And then people get all mad when companies want to record everything their employees do. Things like this are exactly why.

"I have become profoundly tired of being a therapist and a babysitter" Then don't be one. I'm a female manager and as soon as that shit starts I shut it down. People only get away with that crap because people tolerate i

I met Seth a few times and I remember one time he asked to go hiking in a fairly unsafe area when it was getting dark.

I always wondered about pre-approved AirBnBs, which based on the screenshot is what this one was. I usually don't pick them because I feel that if a host doesn't actively screen, that it's a very bad sign. And by actively scr

I can one up everyone. I lost weight on an almost all-fruit diet. And also weight on an almost all-meat diet. What they had in common was simple foods that satiated me and did not impel me to overeat. I've been part of diet communities

As long as you get the right amount of calories and nutrients, keto can be healthy long-term, as can veganism. People should chose the diet that works for them. The diet they like enough to follow. For me, keto naturally reduces calories. I

Personally, I eat a lower-carb diet of fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and other healthy foods most of the time. A few times a year I have a doughnut. Do I have an unhealthy diet because of that?

Perlmutter's stuff is way out of the left field. If you read the actual study, it does not support his conclusions. Interestingly, there are studies that show that a vegan grain-rich diet lowers hemoglobin A1C. So much for his made-up

I grew up in Georgia and my mother was too cheap for air conditioning. It doesn't even compare to the misery of riding the NYC subway in July.

I would personally very much not like that move. If we are fondling, it will get to the point where I'm touching the guy's dick without any sort of prodding on his part, unless he does something to turn me off like forcibly place

If closer than 100K is good enough (it is for me) than it's not that hard with freelancing. It's harder to find such a position as a job though, due to the stigma.

It is sad. This part stood out for me " I wasn’t demanded of much: maybe to keep my room clean and to help out around the house occasionally." Sometimes I wonder if there isn't a niche for someone to teach people like this how to live a lit

Maybe try finding matchmakers that seem a bit more diverse? Or something to convince me to trust them? The women on the front page look like they could have come from a sorority.

"I have no use for bulging biceps." For the past two years, I've relied on the fact that I walk a lot to take care of my exercise needs. But last year I started experiencing crippling neck and shoulder pain. A visit to the doctor and a refe

From the perspective of primate social structures, the "low power" poses are incredibly important. For a male chimpanzee who doesn't have the physical strength or social clout to defend himself, adopting a submissive posture in the presence

The ratings on Amazon for things like pots and pans are fine and useful. Books seem to be the main target for spamming.

You are looking for feminists to be outraged on Hacker News? Yes, a place known to attract many female users. Especially women that would encounter Lulu. Or not. I don't think this is something that my friends or I would ever encounter outs

OKCupid actually has a question that you could use to filter out non-Jewish people or people who want to date only Jewish people. But unfortunately it sounds like she decided it mattered only when the relationship was underway.

As the Amanda Blum piece pointed out, jokes like that are common among women as well. I would encourage people who are offended by booth babes to contact that company that hired them, rather than lobby for highly subjective code of conduct

Please show me the evidence that a non-PTSD woman's sense of risk is heightened if sex is mentioned. Fact is, a great many if not the majority of incidents of sexual assault involve alcohol. We should then I guess move to ban it from tech e

Gee, imagine that people come from different cultures where different behavior is considered acceptable. I imagine a lot of things that are considered bad in religious households are acceptable to other people.
