The massive increase in street canvassers lately. Children's International, Planned Parenthood, Greenpeace, Gay Rights, Anti-Police Brutality, Mothers Against Violence, the list goes on. It's like they're on every single block now.

There's planes with banners flying over the beach that say, "Use Repellent: No Zika!"   And multiple billboards along major chunks of I-95 here with Zika STD PSAs. Some crappy artwork with the word "Zika" inside of a cartoon condom.

I wasn't worried before, but I sure as excrement am now.

"Excuse me, sir, do you care about children?"

"Excuse me, sir, do you care about children?"

I'd seriously get into a fight if they ever led with that.

Anyone who uses the phrase "it's been a minute" to refer to an extended period of time. It seems that I hear this phrase more and more every day and each time I want to ask the person that said it if they understand that a minute is sixty seconds or was that not taught in special ed.

As I get older, I find cliches to be increasingly annoying.

i have friends that have been using 'it's been a minute' since like 2007, i don't even notice that it's being used anymore lol

also, there's something about using slang terms/phrases that some girls find interesting/appealing for some reason. it'll work if you're ethnic, but it won't if you're a nerdy looking white boy. this last part's directed to everybody in general and not directed towards you, i don't know if you look like a nerd or are white, although andrew ryan sounds hella white

I assume his username is a reference to the character in Bioshock.

I see. That game is still on my backlog of games I have yet to play but wish to do so sometime in the near or distant future.

Which also confirms his whiteness.

I'm not sure about that, I think videogaming is about as colourblind as a hobby gets. I'm sure there are just as many black gaming geeks as there are white ones (proportionately) and I'm damn sure there are even more brown ones.

I find this comment offensive and will therefore complain about it on my next skiing trip.

Correct. I rarely play video games anymore but when I did BioShock was one of my favorites and, since I was a bit fixated with the literature of Ayn Rand and Leonard Peikoff, Andrew Ryan seemed like a natural username.
