But they may see this as closure even if you don’t, and there’s an obvious reason why (although may not, in fact, be their reason). Domestic abuse is something most families hide, even if “everyone” guesses. At home, victims often walk on eggshells, trying to avoid any word or action that may trigger “drama.” They’re…

Why is everyone missing the part where the blog suggests doing this for men, too? Obviously individual men wouldn’t need to on their LinkedIn profiles, but the author did specifically mention, if you’re a founder trying to get funding, use initials for your staff, both men and women. I genuinely came away feeling that…

Oh, I don’t know. Yes, it’s deeply problematic to put the burden on the marginalized group. Yes, there’s plenty of bullshit in the article--as the hilarious translations show. Yes, it’s hypocritical given the writer’s own funding profile and sex.

Because we don’t. I have lived all my life in the US and known as long as I can remember that honey doesn’t spoil and that crystalization is no big. You just toss it inthe microwave if you want it gooey again.

I regret it sometimes. Like everytime I think of the MTA.

Sure, I like Uber just fine. I like Uber the same way I like Walgreens. It provides a service that I find useful. I’m not super passionate about my adoration for Uber.

You seem to continuously recast my disagreements as misunderstanding law or policy. I understand them, I don’t agree with them. For example, I said, “it’d probably fall to the whole ‘private property, private rules’ thing” (which incidentally has nothing to do with it being an employer or not). That is precedent and…

I lean toward the idea that it Uber might need more regulation, but I agree with you about transparency and about this. I’ve used Uber off and on for about a year and a half when I need a quick ride or a late one. But I don’t always use Uber at those times: sometimes I’ll hail cabs as they pass, or use the Uber app to…

You’re mistaken about Lyft. They have the same business model. Slightly different branding, but in all essentials are the same as Uber. And they are in the news, too. When I first moved to SF there was a huge uproar about Lyft, because of a driver who attacked a passenger, and another who had somehow gotten a…

You’re jumping all over the place and conflating a lot of things, which makes your response hard to process and respond to.

I didn’t wanna be a jerk, but I wanted to ask that. Was this a study that based on what the individuals reported? I generally do believe that online harassment is a problem, and that the harassment of women is potentially its own specific problem with gendered aspects. However, if it’s self-reported, that is…

Not that I’m thrilled with these shenanigans, but I take Uber all the time, and have for nearly two years. Sometimes multiple times a day. Often I take Uber alone at 2am. I haven’t been sexually assaulted or raped once. I haven’t even been verbally harassed.

Do you seriously think I never went to school or something?

So, let’s see. You’re a teacher. You own a mobile phone, as most people do these days. It serves multiple purposes for you: it is your personal phone, but because your job is a part of your life, you also check work e-mail on it and such. It’s indispensable in your everyday life, but you don’t bring it to work with…

I really wanted to rant my heart out at this,

Oh, Christ. I wandered in here and this was the only visible comment. For a second I thought there were no others, and I thought, “Well, why bother, that’s pure gold.”

Yeah, I hear that constantly. So surprised how smart you are. So surprised how articulate you are. So surprised you’re actually a coder and not a marketer.

> The objectivity of ignorance is so empowering.

Except that the cases that are going to be best documented and most conclusive (and therefore best choices for exposes due to the fact that not only are they responsible choices due to being verifiable, but also because they’re least likely to be hand-waved away) are going to be the ones that were best handled. The…
