TT poll: We all know "I like your hair" and "Your hairstyle is cute" are compliments. But how about "Your hairstyle is unique"? I say no. - mara Apr 8, 10:15 6
- "Unique" doesn't comment on cuteness. -- nm - Amy Apr 8, 10:29
- I think the choice of words might also reveal an underlying subtext that says "Man, I wish I had the courage to do that." -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 10:21
- "It's really . . . something." -- nm - pmb Apr 8, 10:18
- It's a nicer way of saying "ugh." -- nm - JaxSean Apr 8, 10:17

- I nominate Garthe Knight - Strongbad Apr 8, 10:15
- He was no Garak. -- nm - David Apr 8, 10:15 3
  - Garak was more grey than a vilaain -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 10:16 2
    - He was like Garibaldi, or Boyd Crowder -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 10:23
    - agreed. He was a villian (Obsidian Order FTW!) but came to understand things differently -- nm - Remlik Apr 8, 10:22
- agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 8, 10:14

- Like, if they decide to be a bitch? Yes. -- nm - Amy Apr 8, 10:25
- yeah, I more or less had to "break up" with a friend because he was getting heavy into drugs and it was impacting our relationship. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 8, 10:22
- The only time I think purposefully did was when a friend was talking bad about a mutual friend. - sycor Apr 8, 10:18
- No - I refuse to be judgy with friends - Epiphany Apr 8, 10:18 2
  - ~ this is wheeeeerrre the party ends... ~ -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 8, 10:20
  - I would have a very hard time with the one in your IM. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:19

- I have, and didn't regret it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:14
- I did, and I really regret doing so. :( -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 10:14
I've got $20 at Cold Stone for only $10 from Living Social. But I can't tell if it's *only* my local Cold Stone. What does it say when you link below? -- (link) - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 8, 10:11 3
- 112 Oakway Center, but you're right, it doesn't specify that location only. Usually they do. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 8, 10:13 2
  - my Marble Slab was for 2 locations only - I bought it anyway -- nm - Epiphany Apr 8, 10:28
  - According to Fatwallet, there was a Cold Stone offer on Groupon in Lakeport, Ill. that was that location only. -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 8, 10:16
Strongbad: our Relay is April 29 - 30, too. - JaxSean Apr 8, 10:11 2
- We have 1 Captain, and department level heads - Strongbad Apr 8, 10:13 1
  - I'm our "team" captain, but that's just by default. It's my family and the ACS rep. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 8, 10:16
Masters (spoilers) - CQ Apr 8, 10:07
Perhaps it's cause I don't follow boxing, but I had no idea that Wladimir Klitschko has a PhD and speaks five languages. (nm) - musubi Apr 8, 10:06 13
- and is a giant boxing pussy. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 8, 10:13
- maybe it's because i don't follow boxing, but i never heard of wladimir klitzchko....nm - x Apr 8, 10:07 11
  - Dating Hayden Panetierre. (nm) - musubi Apr 8, 10:09 10

      - and approximately three feet shorter. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 10:12 4
        
        This strikes me as more extraordinary than the age difference - JD Apr 8, 10:18 3
        
        You get used to it. -- nm - David Apr 8, 10:19 2

- I can do that. - musubi Apr 8, 10:06
re: hax chat from b2, you have to respect his decision for sure, but it also provides cause to reevaluate why you're in a relationship with him. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 10:01 14
- having kids is a deal breaker. there's no compromising. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:02 13
  - and looking at your attachment to the idea of having kids is part of that. - znufrii Apr 8, 10:04 9
    - sounds like he did. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:04 8
      - or he just a knee-jerk reaction to the idea as it became more imminent, and she quickly went along with it for the sake of their relationship - znufrii Apr 8, 10:06 7
        
        knee jerk? that's a lot of assumptions. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:07 6
        
        you say that like using assumptions to decribe a possible scenario beyond the information given is a bad thing. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 10:09 5
        
        I like fiction as much as the next person, it's just a bit much. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:10 4
        
        it's no more fiction than every. other. time. we. discuss. one. of. these. scenarios. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 10:11 3
        
        When I do it, it's analysis. -- nm - loosie Apr 8, 10:13
        
        we have this same conversation every. time. as. well. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:12 1
        
        so why. are. we. still. talking. about. this? -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 10:13
  - someone should start a rent-a-kid company for just this type of situation -- nm - decline Apr 8, 10:03 2
    - its called neices and nephews -- nm - Epiphany Apr 8, 10:07 1
      - they're the best! -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:07

- what business is it of yours? -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 10:04
- Find a new friend. -- nm - David Apr 8, 10:04 3
  - Seconded. I would judge too harshly to stick around. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 8, 10:07 2
    - I'm not even joking when I say I wouldn't want to hang out with someone capable of something like this. -- nm - David Apr 8, 10:10 1
      - me neither. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:11
- they need to have a threesome -- nm - decline Apr 8, 10:03 5
  - that's your answer to all the chat questions -- nm - oblique Apr 8, 10:14
  - alternatively: The letter writer should eff the ex husband. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:07
  - *ding* - Epiphany Apr 8, 10:06
  - couldn't have said it better myself -- nm - CQ Apr 8, 10:04 1
    - the whores need to have a threesome -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 10:13
- You've brought it up, she ignored you. Bring it up again at your own risk. -- nm - Jim Apr 8, 10:02 3
  - Agreed. (nm) - musubi Apr 8, 10:08
  - Right. Stay sensitive to her moods, encourage her to expand on any feelings of unease, but just be there as a friend. -- nm - mara Apr 8, 10:05
  - Can't improve on this. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 8, 10:04
- Can you stop her? no. If her new lifestyle bothers you (which it would me), don't be friends with her. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:02
- depends, does she want to keep her as a friend? -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 10:02

