The 'don't read the comments' rule does not apply for a change.

Takes a moment to be grateful Internet type sites were not around when I was dating. I can see where the anonymous delete action could be helpful, but the stories I read here are not encouraging.

Showers are an important thing; hope you have that option again soon, David.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

the stories I read here are not encouraging

Jesse has tons of good stories from online dating, not to mention the people who found their spouses that way, like bon, or Lisa from Anarachy. I don't think there are more weirdos as a result--and, in fact, it makes them much easier to step around.

Imagine his equivalent in a bar, or a krav class, or at a friend's party...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think the last time I dated someone I met anywhere other than an online dating site, we met at a speed-dating event! I am not good at meeting people.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Strix met D on OK Cupid. Kate P met her husband there, too. It lets you learn something about a larger number and variety of people than just about anything else I can think of. Numbers game, there's going to be some wackos on the bell curve.

Plus, hilarious stories!!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Burrell, the CDC says for sure it's not the zombie apocalypse.

....just like they do in any zombie horror movie!

This is a so very true. There are plenty of success stories. My friend that has had the worst experiences has equally bad luck with those she selects at the bar or party. We have discussed the whole 'same criteria same results' issue.

I'd feel better about it if Buffy said it wasn't the zombie apocalypse.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I am so angry right now about the murder of the New Orleans paper, the Times Picayune. An announcement was made about 2 weeks ago that they are shifting to a digital focus, cutting the print edition from 7 to 3 days a week, and cutting their employees by a third.

The firings are coming out today. The news bureau has been cut by half. People focused on crime and education have been laid off. Brett Anderson, a James Beard award winner food writer, has been laid off.

I am so incredibly enraged by this- it's just the epitome of outsiders coming in, knowing NOTHING about how New Orleans works, and stripping an institution down and selling the parts for scrap. Not for nothing, New Orleans has one of the largest urban digital divides, and one of the highest print circulations, in the country.
