I'm not entirely sure what OP's idea of a "startup" or "the next level", aside from taking a regular "small business" and turning it into a "slight-larger small business". However, one of my childhood dance teachers founded a small dance theater (http://toygunstheatre.com/) which seems to have grown in the past few years, so the later is not unheard of.
A few weeks ago I found a working iPhone X on the side on the sidewalk. I thought about using siri to call a recent contact and try to get it back to the owner, but I found the language was set to Chinese (which I cannot read or speak) and I gave up and put it back on the sidewalk in case the owner came back.
In retrospect, I don't think I could have done anything even if the language was English apart from wait for the owner to call their phone. That said, I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions about how I could have been a better Samaritan.
For me, it's really about finding a balance, especially in the work place. Trying to look presentable without looking "sexy". Trying to look old enough to be taken seriously, but not so old I can't learn new things.
I don't think worrying about it is exactly a choice, when how I look will have real-life effects on how I'm treated.
I don't blame you. At a work holiday party a few weeks ago I ordered a cider and some got some rude comments because I ordered something with low alcohol content (what?)
>I don't understand what the big deal is...we should ban alcohol at these events because some people don't like it? I don't drink, I haven't done so since my first year of uni...it has never been an issue.
My experience not drinking in University was different. Occasionally people would get argumentative and angry at me when I said I wasn't having anything to drink that night. Definitely just some bad eggs but it sure didn't make me feel welcome.
it wasn't a full on ban, but I do remember drama a year or two ago when Tumblr banned LGBTQ+ content from their safe search. This was also eventually backtracked.
I don't think its enough to actually learn language on its own, so it's best used mixed with a more formal method of language learning. It's fun and addictive enough that I actually keep using it, so that makes it good to me.
Every proximity based social media platform I've seen in the past (for example like a little and yik yak) has dissolved after the platforms became forums for harassment and solicitation of illegal activities. Mind you, those were anonymous.
From the female side, safer sex and pregnancy prevention can also get pretty expensive in terms of time and money. Getting on the pill requires multiple doctor's appointments, and the pill itself can cost upwards of $50 a month.
Just that could be a reason young women who have received comprehensive sex ed can't be bothered to try PIV sex.