  - Work rolled it out this week as a trial. I don't understand it. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 09:58
That psych test was moronic. - David Apr 8, 09:54 9
- I can't wait to findout which David Fincher film it's viral advertising for. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 09:57
- spoiler - mara Apr 8, 09:56 2
  - wHATEver. You're a bad linker and should feel shame. -- nm - David Apr 8, 10:00 1
    - I feel no shame for that! It was appropriate, interesting, and provacative! It was a good link! I just wish the triangles would stop lying to me. -- nm - mara Apr 8, 10:03
- That's just your prelingual reaction -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Apr 8, 09:55
- are you saying it's not a scientifically accurate tool? - loosilu Apr 8, 09:55 1
  - B. -- nm - David Apr 8, 09:56
- yeah, it should be "counsel", not "council" -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 09:55 1
  - You don't know that, perhaps David does keep a body of duly elected officials to make organizational decisions. (nm) - musubi Apr 8, 09:56
LYC: I must be doing something right today. - con_carne Apr 8, 09:53 2
- Still a good thing. Most married men know a few single women that they'd love to hook you up with, so they can bang them vicariously through you. - Dr.Vermin Apr 8, 09:58 1
  - or the married men are sending signals - Epiphany Apr 8, 09:59

- Which differs from the other 364 days of ST in no discernible way. -- nm - ty97 Apr 8, 09:58 1
  - I was told there'd be cake and ice cream. (nm) - musubi Apr 8, 10:11
- I really need people to do what they are suppose to do. Nothing more, nothing less - just the crap they get PAID to do! - Epiphany Apr 8, 09:58 3
  - This is my credo. Just do what you're supposed to friggin' do. -- nm - Diva Apr 8, 10:00
  - Lay off of mara, steve. (nm) - musubi Apr 8, 09:58 1
    - heh heh - Epiphany Apr 8, 09:59
- That's the shirt you're going to wear? -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 8, 09:55
- This then, is the thread where I complain that the Burger King near the freeway costs more than the BK on surface streets. - musubi Apr 8, 09:55 3
  - sure. I will also complain about the McD near the theater costs considerably more than the one by my house. By about $1 for value meals. -- nm - sycor Apr 8, 09:57
  - how do you pay half a cent? -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 09:55 1
    - Typo. $0.25 more. (nm) - musubi Apr 8, 09:57
- [deleted]
And then, there's this -- (link) - ty97 Apr 8, 09:50 20
- Meh. There's a million sites like this out there. What makes this guy special? -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 8, 09:58
- eh. I can understand where the guy is coming from. - sycor Apr 8, 09:53 18
  - Why would that possibly annoy you? (nm) - musubi Apr 8, 09:59 17
    - My basic thoughts. - Will Hunting Apr 8, 10:18 3
      - We actually speak more English now percentage wise than in the 19th century. Immigrants frequently kept their own languages. - David Apr 8, 10:22 2
        
        yep. i also think this is just broad brush crap that in no way reflects the nuances involved in a u.s. population of 50 million hispanics.... - x Apr 8, 10:25
        
        Maybe so, but I also don't think we're in a world now where hesitancy to assimilate should be - Will Hunting Apr 8, 10:24
    - I think it's more the fact that to me it means that the companies are catering to people that come here and refuse to learn english. - sycor Apr 8, 10:16 9
      - If I moved to Paris, I'm not sure if I would learn French. I think it would depend on where in town I lived. -- nm - David Apr 8, 10:23 1
        
        Hotkiss hasn't learned French or Arabic, from what she has said here. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:25
      - are they in the business of teaching English, or selling stuff? -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:21 5
        
        Indeed. No need for any consideration of society or its development in the pursuit of a buck. Glad to have you on the team. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 8, 10:25 1
        
        just when you had me convinced you were a capitalist. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:26
        
        if you're not part of the solution... by using spanish signs that allow people to continue with their self segregation. Why don't they have up signs - sycor Apr 8, 10:22 2
        
        they sell things. hispanics are the fastest growing u.s. populations. they use the other languages to market things to their customers.... - x Apr 8, 10:29
        
        Ever been to a neighborhood with other ethnic groups? They use other languages too. It's called knowing your customer. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:24
      - Yeah, assimilation used to be, you know, a good thing. - Dr.Vermin Apr 8, 10:19
    - Talking in languages other people can't understand is rude -- nm - Roger More Apr 8, 10:03 2
      - yeah, those signs in spanish are talking shit about you behind your back. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 10:07
      - come on, really? -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:05
The more the merrier. -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 09:48 1
- thats what she said. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 8, 09:49
Derek Lowe, bitches! - David Apr 8, 09:48
