honestly social media and dating apps need to be outlawed. smartphones in general are bad but i don't know if i want to get rid of them, but that's what it is. my dad broke it down for me once. back in the day if you wanted to get ahold of your friends you had to go to their house, and if they weren't home you had no way to get ahold of them or know where they were unless they left a note. you could try to call but not everyone had an answering machine so you would have to go out and literally drive around town looking for your friends at different places to see where they were all hanging out. this lead to a market for local bars to hire bands to play live music at their establishments so that people would congregate at their specific bar the logic being that if it was a good band all the women would be at that bar to hear the music so all the men would wind up there and then the people out looking for their friends would eventually wind up there. this created a market for local people to start their own bands so the bars would have people to hire and then their friends would come out, and the girls, and then the rest of the guys, and basically every town had a moderately bustling night life where all the adults in town would be out socializing and getting laid on the regular. eventually the bars made enough money that they could even get big name bands and the local bands would be able to go out on small independent tours across the country because the bars would hire traveling bands to mix it up a bit, which turned some locals into local legends and small town rock stars. separate from the music it also created a large market for local pool and dart tournaments, meat raffles, and etc. great bustling economies, and a strong social system that lead to white people coupling up. with smart phones everyone just plays on their phone and catches up with their friends via text and social media posts, and the women get laid via an app.
