Hey, thanks! That actually means a lot. I totally agree - monogamy isn’t for everyone. But lying to keep someone focused on your needs, while not worrying overmuch about theirs (and focusing mainly on your needs as well) is really garbage behavior IMO.

“I don’t like the concept of monogamy, but I DO like letting my wife believe I do so she’ll be home with a hot dinner waiting for me at night, keeping the house clean and parenting my children so I have plenty of time and mental space to obsess about what else I deserve out of life.”

I once had a girlfriend buy me Bengals gear because she thought they were my favorite team. That was her other boyfriend. And that's how I found out she was cheating. Fuck the Bengals.

Holy shit seeing people born in the ‘90s complaining about decades of futility really makes me feel old.

Besides, “good enough” is pretty much the high-water mark of excellence in Cincinnati. Cleveland is a dump, but at least it’s lovable. No one pities Cincinnati. And no one pities the Bengals, who are both shitty AND dirty:

I don’t know, whenever I’ve had a handful of a woman I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly.

On the last story you have the last paragraph as the first paragraph.

Pinkham’s Law - every fucking time.

Mental health issues can be terrible. You inevitably feel like it’s you vs. yourself.

Bryan’s story reminds me of the time when I scored my first double digit (ok, ok, first double field goal) game in elementary school. I was so excited and I came home and told everyone, because fuck if my family would come out on a weekend to watch their nerdy kid play sports and you know, make friends or build…

Pizza Hut ads in the 90s were super strange. Does anyone else remember the one starring Gorbachev where all the patrons are arguing Russian politics but then they all agree that Gorbachev is awesome because he brought Pizza Hut to Moscow?

You’re this close to freedom. Don’t stop now!

The Jets had, like, six yesterday.

I am learning you can never go back again to the childhood innocence. Because of Ozzie, Bernie, Dixon, Mack, Perry and Minnifield I loved the Browns as a boy. Maybe that day when Dan Patrick announced the Browns were moving was the day that all ended. I have tried to hold on since 1999, but honestly, I watch more…

Well, since she’s the one who’d be getting the abortion, it’s really her personal beliefs that matter in this situation, not yours, isn’t it?

Now he’s just jacked.

It’s not just a religious preference. It would be ridiculous to ignore the emotional baggage that could come from the choice to abort or not. I’m not religious, but I personally would never be able to abort if I found myself pregnant again. We’re all different like that.

I don’t think it’s that shortsighted. He was set to make $585,000 this year, and assuming he now is forfeiting the $600 for the plane ticket (and would’ve surely received remuneration absent the punch) brings the total to $585,600. If we assume lost future salary of, say $1 mil a year for say 10 years (being quite…
