Hmm, seems to me the more reasonable ask would be for people to play solid general defense rather than to cut out specific "evil companies". Use a decent piece of anti-tracking software. Be thoughtful about what data they give out when signing up for services.

Versus telling people to avoid CBS, which likely comes off a wee bit conspiracy-sounding to the layman.

No red flags here. Looks good.

Sure, it's "ok" in that I don't think you should go to jail for it.

But you need to be "ok" with the consequences. Like how many people would be turned off by your language and would not want to associate with you. Who would judge you as a high-drama person to avoid (this is where I am personally, given your description of using a slur to try to bait someone into trouble). And people like school administrators who would remove you for breaking their specific rules on speech (or mods on a forum). And the employer who would fire you for using what is generally seen as unprofessional language.

Static Shock

Be very skeptical of any "rules" of first dates. This one is definitely bunk.

Lots of people don't drink.

Lots of people don't like bars.

Lots of people think dinner/drinks where there is nothing to do but chat is an awful first date. (Hello, this one is me 100%).

Lots of people are conscientious of drinking on a first date with a person they don't know as a safety measure. (Hello, me again).

Throw in religious/cultural/medical needs on drinking and this "rule" falls apart even faster.

Depends on context of the conversation. Could mean something like City Museum in St. Louis, Missouri or it could mean a sex thing.

Curious if anyone on here has had zero negative interactions. I don't know if that's possible.

If any negative interactions stresses you out, OP, a forum-style community like this might not be for you. Or maybe you would be happier on an instance that disables downvotes; there are a few of them out there.

I've been very pleased with your performance since joining the family 30 seconds ago. How would you feel about joining our management training program? Double the work for 10% more pay. I'm so proud. Can I call you son?

Hired!

Cooked or uncooked? Either way, you seem like a good fit for the team.

His math and logic works are a good read. The Game of Logic (1886) for one.

I mean, sure, if you don't want to try any other answer to help convince them to hire you out of all the other applicants.

They're not asking "why do you want a job" they're asking "why do you want this job".

As in, out of all the jobs that will pay you money, why do you want this one in particular?

There are other points during an interview process to lay out your pay expectations.

Pretty sure the real answer is Alice; the gays took over the fandom because Kristen Stewart. So Christians and Muslims should defer to ... Wiccans?

Even people with textbook "consistent" menstrual cycles vary by 3-5 days. People with "inconsistent" cycles vary by weeks or even months. Tracking helps anyone on that spectrum.

I'm towards the more consistent end of the spectrum, but I still use a calendar reminder because my cycle is not a perfect calendar month long so it's not as easy as "my period will start around the 5th of every month". I want to ensure I'm prepared (mentally and with menstruation products) before it starts. Doubly so because I travel for work a fair bit and need to pack for it.

And yes, I moved away from a cloud-based app to a local-only tracker over privacy concerns.

Rowing club coach at a university I was interested in told me I was too short to bother trying out but if I dropped all muscle to squeak under 120 lbs I could try for coxswain.

Jokes on them, rowing generally requires waking up before the ass crack of dawn which was not conducive to my preferred college experience. I found rugby, which has way broader allowance for body type and no sunrise torture sessions.

This feels a bit like PTA-driven panic about kids eating Tide Pods when like one person did it. Or razor blades in Halloween candy. Or kids making toilet hooch with their juice boxes. Or the choking game sweeping playgrounds.

But also, man on internet with no sense of mental health ... sounds almost feasible.

The Venn diagram of men who name their boys jr, III, IV, etc and the men who really care that their child has a penis is not a perfect circle but does overlap a lot IME. Gives "boys carry on my blood, girls are accessories" vibes.

Don't make phone calls on speaker when in public. Not even if you hold it up to your ear.

They don't believe in either so the Dilemma is not a dilemma for them.
