Misandrist Duck posted:Gawker musta got spooked. Expect A Gentler Valleywag In 2015 hahaha, that article unironically links to this one http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2013/08/silicon_valley_s_richest_people_why_they_re_the_target_of_gawker_media_s.html quote:Second, let’s aside these mitigating factors. Mayer bought a $33,000 playhouse—so what? What’s wrong with a wealthy woman spending a tiny fraction of her riches on her kid? Is it really newsworthy—any more newsworthy than, say, a wealthy person taking a private jet, sending her kid to private school, or buying an expensive car? Biddle didn’t elaborate in his post, though on Twitter, he argued that “buying your kid a play mansion is obscene, period.” But Mayer’s $33,000 playhouse wasn’t even the most expensive structure at this year’s auction; several sold for more than $50,000, and the top-earning playhouse, a replica of AT&T Park, went for $101,000. (The list of other winners isn’t public.)

the defense of that playhouse auction too. it has nothing to do with charity, it's just the .1 buying more unobtainable poo poo and not a single penny extra was spent to acquire any of the playhouses

I grew up in a family with eight kids and two adults in a 1280 square foot 3br 1ba rented duplex.

LA achieves its high average density by having an unusually sparse downtown and an usually dense set of suburbs. by contrast, new york and chicago are hyper-dense at the core and very diffuse at the edges. the average density is lower than LA even though the peak density is incomparably higher

that works on the flipside too - are 3 out of 4 'single mothers' really just not married and there's a man in their lives who's helping raise the kids e: i'm not arguing the numbers as much as the concept

families are messy things and have been for most of human history. it would be really cool if civil unions were completely split from the concept of marriage such that it would apply simply to people who live together and want to efficiently comingle finances

Misandrist Duck posted:Gawker musta got spooked. Expect A Gentler Valleywag In 2015 I dunno, I would be happy with less lascivious "gossip" stuff and more "hosed company" stuff. Valleywag has the right idea and the right target but I definitely think who's loving who, regardless of whether or not it's a perfect microcosm of silicon valley's hosed morals, should be left to its own business so long as it's consensual. Shine all the lights on Uber sexual assaults but Eric Schmidt's sex dungeon I could care less about so long as everything's consensual.
