IIRC from reading about it, you just tick a checkbox next to all of the friends you'd like to bang; if one of them is using the app and ticks your as well then you're both sent a message. Presumably then a really awkward conversation occurs.
Also I don't think the kind of people who use an app like this are going to be aware of the fact that banging friends leads to less friends and weirder connections.
Your writing style makes most of the people who read you think you're just petty and looking for an opportunity to kick people who are down. Frankly I think the same. This kind of playground attitude rarely occupies the mind of good men.
If you've really been lamenting people's excitement over bitcoins as long as you say you have, I feel sorry for you and maybe you deserve this token of happiness. Fruitless as it is, you make it seem like you don't have much else.
That's along the lines of what I was thinking. Google glass will change porn in the same way that camera phones changed photography. It'll be more accessible to amateurs maybe, but professionals will probably not use this tech considerably.
No doubt. I even made up a little rhyming slogan to that "E.A. SPORTS. IT'S IN THE GAME" bit when I was younger. ("E.A. SUCKS. THEY'RE FRICKIN LAME", if you were curious). Still I feel like since I don't buy their products, I don't have a dog in that fight. They just make malicious or slipshod decisions sometimes and it's ok because it has nothing to do with me.
The same can't be said for companies whose actions literally end or ruin large numbers of lives. It's harder to shrug off big banks taking in billions while ruining the working class as a whole and then somehow also making them pay for the damage; I can't just say "I didn't buy a house", because I still feel for the people who did. Let's not even talk about prison companies and military contract companies. Talk about evil...
Your parent comment said the hipster parts of east Austin, so we're not talking about rundberg and the areas that the cops are swearing they'll clean up. There are parts of the east side that are friendly and cheap. There's a nice pocket of neighborhoods around 51st street that's low on crime and just a long bike ride from downtown.
In that case food lion got publicly busted and undoubtedly had to tighten standards. What's the alternative in a system where you can't engage in undercover reporting?
ABC: "Hey food lion. ABC here. Do you guys sell rotten meat?"
Food Lion: "no. no we do not."
ABC: "Mind if we check?"
Food Lion: "Sure, just give me a minute to clean up some things so you're not seeing how we operate day-to-day. I'll schedule your visit."
ABC: "Huh. Everything looks above board"
Food Lion: "Yes, they do look that way today. On your visit. Don't come back without notice."
>Note that it's labeled "terrorism" only in some interest group's "model bill."
This reminds me of an old web design trick. You get the customer specs, plan out exactly what you think will work, and then add something stupid-looking. Like a giant duck by the login button. The duck acts as a decoy for customer complaints; a lot of business people want to point at something and say "change it!", so you give them that. And when they bring it up you smile and say "say no more, I'll have it removed sir".
Likewise, if complaints about a given bill can be pulled or drawn towards language like "terrorism", then the meat of the bill avoids some scrutiny. Hell, an unscrupulous legislator whose constituency opposes the bill could demand the terrorism language be cut and then end up supporting the bill, pleasing both sides of the aisle as it were.
Also I don't think the kind of people who use an app like this are going to be aware of the fact that banging friends leads to less friends and weirder connections.
