Agreed. But what’s the fastest time toy have had for a response? For me it’s been measurable in quarters, not months or weeks. Usually about 3, but sometimes 5 or 6.

You can save the cash and just never let it connect to the internet.

Reminds me of an apartment I used to live in where there was a completely open wifi with an open and shared RW hard drive from the root on the network. I left them a post it note and slipped a card under the door a week or so later without them making any change. Finally printed their resume to their own printer with added massive text in the middle saying something like “for your sake you need to stop sharing everything in the network!”

It was gone within a day. In my head they unplugged it all in a panic. =)

This varies by location. I’ve been through it on both sides in a few states, and when working with an employment lawyer one of the most crucial things he said was to make sure the filing was in the beneficial state.

Why are you trying to keep your credit utilization specifically of those cards below 10%? Is this a credit score thing?

I think you have the elevator example crossed. My random testing suggests the door open button always works. The close button sometimes is as you say, just to make people feel like they have a measure of control.

Go on your own. You likely know this, but saying it just in case.

One more vote for ‘better to be male’

And we seem to like destroying their breeding grounds. I’m leaving some brush piles in place and starting to see few more of them

Good for you

Notice I wasn’t able to do it, and had a female friend rip it apart? So I may not be the best one to answer - in my case I at least didn’t have the most egregious usual things like a picture of me holding a fish or a trophy deer, but she did replace most of my photos. She took some more I just looked casual in nature. Just me, no one else in the photos. Also some pictures she selected of me in groups where I was clearly front and center happy and I guess good eye contact.

As for the words in the profile, I had a couple of things in there which implied previous relationships and even the tiniest hint of anything negative she removed all of that. Kept Hobbies and activities and interests as well as what I was looking for. That’s all it was as best I recall

And unless you are stuffing your orifices, don’t think you are getting far with a theft of floating cash anyhow

I want the earring stud connected to a personal Ai like in Enders Game. The author (Orson Scott Card) called her Jane.

Of course in the book she was completely connected and insanely intelligent so made him in riches beyond belief while he was doing things like space traveling. Nice side feature.

Met my wife on coffee meets bagel. Used other apps, and had lots of great experiences on all but bumble and shadii (tinder, match, pof, perhaps others).

My suceess got a ton better after one of my first matches helped me take new photos and update my text. She said I wasn’t selling myself well, and was 1000% right based on the results.

There is an effective formula for feedback I like.

1. When you x it has y effect
2. Pause for them to reply, ask questions, or even better - suggest an alternative
3. It would be better if z

In this case, when you make repeat the same joke it loses all humor value and becomes an annoyance.

It would be better if jokes were limited in use, and certainly not repeated.

A couple come to mind

The guy who ran a porn server from work. Was finally caught when the internet bill was huge and the cio and a tech tracked it through the network to his port. Waited until he walked away for a minute and when he came back found them on hands and knees about to pull the network cable from the server under his desk. Apparently he was making quite a bit off it too. His first words were ‘I’m fired, aren’t I?’

A woman who lied constantly. She’d claim we built something other than what we were asked to make, and the only defense was to show her the email where she asked for exactly what she got. We learned to document everything with her.

Funny side story. When I joined, all bright eyed and energetic, they assigned me to support her. No warning. I went on and created some software for her, only to get screamed at an blamed for made up reasons. I thought I was about to get fired… Turns out my team was kind of being assholes too. They all decided not to tell me anything to see if a fresh unbiased person had issues too.

Getting hit in the balls.

Are they doing that with everyone removing their content lately? So much for having control of your user account and persona.
