    As an asexual girl who still wants a male partner, would “scheduled sex” be a dealbreaker for men?

    Jump

  • Also late 90s Midwest here and I got similar information. We also got completely untrue info like if you jizz in a hot tub and a girl gets in she can get pregnant because the sperm will swim into her vagina and from long distances away.

  • 100%. Make migrations really easy and the problem fixes itself. To the extent people want to leave m.s. Some people don't want to leave and trying to force them to or make it impossible to join m.s is a great way to push people to nonfederated social media.

  • Regulations restricting pay disclosure?

    Jump

  • IANAL, but employment law is generally "it's allowed unless explicitly forbidden".There is no right to be hired so they're allowed to include any limitations on who they might hire except for those that are illegal. For instance they can say "we refuse to hire people who live in Illinois" but they can't say "we refuse to hire Muslims."

  • Should I try to reconnect with a friend who's chosen to self isolate?

    Jump

  • It's the only answer. Worst case she ignores you. Best case, you save her life.

    Just don't think you need to do more than that. You can't help people who don't want help.

  • You have to determine if asking for help is worse than not asking for help. It will be hard either way. I don't know your relationship with your parents but if they care about you and can afford it they probably will help. And if they don't you can make a plan for how to deal with that. At least you'll know.

  • ATCs shouldn't show up to work until they get paid.

  • They're losing because they're going to get tired of all the winning. Which is why the Republicans losing is actually winning. They're no longer tired of winning. So they can win again.

  • What fictional character do you wish was real?

  • God would be interesting.

  • Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while?

    Jump

  • It is coding for the lowest common denominator of user -- those who use the same easily-guessable password for everything. Making them click a link to login is honestly better security.

    Of course there should be an option for those of us who have a TOTP app and use a password manager.

  • did you ever get throttled with an esim?

    Jump

  • Read the title and thought an "esim" was some sort of device (in Europe) that parents used to beat their children with.

  • At least they were nice enough to say up front that the requirements will be shit.

  • An ethics question

    Jump

  • I have a similar situation and I've landed on "my first duty is to my wife." What that means to you may be different than what it means to me, but that's where you should start IMO.

    To the TL;DR question, absolutely it's ethical to be more upset as more bad things happen.

  • how do you deal with those characters fully convinced a job is something you have to enjoy?

    Jump

  • Even if you love your job, you’re going to grow to hate it, to a certain extent.

    Yes, I got a job in a line of work I like and now I don't like the line of work because it's my job. I associate it with bad things now.

  • Hot Take Time: What is a popular long-running franchise that just needs to stop?

    Jump

  • Futurama. I think it's the best 30 minute show of all time but it's time for it to go. It's OK. Good things are allowed to end.

  • What pointless advice have you had?

    Jump

  • "People have it worse than you do, so quit being sad."

    The logical end of this argument is that the one person in the world who has it the worst is the only person allowed to be unhappy.

  • I found the bus system to be rather extensive when I was there several years ago. So its not too surprising to see them go with trains.

  • what country would you never go to again?

    Jump

  • Florida. My brother lives there though. However he moving back to the Midwest so maybe I don't have to go anymore.
