I wouldn't know, I incompletely skipped Bluray. (I was gifted a single disc, but have nothing to play it on)

TBF originally it was also a pain in the butt to play a DVD on a PC.

You're reading far more into OP's story than I certainly did.

Oh yeah. Absolutely. For sure. It doesn't matter what he was expecting once it was made clear by OP that it wasn't on the table, but it's also pretty reasonable to assume that the other guy went in there with completely different expectations.

Sorry for your bad experience but I don't really know what you expected from meeting someone off of Grindr; it's a hookup app. The guy you met was probably expecting to get laid not develop a relationship (although maybe that might happen in the future) and would have almost certainly thought you were looking for the same.
Probably try Tinder if that's what you're after or make sure your profile explicitly states that you want to take things slow and that going back to a guys place the first time you meet isn't what you're looking for. This will eliminate any misconception that you're using that app in particular in a way that 99.96% of its users do.

Presumably they would make living on a generational ship reasonably comfortable before they'd be asking anyone to get on one knowing they'd be committing themselves and their descendants to a lifetime of living on board.

Surely the FTL ship could and would rendezvous with the generation ship along their journey and at least give them the option or technology to join them.

Is the hallway carpeted? If so you might be able to lift the edge of the carpet and place the cable between the skirting board and the tacking board that holds the carpet in place.

At some point after he'll be replaced by Sandi Toksvig and it will be better.
