It’s definitely a new one for me. I grew up with stories about Satanists being metal fans who cannibalize virgins on top of tombs. Clearly they were my allies all along!

“The Satanists seem totally cool”

I am really digging the Satanists these days. I’ve been a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster for years now, but I’m considering converting.

This story is bringing out the absolute worst in anyone.

Matthew 6:5

Well, he must be relieved that he can now ditch his “jury-friendly nerd” costume and return to his original “lax bro” look.

I had an ex that all of my friends hated. All of them. I basically had no friends left when I finally left him b/c he was an alcoholic, drug abusing cheater. Surprise, surprise.

I think it also says a lot if your SO acknowledges that his/her douchecanoe friends are douchecanoes. My dude has a friend from high school that, I hear thought I have not met, is a generally terrible person in some way. My dude continues the friendship knowing that and because some of it is entertaining. Douchecanoe…

There are exceptions to this of course, but I do feel that if all your friends do not like your significant other there is usually a reason. It can be really hard to see glaring red flags and sometimes even mis-treatment when you are in the throws of lust/whatever and there’s usually a reason your friends don’t like…

Yeah - if there are 7 guys in a friend group, and 6 of them are major douchecanoes, I find it hard to believe that the other guy will be a total sweetie.

For me, having a SO who has friends I don’t like isn’t a dealbreaker. People don’t always get along, and shouldn’t be forced to. So long as it isn’t ALL of their friends. EVERYSINGLEONEOFYOUISANASSHOLE may be a pretty clear sign that that person is not right for you.

Sometimes broken clocks are never right:

OKAY BUT EVEN A BROKEN CLOCK IS RIGHT 2 TIMES A DAY

But....but....it’s their RIGHT! It’s their birthright as men. Of course they are entitled to a woman. They’re men! The world promised them a woman, dammit!

What am I missing here? I’m trying to figure out why these guys are obligated (or deserve) to pair up with anyone at all. I mean, it sucks to spend their whole life alone but....you know, it sucks.

Except, as in all things, women don’t benefit in any way.

If the situation were reversed you know men would be crowing about how single women should compete for the prize of attracting a husband, and telling wives to be extra-attentive to their husbands or risk being traded in for a younger model. But because there are more men than women, it’s the women’s obligation to meet…

There was a really great comment about marriage in last week’s episode of The Affair (which is appropriate or ironic, depending on who you are): “A house, it’s like a marriage, actually. You’ve got to be in it for the long haul if you ever want to see it come together.”

Yep. Seriously, battery. battery. battery. battery. That’s it for me.

...We don’t need revolutionary anymore, we just need our devices to do what they already do...better....
