How will Singapore’s government-run dating service work? And will it solve the incel problem?

Looking through the 30+ questions in the matchmaking questionnaire does not fill me with confidence: https://t.co/YXiCKbiPls

I CALLED IT.

It's happening y'all. The singapore gov has launched a pilot programme for a gov-run dating service. Looks like the pilot is currently restricted to just government workers for now.

Valeriy: Fort Fulguration
Commander of the Special Assignments Battalion
#GenshinImpact #Valeriy

The Armory Palace is a vast research, design, and production complex within Glupov. As Snezhnaya's foremost research institution, it has developed numerous cutting-edge technologies and many of the weapons that form the backbone of the snowbound nation's military. The secrets and valuable assets in its keeping are beyond counting.
To protect the Armory Palace and its personnel, elite troops from the 1st Grenadier Regiment were reorganized into the Special Assignments Battalion, serving as the institution's dedicated guard under the command of Major Valeriy.
His service record is particularly distinguished. He has led his troops in wiping out six concentrations of monsters linked to Ley Line disturbances, crushing three vicious Volkodlak gangs, and eliminating more than eighty percent of the rampaging chimeric monsters west of Snezhnograd...
He also schedules the entire battalion's duties with unfailing precision, day after day, year after year... all without an adjutant's assistance.
With an expert in both combat and administration commanding their guard, the Armory Palace's specialists can devote themselves to research and production with complete peace of mind.
Indeed, since the Special Assignments Battalion took up its post, Major Valeriy and his troops have neutralized more than ninety threats of every description, including surviving bandits plotting to steal the Armory Palace's secrets and outlaws attempting to abduct its researchers.
In recent years, however, military observers have noted something surprising: Major Valeriy has become a frequent visitor to the Korolevskiy Theater and Podvorye Restaurant, among other entertainment venues...
Major Valeriy declines to comment on any of the speculation. He continues to let his impeccable time management and faultless organization at work speak for themselves.
People are not machines, of course. They cannot be expected to run like clockwork, keeping to a rigid schedule every moment of the day. But sound scheduling is a safeguard. When the unexpected disrupts a plan, it provides the room to adapt and the confidence to do so.
There will always be work that calls for contingency plans, and deadlines that simply cannot be missed.
And someone must always bear the strain, keep a constant eye on the schedule, and head off delays and mishaps.

"Oh, that officer? Don't go thinking all he does is chase me around announcing the time and nagging me to get back to work. If anyone threatens the Armory Palace's projects or researchers, you'll get to witness a terrifying sight: 'a fortress going on the offensive and rolling right over people.'"

"Research differs from production — efficiency is not the gold standard. I have worked alongside many gifted individuals, and I know well that talent and eccentricity tend to go hand in hand. But the one thing that never disappoints is the 'answers' they provide."

Experts tend to be remarkably efficient, capable of producing astonishing results in very little time. Yet for them, "attendance requirements" designed around the pace of the average researcher amount to a cage.
Whiling away the hours would be easy enough. But the world has so much more to offer, and wouldn't it be a shame to miss out on all that color?
And so, the energy expert who ought to be buried in important work can often be found wandering the streets of Snezhnograd, enjoying the leisure his talent has bought him.
Sometimes he catches the Korolevskiy Troupe's latest production, and sometimes he shares a table with a stranger at Podvorye Restaurant, and sometimes, on a fine sunny day, he gives his scarf, that dear companion of his, a wash and hangs it out to dry...
People expect a researcher to devote himself to his work, or at the very least, not neglect his duties. But he would argue: how can someone who takes no joy in life hope to do good work?
To borrow a seafaring analogy, meticulous reasoning is like drawing an accurate sea chart, while a flash of inspiration is when a new continent suddenly comes into view through a spyglass. Clearly, the latter is the greater achievement, and a far more exhilarating one.
And so he sets out everything he finds "unreasonable" in letters, proposals, and leave requests, appends them to the last page of his research reports, and submits the lot in the hope of catching his superiors' attention.
Eventually, he got his wish. His increasingly cavalier approach to his schedule, coupled with his habit of taking it upon himself to rewrite absence reports as further arguments in his own defense, earned him the assistance of a major who took time management very seriously indeed. Congratulations were in order.

Bose has made its return to wired earbuds with a new $99 pair that includes active noise cancellation, something most wired buds lack.

Unlike the company’s older models, these connect via USB-C.

University debate, "Were humans built to eat meat?", same two chairs, same clock.

Vegan: "Anatomically we're closer to the gorilla than the lion. Flat molars, long gut. A gentle plant-eater with delusions."

Paleoanthropologist: "Then explain the acid."

Vegan: "Which acid?"

Paleoanthropologist: "Your stomach runs at a pH of about 1.5. A lion's sits nearer 3.6. Yours is stronger than the animal you've just been contrasted with, by a factor of about a hundred."

Vegan: "Stomach acid digests food."

Paleoanthropologist: "A cow's rumen sits at about 6.5. That's a compost heap with a pulse. Yours strips the zinc off a coin. Why would a gentle plant-eater carry that?"

Vegan: "Protection."

Paleoanthropologist: "From what? Lettuce doesn't fight back."

Vegan: "Bacteria."

Paleoanthropologist: "Which bacteria live in a leaf at a level that needs a pH of 1.5? Name the salad."

Vegan: "..."

Paleoanthropologist: "The animals that run acid as low as ours are the scavengers. Vultures. Things that arrive at a carcass on the second day and need to kill what's already living in it. We're not built like the lion. We're built like the bird that waits for the lion to finish."

Vegan: "Flattering."

Paleoanthropologist: "It's a picture of a species with a rock, a sharp flake and no claws. You don't get the fresh kill. You get the femur nobody could open, forty hours late, and you'd better have the acid for it."

Vegan: "Acid that strong is dangerous. Look how many people are on tablets for it."

Paleoanthropologist: "The only animal on earth that pays to switch its stomach off. You've spent sixty years pouring cereal onto a carcass digester and now you're medicating the digester for doing its job."

Vegan: "So your argument is that we're vultures."

Paleoanthropologist: "My argument is a number. Yours is a feeling about gorillas. The gorilla eats for most of the day and its gut is a fermentation tank. Yours is done in a few hours and runs on acid. One of you is designed for leaves."

Moderator: "Thirty seconds."

Paleoanthropologist: "She can keep them. I'm still waiting on the salad."
