Watch out for the hidden “touching Anthony Hopkins’ wrinkly old silly putty ballsack” clause.

Lying is a sin, Mr. Daleiden. A good Christian boy like yourself should know that.

“Politics is a fact-free zone,” she said. “People just say things.”

“Can I take myself off Peeple?”

I was thinking to myself what sort of deeply disturbed person “is trying to find a babysitter who I can trust” but seems so socially inhibited as to be incapable of speaking to their neighbours.

What if they just buy a cheap burner cell and give that number to the app? And when the company texts the burner, they reply as if they were you? So that you never even know that a profile for you was created and have no way of defending yourself.

Don’t apologize. That’s a plausible scenario. Either the founders didn’t think this through or their prioritizing money over people’s safety. Maybe both.

This also sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

That’s exactly where my mind went to abusive exes, work place bullies, randos you turned down and customers who didn’t get their water temp adjusted quickly enough. My husband’s ex put him on the Herpes website when she found out we got married. It’s since been removed but I can see how this app would be right up her…

“As two empathetic, female entrepreneurs in the tech space, we want to spread love and positivity,” Cordray explained. “We want to operate with thoughtfulness.”

I think the conclusion you jumped to there is completely valid. This is terrifying.

“As two empathetic, female entrepreneurs...”

Can I take myself off of Peeple?

Can you imagine getting that text letting you know that someone wanted to write a review about you and thinking “This is def something I would like to opt in to!”

They sound very much like sociopaths.

Seriously. I’d rather have someone tell me to fuck off right to my face then have to subscribe to an app to see if they told me to fuck off.

This is one of the worst ideas I’ve ever seen.

“the user must provide that person’s phone number. Then the person will receive a text letting them know which one of their friends or foes started their profile.”

These guys don’t sound empathetic. They sound like people who have never met a troll, been fat shamed, or otherwise bullied.

I want to say it gets better and you’ll one day get more sleep, but it would be a lie. Adult life is nothing but sleep deprivation.
