| It's not something I like to bring up, but for the few people I've shared with, it's explained my awkward social behavior. They have become a little more patient with me and sensitive to my diversity. |

| Affairs are more often equated to infidelity than a relationship. That's primarily what the social backlash is about. The real issues are the legality regarding the logistics of the NDA and the threat in 2011. " For us, it wasn't so much "there was an affair." That's not as much the h... |

I meant to submit this last night. Since someone else mentioned two of those, you should definitely consider them for the next time. |

| They aren't running out of ideas as much as people aren't very accepting to new ideas. A lot of good things flop theatrically or get canceled early because people like what is familiar. They also love simplicity. Look at all of the reality shows. It seems the majority of people like to sit back, rel... |

| The Tomb is easily the worst thing I've ever seen. More recently, The Open House was quite awful. Some movie called "Hatchet" (not the book about the kid in the wilderness, this was something else.). Watched it with an ex BF and couldn't decide if it was a comedy or a bad horror. Its been... |

| I can't buy things for people that I don't agree with. If they want to waste their money on it, that's fine, but I'd rather find them something they want that I find acceptable. I agree that you shouldn't buy her the ones you prefer even if I agree with your reasoning, but I also don't think you sho... |

| That's why I don't like or comment on any posts set to public. My entire profile is private; 3/4 of my friends can't even see anything in my profile or my posts. I hate how open they make it and don't understand the people who have everything set to public. Some people wear their openness as a badge... |

| Alcohol is a very broad category. Are you asking about any/all types of alcoholic beverages or, more specifically, getting drunk? Either way, I love various types of beer and bourbon. |

"Wow, another one?" Followed by: "please, stop".
I'd like it if they were combined into one thread and placed into the games forum. Each day someone can pick a random topic that everyone can respond to. |

| You may have just explained the problem too technically for them. People tend to tune things out when they aren't familiar with what you're saying. It's all greek to them. You'd benefit from Occam's razor. They may not have been very interested in the how and just wanted to know that it was found. |

| That sounds like most people's lives. Sure, it's a little depressing and can be a bit of a bother, but hope and survival instinct keeps us going. It is less likely to make a living based on an interest or passion, but not so uncommon that you shouldn't try or expect it to be impossible; it just depe... |

It's okay for the first week, but then quickly tapers off. I used to take 70 (years ago). That was a little r... |
