  • Next time you want to bitch about everything Trump taking legal years:

    My case is about 5 years old now, I have been going through the legal process the whole time I’ve been working on this. I have finally been found guilty and sentenced, and I’m going away next month.

    In other news, legal insurance is about $26/mo. Arm yourself. (And it’s not just for suing people or defending criminal charges. Having a legal opinion a phone call away, or a letter written, can be life changing.)

    Guys, let me explain this weirdness. The woman usually expects you to lead, make the decision. You don’t ask, you tell.

    “I know! Let’s go to $restaurant!”

    Here’s the part where you’re expected to have a modicum of social skills, be able to tell if she likes the idea.

    No? State another option. Don’t ask, state.

    “Not liking that? OK, we’ll got to $restaurant2.”

    Rinse and repeat.

    Relationships require social skills, sorry guys, it’s true.




  • My mother was one of the most ignorant people I’ve ever known. Clueless, uneducated, proud of it, assured she was right about everything.

    I remember her cursing her bad teeth due to lack of fluoridation in Depression-era West Virginia. I remember her telling me what a miracle the polio vaccine was, and how scared she was a child before it came along.

    One time I asked my great-great-aunt, an old woman living on a Civil War-era farm, why the moon was round. She explained gravity and how it pulls the moon into a sphere.

    And somehow, it this wondrous age of free information, we’ve collectively become more ignorant than these people. And it fucking enrages me.
