Online dating seems to be a perennial problem, like a note-taking or "todo app" that attracts many different approaches from startups, but whose end result never quite scratches the itch (for me, at least). a bit offtopic, but hav

Can someone use this if they espouse "white nationalist"-adjacent beliefs (such as building a border wall and deporting illegal immigrants)? What does it mean if they can or cannot?

There is nothing inherently bigoted about Islam or Muslims. Neo-Nazism however...

If recent events have shown anything, it is that we need to do a lot MORE to stop neo-Nazism. I'm not saying doxx all neo-Nazis and whites, supremacists. But we need to name them. Make them known. Don't support their businesses. D

Made this comment in the other (flagged) thread. Here goes: I agree it was not nefarious, but it was a decision that shows unbelievably poor judgement, especially for a CEO. I'd be surprised if he keeps his position. He's undermin

That's not as bad as Colin Powell, who used AOL while serving as Secretary of State. And of course it also was hacked by, you guessed it, Guccifer.
