Party affiliation as listed on voter registration isn’t a loyalty oath either. It’s just a way of asking which primaries you want to vote in. You might as well pick a party with relevant primaries in your area whether you agree with their platform or not.

(Voter registration is public information and may affect which candidates and PACs send you mail.)

This phrasing is so weaselly you baited me into fact-checking it. Congratulations!

If the reward program profiles you as someone who buys coffee at $4.00, but not at $6.00, you’ll get coupons for coffee that the people who buy coffee every week regardless of price won’t get.

I think it’s Chaucer era.

I assumed the only reason we don’t already is because of the ethical issues with subjecting human women to the practices that make bovine milk economical.

This is just about patient copays, right? And AZN still gets to charge patients’ insurance as much as they can get away with?

So that’s where they all went. I haven’t seen those in circulation since I bought stamps from a vending machine.

Gluttons exist; their modern name is wolverine.

That’s what I did last time I was offered that choice, and my opinion of neither of them is any better today than it was then.

Your #1 is the etymological meaning of the word. For precise usage, there should be at least some element of #2, lest you inadvertently misclassify a misanthrope who hates everybody. That’s assuming you’re using a gender-inclusive sense of the word ‘guy’; anyone can be a misogynist.
