Can only hope they'll get flayed in court, but I sort of doubt it.

"Underrated" and "awesome" tend to just... mean roughly the same thing in this context, and it's so individual it's hopeless to try to recommend stuff based on that alone. Popularity or unpopularity doesn't necessarily speak to how much you'll like it, either.

Recommendations are easier to give the better you know your tastes, and the better you can describe them.

You can also do some thinking about what you like and why, and see how others describe that song/album/artist/whatever to get some useful starting points. If you want to nerd out, Wikipedia and the like can tell you a lot about musical influences that shaped this or that style, and you can track it down and see if it resonates with you.

As they say, you're not a train or plane, you don't need to announce your departure. I do completely get your complaint about the negativity here, though, it's... a lot. Wanting some distance from that because it's a bummer is perfectly reasonable.

Best of luck in the future.

... OK, but seriously, what the fuck is it? Marketingspeke is cool (apparently), I get it, but what does it literally do?

The solution is: don't go on Tinder. If it tried to be even remotely good at its ostensible job, it would put itself out of business. It's all "Match Group" or some shit, they own a lot of the "brands" on the dating market.

I assumed someone plastered three different reddit things over it as a bit.

In Europe you can drive around a roundabout ~~for 13 hours~~ the American mind can not comprehend this.

"Finally"? Barf.

Lee-bruh. I don't really see a problem.

Whatever works, of course. I'm not trying to go all hipster, I just think it's sort of pleasant work with the whetstone, and having crazy sharp knives is weirdly satisfying.

All you need is a bulldozer and a cement truck.

Small set of whetstones so I can keep my kitchen knives absurdly sharp. Sharp vs "meh" vs dull knives make a huge difference in speed, comfort and safety. I've scuffed my knives a bit getting into things, but at least they're sharp as hell and touching them up only takes a few minutes.

Also it's hardly unconventional, but a quick read thermometer (fold-out type) is almost a must.
