Princeton is a scary place if you felt more judged there than in Kinja.

Stop honking! I know I’m going 60 40 in the left lane, but I’m filming DOUG DeMURO for the INTERNET. He’s the most famous guy on the internet videos!

I don’t mind them restoring the ones they did as well as not restoring the others - their creation, their destruction, and their restoration or not are all part of the history. I’d rather own a restored millionth and be able to look back on the destruction as a great story as opposed to having a destroyed car with a…

I come to Gawker simply because all the writers seem to have just arrived on Earth from some retarded planet and they all take the absolute most batshit insane positions on things. I’m certain it’s the Evil Gawker Overlords demanding stupidity for page clicks, but it’s a lovely, daily trainwreck of journalism.

Thus, tater tots are NOT French fries. If they were, they’d be called tater fries,

What?

There’s no excuse for this kind of aggression.

We both started slowing down when the light turned orange.

No. He said “the miles may be on the high side for an exotic at 44,000, any Corvette worth its salt at this mileage is barely broken in.”, as in “if this were an exotic, that would be high, but it isn’t, so the mileage is not high.”

Tonight while talking with friends, I told a story that I thought was rather amusing. Not hugely funny, just amusing. When I was done, they stared at me and said “why are you telling us this?” I said “It was kinda funny.” “No, it wasn’t.”, they responded.

Your story about typing “cum” into a game reminded me of this.

(names changed) When I was 19, I started seeing the 18yo GF of a HS friend of mine, Jenn. She initiated, he and I weren’t good friends, she was hot. One night she pages me (lol.90s.911.911) when I’m out with friends. I’m annoyed and call, and all she says is “Kim’s here, I think you should come over.” “No, I’m out…

I appreciate your perspective.

They can be different things. Similar to physical fitness - for some it’s just pain, for others it’s pleasure, others it’s passion, and for others it’s various combinations.

And I wish it were as easy as your 3 benchmarks. What if it’s not a skill that you are trying to improve? I touched…

1) Everyone needs to work to survive. Except the Kardashians. And keep in mind when I say “everyone”, I don’t mean actually every single person - I mean the vast majority, in general. Your first sentence makes me feel you are talking about hobbies - something you don’t do to survive, but something you do because you en…

That’s awesome. Sincerely, congrats.

Now that was 4 years of struggle. (I assume - you didn’t say “struggle”, but there usually is some.”) Now, what if this were 2018 and after 7-8 years you still haven’t made headway, a profit, or actually see success in sight? And what if you were actively losing money all this time…

I understand. But it still essentially boils down to the same thing. How many men had a passion for coal mining 100 years ago? How many have a passion for it today? Not all men have the luxury of pursuing a “passion”.

Yeah, when I tried to maintain drawers, I ended up first just throwing everything in and “would organize it later”, and then that devolved into just throwing everything onto a bench and I “would throw it in the drawer later, then organize it later”. Now with dedicated toolboxes and bins, I lift a lid, toss it in, and…

A close friend had one from 20-26. 10+ years later, he still hasn’t fully lived it down.

No one is looser than a qitter.

I agree in theory, and I don’t disagree much, but the reason only reason I didn’t star lucky’s response was because it almost reduces the decision making down to “am I having fun”. It seemed like a very millennial way to approach it. Yes, passion and enjoyment are important, but not everything should be reduced to…

Only if you promise to never reciprocate and are always conveniently busy on the rare occasion that I need help with something.

But this is the problem - a person specifically asked how to know when to quit. This is a very important question. The response was don’t quit - success is just around the the corner. This whole thing is the internetization of question answering - you don’t answer the question, you just tell a story that happened to…
