Yes, actually. My ex, sister, and nephew all got bit. Wan't American netflix on your phone, do x, y and z. Want to play games free, just follow these simple steps. You're not seeing it because you probably have a good BS detector and google/research first. But they very much exist.

A large number of malware sites will walk you through side loading and bypassing your security to install their app which may be a compromised game or app like a Trojan. Not having this access is the only way to deal with this.

As stated in the project read me, it's just a joke project.

This is literally the dumbest thing I've read on vice.com. And I just read an article about a girl that drank a bottle of marijuana personal lubricant.

Not an American, but it really comes down to fear, and the illusion of safety; the TSA is a perfect example. A gun doesn't keep you or your family safe, but it gives you the illusion of safety. Government surveillance is the same, since the rhetoric is that it will keep America safe from terrorists, yet like the TSA and guns, when we look at the data, all of these provide no tangible benefit, and often great harm.

I wouldn't recommend an oil that dried or goes rancid, this is an opportunity to create a substrate for bacteria. Mineral oil would seem like a better choice, and since it doesn't dry, you won't accidentally make the situation worse.

Considering how cold it gets up here in Canada, this is scary.

OKCupid shows you the last time they logged in, and I've checked with a dummy account and it's off by 10-15min at most. I've also chatted with a couple, so there is definitely a real person at the other end.

Lovely thought, but that's not how humans are designed. And I never hear this from people that actually have an ugly partner. I'm 40, not 80, so sexual attraction is an important part of selecting a mate. I don't find many women unattractive, but 300lbs is at least 100lbs more than what I consider attractive.

Definitely for some, and I have a dozen ignored messages to prove that. But the number of likes I get, and the fact that I'm responding to girls that actively "liked" my profile, makes me get a sense that it's something else.

I agree, I have have 3 coffee dates lined up this week after taking that approach on Sunday.

Having just been back in the scene this past week, this is disturbingly accurate. I'm 41.

I'm surprised by the number of women that are still on the site from the last time I went through this 5 years ago.

I have a large profile, with a ton of hooks for conversation, and yet the number of girls I talk to on there either don't want to or can't be bothered to ask a question. And unfortunately, the one that does, I have no attraction to.

Being 41 is also problematic. There is a change that happens to a lot of the women around this time. They seem to shift from something that is attractive, to suddenly looking like a mom. The haircut, the face, the body. For the life of me, I can't seem to make myself attracted to this Mom look. Which means looking for partners much younger.

It's also been strange, you'll message a girl, and ask a question. She'll respond with the answer, and that's it. Trying to keep that going ends up trying to share something about myself, and then ask another question. They answer the question again, and provide nothing to carry on the conversation. I get the feeling that these women want to be wooed, but that happens after we meet. At this stage, you're trying to find compatibility. You could be a dog, you could be a gay man who poses as a woman because he likes the compliments (read it on Reddit), a bot, etc... Interaction is the key.

Ah well, back I go.
