1. "the rich" seems pretty clear an concise. What else would you call them. How is "rich people" any more or less crass?

2. You say it provides a strawman. But then you go on to basically confirm what the article says. And your defense is "that's just how it is"

"One man's innocent, casual conversation with a female coworker can these days become that woman's #MeToo moment"

Lets look at some notable #MeToo cases in the last year

1. Harvey Weinstein - Dozens of women accused Weinstein of assaulting, harassing, or raping them.

2. Matt Lauer - Fired for inappropriate sexual relationship with a coworker. Not an isolated incedent, as many women came forward through his career with reports of sexual assault and unwanted sexual advances.

3. Mario Batali - Accused of sexual misconduct by multiple female employees. Repeated reports of Batali groping the breasts of women who worked for him.

So where is this "innocent conversation" you mention?

I think you can relax. Most of these stories are not about subtle or accidental sexism. She says her teammate introduced her as a token female. That's obviously inappropriate, right? I don't think I'd need to monitor my words carefully to avoid saying something so outright belittling to a coworker.

She says team members would openly express that they wouldn't hire women because they would just get married. I don't know about you, but that seems like something obviously dated and wrong. Growing up, both my parents worked, and that was the norm. It's been the norm for a long time. Women aren't new to the work force. So why do people think this? In any case, it should be obvious not to say things like this.

Then she says a professor followed her beck to her room and tried to forcibly kiss her. That's something obviously wrong, right? It should be easy to say "I won't follow and forcibly kiss anyone." That's like good manners 101. Basic stuff we learn in 1st grade.

The sexism described here isn't the sort of thing you'd let slip by accident. There's no double meanings here. It's just bare faced disrespect for women. So please, relax. You don't need to walk on eggshells to avoid being a complete jerk.

And if you still aren't sure how to talk to women, I would take the articles own advice: Try talking to them like a person.

Ok, but more than 30 years after the Chernobyl disaster, it's still not safe to live in Pripyat. Worker's are limited to spending no more than 5 consecutive hours on site.

So yeah. Foreverish.

I figured that was the case, so I'm glad I could fill you in.

I agree that the hand drawn style isn't the best way to consume this sort of content.

During a major hurricane I was without power for a week. In that time I wrote more songs, more poems, and finished more paintings than ever before. The takeaway: creativity requires occasional periods of boredom.

I thought clickbait was "you'll never believe what happens next" and "one weird trick." A far cry from this submission.

There's nothing to get. A zine is just a self published magazine. Not all of them are hand drawn.

Essentially, zines were blogs before the web.

Going after the low end can be a good strategy, since the established competition usually ignores that market segment. Speaking as someone who might be in that low end demographic (a musician looking for tips), I like the branding, since it makes donation seem more intimate, more casual than "patron."

I'm a musician who gives their work away for free. I'm intrigued by this. I don't make a living off my music, but I have a small following that supports me in small ways (5 bucks here, 10 bucks there).

Can you tell me what the difference is between using this and say, using a paypal donation button? If I use your product, aren't I being charged twice, since you take a cut, and so does paypal / stripe?

I tried this and it didn't make me use my phone less. That said, I don't use my phone for hours and hours to begin with. Was this anyone else's experience?

Nitpicking: The stars don't do anything when I click them. Only when I start to drag them do I get any kind of visual feedback that something happened (they scale up)

Not sure if that's intentional. I'm on Firefox.

There's no reason to replace a phone when it works fine, and the replacement is hardly better. These companies have an economic incentive to encourage waste.

Can we admit that these incentives are fucked up? Much of our society works this way. This is fucked up. Right?

"There's some who argue"

Let's be clear about who.

Who is arguing that people need separate identities for work, family, and friends? Sociologists

Who is arguing that having a single identity will make society more open? Mark Zuckerberg.

I wouldn't blame the success of Uber on the founder's emotional intelligence. Quite the contrary.

Well the test results came back. And it looks like people hate your idea. Thank goodness.

Be careful suggesting contemptible ideas in jest. Online, people will think you're serious. And in the HN bubble, you risk normalizing these dangerous ideas.
