If you read the Ello manifesto, the founders make it pretty clear that they'd shut the site down before they'd show ads. So unless they're big fat liars (not impossible in the tech community, I'll admit), I wouldn't worry about it too much. They're going for a freemium model instead: they want the customers to be

ITT: Nearly everyone missing the point.

I will not watch this episode. Ever. A decision I made long before I heard about any rape joke. Watching this episode would retroactively ruin every episode of The Simpsons I've ever seen, and I'm not havin' it.

Sacrificial animals are typically treated a lot better than factory-farmed animals, too.

At that level, yes I suppose so.

I'll have you know that "fuck this shit o'clock" changed my life forever.

Vodou is big in Haiti. Voudon is big in West Africa. They are similar in some respects, but very much not the same. Santeria, Vodou, and Voudon all come from the same root, but they have grown into quite different religions. Santeria and Voudon are no closer at this point than Presbyterianism and the Episcopal Church.

Wait, what's going on? I thought SOP on this kind of crap was for the publisher to double down. Am I dreaming? If I am don't wake me.

The other day my dad said I couldn't possibly be broke because my housing costs were 1/4 of my gross income. I was like "what in holy hell does that have to do with my net or my other bills?"

I never heard this mix before (I assume it's the original?). The electro house remix was really popular a few years back.

From what I can recall of game theory, given an equal possibility of winning and losing, if you can play to a draw then you should play to a draw. Theoretically it would be possible to anticipate your opponent playing to a draw and trying to use that to your advantage, but it would expose you to unexpected losses

PA CHIP doesn't cover any form of family planning, including contraceptives. You can only get birth control if you can get a doctor to authorize it to treat a medical condition.

In Pennsylvania CHIP doesn't cover abortions, so if she was it wouldn't have made any difference.

Yeah, and if they'd sentenced her to a class on why you should only get pharmaceuticals from a licensed pharmacy and some amount - even a large amount - of community service I'd say you had a point. But 12-18 months behind bars? That's excessive. She's not a risk to the community, she's not going to reoffend, and she

Plan B is emergency contraception, not an abortifacient. By the time you know you're pregnant, Plan B has long since passed as an option. She'd have to get mifepristone. In Pennsylvania, you can't do that unless the pill is actually administered by a physician. So using her insurance for her daughter wouldn't work.

Oh, Iggy. When you've been criticized for calling yourself a slave master, a white sheet is probably not something you should wear.

Seems like that's the consensus. I don't know that I'd be comfortable with it, either. I'm kind of looking at this as more of an art project than a business idea.

It's an interesting idea. I can certainly relate to the lack of physical contact, on account of my crippling shyness and social anxiety. Based on the responses here, I'm not sure it will catch on, though. If people in general don't like it, then it seems like the people who would need it the most are the people least

Can't tell if snark, but I assume that's what the "respecting boundaries" part is about. If you wanted a side hug you'd just be like "hey let's side hug."

I think that's kind of his point, though. He wants to change that.
