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.

I don’t lie, so I’ll say, “well, you know…” and if they are friends, they know, if they aren’t, that’s a clue that they don’t want to.

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

This is my favorite comment so far this week. /unexpectedShakespeare

I love alternative vamps.

I once played a post-Atlantean vampire who lived in the PNW, taught ancient history (night classes,) and liked to draw. She also didn’t believe in killing any more. She had a lot of back story and a bad accent in every language. She also had a cracked sense of humor and was only mostly sane.

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.

You don’t even know my diet. Lol. You’re assuming what I eat just because I don’t agree with your methods.

I never used the word dogma. I just agreed with another commenter that veganism is a religion. I don’t happen to see a problem with religion, so don’t see that as an insult. I’m just labeling it what it is. Veganism is a religion. Eating vegan isn’t necessarily.

But you are right in an oblique kind of way. I have respect for other people’s beliefs. Not necessarily their behavior. And yours and OP’s is ineffective at actually trying to convince anyone of anything. If I were you, and really believed what I claimed to believe, I’d want to know that.

If being a doofus is having respect for people whose beliefs don’t match my own, then I’m happy to be one. I wish more people were doofuses. Maybe we could actually solve a few problems.

If you’re going to troll, at least try to put some cleverness into it.

If the posts were this pointless and unthinking, yes.
