Do the best shit you can think of , far away. (Trips to Europe are popping in this thread regularly.) After all, living well is the best revenge. And, if she should perchance call at some point: "Pardon me, what was the name again? No, I don't recall you ... "

(Sniff) All this cleaning today is making my allergies act up. (Snarf) Really.

When you did it, I don't think you were trying to give him permanent brain damage or trying to slice his scalp open, so it was more stupid than malicious.

She was probably worried that, if you didn't care about losing the guy to her, maybe she wasn't getting what she bargained for ...

I can't and won't try to justify it, but it's funny as hell.

Arselicking industry toady.

It doesn't suck at all; the guy got exactly what he deserved.

In an American prison he'd be shredded within days, if not hours. Without his guns and a bunch of helpless victims, he's a whiny little milquetoast who couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag. And the Aryan Brotherhood isn't going to idolize someone whose claim to criminal fame was to kill a bunch of (white)…

Your father's behavior was calculated (though probably not consciously) to make you feel like nothing. You should go live with your cousin, and never allow yourself to be put in a position where your dad has any power over you again, or the same thing will happen. And of course he's not mad anymore; you're beyond his…

There's a good autobiography by the lead singer for the Slits, at least it started off well. I only got to read the beginning before its owner spirited it off.

If you want to cut down a bit, do it. You will definitely notice the weight loss.

Better a good non-driving mom than a good non-momming driver ...

Especially if they last less than a year or otherwise end disastrously ...

"Hit and run" is a classic psychological ploy for people who want to slam others down without any consequences. If this woman is driving around town yelling at other parents for their perceived faults, she probably has some deep insecurities about her own child-rearing abilities. (I'd hate to be her kid: "Mommy, the…

Looks fantastic, and well worth an occasional cold neck. Until you knit your own, maybe you can borrow one from your godmother ...

The whole employment thing about "quitting to go play teenager" can be blamed on the abusive relationship you were in, once you get divorced and start looking for a job again. If you can't find a job in one place, move somewhere else. It's tough, but what you're going through isn't going to get any better: it's only…

It's your life, not theirs. Criticism like this is usually sublimated insecurity about one's own decisions. Good luck, and I'm sure you'll have a wonderful future having made your own choices.

The Internet is not private. If you post something in public, whether in a blog or elsewhere, it means EVERYBODY can see it in the whole goddamn Internet world. That's the attraction of it, and that's why people put stuff up for everyone to read. If you're unpublished and are working on something that you don't…

Japan's unique ability is that its units continue to fight at full strength even after taking losses. This is especially powerful in the small fights in the early game. Also, the powerful Japanese samurai swordsman comes into play fairly early. If Japan is not doing well now or at least in the near future, it…

There's already games that are approaching that: Europa Universalis has hundreds of nations. Admittedly, many are small and are just fodder for the larger powers, but conceivably any nation can rise to ruling the world. It hammers my relatively modern CPU, but it's still playable and goddamn it's fun. It's also way…
