I completely agree with this, but I don't see how it has anything to do with anything I said. Had I said "everyone should do things the same way I do" you may have had a point. The two year time-table only applies to me. The NRE phase does affect everyone, but it affects them for different...

I figured that's where you were going with your question. Are you suggesting that longevity of relationships is the only measure of experience and knowledge in this area? At minimum, all it takes to maintain a relationship over several years is an ability to ignore problems and overlook...

Nope. Longest so far was about a year and a half, although it wasn't really a "serious commitment" kind of thing, more of a mild to moderate commitment kind of thing. it also lasted a year longer than it probably should have.

Squiggy and I have something real, and magical, and I will not entertain your pessimistic nay-saying on the issue. Well that's good, both how things turned out and the realizing that I'm right thing. I had many examples growing up of how bad commitment decisions can go terribly wrong, so I...

If by "make an exception for you" you mean state that making serious commitments during the NRE phase wasn't a bad decision in your case, no, I won't do that. It was a bad decision. However, bad decisions don't always produce bad results. At this point, I'm pretty much an expert at making bad...

The only strict rule I have about the rate of change within romantic relationships is that I will not make, nor will I ask for, any serious commitments for at least two years. By "serious commitments," I mean long-term commitments that are difficult to back out of or or renegotiate, or that can...

I've seen hundred of meteors, but none that survived the trip through the atmosphere that I know of. If I ever do find a meteorite, it's going up on eBay because I like money. (Note for mods: Everyone probably knows this by now, but XKCD allows hotlinking, which is good because i don't feel...

Wait... MadBaggins came back and no one told me? Someone failed me here. I could just blame Squiggy like I normally do, but this was a huge oversight and therefore all must suffer. Everyone remember when I did this?:

I'd bribe the probate judge or whatever to declare that I fulfilled the terms of the will.

^ It looks like they removed that condition. It used to be in there, and I was still changing ranks when it was in effect.

^ Rear Admiral, not Fleet Admiral. With my average of about one post per day, I should hit Fleet Admiral in a little under 77 years.

I haven't accepted any offers to mod because no one's made any offers, most likely because Bonz isn't an idiot. I was a mod at another forum once, first the current events forum and then as a super mod or global mod or whatever they called it. I was far too lenient, I only ever handed out...

You can't, I already said the Super Bowl advertising thing. Since you copied my idea, I'm stealing yours and revising my list, because I can and I'm a dick like that: 1: Buy 15 minutes of Super Bowl ads, which works out to about three complete commercial breaks. 2: First commercial break: 20...

1: Buy up 15 minutes worth of advertisement time during the Super Bowl. 2: First complete commercial break: Video of my face while I play video games. 3: Second break: Me reading a list of people I don't like and why I don't like them. 4: Third break: White text on black background: "I don't...

Rumor? I've never tried to hide the fact that I miss Tachy. I even did an homage to him that one time so he could fulfill promises he made from beyond the grave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzY2oSX5y-U (I didn't imbed it because it's technically TNZ material. Although, I didn't actually...

I don't remember who that was. Was it cooleddie? It was probably cooleddie.

MajorBarcalow was before my time, so I clicked the link so I would know what everyone was talking about. After reading some threads, I noticed this: Who is this imposter?! This pretender?! This usurper of my visage?! I believe I'll sharpen my dueling sword. He was here first, but...

You mean your aunt's truck. (Preemptive smart-ass measure.)

I find a lot of things said by men in monogamous heterosexual relationships to be annoying, but the "we're pregnant" thing is pretty low on the list. It's much more annoying when they say "stop fucking my wife." On the subject of annoying pedantry: I am currently borrowing a truck from my aunt...
