Someone is jealous.

McIlhany sounds like he could be a poster on this site.

I know what you mean. Despite their many sins, the thing that makes me hate baby boomers is the way they made casual clothing so ubiquitous. I can overlook everything else, just not that.

If you spend a lot of time posting comments on a web site, it's unlikely you're an "important" person. True me, I know.

A nurse told me that strangely a nurse subreddit was one of the most psycho ones she found.
