That was my impression after reading the article, a real letdown after expecting this elaborate tale of faked proof-of-death pics, a mock funeral, and a shit load of conspiracies on the side. The only thing that stood out was this: I don't recall you ever mentioning this kind of camaraderie between romance writers and it certainly rings hollow given none of them, including the woman that supposedly reviewing her work, went to a funeral for a friend.

Don't have PreCheck?

They're so underrated.

I seen what you all drive on the strip.

It is unlocked! Strange.

It made it to the top of CNN, so apparently this shit is a big deal.

I mean, Shakespeare raised doubling down on bad choices into high art, but this... this is following a really really bad choice with even worse choices.

Of what?

He has to get his next liver from somewhere, you know.

Twenty-Nine Palms is in the middle of the Mojave Desert. It's quite literally a hell hole.

Eh.

I have no idea who this is or that she supposedly killed her self before she apparently didn't. Nonetheless, the whole thing is fascinating - how does one come back from the dead like that and what could she have possibly expected would happen?

It means I wouldn't live in Ohio for the remaining season and a half.

That's about right if you pro-rate for two and half seasons.

Not a very good car, though.

Love the twitter handle.

That's between Century City and Pico Robertson. Both Robertson Blvd and La Brea Ave have a ton of great food places to visit. (Edit) Fairfax Avenue is where the Farmer's Market is.

Looks like a chain out of Ventura County. Might be why you got something else. What neighborhood of LA are you in?

For future reference, there's an IN-N-Out across Lincoln from 24R (the northeast corner of LAX's property) if you need food at 1am out of the airport. They almost universally close at that time throughout their network.

Ignoring them is the best way to deal with them, not being civil, and that's what Sorce does now. In situations where he can't be ignored, you still don't waste time being civil to him or people like him, you tell him he's a piece of shit. Like you said, civility is for your sake not theirs, and you're not gaining anything by being civil to a delusional nut case who isn't going to see reason. Your best bet is to shut them down by any means necessary.

I was wondering if you ended up getting Chuck E Cheese's fake Italian pizzeria pizza. It has to have been really shitty if it was bad even when you were starving. Fortunately, there are plenty of options besides pizza.

So, what name was on the Pizza Box and what wings did you order?

That's not really what I got out of your argument, particularly after the tangential argument about changing people's minds. FWIW, I agree that's what cow fucker wants, but he's also delusional about politics and life so the only real approach to him is neither civility nor confrontation - it's ignoring him. He hasn't controlled any narrative beyond getting his shit handed to him on such a regular basis as to suggests he wants to be martyred, and the one thing martyrs hate is for their "sacrifice" to be ignored or forgotten.

Bad faith? Dude, she wasn’t asking for counterpoint in the first place. You could hardly expect her to be following rules of debate when she didn’t intend to debate you. Look, nobody gets ahead if you end up getting hurt in all this. You know she doesn’t know you or your roommates, so don’t take her comments as personal critiques of all of you. Accept them for what they are: born out of her experience of living in the Deep South.

It’s all bad, not just that area.
