PC is what people call basic politeness when they don't wanna do it.

Respecting basic human dignity for outgroups is a core part of being woke, for sure.

By accident? Probably fine as long as it's not a pattern.

On purpose? No, that's shitty.

You can use any piece of cardstock. I used to cut rectangles out of cereal boxes and use those.

I think it does have to be cardstock or similar weight, though; cheese might not meet the requirements.

Five years is nothing, if you're both adults.

Five years is sketchy, if you're both students at a university. A graduate student or senior undergraduate dating a new freshman seems predatory, and often is.

Five years is appalling, if one of you is a child. A college student dating someone barely out of middleschool is more than just predatory.

I know many happy couples that have a decade between them, because the problem isn't a difference in age, it's a difference in position. Two adults with jobs and a full education are at a similar level.

Blame OP, she's the one who sent me back in time.

Unfortunately in that circumstance, I'd likely be a horrible vector for disease. Not much chance of survival if I spread devastation wherever I go.

Finding the best route is NP-complete. Finding a route is trivial. Finding a pretty good route is good enough for their purposes.

Also keep in mind they're not to much trying up find the best route between static stops as trying to minimize time between pickup and dropoff for a list of (origin, destination) pairs, constrained by staggered start times for the pickup origins. It's fundamentally a different problem.
