I can’t say what was or wasn’t against me, but I know relating it to family has been incredibly difficult. There is a very unsophisticated “work hard, do well” idea that I’m glad I was brought up with, but that doesn’t translate fully into the professional world.

Burnt out lawyer here. White, but from the trailer park and was supposed to be the “saviour” of the family, pulling them all out of poverty. Now my job sucks, my guilt over not being financially well off enough to support elderly parents ate through my stomach, and I’m treated like a failure by my family because,…

Yesterday, I heard an old relative ask someone, out of the blue, if they were watching (when friend had run inside to use rest room at picnic, nonetheless.) Old then proceeded to rant about how disgusting this was and that it was everywhere and couldn’t be avoided. Missing, of course, the point that he’d brought it up…

His quotes are like an exam problem in identifying logical fallacies.

More surprising: Seabass still kicking for Raiders or Seabass not in prison?

You sound like you’re doing awesome.

Who’s down with OPP?

It may be because I’m a child of the 70s, but my parents never took me anywhere to “practice” me being around people. They had shit to do and sometimes they took me, and I had to behave. A lot of parenting back then wasn’t top notch, but “Laendyn needs to cry it out so she can learn to be around people” is about as…

You’re the persecution complex that sees unreasonable hatred cast on your child. Why? Because you can’t teach her to behave in public?

My response is solidarity will be short as I have to leave now for lunch, because OH summer people in my town drive 20 mph everywhere and half my lunch hour will go to getting from point A to B behind a coasting Mercedes.

Nope, this is completely your fault. Parents are too busy being the most wonderful people on the planet and rearing Dysteny to be the most creative person ever, so you’re at fault. As a person working in a store who has been yelled at by parents for trying to move children away from knives, cars and discourage shelf…

Umm, yeah. You’ve got a victim complex. You showed up to make it all about your special snowflake and the discrimination and just plain ol’ meanness toward the most giving and loving and giving and loving people ever, parents like you.

My childless take: I don’t care if it’s a “family” restaurant. Try to pretend you’re a human family and not some socially maladjusted form of primate. Just because it’s Applebee’s and the table wipes off easily doesn’t mean Junior can draw on it.

I applaud you. You’re doing it right, in the opinion of a childless bitter shrew of a man.

I’m not sure they need a superstar coach with star power. JK is like a top college coach with recruiting, because he can get Germans to come here, but we haven’t seen anything about tactics or talent evaluation. You can turn a German team loose and they’ll still win, but the US team needs a youth soccer coach to walk…

I’d hate if Mex won the whole thing as a shitty team, but the Mex/US playoff for the Confederation Cup slot that would follow could be fun when the Mexican fans start throwing cups of piss at Michael Bradley.

This, Albert, may be the best thing you’ve ever done. It’s got a touch of Magary in it, despite him being warned about touching people, but the anger work.

Dinklage isn’t getting any younger and who else could do Puck?

I don’t have a good answer to that, even as someone that was a huge fan as a younger adult and still watches on and off. Some of it is the kitsch and the ironic good times, some of it is the “male soap opera” thing, and when it’s done to my personal preferences with a low dose of weird storylines and more “this is a…

Warren Moon could probably start for this Titans team.
