This is gonna sound kind of terrible, but well, I'm a Nebraska fan, and Nebraska plays Penn State this weekend. It feels to me that we should cancel the game.
nah, don't take this out on the players
I don't think the game's happening after tonight. At least, not at Beaver Stadium.

eh, I think things will be calmed down by the weekend
A couple years ago I was shocked to find out that my old high school science teacher - the best teacher I've ever had - had a sexual relationship with at least one of his students.
It never occurred to me that I should report this to anybody.
According to his facebook page he's still teaching.

yes, that should be reported. how did you find out?

One of my maths teachers started seeing a student (he was in sixth form though, so 17 or 18). Eventually, he dropped out of school and moved in with her. Then she kicked him out for being a deadbeat (from having dropped out of school). I presume that as she never actually taught the student in question, it was somehow not such a scandal?

3. Apparently i've reached the pinnacle of my childhood. The same cusp of my adolescence which is said to bring an individual into the awkward fledgeling years of not quite-adulthood. Don't get me wrong, I'm infatuated by the concept of being eligible to die in the armed services or serve a life time sentence in jail along with the fact that my record will become indelible. It's just something about all of the conotations that come with the number 18 that scare me out of my fucking mind. December First of the year twenty-oh-six will be such a tragic unnerving celebration for me. Maybe the severity eludes you, but this may also be because the proximity does the same. I'm considering that there is a kid, no, he's a guy because he's 18, that became the mayor of some frivolous town. Think about that, in my entire life I will not accomplish what that fucker did by the 18th year celebration that's less than a week away for me? Fuck that. There shouldn't be a celebration, without an achievement. Losing, although I do it exceptionally well. . .is not something to be proud of. That's what i've done. I honestly believe that every word anyone has presumed to be intelligent to come from me within the past two or so years has been absolute drivel. Drivel of the highest, most asinine caliber fathomable. In all seriousness, I do not believe I have learned a single thing since I was about 15. I haven't accomplished a thing. And I sure as hell never managed to mean a thing. When I turn 18, i'll be burying a whole lot of dreams. Yeah, they've been dead for a long ass time but there's something comforting in the husk of an aspiration, it's a much easier thing to live with than a ghost. I guess i'm not going to be fortunate enough to die a day before I turn 18. (Note: People still care if you die before your 18. . .you're not a statistic, a life lost under 18 is still a tragedy as opposed to a natural occurence.)
I couldn't even pull off being a minor. . .talk about discouragement.

4. The car. Basically despite it being a piece of shit, it's the nicest piece of shit I have going for me. I need an easy way to make it faster but there isn't one. Manual transmission + Turbo = well over 4,000 dollars. So I really, really don't want to start leaning in that direction. Too bad the wind is fucking stalwart. Yes what i'm saying is, I would spend everything I have just to have something that makes me a little bit less than no one, who wouldn't?
Like "He should just know" is a line I have heard spoken unironically in far too many instances.
while your point is received, there are some things you should know and if you can't intuit my basic expectations and feelings after we've known one another for a while and i've made an effort to understand and become receptive to your nuances- then yeah fuck you
Most people are terrible at communication and introspection. They often couldn't explain their feelings if their life depended on it.
It's kind of strange how relieved people are when you understand them enough to explain them to them.
This is kind of why I want to make that confabulation thread!
Because I honestly think that it's the truth that people don't really have any privileged access to knowledge about their own feelings and motivations. We're all just filled with drives and actions and we very often have absolutely no clue why this is the case.
the very fact of you being so completely unreceptive to how this person thinks and feels- i.e. what lead to them feeling this way- is oftentimes the greater offense than that you caused him/her grief in the first place
I just cannot imagine the appeal of forcing someone to play the guessing game with your feelings.
My ladylove is very open and honest with everyone. She is very, very direct.
It pisses people off like you wouldn't fucking believe.
I love overt brutal honesty.
Oh hell yeah. It's part of why I love her so much.
But it gets her in so much trouble she's started asking me for advice. That's why I was looking for that video on indirect communication the other day.

while i'm angry, at least
Yeah, I suppose I get your point.
But I think there's definitely got to be a limit to how much you can expect someone to intuit about your emotions no matter how close you are to them.

True. Part of it is that a lot of people go into relationships hoping to find a mate with certain highly desirable traits, including those associated with romance, such as a deep psychological mutual understanding. Fairly few actually get anything like that, and it's frustrating as hell.

well yes obviously if you're walking with them and you wave at an old friend and it turns out she is furious because that old friend was wearing a blue jacket and that was the color of her ex's car and he broke her heart... fine.
but too often this entire caveman-ish complaint- JUST GIVE ME THE PROBLEM SO I CAN FIX IT, I DON'T WANT TO BE INTELLECTUALLY OR EMOTIONALLY ACTIVE IN OUR RELATIONSHIP- is because of something ridiculously insensitive and preventable.

So, old people don't exist? :P
what?

Or people with kids...
Men and women reduce their lifestyles and sexual behavior on a regular basis, often voluntarily.
get some chocolate!
not me, dogg
yes, that should be reported. how did you find out?
Are you even old enough to rent a car? :P

are you 70 now
why are you not getting this
it's casually sexist comedy- of course it's not ubiquitously true
but for me his male comment resonates very much and is an accurate characterization of my sex life
that is all
you goddamned butt
I have been 70 forever. You know that.
it's actually about men with normal weiners but tremendously huge balls
hey, man
i got remotes
this wireless trackpad
a wireless mouse
vibes
i need them shits
Any time a comedian talks about women expecting men to figure out how they feel about things on their own. The whole "it's fine" bit.
So many women I know do it and it is so incredibly aggravating, even when I am not the clueless man (or other woman) in question.
I am all if you are upset you fucking tell him.
I just cannot imagine the appeal of forcing someone to play the guessing game with your feelings.
Eh, I do that. It's not a desire to play games, it's a desire to not burden other people.
My ladylove is very open and honest with everyone. She is very, very direct.
It pisses people off like you wouldn't fucking believe.
It's not the part where you hide your feelings.
It's the part where you hide your feelings and then get pissed off when other people don't figure them out.
every hour or so it dies and i take out the batteries and switch their position
it works surprisingly well
it first died like 6 hours ago and it's working 8)
but obvs i need some batteries

Ugh, I have a blog somewhere. It is super embarrassing.
Though it almost got me laid.
