I’m experiencing so many conflicting emotions right now. Horrified, amused, enthusiastic, resigned…

There’s smoke coming out of my ears, and I smell a burning clutch from constantly shifting gears.

The worst was also the funniest. An earthquake hit while I was on the toilet.

As well he should.

I’m glad they accounted for mountains. Otherwise, this would seem unrealistic.

Simple, short term pleasures, abandoning of long term plans, and taking comfort in the fact that I have not (and will not) bring children into this world.

Smartass remarks aside, you have my sympathies.

Oh, Texas. Your power grid is an endless source of amusement (for people who don’t have to rely on it, of course).

I had to keep reminding myself that it’s August, not April 1st. This is asinine.

People who don’t know/acknowledge the difference between “free speech” and “hate speech”

I thought I read something last week about Twitter and Google kissing and making up. Am I misremembering the story? What’s going on?

Mostly what I feel is gratitude. Personally, I don’t have the skills, technical knowledge, or free time required to run even a small instance. I know I’m relying on the generosity of others, which makes me much more tolerant of delays, glitches, etc.

The details of the affair aren’t their business, but the fact that it happened definitely is. She didn’t just betray you; she betrayed the entire family. You made the right choice. They were old enough to understand, and they deserved to know the truth. They deserved to know that their mother could have handled things differently, but was willing to destroy their family. Even divorcing instead of cheating would have been better. She’s just mad because her kids know what a piece of shit she is, and she’s taking it out on you.
