To be clear, there is nothing sad about the jobs themselves. Anyone who is gainfully employed and not living off of the government/mom/significant other should be respected.

I have no doubt that your repeated stints at 7-11 and your current gig as a WaWa manager (good sandwiches, FWIW) support the lavish lifestyle you describe. None at all.

Your un-ironic recounting of your career as a convenience store/retail manager as though it is a badge of honor is the saddest thing on the internet today.

In my mind, dominant metas are only an issue when they are: (1) boring to play against; and (2) take no skill to employ. Take the Night March deck in Pokemon TCG. A monkey can execute the strategy, and the other player is forced to sit there for minutes at a time while the Night March player feverishly puts cards in…

As I tell my wife all winter, God put it there, it’s up to him to take it away.

Not only will you lose if you play it as a military simulator, you will be bored as there are long stretches where warfare is logistically (and sometimes actually) impossible and the combat isn’t anything to write home about. Anyway, the first time you murder your mother and inherit an entire kingdom…

The Crusader Kings deal caused me to click on the link, which then caused me to buy more DLC, which will in turn result in many more lost hours of my life. Damn you, kinja!

Fresh Market spicy guac is delicious, and I generally agree with you on the pre-made store guac.

Crusader Kings II. Why can’t I quit this game? Such a time suck, but the desire for one more duchy overrides my better judgment.

Hamilton Nolan - perpetually your 19 year old cousin who just got home from his first semester in college: hates everything except communism.

I love pork belly, but it’s something that can be very bad when not prepared correctly.  I’m not sure I trust the ex-cons at my nearby Arby’s to give this meat the respect it deserves.

Someone bought a BMW based upon what others would think of them? Stop the internet!
