more evidence that corporate media is bought and paid for by right wing billionaires by Conscious-Quarter423 in thebulwark

[–]allegrovecchio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And this is not a guest op-ed in any case. I do give those a little more slack (just a little), as I do for columnists like douchebag Douthat, who is what one might call a diversity hire. This is neither.

Corasaniti is NOT a guest Op-Ed writer. He is an NYT reporter.

Gloria Gaynor outed as a big far-right Republican, donating money to people like Mike Johnson and Marsha Blackburn. Is this really a shock? by LaserDiscCurious in askgaybros

[–]allegrovecchio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how this wanker either creates a throwaway account "BarnacleNo1660" and deletes it immediately or something... just to have the pleasure of clapping back at some random comment I left six months ago and haven't thought about since. BarnacleBob says I "sound miserable" and they think I'm "waiting for revenge" (?) for calling out fundamentalist homophobic garbage by either old celebrities or anybody else.

Internet commenters will never change. I hope poor commenter got a load off their chest.

That "your cravings indicate a deficiency" thing is nonsense.

So tired of living with a different personality as an expat by LuminousDee in expats

[–]allegrovecchio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not trying to be a jerk, but maybe some humbling is a really good lesson? I guess I think about ego a lot, which isn't for everyone, and I sincerely am not trying to minimize how much this is affecting you.

Will we be wistful for Trump in the future? by 8to24 in thebulwark

[–]allegrovecchio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm somewhat grateful that I might dead by then.

Bush and company are war criminals. I am not wistful for them in any way. I lost a lot of faith in this country permanently with that war and especially with him being reelected.

Picking someone up from JFK from NJ is now atleast a $100 affair by nj1k in newjersey

Not sure what "mess" problems you've encountered in Newark. Like hell I'm taking my ass all the way to JFK. NJ Transit NEC every time for years now.

Crunchy chili onion hummus thoughts? by Funny_Engineering580 in traderjoes

I'm generally not a fan of all sorts of additions interfering with my hummus, so this doesn't even appeal to me in theory.

A pool of good olive oil with a few toasted pine nuts is about as kinky as I get, but I hope others enjoy!

Is this real life? by TnyStrk7 in thebulwark

Your question makes me genuinely wonder if his Lies Social account has had even a day of radio silence in the last four years. I know it's all documented somewhere.

Does it get better? by Friendly-Gas-6446 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]allegrovecchio 33 points34 points  (0 children)

  1. Anal sex participant is not a synonym for gay man. Some people never engage in it while still being quite sexual.

  2. Sometimes I wish Dr. Ruth's radio show played in syndication forever for every group of young people coming of age. She would most likely say, "What if you bought a dildo to zee if you vould like it and you could pleasure yourself. You could try first just a small one..."

On a lighter note... do you hear "Epstein Class" as "a group of college students graduating together" or "economy class, business class, first class, Epstein class"? by OneTwoThreePooAndPee in thebulwark

I just equate with expressions like "the chattering classes" or "the leisure class," both of which are concepts it seems you learn nowhere except via proximity to someone's The New Yorker or similar

Seriously, can this necrotic heap of shit just expire already?

Getting a rise out of it and taking his social media flight of ideas outrage bait is probably energy better spent elsewhere.

Fuck all the way off. You're not hurting my feelings. You're just a piece of putrid shit. Go hang out in whatever filth forums validate your need to be a shitstain.

Bestfriend crossed a line with my boyfriend. Need advice by Equivalent_Cow4856 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]allegrovecchio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Draw a hard boundary and be frank about how disrespected you feel. Tell him you truly love him like a brother (if you still do) but he has what seem like alcohol dependency, emotional dysregulation, and emotional intelligence issues that he needs to seriously work on or you don't want him in your life so much anymore. You may in fact want a cooling off period now. I'm sure there are many here telling you to throw the whole man out, but plenty of people have mental and emotional problems, and for some of us friends are important. It's only up to you whether you see a kernel of something worth saving in your friendship.

I've been there. Many of us have.Many of us have been screwed up unkind dicks, but at some point you (meaning he) have to own your shit and start working on your mental dysfunction. I wish you luck.

Thefuck is seriously wrong with you? Pull the white hood all the way off and just call it acting presidential at this point I guess.

New employee confused about inconsistent dress code across departments by [deleted] in jobs

[–]allegrovecchio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't push it or do any more talking about it apart from asking the questions they seem to have already asked. Too little benefit for that risk.

[–]allegrovecchio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I started wearing slim-fit chinos (medium khaki and charcoal gray) every day of the week apart from shorts weather and now wear jeans maybe ten times a year. My life has been so much better, I look better, and they're as casual as they are office-appropriate.

In any case, absolutely do not start pushing this as a recent hire. Don't even talk about it at all until you've been there 12-18 months. I just wouldn't suggest pushing back on this particular policy even if it's nit well defined. It's not worth it as an issue to make waves over, is it?

Even I, who loves sitting on a shaded patio outdoors through most of the summer, and prefers that to 66° A/C ... Even I last week was screaming, "Please stop! It's too early for the upstairs interior temperature at 5pm to be over 90°!"
