  You’re a gay fish?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨my fling and I are opposites but very compatible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely appreciate the comment.

  I’m bicoastal in two gigantic cities and counterintuitively that likely exacerbates the problem.

  I would love to be with someone “age appropriate” (hate that term) if they align with my lifestyle. I’ve probably encountered that less than five times.

  Maybe I’m immature? Midlife crisis? I don’t think so and my therapist is brutally honest - she doesn’t see any red flags. I’m choosy about those with whom I share my time and I’m probably overly conscious that there isn’t an unhealthy power dynamic (as is common with larger age gaps.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨my fling and I are opposites but very compatible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve done the Cyclades as well. Mykonos is definitely the same vibe I’m describing. Finding someone my age who prefers a late night at Scorpios over an early morning at a farmers market is not as easy as it sounds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨my fling and I are opposites but very compatible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is where I’m at now.

  I’ve never married. I have no children nor do I ever want them.

  I’ve been what many would describe as “successful” in my professional life.

  I have modest personal wealth which allows me to travel far more extensively than most people.

  In the last few years, I’ve started dating an age pool that many of my contemporaries consider “too young.” Not even close to the age gap that our dear Violet is describing, but enough that I’ve gotten the eye rolls and comments and “sugar daddy” accusations.

  The women I date have college degrees. They have independence. They have their own money. Many are entrepreneurs, as am I. Almost all, like me, can work remotely from anywhere that has internet access.

  A vast majority of women my age are not interested in the lifestyle I want and have. I’ve found it to just be far more rare.

  Younger women are more likely to be aligned with me politically. My experience is that women my age are more likely to have the old pension mindset rather than entrepreneurial mindset.

  Can I find someone my age that shares my values and lifestyle? Absolutely - but I’ve found that pool is far, far smaller as you increase the age range.

  I’ll take the eye rolls and comments if it allows me to go to away at the last minute for a weekend in Ibiza or Saint Tropez whenever I choose. My childfree ass will take that over visiting her grandkids any day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there ever a situation where a doctor can legally refuse to render aid to someone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In the US, doctors are obligated to treat patients in immediate need of care (in a professional setting - an emergency department, for example - not just walking down a street.) They can’t discriminate against patients for non-clinically relevant reasons (race, gender identity, etc.) They CAN refuse care if they lack specific skills or the patient is “abusive.”

  HOWEVER, these are ethical obligations (I pulled that info from the American Medical Association’s Code of Medical Ethics.)

  You asked about legal obligations.

  I am not well versed in doctors’ legal duty of care - laws are not consistent across national and local jurisdictions.

  You also used the word “aid” so I am approaching it from an emergency context.

  In a professional setting, there are limited reasons a medical professional could refuse emergency care where the immediate outcome is death. Perhaps someone with more legal expertise could direct you - I’m only familiar with ethical constraints.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[US] I'm hesitating launching my own business because I'd lose health insurance for my family. What are my options?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  This is what I do as a business owner. Buy insurance from the marketplace.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants to ride a zeppelin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  So what you’re saying is we should expect Elon Musk to start a zeppelin company at some point in the near future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact you are even asking this makes me think you’re not a psychopath or sociopath.

  A (psycho/socio)path would probably not be introspective at that accusation. They would probably just dismiss it or be angry that someone could even think that about them.

  I am not a therapist or licensed to diagnose someone and no professional would/could ever diagnose someone without meeting them and interacting.

  I would strongly suggest seeking out a therapist. I am a huge proponent of therapy for everyone - everyone needs an impartial party to talk to about things, even when things are going well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surely there is no way that this could... backfire⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  This is purely a guess but I feel like the people who do this are probably also more likely to get into an accident where the airbag would deploy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  At least in my state, if your employment is terminated for poor performance, the employer can deny unemployment insurance claims. If you’re just laid off, they must pay out unemployment insurance claims.

  By blaming the victim, the company saves money. It’s such scumbaggery.
