As a teenager, I used to feel embarrassed that I had no interest in dating to begin with.

Nowadays, I'm pretty thankful. Feel like I dodged a bullet, not wanting to date anyone, given the market is saturated with people like this, and vain people who don't have any interests besides sending me "streaks" and getting mad when I ignore it.

Yes, and that's all I smell when walking into the dating world.

Unsure as to what to do about the white population thing though, that's the main gripe I have thus far. Do I self-sacrifice and marry someone I don't care about to further the white race with my own seed, or work on becoming wealthy so I can help groups of people organize against leftist tyranny, and help financially support white only couples who actually want kids?

These are the two options, and I lean towards the latter. As long as more kids are in the picture, I've done good enough.

All the cool people are building homesteads in Alaska, let's just start over there. Invite handpicked couples and give them fulfilling jobs, who'd stop us in near bumfuck nowhere land?

The only 'streaks' I get are in my underpants :(

... streaks?

[–] 2 pts

A snapchat thing that a lot of young people do. Basically, every day that picture messages are sent to, and received from a user, their daily streak builds up.

Basically, people send random pictures (selfies, sometimes just black), and caption it streaks. If you reply with another picture message, your daily streak goes up. For some people, this is a very important factor of their lives. For normal people, it doesn't matter.

Ah right. I was 'dating' a girl who claimed to really like me but didn't want to see me because she was too fucked up.

But she was super interested in keeping that streak going. Really weird shit..

Here’s a less emotional explanation:

A streak just means daily communication on Snapchat. Like if we had a counter here that said “you’ve made a post every day for the past 18 days on poal” except it’s for a specific person on Snapchat (which is just a messaging app)

It has 2 purposes. One is to keep people using the app every day. The other I’d for the app’s users - like any social connection irl, you have to reach out regularly to the other person or you will drift apart. Streaks encourage that behavior, and also help you identify those who see you as a priority. I consider it a pro-social feature and you can absolutely use it to strengthen relationships you have with people who you actually see in person. Depending on your age it’s expected and fairly mundane, just like communicating via email or slack is expected for most work environments.
