@sailaunderscore As bad as the apps can be I think a lot of modern dating problems come from how we have to do away more talking through 'text' then we should be. The apps suck but taking to someone you don't know well mostly through your phone is the main problem, so much context is lost there
@MattZeitlin I think it's great that people can and do age in place, just wish they hadn't stopped new construction for decades beforehand. We wouldn't have to be mad at them for staying in place if there were lots of new places available too
@mbennettwrites@ask_aubry And when you want some time with 'the girls' and only the girls how would you communicate that to the boys who want to bake too? Is one weekend where a boy who just moved across the country gets to spend time with just another boy his age such a bad thing?
@ask_aubry If the genders were reversed absolutely no one would think anything of a pair of girls wanting/needing some time away from a younger boy, would they?
@ask_aubry Gonna throw fuel on the fire with this but it's it that much for one weekend trip to be about the two boys. Is it that bad to spend some time not being a big brother and just have time with another boy his age. This sounds like a one time thing
@PhilSustainable We could have a half dozen less maga members of Congress if people didn't move to places like Texas and Florida for cheaper housing too
@mcmansionhell@JGrantGlover How do we get good looking 5 over 1s. I feel like the ugly aesthetic makes people resent this type of housing but if it were a cozy looking brick building it would be fine
@mindyisser We keep trying to let police, ER staff and public service workers be the de facto frontline for this scenario and it never works. We do need to bring back institutions for people like this.
@mindyisser I don't know if there's a good interim solution but it's good to have this discussion publicly because way to many people on the left do think 'just ignore it' is a legitimate solution to a legitimate problem.
