        It takes more balls to drive a small car when everyone else hides in their suvs

        I honestly can’t stand driving SUVs… Give me a small hatchback over an SUV any day.

        Oh, and I’m tall.

          6’1” (185 cm) here and I loved my VW GTI. I love my Jeep too but it’s a different kind of fun.

      Because idiots salivate any time something novel promises to confirm their biases.

      Yet another AI scam is never a bad idea if you want to get funds.

    How was it supposed to work? Was it supposed to scan received dick pics of anything gross because people do have eyes they could use…

    How will we ever figure out who has an STI without predictive A.I.? If only there were tests.

    I think this is a valuable app… Not the app itself, but an API that other dating apps could link to to allow you to filter out anyone with poor enough judgement to have sent photos of their crotch to his company.

    I have to admit It was a solid idea, though. Dick pics should be one of the best training sets you can find on the internet and you can assume that the most prolific senders are the ones with the lowest chance of having an STI (or any real-life sexual activity).
