So, why does a dating website show ads to other dating websites?
-
I have no explanation, but it’s got potential as a wicked plot bunny…
-
A dating site leads to a dating site to a dating site. Some char goes so far down the rabbit hole that they end up in an alternate reality that’s just one big dating site. Like those 90s movies about video games… Brainscan? Pretty sure there was an ‘Are You Afraid of the Dark’ episode like that. Maybe even Goosebumps.
BW said plotbunny – of course, I immediately went to horror references. What, there are other kinds of stories? Psssh.
-
Maybe people who use dating websites usually sign up for more than one, so any business a site loses to the competition is made up for by ad revenue.
Or maybe nobody's paying attention at corporate HQ.

Overcoming Negativity: Advice and Thoughts?
Desiderius Price replied to Tcr's topic in Writers' Corner
True, apathy’s not positive either. I’ve been recording raw hits, so normally that helps, but I was seeing the hits-between-chapters die off, so that’s where the negativity really started to kick in. However, some people have observed a taper off during summer, and that’s likely the case, just ignoring it is easier said than done. And finish that chapter so you can mark it as “Complete” -
Overcoming Negativity: Advice and Thoughts?
Desiderius Price replied to Tcr's topic in Writers' Corner
I’ve been active on this thread because I do have a tough time overcoming negativity, especially silence. Last week, it got to me, and so I didn’t post my chapter because I just didn’t feel like it. Instead, I decided to wait a week to do so, and was over it just enough yesterday to do the post. Now, my stories are nearly a full set of warning tags, so intellectually, I know that many potential readers will move on, however, when that dragon print counter barely budges, it still affects me. -
Just test drove the new battery to my hybrid on a long trip. Got 52mpg instead of the typical 40mpg!

I’ve got the 2003 honda civic… manual transmission! (It’s really fun to drive.) Since bought it used in 2006, I’m not 100% certain that it was the original battery, but most likely was.
-
Oops—I just assumed it was a Prius. I didn’t even know they made a Civic hybrid back in 2003. And I didn’t know there were ANY hybrids with a manual transmission. *”The More You Know” rainbow appears*

I thought the same thing when I first heard about it from the salesman. But yeah, some civic hybrids were manuals. (Not certain if any still are.) And so it’s got the advantages of a manual including being able to compression start it (ie, get it moving and pop the clutch, downhill preferred), and the security in knowing that some of the younger thieves won’t know how to operate the thing.
