Being a person doesn’t give them the right to someone else’s body to survive.

Unless we’re legalizing forced blood, liver, marrow, and kidney donation?

Same, depending on the restaurant.

Women worth dating tend to find coffee much more appealing as a first date than an expensive meal.

Maybe you just have a hard time identifying the women worth dating? Many people do.

Exactly. Coffee, ice cream, or something like that. Perfect first date.

I don’t tend to “test” the people I date.

But I don’t have an issue meeting either way, so long as it’s communicated. I mean… meeting outside the door is still meeting at the restaurant.

Spoken like someone who isn’t afraid of potential dates. Lol.

No way I’m meeting privately on a first date with someone I don’t know. I’d rather be stood up in the restaurant.

I can’t find a legitimate source for this man actually existing. Do you happen to have any?

Somebody skipped the checks and balances lesson in 10th grade American History, eh?

The thing most companies are missing is to design the AI experience. What happens when it fails? Are we making options available for those who want a standard experience? Do we even have an elegant feedback loop to mark when it fails? Are we accounting for different pitches and accents? How about speech impediments?

I’m a designer focusing on AI, but a lot of companies haven’t even realized they need a designer for this. It’s like we’re the conscience of tech, and listened to about as often.

Ah, yes. The Rufio method.

I hope to never go back to office. Remote has been a life changer. I have time to keep weeds out of my garden. The flexibility to have workers at my house whenever they are available. The freedom to set up my desk how I like it. Time to eat breakfast. I don’t get headaches every day any more from the lighting. I get to go outside during breaks for some sunshine time. I’m here when the kids come home.

My work is more focused. No more road stress. I may be able to move to a place I can tolerate. No more wearing makeup that is bad for my skin. No more having to pack a lunch. My life is infinitely better without having to commute.

We could always go back to html chats. Hotelchat, Webmaze…

Because when it comes to survival until procreation, you don’t need more than two sets.

It’s not like bees pollinate for our benefit.

There’s a reason animals run away from the monkeys with pointy sticks. We eliminated the ones that don’t until we got comfortable enough that we had the luxury of turning them into various forms of entertainment, and therefore had a reason to preserve some.

I go in so I can find people who will eat my baked goods.

Communist West Germany? You mean East Germany?

Because I lived there when the Wall came down, and I can tell you based on the huge influx of Eastern Germans who had floorboards you could see through that quality was not a priority.

I think it’s more that they are trying to solve the problem by changing the dev team processes, when the biggest factor of success is developing the RIGHT thing. But since most tech managers have risen up from the ranks of devs, and they have a hard time understanding that other people have valuable skills they don’t, they have no idea how to hire good designers and refuse to listen to them when they happen to get one.

I was getting harassed by my dealer to buy a new car, and I said I didn’t like the new cars and all their “features.” He said “fair enough” and left me alone after that.

First, you’re not OP, so I can only imagine that you’re taking something personally that has nothing to do with you.

Second, nothing in this post mentioned trauma. Being harassed by invasive questions isn’t trauma, it’s just humans trying to be social.

Third, if instead of working on your trauma you’re trolling internet discussions and inserting yourself whenever you think you can successfully play the victim, you do not have my sympathy.

Because by 40, most people are past these kinds of shenanigans.
