Stepdad is claiming the cable boxes that were installed on my dime are "not working", so had to install the original boxes. Considering that they were installed less than a week ago, and it's literally the technician's job to make sure they're working before leaving, I'm assuming he's either trying to extort money out of me or he's a moron. Also, the fact that he hasn't returned to original boxes, possibly hasn't even canceled his own service, and is thus still paying bills on them suggest that he's a moron.

Why not both?

It's called a tantrum.

Adults have tantrums too.  This guy is very immature sounding, in just about every capacity.  He's the kind that needs to have the rose colored glasses surgically removed, and forced to experience the consequences of his douchery.

If you are able to swing it, get an apartment and move out. Make him entirely your mom's problem.  If your mom finds that she has become estranged from you, tell her that her new husband is responsible, and that you dont want to be part of a dysfunctional relationship-- (that you love her, but not her husband. SHE can come visit any time, but the baggage has to stay at home.)

Is there a citation for the Chick / Poe's law connection?

It was in an interview on his own site, but I can't find it by cursory examination. It didn't use the term 'Poe's law', it was something like "I love satire where you make fun of something by exaggerating being serious about it," which is pretty much how I'd define a Poe.

If you think those little comics are crazy, you should see Chick's books.

Turns out, moron. It's not that it "doesn't work", it's just that the deal I have doesn't have several specific channels that he just HAS TO HAVE RIGHT NAOW!

So an old woman looking for booze told me that i smell good. This conflicts heavily with previous customer complaints. I am not sure how to process this. She also made it sound kinda creepy. Why are women my age repulsed by me or wont even look me in the eye and then i get old women saying shit like this completely seriously.

Maybe you smell like an old man?

[pisskop]

Do you use cologne or wafty lotion or noticeable deodorant?

I've heard a few gals my age or younger say I smell 'like an old woman' when I wear my smell.  Its usually something I splash on 30-45 minutes before work...

[Eric Blank]

Just normal stick deodorant...
