Do most people meet on apps to have casual sex or are they looking for a romantic relationship and sex is part of the dating process? I believe sex is an integral part of getting to know someone and determining long term relationship viabil

Then how is it San Francisco public schools are vastly underfunded? Teachers can't live anywhere near their school districts and get by on a single job. 20% of school budget comes from property taxes in California. I wonder how much it

I grew up in Germany and went to public schools there. I just recently became a homeowner in Seattle. I have no ties to the local schools here and would much prefer everyone got equal opportunities and education. I'd like to see people

Even shorter term I'd like us to move away from local property taxes being used for local schools. The state government should have a statewide pool of money they allocate to schools based on enrollment numbers, cost of living. This sh

Doubtful and she works with a MD. I have many friends in the medical field. This MD vs NP hatred needs to stop. NPs can be specialized and have great knowledge and experience in their particular field. And my NP visit is cheaper - absolutel

Didn't see that. Yikes. What if the tracking system were a government website and the guest only needs to show confirmation to the waiter / waitress? Would that make things better or worse? Generally curious what people think.

Kakao has a separate app for everything. Quite different from WeChat. KakaoTalk, KakaoTaxi, KakaoPay etc etc I wouldn't say that those are all extremely well integrated with each other.
