

I hope they give it a new name with the rebirth. I know it means something to some people but there are a lot of different things with that name
