I don't think the poster was saying "this is the way it is", more like "this is the way it ought to be".

For me, they're all post-doc's and social media experts of some kind.

I tried Tinder for a month, and found the same thing. There's so little investment and information, I'm surprised that anyone actually makes a real connection from it.

Right, and if both people have skin in the game, they'll only agree to go if they're genuinely interested, rather than "I've nothing better to do, and at least it will probably won't cost me anything."

I actually put on my okc profile, that members should only contact woman if they agree with the idea of going dutch on the first date. I figured it would weed out a certain swath of people I'd be better off not knowing.

I can't say I disagree with anything you wrote. I was more commenting on the game being bad juju, not that it should be wiped from the earth.

There are problems with this - for one: kids will play this. There are loads of pathetically irresponsible, lazy parents out there who will put the controls in the hands of those who still don't have as firm a grasp on the distinction. And I'm pretty forgiving and think that a well-adjusted 10 year old can handle…

If I were a gaming exec, I'd be looking at the lack of female "core" gamers as an untapped market (there are already plenty of female "casual/phone" gamers), and would be hiring women like crazy to help me design. create, and market games might satisfy that segment. Or to adjust certain games to make them more…

It's actually a smart move - the job security just isn't there. Every executive has a motivational poster on his/her wall "How many engineering jobs did you move overseas this week?" The other fields have held onto their relative job security over the years.

It's the national pastime on tumblr to post the stupid/disgusting/strange things straight men post on dating sites. Perhaps the reason I find that hilarious (stuff like "Y U No in my pants?") is due to straight privilege - but maybe also because it's hilarious.

I had a women explain how she had an eff-buddy on the side while on our first date. I cut the date somewhat short (didn't order another drink, nor apps, and soon got "tired"). I mean, great, have all the eff-buddies you want, but maybe when you're sincere about meeting an actual partner, put the fwb on hold. The…

Perhaps, like me, you just don't see "cultural appropriation" as so inherently wrong that perpetrators must offer constant penance as a counterbalance to their grave sins.

Ha! I saw that Octoberfest - at least the line around the block at 10am on a Sunday (or so). It looked like fun, but the line and prices scared me.

I should go watch tv now

Because he's actually Jesus, so he says me instead of Jesus Christ

When she calls up Jesus' prayer hotline, he's all like "Me!"

My daughter's almost 14 now. We played the "no barbies" game for years when she was young, but eventually we stopped being so ideological about her toys (especially considering that overall she had tons of other playthings and interests). We ended the ban.

Really? It is never blind and dumb to want peace. Are Michael Brown's parents dumb and blind too?

Such as GWAR

Anyone who advocates confrontation is not street smart. When I was a kid, I wasn't catcalled in my neighborhood, but I did get a lot of "hey white boy!" and "got any money white boy?" I learned to keep walking and keep my mouth shut. 19 times out of 20, they'd eventually get bored, and feel they've wandered too…
