Yeah, initially I was going to go with "Airport Exchange" but that domain was taken - this one was available and fairly straightforward without being too long. Thanks for the input!

Yeah!

This was also kind of built out of the idea of my people on smaller (like small towns) Facebook groups asking for rides to the airport, rides to the doctors, etc, etc.

I'm just not sure how the userbases will discover this but that's one of the things to figure out!

I miss the days of going over to neighbors houses, ringing the doorbell and seeing if people wanted to do stuff.

That, or college just walking around dorms to find stuff going on.

While I generally agree with this sentiment - it's pretty hard to maintain friendships and relationships where both parties don't talk because they're both waiting to be spontaneous.

I don't "book/plan" things with friends, but it makes a massive difference to consistently reach out and nurture friendships.

The way you're describing meeting people seems fun, but half the time folks are busy with life or other stuff to be spontaneous.

I work from home, live far away from family, and sometimes the only social interaction I get each day is getting marketing text messages from HelloFresh. I then can take the time to go speak to my local barista for ~30 seconds and buy a drink.

I guess it depends what lens you are looking through. Most people on TikTok would happily give their SSN, DOB, and any data over to a company to watch videos, make money on silly shit that happens on TikTok.

Other folks think TikTok is legitimately a news source and the government is keeping things from them.

Maybe I'm too old, but I DO NOT understand the TikTok livestreams of people sleeping, obvious pre-recorded video, etc...and people sending gifts constantly.

The "creator fund" incentivized just posting a lot, sharing, and once Tiktok shop was introduced almost every other video is someone talking about "Tiktok shop made a mistake on pricing buy this item". Shills all of them. I don't think being a "creator" on TikTok should be a "job" for people.

A lot of folks on TikTok have been speculating that Meta/Musk/etc might become owners in some way. Shou, the TikTok CEO - apparently updated his bio to not include "TikTok CEO" post-blackout.

I personally, feel that it's quite a reach for the government to ban social apps such as TikTok. It's pretty much just become endless posts of people trying to make a living off of commission/sales/views. Something will obviously replace it if it does get banned (much like Vine), but "creator culture" is just depressing.

Maybe I haven't had enough coffee today, but what does "IC" stand for?

Do you have any tips/advice for someone who feels slightly stuck in an industry/tech stack? Ideally I want to switch jobs at some point away from what I've been doing, but don't have the ability to gain experience with language 'x' in a "professional" setting.

Due to this, I find it challenging to apply (or even consider applying) to positions that I find really interesting.

At least for me when friendships/relationships become transactional it loses a lot of the value. This method of staying in touch feels _very_ transactional, and I just imagine sending some random person you spoke to a few times in high school/university a message every 6 months - 1 year.

Some people aren't meant to be in your life forever, and that's okay! However, there the people you choose to make time for will stick around.
