No way man. Not talking and calling people out is the reason there are so many problems in this world. If someone can't handle "real talk" about their weird/shitty behavior, nothing changes. Confrontation (tactful, and mature when possible) is the way of getting shit done.

I wonder if this is because as people get higher up in their work, they have to learn to manage others, which they may do well or poorly. I worked for someone who was an awful, manager — more concerned with micromanaging me then effectively taking care of her own duties, and it was insane. What that said to me is —…

I sometimes feel that way around people, and what I've learned is that 1) occasionally I am wrong and need to look at things a different way, and 2)I need to chill the fuck out. Don't get emotionally involved in drama that doesn't have anything to do with you. Mind your own business. This attitude does wonders!

You're argument is based entirely on the idea that one should have to choose not to have a family in order to have a career, which I think is pretty ridiculous in this day and age. You may be someone who never wants kids, but not everyone in the world is like you, and that doesn't mean people should be punished for…

Same here. Sometimes hanging out and watching tv with someone will end up leading to sex because it's an excuse to hang out with and get close to someone, but once the sex starts, my mind is all there baby. At least if it's someone I'm actually into. Never once has the conclusion of a tv show entered my mind while…

I was going to write a reply that contrary to the author saying that the excuses for not wanting to have sex have something to do with the partner in question, sometimes the excuses are real and really only have to do with the person making them. I sometimes don't feel like having sex if I'm too drunk, because I know…

I am soooooooooo confused by people who don't take socks off for sex. It's like — we're about to free our bodies in the most exhilarating way possible, so why would you want to keep your tooties confined in hot bags? So weird. It feels so GOOD to take your clothes off.

Sounds like you should write it!

Not to mention when, or how. I respect vegans, but I feel like an inordinate amount of time is either spent finding the food they can eat, or cooking it themselves (if it involves baking, etc.) But maybe that's part of the obsession. You're happier being obsessed about the precise ingredients then you are about…

I love you.

This looks awesome. Also, so true of relationships between some older and younger women. I worked for a woman who was old and threatened by my youth and intelligence (I guess? I'm not beautiful or anything by any means). No lesbian advances or anything, just passive aggressive anger and harassment. Hopefully this…

Bitches like that are crazy and horrible — so glad you got away from her.

Emerson for the win!!!!

Oh man, that's priceless — being stoned and having to sit politely through someone else's fight!

And another note — is it really so weird that LeBron wouldn't really have anything critical to say about a life that he clearly enjoys? People who are generally happy and grateful to be where they are don't usually spend a lot of time biting the hand that feeds them. If anything, I think that speaks to a level of…

I thought this too. I think it's a valid piece, but the author was really mired in his own insecurity/cynicism about the big money, big time NBA world. I just got a tremendous lack of confidence, but mainly because this doesn't seem to be his beat — he obviously cares more about different kinds of "reality" (the…

You're point about the 70's oil crisis — maybe that's how the cars ended up there? If most of the cars are from the 50's and 60's, and sales were down in the 70's because of the oil crisis, might people have dumped their older cars there that they couldn't afford to keep anymore, or got European replacements for? Or…

I guess there was a Rapture in Belgium in the 1970's that no one heard about.

We're so dependent on stimulation now. Its interesting that the people in this study, and in some of the comments, say they need the stimulation to keep from feeling depressed. It makes you wonder how prevalent depression actually is in society, if people are just covering up their negative thoughts by keeping…

I'm an introvert, so I need moments to myself sometimes where I'm not really doing anything to prepare me for the stuff that I need to do that does cause a lot of mental exertion/anxiety. It's like I need to plan how I'm going to approach something so that I can get myself in the right mind set to handle everything…
