Weird science.

We've got some wild and woolly new consent laws being rammed through. If they get what they want, the upshot (for the man) would require consent on camera before a bit of the ole "how's your father".

An adjacent news story here reports that a football player has had his career on hold for 2 years while he has been defending a sx assault charge. Which he has now won and is now re-instated as a player.

The Rugby League has a policy that if a player hits the news for any reason other than footy they are stood down, if need be indefinitely.

Some will say that is the fault of hook-up culture and not dating. I disagree. Modern dating is hook-up culture. It's the new social intercourse, as it were.

 "Diversity and Inclusion engineer"

I am not kidding, i came across one on a job site recently.

tkamiya:
My girlfriend has a masters degree in English.  I have a two year degree in data processing from a community college.  She is also 21 years older than I am.  Her daughter also has a masters degree, but in psychology.  I was a very poor student in my younger days.  I only got serious during college years.  She also made a lot more money than I when we met. 

After almost 25+ years later, we are still together.

Internet dating service would have never put us together in the first place.  We met at a community class place for ballroom dancing.  We are more of an exception than the rule.  But you know what people say about rules...

I don't know if things have changed, but back when I was on the market the "service" was more like a search engine and you could search by whatever criteria you want. There's no reason it wouldn't have matched you if you had something in common, provided you had not set criteria that would completely exclude each other.

tkamiya:
I've only heard of it second hand.  I didn't need online services, so I've never actually used it.  I only recall hear some of them were matching services.  So you are saying they are basically human version of DigiKey catalog?
