Of course they aren't. Blaming "men" is just as stupid as blaming "women," and I'm not suggesting anyone do that. Ultimately, it's everyone's job to take responsibility for their own lives, including their lack of a romantic partner.

This can happen, even to nice guys who really are nice. It's not as simple as feeling like you're "owed" a fuck. It's got a lot more to do with self-confidence and not portraying yourself as a "datable" person.

You don't have to ask to parody something. That's why we call it "fair use."

Because Barney and Macy's are the ones alerting the police to intercept the shopper outside the store, challenging their right to have legally purchased something they just legally purchased. This isn't the cops randomly stopping someone carrying a belt, or a bag. It's a tag-team intervention.

Here's what happened, at least at Barney's.

According to the Encyclopedia of Arda, the primary purpose of the Ring was to dominate the other Ringbearers, but it had substantial secondary powers.

Yes — and more. I think we can draw some firm conclusions as to what powers the Ring(s) granted in end-game.

I thought the implications of Frodo taking the Ring were that while it gave him power, it gave power according to one's initial capability. So Frodo had become something greater than he was, but could not have become a Gandalf, or a Sauron. While he might have wielded the ring to force the Nazgul from him momentarily,

He must've served them faguccini.

Are they all short parallel lines? Maybe that represents "doses?"

I'm not claiming they do. I'm making the point that "hours worked per week," is not the sole measure of difficulty. 12 hour shifts are harder than eight hour ones, on many people.

Myrna,

Pay your employees more, and they don't need to work so much.

"He," "It", "Thing," and "This one."

I doubt the comedian stood up and said: "Hey, "He, it, thing, and This One," could you come here?

Comedians use humor — sometimes raunchy humor. True enough. But there's a profound difference between poking fun at a group (particularly a group you yourself belong to) and poking fun at one, specific person.

Well, you know what they say. Sarcasm, sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from a troll with that opinion.

As a straight male: I don't let anyone use tears as a weapon against me.

This reminds me of something I've read before:
A slut is a woman who will sleep with anyone.

Ahh, memories. I had a friend DM a Ravenloft campaign so artfully that we became terrified of a peaceful forest clearing. He rolled a few dice, then:

Chelleking,
