Sounds like something Belkar (from Order of the Stick) would say:http://www.cafepress.com/or...

Looks like the missiles weren't the only things that were long, stiff, and shot themselves off.

But what if I'm Chinese-Canadian? I don't have a dog in this fight....

And why isn't this the open thread? Oh right more horribleness to report. Carry on.

this is why i read the non-comments. you'll get more wisdom, and insight from the wonketariat than 100 talking heads on the idjit box. and all of the faux bloviaters combined.

Couldn't get laid much less. But you did cause me to quit drinking for a yet to be determined interval of time (that whisper thing made me cry). And Megan Kelly interviewed Alex Jones? Yoohoo! That's better than getting laid.

Woo💝 I don't care what your country of origin is. I'm totally attracted to desperate. Call me.

I'd love to, but I don't have your number. :/

Sounds good to me. Who else is in the DC area (and no, I don't want to be the one to set up a Meetup, too much else going on).

Not really. You can explain if you want. I have a friend who also shows up to everything, and I would like to understand her better, because I am a hermit by nature.

I don't know, I meshed with this geeky, techy group better than practically anything in the past. So yeah, I try different things. I think it's just my fate in this go-round. I'm almost 60 years old, so I've given pretty much everything a try at least once. And I'm actually very proud of the things I've tried and done in what feels like in my own quiet way. I've truly lived in interesting times and yet I still have a sense of childlike wonder about my world. I'm far too emotional, intuitive and empathic to suspect Asberger's. I put myself out there a lot. I'm outgoing and friendly in a checkout lane and will talk to your kids. It makes me feel good to brighten someone else's day.

So, I don't know what it is really. It's my challenge to try to figure it out. I know I have some issues, but I'm working on them and always have. While I do have a tendency to turn in on myself as opposed to lashing out or assigning blame to others, I really think this is a 'me' thing more than a 'them' thing. I've been part of the group for quite a bit longer than several people in the 'inner circle' and I've never been invited into.

Basically, it's the same complaint those MGTOW whiners have. I've stuck in the 'acquaintence' or 'associate' zone and can never break into the 'friend zone, in a platonic sense. And just like it's obvious to everyone that the problem in the first equation is actually 'them'. Same logic here. I keep getting stuck in the outer circle no matter what I try. There's a time to fucking give up.
