Also, those drops of pee dry pretty quickly. You've got to calculate how long it will take you to get back to your desk, the likelihood that someone will stop you and talk to you, and the likelihood that that person will look down at your junk. Take the risk, live life on the edge. If you lose, you can always say…

My uncle who lives in CT is very upset that they passed trivial restrictions on guns there. One of his big arguments is that CT lawmakers should only be responding to the problems of their home state, and there haven't actually been a lot of mass shootings there. It was just, you know, that ONE time.

Fun story: In my (usually quiet) 'hood last night a guy stabbed his wife to death, slashed his son who tried to intervene, and then unsuccessfully tried to kill himself. A gun nut would argue "See! When you deprive people of guns and they'll just stab each other instead" but I'm actually very grateful every random…

Yes, it is now the future and we are all self-absorbed assholes.

Oh my god the NOOOO! was the best part.

I disagree. I can't get enough of the fake game shows and fake talk shows. They are great vehicles for random celebrity impressions!

Oh yeah, there are other things going on to be sure. Recently things came to a head and I got her to agree to do counseling, so we'll see if that happens. Sincere thanks for the encouragement.

That "1914 generation" prophesy was a blast, amirite? I assume they've finally learned not to make specific deadlines.

To be fair, anybody who's ever on the inside and then decides to think for themselves is an "apostate" and therefore dangerous to talk to. Because they actually know what they are talking about, unlike the general public who don't have a clue what JWs actually believe. Because, you know, it's a cult. :)

It's a conditioning mechanism. The more you get rejected the more it reinforces that you are different from the rest of the world. It's not like the people blowing you off lay out some convincing argument about why they don't want to read your stupid pamphlet, they just say vague, polite stuff that makes them sound…

Well, there are other dimensions to a marriage as well, like friendship and economic partnership and parenthood. Those can be basically fine.

I already said this further upstream, but I'll reiterate it here. The no sex thing is like any other long-term disagreement you can have in a marriage, really. She wants to sell the house and move to Pennsylvania and I don't or what have you. You argue about it here and there and then you just get sick of talking…

Yeah, in my experience you have a few conversations here and there, and then if it's still not happening you stop talking about it. Getting shot down all the time isn't pleasant, nor is arguing your way into begrudging sex.

I am usually not one to whine about cyclists "flouting the law," but going the wrong way on an avenue is SUPER douchey. Baldwin is a menace who belongs in jail.

Although, to be fair, any music article on a general-purpose website can elicit incredibly stupid negative comments.

Haha, art. Two dealbreakers: Saying "That's not art." (Yes it is, it's just not particularly good art. Art is not a synonym for value and greatness, it means something else.)

Yeah, you could also argue that if you don't watch Fox News you can't really legitimately talk shit about Fox News.

Oh hey, that reminds me, worshipping "classic rock" is a pretty big dealbreaker. Especially Zeppelin, Pink Floyd or Jethro Tull.

Took a look at an old high school friends page and the only organization he publicly liked was something like Say No to the Ground Zero Mosque. Request denied.

ho snap that is topical
