  - I was dreading this type of swerve to the story. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 22, 13:59
- Yeah, he's way overthinking it and I think it's because he's scared. Also, he should get some grief counseling. It's been 7 years. - Trish Dec 22, 13:55
- Bro, you were doing so well until yor last paragraph. - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 22, 13:54
- he sounds sweet. that said, I think there's a good chance he's misreading it. -- nm - santa loosia Dec 22, 13:53
- I can understand why, but this dude is an over thinker. -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 22, 13:53
- he is way over thinking things -- nm - Epiphany Dec 22, 13:51
- In his shoes, I'd be intimidated by starting off with the 20 yr age gap. But I'd get over it. Because yo... - TFox Dec 22, 13:49 15

        Yep, she's 28, apparently enjoys kids and seemingly wants to see what the deal is. - Will Hunting Dec 22, 13:58 3
        
        Also, it's amazing the way that age gap gets smaller the older they get. - Trish Dec 22, 14:02 2

- Go for it man -- nm - amoxy Dec 22, 13:47
Serious question. And I know the dynamics of coming out to ones family is unique to each family, but would you maintain contact - TWuG Dec 22, 13:45 28 1
- Probably, just because I am already very lousy at keeping in contact with my very nice family. -- nm - Roger More Dec 22, 13:54
- Family isn't as all-important a pull as it used to be. - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 22, 13:51
- It's sort of impossible to answer, because my family would never disown me, so I'd need to imagine a different family. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 13:50
- My Story - MDH Dec 22, 13:50 22
  - This makes me so sad. I'm surprised you even subject yourself to family Christmas - ty97 Dec 22, 13:56
  - [deleted] 20
    - Thanks, as a perspective this is the e-mail my father sent me on my birthday. - MDH Dec 22, 13:53 19
      - Your mantra should become: "Just because they're my parents it doesn't make them good people". Also, tell them you're planning to adopt a crack baby - Trish Dec 22, 14:17
      - Wait. Were you doing drugs? Did you kill someone? Are you on the run? - JaxSean Dec 22, 14:11
      - so sorry. that is just awful. But you have your ST family now. -- nm - decline Dec 22, 14:07
      - Also, his usage of punctuation and capital letters is total bullshit. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 14:05
      - Good lord. I can't imagine what that felt/feels like. I'm sorry. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 22, 14:04

      - There are no words to convey how angry that letter makes me. - TWuG Dec 22, 13:58
      - [deleted]
      - wowzers. How can he be in that much denial? -- nm - ty97 Dec 22, 13:58
      - dang that is so rough - I simply can't imagine -- nm - Epiphany Dec 22, 13:58
      - good lord, dude. -- nm - TFox Dec 22, 13:56

- And those numbers are people that *admit* it -- nm - ty97 Dec 22, 13:52 3
  - You can throw in Republican congressmen if you want to bump the numbers up a bit. -- nm - David Dec 22, 13:59 2

      - getting slapped in bars can be sex I suppose. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 22, 14:07
- I would have guessed a much higher percentage for women. nm - Dignan Dec 22, 13:44 13
  - drunken coeds making out at bars for attention don't really count. -- nm - Diva Dec 22, 13:47 2
    - says you. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 22, 14:00
    - Oh, Diva. You're so delightfully naive. nm - Dignan Dec 22, 13:49
  - when they're banging two dudes a day, "frequent" could mean weekends. -- nm - Max Dec 22, 13:47
  - The criteria is something like "amount of intercourse during a given year". - David Dec 22, 13:46 5
    - I'm not gay by that standard. -- nm - Dano Dec 22, 13:48 4
      - let's face it, you've got a long, long long, long long way to go by gay standards. -- nm - Max Dec 22, 13:53
      - This is why you need Four Loko. -- nm - Diva Dec 22, 13:51 1
        
        [deleted]
      - I realize that. It's an imperfect quick calc. -- nm - David Dec 22, 13:50

nice picture...Sen Harry Reid returns West Point ring back to grad.... -- (link) - Remlik Dec 22, 13:42
in order for a production to be successful, audience empathy must be established for the protagonist(s) -- nm - crash davis Dec 22, 13:37 14
- --from the "How to Screenwrite for the mass public" - Professor Pixie -- nm - Remlik Dec 22, 13:41
- I had a ton of empathy for jesse eisenberg. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 13:40 9
  - No dumbass, that was the other bland white guy movie. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 22, 13:40 8
    - Michael Cera just does nothing for me. I just know he has sweaty palms, he slobbers all over you when kissing, he's always snorking back snot instead - Trish Dec 22, 13:46 1
      - "I want Channing Tatum to stop being in stuff" -- nm - crash davis Dec 22, 13:52
    - I have to say that after Social Network and Zombieland, Essenberg might have the longer career -- nm - Remlik Dec 22, 13:41 5
      - I'll say that I think that Eisenberg could have done Scott Pilgrim, but I don't think Cera could have pulled off The Social Network. -- nm - Dano Dec 22, 13:44 3
        
        I'm not sure either one could have pulled off the other's role. I do think Eisenberg is much more talented. -- nm - David Dec 22, 13:48 2
        
        I think Eisenberg's acting a lot more than Cera in their chosen roles. - Will Hunting Dec 22, 13:49 1
        
        scott pilgrim spoilers - Beryllium Dec 22, 13:50
      - They'll both be around for a long, long time. nm - Dignan Dec 22, 13:42
- This is fun and all, but I request the usual spoiler alerting for this film. Thx. -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 22, 13:39 1
  - my post is for almost every movie of a fictional nature -- nm - crash davis Dec 22, 13:45
- *roots for everyone else to kill Michael Cera* -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 22, 13:38
Wait. How did David find out the hotel manager / porn star connection? - JaxSean Dec 22, 13:37 2
- Someone mentioned here for Where the Boys Aren't or No Man's Land or something and I googled her. - David Dec 22, 13:44 1
  - heh. Nice. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 22, 14:02
Unrelated: The Hazel Bloom has 46 subscribers in my Feedly stats -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 22, 13:35 8
- It really is an awesome site. nm - Dignan Dec 22, 13:38
- Do you use feedly as your start page? How do you like it? -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 22, 13:38 6
  - I *love* feedly. It's a staple of my day. So much nicer than straight google reader -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 22, 13:41 5
    - I tried feedly, but I preferred the fine-grained control of google reader. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 13:46 4
      - I start in digest view which shows me my "must read" feeds and I read them by clicking on each and reading in a list/summary view - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 22, 13:49 2
        
        oh, maybe that was my problem. I didn't realize there was a non-newspaper view. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 13:49 1
        
        It's called "titles and summary" and I find it on the "latest" view which is chronolgoical like Reader - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 22, 13:51
      - (Feedly does look nice, though. It's just that my standard usage of Reader doesn't benefit from the Feedly interface.) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 13:46
"no, the next left. dumb ass trick" -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 13:34 1
- I'd be good at this. -- nm - Diva Dec 22, 13:35
