Update for Everyone V: Born Under A Bad Sign

[Figueira]

Where are you people meeting these classist SJWs?

[Figueira]

^^^Fair enough.

I wish social justice people would talk more about class and economic issues.

My best friend, who is a lesbian (or says she is), is now dating a friend of mine (a guy), who apparently broke up with another female friend of mine, because she wanted to be with someone else. Ugh.

What is the problem here?

@Peebs: Sorry your parents are being terrible.

My mom vaguely threatened to kick me out of the house if I were a Republican - I mean, thankfully I'm not but it still makes me sort of uncomfortable.

I'm pretty sure my parents have said similar things; I'm guessing it's a joke?

Technically, as you're not voting age, it is impossible for you to be a Republican.

"Technically" I'm "unenrolled." Nobody uses political terms "technically."

I know I've complained in a similar fashion before, but considering other possibilities with other parents, I consider them as being mediocre at worst, and slowly becoming less so.

That's why I said "They're being terrible" since I haven't heard enough to know whether they're terrible in general. You have every right to be upset about this though.

Made the mistake of trying to walk home when my bus was late. Wound up arriving 10 minutes later than I would have had I waited for the bus.

Fair enough. Although, I don't even feel upset per se. More mildly annoyed than anything else. Now, if I made more of an effort to enforce my gender and they still didn't make an effort to comply with it, then I'd be upset.

Good that you're taking it well I guess.

...I'm trying to decide whether or not to start posting on AAD. On the one hand it's kind of terrible in some ways, but on the other hand the political discussion quality there is generally better than Atlas.

My earphones broke, so that sucks.

Not to be a corporate shill, but I've had the best luck with Skullcandy.

Summer avatar enabled! Apologies to actual Mainers, but it would be boring having the same avatar all the time.
