Sure buddy, force people to do what you want, see how quickly you get fired.

Yeah I know. It still annoys me though, I don't want this place to turn into Reddit.

I understand your frustration, I'm an introvert and I work in education which is about 75% women, so I have run across groups like what you describe.

The easiest fix is to find a better work place, but in the meantime the only thing I've found that works is to become boring to them; listen politely but give short, non-committal answers. Shrug and say "I don't know" as much as you can. Don't say anything that they can use to ask a follow up question. If you get a hardcore talker, excuse yourself to go to the bathroom.

Your entire post is a series of straw man arguments that are completely fabricated.

I think this is a pretty good definition. Heard it on an episode of This American Life. Note that it's not just about romantic love, but other kinds as well.

The visionary feminist writer Bell Hooks says love is made up of seven parts. Wherever someone is practicing care, affection, recognition, respect, commitment, trust, and open, honest communication, there is love.

What I've never been able to wrap my head around is how did they use their tiny arms, and for what?

Only thing I can think of is that they might have used them to brace themselves on the ground while leaning down past their balance point to eat. Doesn't seem like a very useful thing to have arms just for that though

I want to fall in love one last time before I die. (Terminal cancer, age 41)

All that other shit is meaningless

This bothers me too. In movies, when women cheat, it always turns out that the guy they were with is somehow bad for them or also cheating after the woman has already cheated, but that apparently doesn't matter, and completely absolves them of any guilt or responsibility

All sitcom dads being fat, slobbish and painfully stupid and unaware of anything to do with housework, children, or common sense but somehow they all have long-suffering yet weirdly hot wives who just roll their eyes and somehow don't file for divorce.

The Simpsons

King of Queens

George Lopez's show

According to Jim (Belushi)

There are fewer lifeforms in the universe lower than Reddit mods.

This isn't R. R is shit. That's why you left. Stop trying to make this place like R. R still exists. If that's what you want, go back there. R sucked because of the hive mind mentality and pandering for (pointless, imaginary) upvotes.

Don't try and recreate that. R trained you to write and post in a certain way so that the owners of that private company could get maximum engagement for their advertisers and make money off of your eyeballs. Let it go. Be free. Let the weird web flourish.

I know there was some project about this but haven't heard of anything for a while. Ewaste is such a crime; all of my devices are used or older purchases that are past their "cool by" date. I have an iPad 2 and iPad mini that function perfectly but aren't supported by apple anymore. Would love to get a second life for them instead of having to get rid of them for no good reason.
