Why use a proprietary massaging system when XMPP exists?

Recently I've gotten to know a few artists, and I get the feeling pathos is vastly more important than the actual mechanics in art. But then there's also some artists using things like Arduinos to control mechanical or electronic amalgamations (locally: a pile of old CRT televisions), so maybe the "my kid could paint that" is more indicative of a move away from canvas? Maybe someone in the art world can shed some light on this

I also spy a bottle of O.P. Anderson in the background

Some of the women admitted that they had not used birth control with guys who had appealing characteristics

Good thing I'm appalling!

But more seriously, giving the same kind of power to men simply levels the playing field. Soon both partners need to be completely honest with each other whether to become parents. Despite the FUD you're trying to sling the article even indicates that a majority of women would support this. And as the article points out, few women are overly keen on single motherhood either way.

My current experience is that pseudonymity works pretty well, especially if you can see how old each pseudonym is. The author also assumes people won't behave like dicks if using their legal name, but experience shows otherwise.

I've been running into a lot of these US-only stereotypes recently that I was never aware of. They kind of make me sad.

I don't really get the point of tipping. In my country servers are unionized and paid decently, meaning they don't have to rely on untaxed income. It's a nice gesture, but by no means expected.
