That's about the farthest explanation from "mostly positive" you can get without admitting to physical pain. It sounds more like you learned how to navigate in an apathetic and disconnected bartering economy. "City life

I agree with you that attraction is a multi-dimensional process which is very poorly captured by online dating. What I am trying to explain is mine and others' observations that men who don't succeed at present-day online dating ,

It is quite bizarre that any criticism of modern sexual economics is immediately met with "ha, bet you're not getting any!" I have become convinced that these people do not have a great deal of insight into the true private l

I see. I was misinterpreting the parent comment. The general point here is that Carter could have been Clinton had he desired to, but he did not.

Ah, I understand. That's an interesting point you make. I am inclined to agree with you. It would have a similar reality-distorting effect; Carter influenced one women, Clinton influenced many.

You just mentioned two of the most powerful and charismatic men in history. Can you elaborate on the comparison?

Everyone with a sex drive wants sex, but they want it from the right person. The heuristics surrounding the "right person" selection process have been destroyed. The women I know who have retreated from dating have almost unanimou

It is an absolute nightmare and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Modern "dating" is frightening, dehumanizing, demoralizing, ahistorical, amoral, and devoid of meaning.

Modern casual sexual encounters are assessed purely on subjective ratings of the opposite party's sexual attractiveness (secondary sexual characteristics, behavior, social status, etc.). Furthermore, constant saturation into the full r

Out of curiosity, do you do much creative writing? I agree that the second version is clearer and more grammatically sensible, but the first version bends the normal usage of syntax to evoke emotion, although a word here or there could be a

Huh, I thought your first example was much more poetic. The vaguely run-on sentence does a much better job of evoking what's happening in the scene.

Most of the teachers I've had in the past have been fine; the ones I worked the hardest for and still remember to this day were the ones that refused to admit subpar work and rarely meted out praise.

Another commenter already identified the meat of the problem; you were restricted access to computers, whereas your children are not. Here is an article about that exact conundrum, on the concept of "antagonistic learning": https

Great comment. Complaining about the "colonization" of education is a waste of time when "education" itself is a farcical treadmill of wasted time and indoctrination. A friend and I were chatting about the argument about

That works for completion status, but I don't think it works for task failure notification. Do you know of any clever way that reliably informs the user whether or not the process is frozen?

As another commenter pointed out, static "processing" messages are indistinguishable from "your system is hung". I think the best option is simply X/Y bytes downloaded, like Blizzard does on WoW patches. The fractio

Correct. Google products used to be free, and noticeably better than the competition. Now they're just free.

The parent comment that you responded to: "... Oversized stations are even more problematic when you consider that the MTA wants to build all of these by mining rather than using cut-and-cover, because cut-and-cover has too much disrup

What are the costs involved in "retrofitting via cut-and-cover" as opposed to "building more capacity by mining" that makes the second option more palatable for the 100-year timeline?

Who deleted your response to ZeteticElench? You, or the mods? Usually when they delete something, they include a comment that says "this comment was deleted because it violates our community standards" or whatever.

Thanks. Personally, I think that access to raw, unedited videos (that more often than not do exist these days) would clear up the majority of modern political controversies. Often, either the truth becomes clear, or the video disqualifies i

I didn't mention it in the original comment because I didn't want the heat, but the Covington event was actually the exact event I was thinking of. By the time I saw the fully unedited raw videos of the guy and the kid, I'd a
