Interesting, I didn’t know these were edited. You should put a link somewhere to the full versions of the letters, so anyone who is interested can see them. Minus anything identifying of course.

I think the causality on this is probably reversed. He’s no longer all that interested in the relationship, so he’s gone back to his hobbies. In this case, that happens to be gaming, but I’ve been in relationships where things had more or less run their course and I was suddenly spending a lot more time playing music…

Except the whole idea behind pickpocketing is to take advantage of that kind of overconfidence.

Wow, you’re just . . . awful. You encroach on a natural area, then whine about nature. After destroying what I’m sure was gorgeous land, you begrudge others the ability to do the same crappy thing you did.

This is going to work right up until the day the click becomes a habit, after which you’ll end up wondering to yourself whether the “clicking,” you remember was from today or yesterday.

I think people were buying a ticket then reselling it to someone standing at the theater, achieving that oh so sweet ten dollar profit.

. . . you seem fun . . .

Deadlines are a b**** when you’ve got writer’s block. Better luck next time.

Now, is it technically cultural appropriation if you don’t have the necessary skills to steal it?

Hate it when people do that. “That one is one me, now lets get over it.” Nah, just acknowledging that you messed up doesn’t make it go away. You’re stuck dealing with the consequences of that lie, one of which is that it is going to make this entire situation way harder to navigate.

For the record, I agree with you. Just because there’s much more interest in, and many many more flights to Mexico, Canada, and Europe, that’s no reason not to include Africa.

Solid list but I gotta pipe up and say that the only group who is as screwed when approached by the police as blacks is deafs.

I’m wondering if that isn’t a punctuation issue. If it isn’t “I owe the company 40% of my salary plus a percentage of the [redacted] years on my contract.”

First paragraph:

It’s about the contract they’ve signed, not standard employment law. Still not fair, but it’s not as though this is how it works if you, to use Nick’s example, work at Walmart.

A lot of good ones on there. I’d add MMO’s in general, WoW being the obvious one. They want a big player base, so the minimum requirements to play are really really low, but the high end of what the game can look like if you have a gaming rig is often pretty extreme too.

No doubt, but I suppose it could happen to anyone.

I can get on board with most of these, but sometimes the way something is said matters. An obvious example would be “whispered,” if it’s important to the story that only certain people hear something.

Should have told her earlier. Obviously, it’s too late for that advice, but this is a deal breaker for a lot of people out there. Short of maybe abortion, it’s about the most contentious ongoing issue in the country, and you’re trying to sidle your way around it.

Waxed hemp the stuff you use to seal wood jointed instruments, for me it’s bagpipes) makes a great cake/soft cheese/pie cutter. It’s easiest to use if you wrap it around the handles of wooden spoons first to save your fingers.
