No, actually surprisingly few things are "an event" in New York. Even stuff as major as the NYE Times Square Ball Drop are completely ignorable in most of the city if you turn off the TV. Earthquakes, though, are rare. And if you

Oh, I am completely with you, trust me. The past decade is only when the GOP has truly reached its apotheosis (I hope) of hate and stupidity. A popular black liberal President who refused to have a nice juicy scandal they could exploit thre

Maybe. But I actually think it's representative of a very deliberate attempt by the GOP to take gerrymandering to the next level. The GOP has become a vicious beast over the past decade. They are not fucking around when it comes to win

I wasn't in NYC for this, but it reminds me of two events I was in NYC for: The earthquake of 2011 and the aftermath of hurricane Sandy. During the earthquake many people fled their buildings, so we wound up at a kind of impromptu bloc

I think you're right: Alice has established from the start that it's a professional relationship. Continuing to flirt with her is inappropriate. There's no work-life balance element to this: Bob's welcomed to try to get

You should ask your female friends! In all seriousness. Maybe my basic advice is: Don't "proposition" people. Forget the phrase "hit on." Don't lead with your dick. Meet people. Learn about them. Establish rapp

Fun fact: You don't have the right to be creepy or predatory towards women just because alcohol is involved. Women have the right to go out for drinks with coworkers without being sexually harassed.

Let me address your #4: Expressing romantic attraction to someone can be fraught. One party or other usually has to make some sort of leap, and that leap has the potential to backfire. So. This is why adults learn how to do two things: - Th

Out of curiosity, do you use many pieces of software regularly that you last updated in 2007? Would you use IntelliJ 2007 for work today? I don't know: $3k for ten years of updates to a key tool I use for work -- that seems low. Like,
