Holy shit.
Over the past five months, Matthew Herrick says that 1,100 men have showed up at his home and workplace expecting to have sex with him. Herrick is suing Grindr, the popular dating app for gay and bisexual men, because of it. According to the complaint, Herrick, 32, is the victim of an elaborate revenge scheme that's playing out on Grindr's platform. An ex-boyfriend of Herrick's, who he says he met on Grindr, has allegedly been creating fake accounts since October 2016. The accounts have Herrick's photos and personal details, including some falsehoods like a claim that that he's HIV positive. The ex allegedly invites men to Herrick's apartment and the restaurant where he works. Sometimes as many as 16 strangers each day will show up looking for Herrick. In some instances, they are told not to be dissuaded if Herrick is resistant at first, "as part of an agreed upon rape fantasy or role play."

With regards to the two posts above, WTF is wrong with people?
Edit-I feel like I'm living in an episode of Black Mirror.
JR and I just finished How I Met Your Mother on Netflix and we were talking about a new show... I said Black Mirror because I seem to hear people talk about it a lot... I log on here and BOOM. You have proven my point. Thank you, Druid.

Please do not watch the first episode of the first season to start off. Save it for later, or never.

Two episodes done (yes, we watched Ep 1) and my only question is: is this a Twilight Zone reboot? A series of short stories?

My question is do you ever get character attachment? (For anyone else just catching the last few posts of this thread, we are asking about Black Mirror). The whole thing seems a little disturbing to watch. Reminds me of when we started Dexter, how he just seemed cold, emotionless, no personality and there was just gore. I can handle all that if there's good solid characters, but just the sick/disturbing disturbs me.

Black Mirror is a complete anthology series like Twilight Zone, yes. There are little easter eggs at times but the stories themselves don't cross over. They seem to take place in separate universes or moments in technological progression.
You might empathize with some characters more than others, but if an episode of Black Mirror doesn't make you lose faith in humanity and feel crushing depression, it probably wasn't a great episode of Black Mirror. There is no light at the end of that tunnel.

some of the easter eggs imply that some of the episodes take place in a shared universe, though

There is a girl who I went to high-school with that is trying to sell her Chris Stapleton tickets for this weekend. Asking for $125 each when you can get a ticket on stubhub for $70. I haven't even bothered to look, but I am sure you can find a ticket on Craigslist for around $50. I don't really care, as I am not in the area no more and I am seeing Ween this weekend...but it always cracks me up when somebody on Facebook or Craigslist trys to get more for tickets than what is being offered on a 3rd party site.

Something caught my eye out the window. A flash of light through my prism reflected probably from the windshield of a car. The sun hitting it at just the right angle to send it's light first to the prism and then directly into my cornea. Amazing! I am the only one who saw those photons, like they were meant just for me at that moment.
I look out my window and realize that everything out there is a reflection of light. Photons bouncing off of every surface, every detail and rebounding back into my eyes. And I am amazed by this simple thing. It's implications. I am amazed by history. Everything I see already happened and I'm just watching the reflection like a nearly instantaneous replay. This idea that nothing you see is actually in real time due to the fact that light has a speed limit and takes a measure of time for it to reach you has me in awe as I look out my window.
Perception is the only thing I can experience in "real time".

April 15 was the tax day deadline for most people. If you are due a refund there is no penalty if you file a late tax return. But if you owe tax, and you failed to file and pay on time, you will usually owe interest and penalties on the tax you pay late. You should file your tax return and pay the tax as soon as possible to stop them. Here are eight facts that you should know about these penalties. Two penalties may apply. If you file your federal tax return late and owe tax with the return, two penalties may apply. The first is a failure-to-file penalty for late filing. The second is a failure-to-pay penalty for paying late.
1. Penalty for late filing. The failure-to-file penalty is normally 5 percent of the unpaid taxes for each month or part of a month that a tax return is late. It will not exceed 25 percent of your unpaid taxes.
2. Minimum late filing penalty. If you file your return more than 60 days after the due date or extended due date, the minimum penalty for late filing is the smaller of $135 or 100 percent of the unpaid tax.
3. Penalty for late payment. The failure-to-pay penalty is generally 0.5 percent per month of your unpaid taxes. It applies for each month or part of a month your taxes remain unpaid and starts accruing the day after taxes are due. It can build up to as much as 25 percent of your unpaid taxes.
4. Combined penalty per month. If the failure-to-file penalty and the failure-to-pay penalty both apply in any month, the maximum amount charged for those two penalties that month is 5 percent.
5. File even if you can’t pay. In most cases, the failure-to-file penalty is 10 times more than the failure-to-pay penalty. So if you can’t pay in full, you should file your tax return and pay as much as you can. Use IRS Direct Pay to pay your tax directly from your checking or savings account. You should try other options to pay, such as getting a loan or paying by debit or credit card. The IRS will work with you to help you resolve your tax debt. Most people can set up an installment agreement with the IRS using the Online Payment Agreement tool on IRS.gov.
