I certainly was, twenty years ago. Haven't had a drink in over ten because I have a problem with alcohol. Not everyone I partied with was an alcoholic, but nearly all of them were "problem drinkers" who couldn't regulate themselves.

"You're working three jobs to put your kids into decent schools...so I'd like to give $5,000 to charity in your name."

I'm that way about Tanya Tagaq, who is topping all the lists here. I understand she's an artist and she interests people, but my subjective tastes veer wildly away from what she does.

One of my Elderly Relatives asked the waiter to pick the peas out of the carrots and peas. He did it, because he's a nice young man, and now she thinks this is normal restaurant behavior and does it everywhere.

Given that 90% of my Kinja blog is complaining about parents, I'm sort of glad I have no readers.

They'd probably shoot the plane down and my office is really close to the potential crash zone. But then again...that secretary has been very annoying...

And therein lies the rub. Without a whistleblower, you don't get the kind of access to look for that information unless you sue. And when you sue, people rally against unfounded suits because you don't have proof.

As for using the UFC name, it probably depends on if they are arguing it's a "kleenex" situation where "UFC fighter" is diluted to mean "MMA fighter" in the general population. I haven't thought about that kind of law in ten years, so I don't fully know. Either way, it depends on whether they are trying to keep their…

It's like I want a write a "Dear Cops" to try to explain my view, but I lack the words to do it in a productive fashion. I know "criming while white" has met with disapproval but the fundamental question of why there are such disparities needs to be beaten about their head and shoulders until there's something…

Your first question touches on the whole myth of welfare reform and the idea that making poor people (of any race) go to X places a week to look for work will get them a job. The same educated white people are still saying that the poor just aren't trying hard enough.

I'm in a weird place because my casual grinding and a couple lucky engrams has put me five levels up on the friends with kids who don't play as much in my fireteam. I can't get into the crucible. Frankly, I can't understand what I'm doing wrong as I die constantly and can't stay in the game long enough to learn how to…

I play casually and have some respect, as a failed writer myself, for the backstory being filled out in grimoire cards. The in-game story, though, is very thin. As someone that plays solo most of the time, I'm finding my interest waning because there's less I can do on my own other than repeat the same story missions.

I'm a very casual player who just likes to do bounties and battle aliens on occasion. My main beef with the game, other than plot holes, is the mechanics seem to take it away from storyline games and more into raids/crucible emphasis. I realize I may be in a minority, but I like one player missions I can do on my…

While I actually delight in the tears of neighborhood Bills fans, I don't see the offense as subpar enough to damage them. They don't have the quality of defense of the (01?) Ravens championship team, but the quality of offense is about the same in my view. Their main problem is that they got competent at the same…

Not enough Jaxxon.

doesn't mumps cause sterility in adult males? I thought I remembered that fact from somewhere.

if I hadn't caught autism as a child, I'd find this very funny.

This is the best episode of Behind the Music I've never seen.

Thanks for this. I'm terrible at most games and never really got into WWF/E games, but I was a fan for a long time. Benoit was my favorite wrestler. It leaves me feeling quite odd because something I enjoyed for so long is now forever linked to these horrifying deaths; Seeing his legacy, for good or ill, discussed…

How'd you overcome it?
