    Well the second part could be easily achievable with a search function rather than a filter function bc that is “filtering out” rather than seeking

    Good point on the first one, but like you said sadly it’s definitely mostly racist white people using it

    Honestly out of the ones I have used I don’t think I have seen any that give ethnicity as a filter, I’m sure it exists on some but doesn’t seem like the majority

    I realize I am the old man yelling cliche here because dating apps came way after my time, but I feel like the idea of filtering people out by race or ethnicity should be a no go in any situation. I feel like that idea should have been voted down in the meetings about this stuff, even though I can completely understand why it was brought up as an idea, as Jesse West pointed out. Is it that hard for people to just scroll by the people they don't like...???

    Why, it’s almost as the gay community has a really bad problem with racism or something

    it's very confusing, I like Krystal but she's complicit in giving Sagaar a platform who is absolute dogshit

    Like many YouTube leftists for whatever reason, Krystal doesn’t seem to really have much of a coherent ideology, from what I’ve seen

    I know it's an option on plenty of Fish, Okcupid, hinge and a few others too.

    That’s the problem with shows that try to give both sides a voice unfortunately. The bar is so low for news shows I still think it’s one of the better ones, but I wish Ball would pushback harder on his BS.

    On dating apps, isn't it easy enough to just swipe left for people you aren't interested in? Do you really need a filter for that? Same thing with trans folks. Why make anyone feel like they are being alienated?

    Were there any updates on the person who had tear gas thrown in their home after letting 100 people take shelter? That's really been weighing on my mind since last night

    Stepped outside and directly in front of my apartment building were 6 empty cta buses and a few national guard hummers. Guess my street is being used as some sort of staging area.

    Biden's is a pretty damn bad plan, but fuck, at least he wants to try something other than gunning them down. Fuck Trump.
