Don't base your understanding of online dating on what Vanity Fair says 21 year olds do on Tinder. Turns out 21 year olds are just as terrible as they've always been. Most people are still just people, even on a dating site, and are not obsessing over their pictures or messaging other connections on dates. They just

My fiance's plan was to take me hiking and find a nice spot. Unfortunately the path he picked turned out to be the Bataan Death March for all of the frogs in the area. How often can I retell this story without risking divorce?

Pretty great. We bought a pickup together last weekend and we're 2/3 of the way through setting a wedding date (month & year sorted!). My professional life, on the other hand…

How are you going to get better at these interactions if you avoid all of them because you're out of practice?

I read this a couple of years ago and it was quite good. It's a republication of a 1957 memoir about running a gay bar with contemporary commentary on the historical and cultural background:

No, an ad hominem argument is telling someone they're wrong *because* they're an asshole. Telling someone they're wrong and an asshole is just calling them a wrong asshole.

No scholarship myself, just a strange love for America's forgotten amendment.

Oh, I completely agree. I found the Warren for Prez stuff so confusing - she's great on regulation financial services, so she should take a job that has practically nothing to do with that?

I don't get the impression that Warren wants to be VP. She's got a pretty good position in the Senate.

Slightly off there - it's been referenced, particularly as a support for the right to privacy, it's just never formed the basis for a major opinion.

That's not what ad hominem means.

Does your roommate have a FWB?

"Chump don't want the threesome, chump don't get the threesome."

I don't think so. I'm not a sober person and I found it sad, too. How many hang ups do these people have if they all need to be drunk to have sex? Alternatively, are they drunk all the time?

On second thought, never mind. I have a hard time believing you're discussing this in good faith. People who make this argument rarely are. Have a good day!

"Take on" makes it sounds like they argued at length in court or something, rather than what actually happened - a massive criminal conspiracy and domestic spying operation.

I don't think he's blackmailing Cruise - they seem to genuinely be friends. And Cruise gets everything he thinks he could ever want from Scientology.

It's setting them back among the one non-white constituency they had any chance of making inroads in (Latinos), which is really going to screw them over as the overall population shifts towards being less homogeneous.

Eat around the banana - it's just empty vitamins.

Awesome. No-plans staycation weekend with my fiance culminated with him moving in. (This was planned for next month and then we realized there's really no reason to wait.) Also he came with a cat, so I have a pet now! The weather is beautiful here right now and both my teams won yesterday.
