You were also probably electioneering, which you definitely shouldn’t do, even though I agree with your politics

The book was excellent, by the way

Exactly the point here. Let’s force people to allocate money in a way they don’t want AS A GIFT BECAUSE WE’RE NICE!

Cash is superior in every way

To quote you Lindsey, you deserve it

Holy shit, was that a Frequency reference?

I do love German humor

That’s not a meme

That’s the movie that introduced me to Elliot Smith!

Oh, you ARE an asshole on purpose. This all makes much more sense

Hi, man here. I obviously can’t speak for women, but I can answer your question from my perspective.

“Girl” is a term used for young, inexperienced, non-adult female humans. When you call an adult woman a girl, you imply that she, her thoughts, and opinions are juvenile, and therefore are not to be taken as seriously as those of an adult. It’s called “infantilizing” and is disrespectful to that women, and realistically to all women.

For a moment, imagine you’re with another man you don’t know and when you say something, he contradicts you and begins to address you as “boy” or “son” in his response. His intent is to diminish you as a person and make you feel small, inferior or less a man or expert as him.

Now, I don’t know what country you come from or if English is your first language; this cultural aspect can apply to other English speaking countries, but specifically I’m talking about the US. One could certainly be forgiven for speaking English as a second language or not being from the US and not knowing this specific thing. I hope this helps.

I just put myself in that scenario and had the thought “man, what if she’s flustered about something else, and having a rough day in general, then I go and swoop in and basically accuse her of being poor in public. She’d feel terrible and I will have made her day worse.”

You would have walked out of there feeling like shit in two of the three ways that could have gone. Don’t beat yourself up over it; clearly you’re empathetic and care about people. That tells me you DO act when it’s appropriate and you do want to be a positive force in this world. Congratulations! The world is better with you in it

No, but maybe I’ll find out when you hand me your driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance like I asked…

I live in a city where most popular bands tour, but I definitely would travel internationally to see a show just to make a week out of it. I was considering going to RAtM when they were in Europe, because I couldn’t get good seats in the US. I definitely would have gone if I could have gotten better seats in Europe. Alas, couldn’t get good seats there either

I haven’t seen it a million times (3-4, maybe?), but the word “flibbertigibbet” lives in my head rent free

Oooodelolly!

Seriously. He has a significant body of “work” on which to draw from. Like almost a decade of televised rambling, hip shot word salads…

I’ve only rated the velvet underground and nico album one star because I personally don’t consider it actual music. Because of that, I have a hard time rating music I “just don’t like” as one star because it’s recognizable to me as music. So, I rated this one two stars.

I was surprised to see you rated a Clapton album so poorly because I like him (musically) quite a bit. We have really different tastes, and I think it’s cool to know there is stuff that absolutely is not for me that is a five star album for someone else

Really? Wow.

New one for me: treasure by the cocteau twins

I watched the Challenger disaster on the wheelie TV cart

That’s funny. It’s a play on an album name and motel 6
