Probably because people in the audience at the theater, symphony and ballet don't call each other "stupid bitch," at least not to their faces.

Good luck, and I hope everything works out. Take care.

No problem. Agreed, fuck Kinja.

Now you're just repeating yourself.

GTFO now. If she's not going to even talk to you, all she's doing is making you (and the entire family) suffer. You don't even have to make excuses to your parents. Just say that it's better that you leave and let things cool down for a while.

Losing an argument? Change the subject.

"But if you want to rely on lazy generalizations, who am I to stop you?" Actually, you're doing a pretty good job so far. Please, do carry on.

So Kevin Smith can't even make the mildest of jokes on Twitter for fear of setting off his rabid fans? Bullshit. He did exactly the right thing; he just told them to STFU. He shouldn't be restricted to talking about rainbows and unicorns because some of his followers are dickheads.

That was a well-scripted joke, and it wouldn't have mattered if the genders were reversed. Also in "Clerks 2," he has some guy committing various sex acts with a donkey. So what's your point?

Why do people freak out over this drinking thing? Her trainer asks her quit for 30 days (NOT permanently, not even for year, nor six months, nor 90 days; heck, even some months are more than 30 days) as part of a training regimen. How is that any different from, for example, the trainer saying to avoid fatty foods,…

"You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don't all bring you lasagna at work."

If you're otherwise satisfied with and committed to your trainer's personal fitness plan, why not just not drink for 30 days? That is just not a long time at all for a social drinker, and if at the end of 30 days there is no noticeable change because of your abstinence, you can go right back to drinking alcohol. If…

Hm, fun out together? Maybe you can tell her on the next telephone call that you're too busy to talk, but would love to hear about it the next time you get together. Rinse and repeat as necessary. If hubbie asks why you're screening the wife of your best friend, tell him. That might end up being a back-door…

Please go on, you are simply making my point for me.

If that's the case, try expressing that using words that don't make you sound like a Guido on a New Jersey boardwalk. The other admirers of Vivian Maier here have expressed their appreciation of her work in articulate terms which the reader can understand. For instance, your post could have said something like: "I…

Are you trying to make a funny? Being disdainfully too-hip? Or is this old-fashioned shit beneath your consideration?

Eggnog is great! If you leave out the cream. And the eggs. And the spices. And make something else with the liquor instead.

Is he allowed outside? It sounds like it might be pent-up energy from being indoors. Our cat sometimes starts acting that way and she gets plopped outside on the front porch. She usually comes back in a better mood. If she's meowing at the door it's a signal that she wants to go out, and rarely does she hesitate…

Proud for now. His new wife and child are probably in for an unpleasant surprise a few years down the road ...

If this were my (non-engagement) Christmas party and it got hijacked and turned into an engagement party when a bunch of diamond-emblazoned fingers showed up, I might have a similar attitude. I think she's photobombing, though; she is so totally perfect that it has to be a goof. (BTW, two seconds after the snapshot…
