It's almost as if zealotry is the problem, not your metaphysical beliefs?

What's this, you say? An atheist zealot is being an ASSHOLE?!! My word!

I'm pretty sure the bit on "Louie" with the roundtable about the f-t word was him changing his old shitty habits.

"They're all taking drugs with me," is dumb as a sack of rocks, and I have no problem with the sentiment. Bernard really needed an editor.

The thing that made '80s New Order so awesome was the way the paranoia and rigidity of Joy Division bled into upbeat dance music, or a bunch of Mancunian mooks idea of upbeat dance music.

This was not my experience. At all. It wasn't like you would have been shunned, but liking Elvis was at best an old-fashioned quirk.

Ok. A year sounds about right to deal with all those things.

Just like Movie Cancer in "The Fault In Our Stars," which more resembles a chronic cold with breathing tubes, it's cool how you can go from being comatose on life-support to choosing which cute boy to hook up with at Julliard with no permanent disabilities, brain injuries, chronic pain, or even a long recovery period…

A 17 year old in 2014 was born in 1997. "I Wanna Be Sedated" was released in 1978.

Or maybe the cultural touchstones of teenagers should be things that were made for them in their lifetime? I could basically believe that a high school "rock star" would be inspired by a Blink 182 song or something, but there is something really pathetic about a writer/screenwriter who has a 17 year old parrot baby…

And this is why cracker will never be equivalent to the n word.

Well, sounds like you need to talk to your wife about why she turned the offer down. Because her mom was staying at your place? That sounds like a pretty outstanding reason. Because it's probably not a great idea to decide to jump into a 3 way at the end of an evening without any pre-planning or discussion between you…

Wait, you, your current fuck buddy, and this other coworker are all on the same project right now? Tread carefully, friend. This is the stuff of nightmares, but also 3 ways.

Just a guess, but being her being in her late 30s she probably likes the idea of making this inexperienced younger man be unable to contain himself. Sort of a seductress vs. innocent thing.
You're going to be fine. Your friend really deserves a medal, in addition to all the head she can take (right?).

Science tells us that I'm 70% less likely to even listen to a favorite artist if they form a group called "The [Name of Famous Artist] Band."

The kind of dingus that follows PUA methods really does think that they can learn to hack women.
"Seduction" is a weirdly old-fashioned concept, too.

Right. You could basically look at it as a huge favor: they spared you the awkwardness of a date that wasn't going to work out.

Brick was soooo good, and a huge part of why is that it could have been soooo bad.

Wait, why would the Nick character be the drug dealer? Gatsby made his money bootlegging.
