If you have the ears down, you aren't a manly man who is manly. Some ushankas don't actually have the flap down, even thought Russia has like -30 winters, because fuck not being manly.

I have a very fluffy ushanka that my mother in law gave me, and I wear it with the ears totally down. Everybody laughs at me whenever they see me wearing it. Or with me. But they definitely laugh. And that at least makes my day better.
Out of curiosity I sent out my first Tinder message and got a reply. I really don't know what the cultural expectations are with Tinder or what the rhythm of messaging should feel like. It feels strange. Anybody care to offer a testimonial?
I don't know why that image is in this thread but I love it.
CML that is one of your finest works.
Uh... maybe don't stare at Garruk's arm for too long, otherwise those veins may start to seem unseemly.
I am incapable of sending opening Tinder messages that aren't ridiculous. But they all get responded to. Service is mildly ridiculous. So far I've met one person from it, and it was someone I'd already been casually seeing from OkCupid, I swiped her to the right and a couple minutes later I was shaving and putting on my coat to head out into the cold night air. I don't imagine that's the standard use case.
I went on a blind date a friend set up last night, and apparently it was board game night at the cafe she's a regular at so we went there and played Cards Against Humanity with a big group.
It was my turn to judge, and the category was "______ will always get you laid." I flip through the answers.
"Doin' it in the butt... will always get you laid."
"Altar boys... will always get you laid."
"Roofies... will always get you laid."
Turn to my date. "Hey, do you need another drink?"
The table erupted into laughter and agreed that I should win my own point. I normally don't advocate making date rape jokes on a first date in front of a bunch of her friends, but she asked me out on a second date at the end of the night so...

Oh man I love cards against humanity. My favorite was Q:What's kid tested, mother approved? A: An Oedipus complex. There was one time my gay friend James asked "what's the cure for my illness?" or something like that. I handed him, with great reservation, "praying the gay away".
We should get a design thread going so we can all expand our Cards Against Humanity pools. Nah.

One of the categories was: "The next superhero duo: _____ and _____"
I put "Robert Downey Jr." and "crippling debt", but the judge totally didn't get it and I felt mildly indignant.

Some girl with a new and sparse profile just sent me a link to an Arrested Development video. Somebody must have told her the fastest way to unlock my heart.
I just got this (possibly platonic) date-agreement message.
On one condition though - leave the rohypnol at home
*swoon*

I'm worse at spelling than I thought

So, I have my first Tinder date tonight, but I think I'm mostly doing it so that it will improve my inevitable app review article.
