| Eharmony was really where the meeting up for no chemistry seemed to happen like a broken record. On the other hand when I tried OKC I notice that my luck at even getting responses was drastically different - I'd get responses regularly or even be hit up with questions perhaps once or twice a weak -... |

| I've been very close friends with someone for almost a decade, and I've been normal friends with them for more than two. We've been having trouble recently due to large changes in our lives. I ended up taking a job and have to live with family about 2+ hours away. I've also been dating during that t... |

| I've had great luck, at least so far, with OKC. It takes a bit of time and effort. I had discussions with several women over a couple of months and eventually found one who I clicked with. I asked her out and four months later we've never been happier. My SO, like techstepgenr8tion, apparently had a... |

Yeah... If you're concerned about high taxes and inefficient government, then you shouldn't vote based on pa... |

| Midori is extremely light, though. I hadn't realized just how much Iceweasel was slowing down my whole system. Replacing it with Midori and it suddenly feels like I doubled the RAM. You may want to check out swiftweasel w/ the usual noscript/flashblock add-ons, if you value memory use. I have 128mb... |

| That pessimistic view can certainly be innacurrate, but it is most likely erring on the side of caution- better safe than sorry. If people only were cautious or nervous if they had 100% reliable confirmation that they were in danger, the human race wouldn't have lasted this long. One of the things ... |

I wouldn't call you a jerk. It is possible to be assertive & nice too. The as... |

| I think bi-curious is the healthiest attitude to have about sex. Weather you are pedominently Gay (like me) or Straight, or somewhere in the middle, I think keeping an open mind about other options is the way to go. However, I'm currently in a monogomous relationship with a great guy, so no curiosi... |

| The debt bubble, and consequently the real estate/commodities/market bubbles were a long time coming. From 1995 to 2007 consumer credit increased by ~13%/year, w/ no commensurate increase in wages to support this increase.

| If someone found an exit node that wasn't blocked they can restrict their traffic to it IIRC, at least until WP identifies it. What would be a bit of a pain is writing something that can identify which tor nodes are recognized and which aren't. |
