People who hoard more money than they can spend in several lifetimes while people are literally dying in the streets cannot be good. These things are mutually exclusive.

It's not appropriate to ask a woman out when she's working. Service staff get hit on all day and they're just trying to work.

You can slip her your number if she shows up at your place of business and leave the ball in her court though. If she doesn't contact you then there's your answer.

Playing hypothetical games like this are poisonous to a relationship. My advice is to not do that kind of thing anymore.

Speaking as an older person who's been on the internet since it became a public thing, I don't think it's necessarily older folks' fault. Most of the crappy interactions I had on there were with young "edgelord" male gamers.

I think it's more nuanced than any one group.

Basically, if you build it they will come refers to the dross, who come in droves once something is a recognizeable "thing" and then we all have to abandon ship for greener pastures and more measured discourse.

I'm speaking as a woman who's been hit on at work. We're paid to be nice to the customers and too many customers take it as some sort of come-on.

One of the top reasons I finally went Linux and I don't regret making the change one bit.

Good for you for listening, and good luck.

Well, now she knows he's not worth the trouble of the first date.

A grief support group could be what you need. Check with her oncologist or your doctor to find one.

It's one I gave myself: I told my adult and nearly adult sons this year that we aren't doing Xmas anymore because we're atheist and anti-capitalist and as a holiday it is counter to our beliefs. The kids didn't care and I'm off the hook from now on. Best Xmas gift ever!

Warframe is free to play and nothing is locked behind money. it's got a really steep learning curve but pushing past it is well worth it.
