- sincerecook 2y agoIt's more like polite society has become less relevant. The pussy footing around and talking out of both sides of your mouth just doesn't work anymore.

- sincerecook 2y agoAre you sure that referring to an event from 8 years ago as an example of a much more common phenomenon is in good faith? Your second example doesn't specify exactly how large the gathering was, but from the context of the article it sounds like it was maybe a dozen people. What threshold are you using for "much more common"?
