I’m sad for you.

Is it a halfway decent alternative if you don’t have a smoker, or are too lazy to use one?

Do away with using wood chips and go to chunks, it’s a longer and more even smoke then burning through chips every 20 minutes.

No, I’m sorry, that’s not bbq. Ribs, sure. But not bbq.

This to me is the biggest bummer about the X.

This might be a little annoying to get used to, but it’s probably for the best. Holding your smartphone too close to your face can cause eye strain and even headaches, according to one study. So in this case, maybe Apple does know best.

Based on what I know of personality disorders (I have one), I would wager the real her IS a sketchy male jerk and that her depression/aggression stemmed from her inability to take her relationship with Alex off of the internet without revealing she’s a sketchy male jerk baseball bro in a teenage girl shell.

This is so meta. Teen girl needs to adopt male alter-ego to be taken seriously in baseball journalism, but adopts male alter-ego of a sketchy jerk, gets busted.

I was reading this story an hour or so ago, in the waiting room for my therapist, who specializes in gender, sexuality, and their intersection with personality disorders. I showed this to her and she just got a confused look on her face and goes, “yeah, that’s a stumper.”

Dammit! You really hurt me. Are you even Canadian? I want my nude pics back.

Like Becca, I would like to apologize to everyone for perpetuating a fraud, as I am neither French nor from Montana.

+1 Came here for the Te’o joke.

Yeah, but what’s her take on a 4-3 defensive scheme with Manti Te’o at the Mike?

There’s far too many gender issues in this story than one could unpack in ten lifetimes.

Yeah pretty weird to be like “Ah I was just a kid when I was emotionally manipulating people into sending nudes to me.”

She really doesn’t seem to address the abuse and coercing these women to send naked pictures. A lot of “I felt trapped” but not a lot of “I was really shitty to these people for no discernable reason.”. The deceit isn’t the worst of her actions, but it’s the only one she’s addressing.

Wow, your comment sums up so much of the misunderstanding around FI. Frugality = not buying shit you don’t really want and has little to do with finances. Its not about being unable to buy something, it is about choosing to not buy something (because you know your own wants).

That still sounds like the same advice to me. You weighed your desire to reproduce against the extra 14 years and made your choice. You aren’t depriving yourself of 14 years of early retirement, you are benefiting from your choice to enjoy a lifetime of mini-Knoz’s.

No, my mistake—it should be HSA, haha. Autocorrect. I’ve updated it.
