Be incredibly picky with who you swipe right to, and it’s generally okay. I have a lot of things that make me immediately swipe left for both pictures and bios. And if they get weird/crude when messaging, instant unmatch.

But seriously, how do you even get to the point of meeting up with someone when their initial message is “Wan 2 have my babby?”

Eh, I’ll stick to my original plan; responsible savings and investments that will one day leave me with enough income to appear on Millionaire Matchmaker. Like a normal person.

It’s the Twitter/Facebook rule... “keep toying with it until it’s shit and everyone has lost interest”

I am officially old. I have no idea who anyone is that was mentioned in this article. Except for Lena Dunham, and all I know about her is that she is a terrible and horrendous tweeter.

...I thought the whole point of Tinder was non-meaningful connections??

“algorithm in order to create more “meaningful connections””

I hope Dunham: a) ensures that all of her employees get paid no matter what work they do for her and b) isn’t so utterly tone deaf the way she has been in the past.

My assumption is the restaurant is really afraid of the customer not knowing what to do and feeling uncomfortable, then not coming back. Guidebooks to European travel spend pages describing how and when to tip. Right now, things are pretty clear; if your not a dick you tip absolutely minimum 15% and usually more like…

They can fire or otherwise punish an employee who accepts it. They could also do what a few generally non-tipped wage based restaurants have done and declare tips to belong to the company and treat them as such. Really they can do quite a bit to ensure that the employees won’t accept the tips.

I think the concern is that customers will think that “tipping optional” means “I have to tip.” Kinda like how when your significant other tells you that you that getting them a birthday present is optional.

How do they enforce that? Years and years ago, I worked at a giant chain toy store. We were not allowed to receive tips and being retail it wasn’t usually something people thought of anyway. But the dudes who built bikes? And the staff who helped carry a big playhouse or other large item out to a customers car? They…

...”don’t seem to understand that there’s a middle ground between “mandatory” and “banned.”I feel like this sums up the entire GOP mindset.

Understandable! That’s one guy I think should KEEP talking.

Okay, in fairness to GOOP, I subscribe to the newsletter and when she sent the email out announcing her divorce (I absolutely refuse to refer to it as a you-know-what) I clicked the link to get on her site and I not only couldn’t get the damn page to load, but my goddamn browser froze up and I had to restart it. So in…

i still don’t know what it means and i googled it the first time i saw it. i just don’t want to know, so my brain is pushing the information away.

“At least, that’s the way our Lady of Goopelupe tells it.”

I want to give Gwyneth a chance but in my head she’s always like

Well, I for one couldn't go on with my day when I first read about the conscious uncoupling. What did it mean? Would MY marriage survive if their conscious coupling was coming to an end? Who was she married to again? (JK, I know it's Viva La Vida)

I really did love the “Parents” episode. So endearing.
