Guys are creepers and dangerous until proven otherwise. It was for her security.
That's our world today.
If I were you, I would have struck up conversation with the friend too. If that's how the night was going to go, why pretend like it was still a traditional dinner date? Include everyone, let the panel judge you and hope for date 2.
Yay gender power structures...we aren’t a dysfunctional society at all. Nope.

25 wtfsClickhole (the new UpWorthy/Buzzfeed parody site from The Onion) has been hit or miss, but holy shit:
http://www.clickhole.com/video/if-you-grew-calvin-hobbes-you-need-watch-right-now-318
Very very NSFW. I have a feeling the combination of that URL and the fact that the video auto-plays is going to lead to some fun emails to whatever contact email people wind up finding. -

24 wtfsMeanwhile in Japan
In a controversial address on Japan’s birth rate crisis, Naoki Hyakuta, leader of Japan's Conservative Party, proposed stringent reproductive policies including banning women from marriage after age 25 and mandating uterine removal at age 30. The statement, made in a November 8 YouTube video, sparked widespread backlash across Japan. Hyakuta suggested that these extreme measures would compel women to have children earlier, thus countering the country’s declining birth rate.

24 wtfsWTF!!? FedEx put the driver on unpaid leave after they made him deliver on the same route for two more days until he had a panic attack.
The same route. They forced this man to work the same route on the day after he got shot at and high-speed chased by a couple of rednecks in a truck. Unpaid leave!
FedEx is a huge piece of shit.
Also fuck those cops. 8 days of fucking around before allowing the racist would-be murderers to turn themselves in.

https://www.ign.com/articles/inside-activision-blizzards-week-of-reckoning
“A source who has since departed Blizzard talked about how the room designated for breastfeeding didn’t have locks. “Men would walk into the breastfeeding room. There was no way to lock the door. They would just stare and I would have to scream at them to leave.” IGN understands that breastfeeding rooms have since been updated, with locks added to doors.”
There is a lot more in there but man oh man. I just can’t even comment on that one any further. -

24 wtfsBBC: China approves bear bile as treatment
China has approved the use of bear bile to treat critically ill coronavirus patients.
The National Health Commission has recommended the use of Tan Re Qing - an injection that contains bear bile, goat horn and herbs - to treat patients with Covid-19.
But there is no evidence the mixture has any medicinal value.
Bear bile, which is produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years and fetches a high price in the illegal international market.
The move to approve its use has angered animal rights activists and comes just weeks after the country banned the sale of wild animals for food.
