> I never use Facetime Do you ever video chat with friends or family? In my experience this is almost entirely over FaceTime, though zoom had its moment there during the lockdown.

OkCupid used to be the best because they actually tried to match you up on common interests and relevant dating questions. Last I heard that had been ripped out and it was just another tinder clone emphasizing photos and swiping. Should be

With all do respect, why are you commenting here rather than replying to the person giving your comment context?

If I were you I would start with trying to understand the other person first.

Sure, absolutely. They must be popular in some demographic if they consistently come up this much.

Instacart's markup is insane, it's like DoorDash levels of extraction for some hitherto unexplained value they allege to provide.
