Grandparents killed in wrong-way crash on Hwy. 401 identified
A 60-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman killed in a wrong-way crash on Highway 401 earlier this week have been identified by the Consulate General of India in Toronto.
“No democrats!” multiple women say when asked what they're looking for in an advertisement for the Right Stuff, a dating app for conservatives backed by PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, which launched in the U.S. last week.
Users will be able to “connect with people who aren’t offended by everything,” and may “view profiles without pronouns,” according to the app’s website.
The Right Stuff quickly became the butt of many jokes and mockery on Twitter.
There are many reasons for this, including: it was co-founded by former Trump administration official, John McEntee, as reported by The Hill; the app’s spokesperson is Ryann McEnany, younger sister of former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany; and billionaire Peter Thiel, a known Trump supporter, has invested US$1.5 million in the venture. The app’s advertisements have also gained popularity for being unintentionally funny.
“The Right Stuff is all about getting into the right dating pool with people who share the same values as you,” McEnany said in the announcement video posted on the app’s Twitter page.
“We’re sorry that you’ve had to endure years of bad dates and wasted time with people who don’t see the world our way. The right way.”
According to the promotional video, the Right Stuff is a free app, but access is restricted to those who have received an invitation. Additionally, by inviting other users to the app, female members of the Right Stuff can obtain a premium subscription service.
However, McEnany noted that the app would only offer the gender identity options "male" and "female," meaning anyone who identifies with a different gender would not be welcome.
The app is currently only available in the U.S. with no announcement made yet about an expansion to other countries.
According to a Twitter post that has been retweeted more than 1,000 times, one of the prompts on the app is “Where were you on Jan. 6th?”
There are also messages on social media suggesting that many users who answered about their whereabouts on that day last year, now known for when the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., was stormed by several Trump supporters, were contacted by the FBI afterwards.
The company has not publicly commented about the allegations and didn’t immediately respond to CTV News for a comment on them.
So far, the app’s reviews on the App Store have been weak, already amassing a score of only 2.1 stars.
“It's a good app but there are no women?” one user wrote. “The interface was intuitive and easy to use. But the weird thing is, I couldn't find any women on it. I tried switching my preference to men (just to make sure it was working) and loads of handsome men came up.”
“I hope the developers fix this.”
