   If flight attendants got everybody that they didn't like kicked off flights, it would seem[1] that there would be barely anyone flying. If I pay for a service and it isn't delivered there better be a damn good reason. A lie about me doing s

   I wonder how difficult it would be to lose the metal band and have it secured by only the ear. It would look much better in my opinion.

   I have no issue with quora wanting you to sign up to use their site but to allow their pages to be indexed by search engines and then hide content on those pages to humans unless they sign up (with their "real name') is ridiculous. With $61

   Well I guess it comes down to a matter of opinion with regards to the scale of sexism and what is actually happening. I am sure you will argue otherwise and that what you, kludolph and halostatue claim is happening is actually happening. Ha

   Now, imagine being a man. Imagine growing up with TV cartoons grooming you to become a superhero, a movie star, if you failed at that, an office worker. Imagine getting only a certain kind of gifts for birthday, in certain colors. Imagine

   I am not sure if I am reading the same essay as you. All it is, is an analogy comparing life to a video game. He claims that being a white heterosexual male makes everything in life easier in the same way that choosing the easy difficulty s

    Yes, I understand the essay (and disagree with it) my comment however, was not on the essay but on your post. You replied " Always appropriate: " with a link to the essay in reply to klodolph. I assume that you were replying to this part of

    I find this very interesting. What is the best way to find the sweet spot? Am I right in thinking that the more you charge for a service, the higher the cost of support for that customer will be and this can be difficult when scaling. i.e.

    Surely the whole point of lowering prices is to reduce cost of acquisition as well as churn. Where is this in your example?

    Surely an easy way to avoid this is to limit the number of clicks you can have over a period of time or you have a list of 5 people you would like to bang. You can add/remove people from that list. If you you are both on each other's list

    My post was kind of off topic actually. The point was that it is frustrating that this kind of thing is seen as an issue but sexism against men is ignored or claimed not to exist and if you do bring it up, you are labeled as a misogynist. R
