@sox A billionaire would certainly be the first person I would ask regarding the subject.

I talk to people to avoid thinking abut my failed professional writing life. Maybe I'm lucky to have a failed personal life and a magic hat of crazy-ass trivia to talk about but also it seems to me that talking about writing is like talking about sex; a repetitive and vaguely pathological substitute of the most unsatisfying sort. Masturbation is Hyperion to yapping's satyr. Write, write high or write low, or don't write at all but for god's sake don't talk about writing.

@petejayhawk: We're trying! Haven't you seen the hot new trend among 50-somethings?
Suicide Rates Rise Sharply in U.S.
"The most pronounced increases were seen among men in their 50s, a group in which suicide rates jumped by nearly 50 percent, to about 30 per 100,000."

If the Me Generation would hurry up and fucking die already, the Me Me Me Generation might actually be able to find decent jobs and places to live.

By fabel on Ask Polly: My Best Friend Is In Love With My Sister!
Polly's answer was really compassionate & I have to say I don't have as much of that. This ISN'T a best friend/ex situation, it's a sibling/friend situation. I mean, I get feeling as though you lost a little bit of the two people closest to you-- but I lost my sympathy when you described telling them how it'd "bother" you if they got together. What business is it of yours, really? Why do you get to tell them that you disapprove of their potential relationship, just because they're close to you?
You say it was shady the way it all went down... but that's because you essentially did "forbid" them from seeing each other (by unnecessarily stating your feelings on the subject.)I'm sure they made some kind of attempt to abide by your indirect request that they stay away, but "kids in love" & all that. Forgive them.

@skahammer "People who feel unsettled and afraid" are the substance of lynch mobs. And being generous towards self-deputized justice is, at best, the very opposite of wise.

Terrence Malick movies : honeyed light :: Michael Bay movies : big explosions

being a pretentious douchebag with no actually useful skills CAN be automated?
I certainly hope so. Twitter is betting its business model on it.
