The site seems to be down for me. Can someone describe what's it all about?

People can host others at their home for a meal. Every prospective host is vetted by Cozymeal before they can host a dinner. People pay to attend the dinner. Cool concept that seems to be picking up steam. Recent dinners were hosted by Michelin Star rated chefs.

Site is still down, but the facebook page has more info: https://www.facebook.com/cozymeal

You can view one page here:

Hopefully the site will be back up soon :)

I was using Avast for years before that but then they started showing ads and other BS so I decided to let it go.

Everything is so flat. But I like it tho. :) Simple and cool.

Pretty much only the douche things he says gets the media's, or HN's, attention

No, his statements that wind up being called douchey are the things that catch the mainstream's attention. When he was speaking to initiates, he wasn't being douchey, because describing him as someone who says douchey things is an invention of the mainstream.
