Try to find places you can become a regular, it sounds like you're experiencing true grief and isolation is exacerbating it. I know how hard it can be to pull yourself out. Making myself a regular in places that suited my interests, a local bookstore where I buy all of my books and have a chat with the owner, an arcade where I go, a bar that has a night of music i'm into helped me. Just getting to the point where you can go into a space, and be acknowledged as a human being that another human being has seen and talked to before was really grounding for me. I made no friends from doing this, but it helped me feel a bit less isolated and helped make other positive changes that led to being less alone. What you do is so much less important than forcing yourself to just put yourself into a situation where you are face to face with someone else. I hope this helps

This has to be the most effective ad campaign they have done, I have seen some variation of this story on every platform I use. I don't think the brand has a lot of goodwill, but my awareness has gone through the roof due to this AI push

oh yeah, my perception was that it was 75% gay, but, I think the grindr comparison is unfair, I think I've only been propositioned once or twice and no unsolicited dick pics!

It's not perfect, but I've managed to make some friends on Bumble BFF, https://bumble.com/bff-us/ . If you are more of a one on one person and feel awkward in groups, this is the best thing i've found so far

he has recently been clawing at relevancy with anti-trans talking points, which is specifically why I think his name would be something google would want to stay away

Well, if racism in America was over. As in, similar rates of wealth and poverty, incarceration and college degrees, etc etc, across racial lines, then yeah, it would be a distraction. But when economic disadvantage, inherited from outright racist laws, is abundantly clear to see, it's hard for me to accept that we are not still anti black (and anti poor, etc) as a country when things like this happen

My immediate guess after reading this was that this isn't a change at Google but a name issue. Jeff Star getting confused with Jeffree Star (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffree_Star). He's a lightening rod for controversy, and has been in the middle of a controversial public persona shift that probably has caused an uptick in all kinds of requests to google.

It would be the exact same problem, and equally bad.

I think the "My Tasted Notes" section captures it, that is a really nice looking screen
