Schenectady is "the place beyond the pines" because there was a big old pine barren between it and the next settlement over.

Honestly, my first thought with almost any study on stuff like this is, "did you control for economic status?"

It's always the same shit: people who play golf live longer? Yeah, if they can afford to play an expensive game that takes a half a day to complete, they probably have more money and free time and less physical strain or emotional stress than the wage-slaves sorting boxes and hoping to be asked to work overtime so they can buy their kids braces.

There is no "correct." Language is constantly evolving. The only thing that matters is being understood.

I called the cops once after my apartment was broken into. They stomped around, flipped all my shit over, and "dusted for fingerprints." Then they accused me of attempting insurance fraud because I said I had more electronics than they expected.

I've never known a victim of a crime who was relieved after police intervention. Have you?

I think if you marry young, it starts at 1% and grows from there. My wife and I are approaching middle age, and we're only unknowingly taking to ourselves about 20% of the time.

Sex is not the sole expression of love that a person can give to their partner.

My grandfather was a state trooper. He always told me, "It's only illegal if you get convicted."

Who keeps greenlighting this guy? He had a couple of good seasons of Doctor Who, maybe one and a half of Sherlock, but it's otherwise all been pretty insufferable.

I'm almost forty and regularly hosted parties like this all through high school. So mileage must vary.

Hard disagree on the jump button. That thing has fundamentally altered how I play so heavily that I struggle going back to Dark Souls games.

I was paraphrasing both OP and yourself to create a farce, yes. Because farces are funny. It was a joke, not a clever and cutting rhetorical maneuver.

So, yeah, sucks a little that you took it so personally, but I do feel pretty good about it.
