The internet has truly ruined the relationship between hot people & non-hot people. You used to only get roasted by people who were high 8ās / solid 9ās / perfect 10ās. Now itās anyone with an internet connection thinking they can critique you + your takes. Itās concerning.
Like if I post a song and a 9.2 tells me that itās bad? Immediately I think āMan, maybe I should reconsider this entirely.ā But when a 4.5 gets a little burst of bravery and tells me that the song I posted was bad? Iām sort of embarrassed for them. And a little grossed out. Who let them be on the internet? Why did they think their profile pic was a good idea? Why does it feel like I need to take a long shower to wash off the effects of being in (internet) proximity to them? We have to restore the balance of only letting hotter people speak down to you.
Some suggestions:
1. Know your hot # and stay in your lane. Itās embarrassing if you try to comment or sass someone thats much more attractive than you :/
2. If you want to roast more people then maybe get hotter? Idk? Drink more water? Get those 10k steps in? Do that thing where you make your jawline more visible? Read a book? Meditate? Do some yoga? Put all the energy you have pent up for roasting and apply it to becoming more attractive.
3. If you arenāt hot enough to roast people and you donāt want to get hotter, then take yourself over to Facebook. That wasteland is a free-for-all and it seems like the hotness scale is nonexistent there anyways.
Hope this helps!
(Per usual, read this with a healthy slab of sarcasm & satire. And if you take this seriously and it offends you, go back to point #2. Youāre giving low 5ās energy.)

idk if this is unpopular or not but
i think we need to more genuinely care about people. so much of how we interact with or rather criticise people nowadays is excused by simple ācaringā about someone meanwhile itās the rudest comment ever. if you really cared about someone in a genuine kind sort of way you wouldnāt say something to insult someone. basically what iām referring to is the commenters on instagram reels or tiktok on random peoples posts doing like completely unrelated stuff then theyāll just out of nowhere say something like āthis isnāt healthyā or any comment related to their weight or how they look. and theyād excuse themselves in a way as if they were looking out for the person and warning them of health risks when theyāre really just being horrible and wanting an excuse that makes them seem nice and caring.
unprovoked unkind comments on someoneās looks or weight will never be ācaringā, you donāt know this person!!! i think to be caring you need to consider someoneās feelings and i donāt mean acknowledging that someone might get upset about a comment you make, but acknowledging and caring that what you say might upset them so not saying it
1. because itās unkind
2. unneeded
3. not considerate or empathetic.

Your jokes arenāt funny. Your takes are ice cold. Your thoughts on ZoĆ« Kravitz and Channing Tatum are dumb as fuck. Contrarianism isn't a personality. Nothing good has ever come from tweeting, so stop. Just stop it. Thank you.

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones ā we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness ā weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like thereās a special connectivity on this app that I havenāt felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010ās tumblr. The fact that you canāt promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isnāt mass video content like Tik Tok is great. Itās not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope weāll all be here for a long time.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. Itās made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought Iād feel the same way about URL friends. Iām constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
Itās nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. Iām going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
