Prostitution went hi-tech a while ago- portable credit card readers, online booking, apps/sites for ratings/reviews of workers and clients, background checks etc. Even surveillance detection for the more paranoid. The Sex Industry is a rather early-adopter.
Just compare car insurance prices: age and gender discrimination in pricing. (Amusingly when mentioning this to a local politician during his 'sexism at the hairdresser' spiel, he had replied that that was valid discrimination, as opposed to hair length/style/complexity/willingnesss-to-complain discrimination)
Feel free to free to disbelieve, but that just might been your location. I know I was paying 6$ Cdn to see new release movies in the 2000s, 4$ on cheap night.
Still not as nice as the 80s with 2$ movies... a little bit of picking up found change and you could see a new release after school.
Or you go to say, Gmail, and are told 'your browser is out of date, you should update to Chrome, it's so much better'. "If Google says it, it must be true" is a mantra in a lot of (older) people's heads.
Isn't the biological imperative rudimentary eugenics? Presume your genetic material is 'the best', and fight to get the mate(s) with the 'best material' to produce strong offspring?
Pshaw, you're giving them death, and they like it so much, they discard life in favour of it. Not your fault they can't handle both at the same time. They actually rather owe you for it.
Man-eaters have been a recurrent problem for India....There, some healthy tigers have been known to hunt humans .... During war, tigers may acquire a taste for human flesh from the consumption of corpses which have lain unburied, and go on to attack soldiers; this happened during the Vietnam and Second World Wars
So some learn to find it tasty, and continue on preying on humans by choice. As Homer put it: "Faster Son, He's Got a Taste For Meat Now! "
Guilty. If the movie sucks, we tend to savage the hell out of it (though hopefully not loud enough to disturb others overly). Rapt attention is reserved for a good movie, but bad movies have their own appeal...kinda. Were we at home, we'd likely just have turned it off, but some of us at work made weekly outings for dinner and a movie, and the bad ones were more fun.
Also: Rocky Horror Picture Show showings. Have props ready.
Just disable flashing gifs, period. Nothing of value is lost, just 'reaction gifs' for the most part. Already are extensions out there like AniDisable to do that.
And were I suffering a condition where flashing lights would debilitate me, I'd have a script/block/setting to prevent animations and flashes (already block videos just for their irritation when unexpected/unwanted). Twitter can do what it wants, but I as the person surfing the net can simply say 'no'.
Not going to defend the person sending it: he demonstrated intent to injure and was successful in it. Do however feel due diligence is required if you have a medical condition that is visually triggered...and surf the net.
That's only if you're purely random. The point was preventing easily researched information undermining your account. To point, one of the questions for a service is : name of your favourite restaurant. If people were to 'know' me, they'd guess ones I went to, and might even guess/know the right one. The problem for them is the answer I chose IS the name of the restaurant, just in a different language. There is next to no memory effort required for me, but it isn't something you'd find from facebook or twitter or asking a best friend. Basically it's using 'jedi truth' for your answers and understanding of the question.
Might not work for some, works easily for me, and is entirely limited to the asinine security questions we get demanded to use. I'm not arguing the merit or lack of security questions, only that they need not be a huge flaw some portray them as.

It's as much theft as casting a shadow is stealing sunshine [from someone not even in the area]. "But but all those potential photons!"
Don't blame (just) the food. Blame the lazy curriculum. If the bratlings are sedentary, really doesn't matter how healthy they eat.
Though, I'll grant you that losing perspective on what a proper meal serving size is plays a good part.
*nods* and people here wonder why the coffee cream goes fast. Well..if the alternative is that 2% stuff...
A stopped clock. A broken clock can be right 0% of the time, depending how it's broke (e.g. if it were missing the hands, or smashed into pieces)

True, but they can walk down the stairs without half the wildlife trying to kill them.
