Because vaccines worked too well, in a sense. My generation has never had polio, measles, mumps, small pox. We’ve never even really seen the effects of wide spread disease. So these idiots think we don’t need them and for some reason don’t trust science. They trust things like GOOP.

No kidding. I don’t eat at my desk to look like I’m busy. Shit, even when I’m NOT taking lunch at my desk, I don’t look busy, so who am I fooling? I eat at my desk because there’s literally nowhere else to eat. I read while I eat, when I’m done, I kick back and keep reading until my lunch is over.

That’s why I eat at my desk. Sitting in the cafeteria watching golf or HGTV is not my idea of a fun time. Meanwhile the internet always has something going on.

You are automatically at fault if a cyclist runs into the door you opened in The Netherlands and Belgium.

That idiot: “I’m moving next month.”

Neighbors: “Oh, thank God you decided to fuck off on your own.”

I would imagine a much bigger problem in Austin is that you guys banned Uber because you’re insane and insist on living in the 20th Century instead of joining us in modern civilization.

When in Rome, Do As The Romans Do.

If you are hypersensitive to noise, New York City is not the place for you.

Get the fuck out.

This shit is happening everywhere. The people with money move into the areas with hip nightlife, and then complain that said nightlife makes too much noise.

Same thing in Melbourne, Australia. People moving in across the street from live venues that have been there for 35 years and filing suits to the council about noise. Seriously: fuck the fuck off back to the suburbs.

Did you read the posters above describing the concept of people coming into a historic neighborhood with long-established, cultural norms, and then trying to change those norms to meet their preferences? Race/gentrification/ social issues have everything to do with it. Colonizers/Columbusers/Gentrifiers frequently…

Similar to you, we have had 3 area race tracks forced out. One of which was quite literally 7 miles outside town when it was built. After 40 years it finally lost the good fight. People move near loud businesses, knowing that it’s going to be loud, and then force them to close over their stupidity.

Laguna Seca is seeing the same thing. The track has to curtail a lot of their events because people built new houses near it, then complain about the automobile noises.

I actually hate the ice cream truck in my town, because it drives down my street full speed, playing the damn song, without stopping. I don’t know where it does stop, but ain’t anywhere near my house. So I’m stuck with Pavlovian desire for ice cream, and I can’t buy it.

People move to the country and build a large house then start bitching to the health department that the pig shit fertilizer is making them sick.

If you’re gonna move to our neighborhood, you’re gonna conform to our way of life. Not the other way around.

It’s a fairly gray area from my perspective, depends how far you go. But first of all, let’s just get something out of the way. Racism is hating a group based on their genetic race. Do you start to identify yourself as part of that culture, even though you’ve never spent that much time within that culture? That’s…

“Say, does that rag in the trunk smell like chloroform?”

Well, regarding these reviews there, it’s usually what they call “a co-dependency dance.” A narcissist/psychopath seeks out someone with co-dependent features—low self-esteem, weak personal boundaries—and pounces. This doesn’t justify what the narcissist does. On the other hand, though, being a co-dependent…

Why I’m skipping this? From two reviews on Amazon regarding Jen Waite’s recently released memoir.

There’s a lot of overlap between “psychopath” and the autism spectrum in terms of empathy. The inability to read the emotions of others can create all kinds of unintentional pain in relationships, when you legitimately love and care about someone but simply can’t give them what they need.
