I would think they'd be more interested in tangible assets.

They're cost effective and environmentally friendly, however dropping one on the floor of a public restroom is quite the faux pas.

Wasn't aware the two were distinct.

Awkwaaaard.

I think its pretty common that when students are divided by "ability", especially later on in middle or high school, it can weigh pretty heavily on the students in the "lower ability" classes. Its essentially saying "we don't expect much but you need to be here."

This system works out very well for bright, academically inclined students, sure. But it sets a structure of expectations that don't motivate what could possibly be great talent, but we wouldn't know because they didn't bubble in the right answer.

It would be entirely fair to say that sexism is also on the decline, I don't dispute that. For example, my father can no longer sell me for 3 goats (without my consent, of course). But this doesn't make it a non-issue, just as violence is not a non-issue. Just because a program is throwing out fewer errors doesn't mean its fixed.

If only there were some sort of world wide network of information where women could write about their experiences and share them with total strangers. I guess we'll have to leave it up to the occult for now.

Rhode Island always keeps it classy. Though I'm honestly surprised it wasn't Dunkin Donuts.

Its only a matter of time before someone decides to upload videos of people rejecting them at bars with accompanying "woe is me" commentary and resulting subreddit.

No need, you can float :)

Its like you took the words out of my fingers.

Not so much Devil's Advocate as bringing up a valid point. Most if not all social struggles are intersectional.

I think its a bit unfair to compare our parents generation (boomers) to ours (millennials, arguably).

The first thing that comes to mind is that, at least in my social circle, no one has a land line. We move a lot. We change cell phone numbers (carrier problems, relationship issues, who knows).

Its arguable that a FB presence is actually more stable than a physical presence for some social groups. Its not an all encompassing solution for human interaction by any means, but "worth it" is a very subjective term.

I'm the opposite. I can eat at a nice restaurant alone and enjoy my thoughts and not think twice about it. When I see someone else eating alone, my heart breaks and I contemplate asking them if they would like company.

Yes, but its the anomalies that are most likely worth meeting up with ;)
