I don't think terrorists use dating apps...

Although if we could get them laid and married off they probably wouldn't be terrorists anymore. Not really a family man career.

  Did you just implied that only men could be terrorists? I thought that terrorism was a gender include activity.

    Yeah, who are we kidding. It's almost exclusively men doing that. Like 95% or more.

      > Like 95% or more Interesting accuracy, I'm curious about the source. Fascinating topic in general. Here's a good starting point for more as well: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08974454.2019.1633612 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08974454.2019.1... Outlines a bunch of interesting factoids. If you look at "terrorism" more as a whole than just the people going and doing the bombings and similar, like the ones raising children, taking care of the villages and such, I think you'll find that they pretty much end up like any other society.

  Might work for US-based mass shooters and domestic terrorists. They tend to be broken, single/divorced men carrying out planned but unstructured acts of violence. For young men in countries where militias offer better paycheques and protection than the government can, I think you might have to come up with a more elaborate solution.

Why not? They use game chat, after all?

  I don't know why you're being downvoted (unless people think you are making a crass joke about toxic gamer communities), but the idea of terrorists using online game chat to communicate was at least taken seriously by the NSA: https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/172288-nsa-spied-on-xbox-live-and-world-of-warcraft-to-infiltrate-terrorist-groups https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/172288-nsa-spied-on-xbox...

It depends on how you define what a terrorist is.
