Given that the very first words of my comment was that I don’t want that and that it was a problem, no. I have absolutely used online advertising for sex work adjacent services and think they’re important. My understanding is that many advertising sites in the past have ended up helping when there was actual…

Yeah. While the problem of getting rid of resources sex workers use to help each other and screen clients is an issue, I’m just not that sad about businesses losing the “we’re just the platform” defense.

Sure size isn’t going to change, but the friction absolutely does change with a condom. That can feel like “it won’t fit” if you’re not sexuality educated, as it sounds like she isn’t. Everyone is getting hung up on what is actually the most reasonable part of the letter. Condoms can hurt.

Bizarrely I don’t remember having an issue with trash cans when I was in Japan. I mostly remember buying drinks from a vending machine and there being a can right nearby, and I’d just use that one. 711 and konbinis were still awesome.

You are either doing life right or Jay Z parties wrong. Hard to say.

Yeah. The advice in the article is technically true, but if to can prove your company is firing you for an illegal reason they are really bad at it. It’s not hard to hide

Check out the ask a manager blog. The answer is a lot of times no, but there are a lot of details.

If it’s actually a paid job it’s much less taking advantage of someone. Also explicitly a different situation from the article. It’s not that these are terrible things to do. In fact they generally make work better. And at least some companies are starting to learn how much they give value. The problem is when women…

It’s harder if you’re a receptionist or administrative assistant because depending on how the company defines it, some of this stuff may be in your job description. But that doesn’t mean it all is. And people are terrible about respecting the difference.

Yes people will eavesdrop, but generally the rule is be subtle enough about it that the people you are eavesdropping on can’t tell. Doesn’t matter what language they’re using. I say this as someone that eavesdrops generally to keep my hand in foreign languages. But there is a right way and a wrong way.

And if you don’t request it/actively let partners know nudes are a thing you don’t do that’s a different setup that is fine. This article was talking about wanted/requested nudes. In that case I’d argue that not being a jerk is both helpful to the goal of continuing to have sexual contact with that person and the…

I have found that this makes the “people try to join me” worse.

I don’t know what the age range exactly is, but the Thinkery also was fun the one time I went. Targeted to younger than 16, but I don’t know how that would interact with her specific disability.

Thanks for adding this. I’m a little squicked out by the “lifetime commitment no matter what’s best for everyone involved” way this is going. Like yes, you made a commitment to love the dog (or spouse or whatever). That means you do what’s best for them, not some general principle that doesn’t take them into account.

Good point!

I know everyone loves the Salt Lick, but for some reason it just doesn’t do it for me.

I agree with you so much on Kerbey Lane. Another not worth the long wait.

Franklin barbecue is overrated unless you get to skip the line like Obama. Go to Cooper’s downtown. Delicious.

I mean sometimes it isn’t, but if I tell my boss I am ignoring e-mails and telephone calls to do “deep work” I don’t think they’ll agree that it isn’t my job.

Exactly. Assigned seating is so much better.
