You’re engaging in a pissing contest about who is the most desperate. It’s not a good look.

I was working some place a couple years ago that relied heavily on interns. It was around the time those lawsuits came out in favor of the unpaid interns at some magazine. The company realized it had to actually start paying interns, and because of that cut a couple interns for the next semester. And I’m think someone…

If that was true, then nobody would have called me garbage for choosing to not get married again.

you actually think being the type of guy who doesn’t want to continue a relationship that fails to meet the other person’s needs is something that’s not good for you? If so, you’re a horrible person who clearly has no regard for your girlfriend. She may as well be a couch to you.

Goodness you’re dense. You keep responding like people are bothered by you not wanting to get married, when the problem people have with you is that are a-okay with being in a relationship that doesn’t meet your partners stated needs and wants. You’re a coward or a self-involved ninny who can’t comprehend that your…

I had been hoping the high prices were the result of a bad growing season. I guess I’ll get used to the price, and buy a couple every few weeks rather than a couple every week!

You know, considering how darn easy they are to bruise, I would have thought if there were a growing demand in China, someone would start growing them closer to China. But of course, they’re probably rock hard when they are harvested, so what’s trip to China?

I guess I can offer this insight as someone with a bit of a temper (which I got mostly under in my teen years and early 20s) and having experience with a couple of folks who don’t have it under control: it’s not unusual to take out your temper on people who are low stakes to you. Family and really close friends seeing…

That’s everyone’s definition of decent. Or rather, everyone who isn’t a self involed narcissist who can recognize that the other person in a relationship actually matters.

He and his ilk will insist though, that no one is being lead on since he’s been upfront in his disinterest in marriage. Never mind that only a fool would ignore people often harbor hopes that they’ll be the one who changes their marriage avoiding partner’s mind.

Nonsense. I haven’t given her a pass. She’s not here. She’s also not the garbage person — oh, pardon me, the tool, selfish prick, coward — who is perfectly fine being in a relationship that meets her needs, while at the same time being fully aware it doesn’t meet her partners needs. That’s a morally reprehensible…

Haas avocados have been hovering between $1.75-2.25 a piece all summer long at my local stores, so I don’t think I’ve had one in months. Increased demand in China can’t be responsible for that, can it?

By this logic, they’re both garbage people.

Well yes, not all differences are reconcilable. The stakes are pretty low when I disagree about with my spouse about the paint color for the bathroom. We also don’t care so much about the paint color to end our relationship over it.

Decent people don’t stay in relationships that meet their needs but don’t meet the needs of the other person. When you actually care about someone, sometimes that means leaving them. Especially when you already know the incompatibility is going to lead to a break up. Decent people also don’t need this explained to…

I am as smart as I think I am. I may not be as smart as you think my perception of my intelligee is. A high school drop out could have spotted the logical fallacies up thread. It was no great intellectual feat to pick apart those lame arguments. That you assume someone doing the picking apart must believe themselves…

I encourage you to look up the word diatribe. A sentence by sentence retort is not a diatribe. It is effective for my purpose, which was to highlight the logical errors, and critical thinking failures within the post. Finally, if it’s too exhausting for you, please consider not attempting to read something too taxing…

Arguing with me is pointless, yet here you are doing it.

What long diatribes? Have you failed to note the majority of those posts are quotes from walls of text posted by some dude who appears to have had his precious feelings hurt by someone pointing out that staying in a relationship he is comfortable with while knowing his partner isn’t getting what she wants makes him a…

Duh. Responding to myself instead of someone else.
