I was born and raised in Rhode Island and had the accent typical of that area (well, one of them anyway - there's a difference between someone from Cranston and someone from Fall River). I moved to Texas when I was 15 and almost immediately set to work eliminating my Northern accent, because high school kids suck. But…

Nailed it, lol

And for the love of all that is good and pure, STOP responding to those ridiculous Facebook "games" that say things like "To learn your perfect stripper name, post the name of your favorite gem with the name of the street you grew up on!" because congratulations, the name of the street you grew up on is an incredibly…

GameSpark, which co-hosted the Xbox One live stream with Inside, uploaded one of the only photos I've seen so far with people lined up for the Xbox One. This was taken at Yodobashi-Akiba. According to GameSpark, there were seven people lined up right before the door opened at 9:30am. Mainichi, however, uploaded a…

So instead of paying $2.50 for 5 cents worth of iced tea, you're spending $2.50 on 25 cents worth of iced tea ;)

You're getting - and will continue to get - a ton of people putting you down for this, but I'm actually with you (in spirit at least). I simply don't like shorts. I would always, always rather wear pants. Problem is, I live in south Texas now. For the first couple of years I was here, I was wearing pants year-round.…

That is a great idea. I will do that. I wasn't aware there were regulations in place.

Low Budget Means Low Tech

God forbid someone whose first language isn't English try to fucking communicate with you, AMIRITE? Here:

I thought ASL was Age/Sex/Location.

Hodor.

I haven't been a fan of any specific team since the mid-90's when my interest in football started waning as I became interested in other things. When I started becoming interested again many years later, everything had changed so dramatically. I haven't been a fan of any one team in a long time - any sense of loyalty…

I want to like the Dolphins. I really, really do. They were my team growing up in the 80's - and given that I was living in New England at the time, that wasn't easy. But I can't like the Dolphins. There's just way too much to hate about them. It's the kind of situation where you just figure the best thing is to fire…

"save money = stop spending" is far too simplistic. Nobody can stop spending. We all buy food, gas, utilities, at a minimum. All this does is round up the purchases you're already making, for whatever reasons, and save the change. It is not meant to change behavior because it does not assume - as you seem to - that…

You're absolutely right. If I implied that we should all only ever think about others, that wasn't my intent. There needs to be a balance. I'm just really tired of people writing 2,000 word screeds that boil down to "do whatever the hell you want because you're awesome and nobody can tell you differently because you…

Nah :) I just don't try to bury it or kill it with fire or whatever. I listen, and when it makes sense, I obey. It hasn't always served me well, but it's kept me out of trouble plenty of times.

Frankly, I think the world could use a little more "I care about what other people think of me" because that's part of what makes us civilized. You know who really doesn't care what other people think? Assholes. People without filters. People that speak their minds no matter the time or place without considering the…

Come on, you know better than that. This is the internet. People are incapable of calming down. Nobody in the history of ever has read "this is just a joke, so calm down and enjoy it as one" and actually done so.

What an absolutely cynical way to look at it. It's rather depressing that you're also almost certainly absolutely correct.
