Go back and watch the old MCI amd AT&T ads from the early 90s at the dawn of the web. They had an optimism that feels false coming from Apple & Google & all the others now. We know better now that they're interested in mone

That headline probably should be rephrased as "X percentage of parents have estranged at least one of their kids". As far as I know, the estrangement is often protective and boundary-maintaining (i.e. a healthy action).

Jesse Singal is another biased reporter on trans issues. Maybe cis people should trust trans people to know what we need rather than undermining us from an outsider perspective that has no understanding. You're defending these two peop

I'm guessing dynamic pricing wouldn't give more money to the employees who have to work harder during busy periods. They're the limited resource not the food.

Pretty sure it didn't go wrong. The organizer got people's money on the cheap and that was the intention all along. It's pretty much the (im)moral of the 21st century.

It's not a sexual identity. It's a relationship structure. Poly folks can be in mono relationships and vice-versa. I agree that being up front about the kind of relationship structure is desired would help weed out incompatibility
