  1. Re:Apps have sexual preferences ? on Gay Dating App Grindr Is Letting Other Companies See User HIV Status, Location Data (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Except that Medical Data generally has a higher standard of privacy (HIPPA) which Grindr may well be in violation of. If you're in possession of that data, and you're not the individual to which it applies, you're probably going to have a big problem if you're giving it out freely. In the US for HIPPA, and I'm certain that the EU has even more strict rules.

    I'm quite certain that Native Americans would agree with you wholeheartedly.

    Good for you. I wouldn't live in Mayberry for five times my salary.

    Different people value different things. I'm not being sarcastic about the good for you, but seriously. For several years I was a seven minute WALK from my office. And a 20 minute walk from the beach. Currently I have a longer commute, because I choose to remain downtown, but in a few months I can work from home more often than not.

    For me, that's worth one HELL of a lot more than living in Mayberry, where the pastor is probably one of the most important people in town.

    For me that would be pure HELL.

  4. Fuck off. That's my title. That's what I was hired as. No licensing requirements in my state. I give not a flying fuck if it makes you sad that your "title" is lessened for it.

  5. Eh, different things make different people happy I have no interest in living in a red state. It's just not my thing. I was offered a job based solely on my resume in Alabama. I wouldn't DRIVE through Alabama, never mind live there. I'm not down with Evangelistic Christians, who make up the majority there and control the laws. Why would I want to live under laws like that? I pity the company that was clearly lured there by tax incentives and has obviously learned that no one worth the salary wants to move there.

    You realize that the low cost of living is because there's very low desire to live there? That's super cool if you're good with that. I'll take living a mile and a half from the beach, having a walkable lifestyle and having cool things happening within walking distance of my apartment EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND.

    Now I have no desire to live in Cali either, for many reasons. But fuck living in the middle of the country.

    Living where life is good is subjective though.

    For instance. I live in South Florida currently. I could live west in the suburbs and buy a nice house, but then I'd be in the fucking suburbs where nothing cool ever happens and I'd have a 45 minute drive (or expensive Lyft or Uber) any time I wanted to do things that I consider making life good.

    Or I can live where I do, east of I-95, under the seabreeze, and near the beach and all the other things that I consider "making life good".

    I imagine that wherever you're talking about is somewhere far away from a coast or a city, and probably what I would consider a good life or decent job.

    To each his own.

    I spent 6 months unemployed recently. Republican lawmakers in state have made collecting unemployment from a fund I've been paying into for 30 fucking years impossible for someone who wants to continue a career that pays well. Instead of looking for work in my field, I would have to spend all my time looking for menial labor and be able to PROVE it in order to collect benefits. Fortunately, I was able to make it through without doing that.

    Fuck the GOP and anyone who supports them sideways with a fucking bandsaw.
