I think you meant to say "deprived." But yeah, to the extent that various written and unwritten codes of conduct would try to have us pretend to be perpetually "nice" and asexual t…

Sometimes I think that Romanians (and people who have lived under genuinely despotic regimes) are the only ones who really understand American politics.

Apparently you don't hang in bars too often. If you're at a bar and you're ruining the vibe in any way, you need to get out. If you don't leave when asked, you will be gently but f…

If you don't know what forking and repo means, If you think that, you're reading way too much into my question.

Adria, can you please do us all a huge favor and provide for us the exact wording of both the "dongle" and "forking" remarks that were made? All we have so far are assertions that …

But shucks, it "feels" like it's true. Therefore, in the poster's mind, it is.

I believe she's being a hypocrite by taking offense one day, and making her own penis joke on Twitter the next. I can't find anything resembling a penis joke in her recent Twitter …

Also, wordplay on forking a repo is particularly anti-social. Would you care to recite the exact wording used in the forking remark for us? Otherwise, how are we to know that it wa…

Period. Full stop. Not. There are also issues of fabricated evidence and due process involved.

Life has such beautiful symmetry, at times.
