If the USC defender had held on to that crazy Ryan Browne touchdown as they should have, that'd make it 40-10 and we'd all be miserable and pessimistic. Hey let's push it to 43-10 if we count the field goal that hit the upright. USC had some what-ifs too.

1. For all his "willingness to debate," I don't have any record of him saying "I learned from someone I disagreed w/"
2. Racism etc. aside, I've seen people expect their targets to a) be grateful they didn't use profanity and at other times b) be impressed how "honest/from the gut" their cruelty is.

I'd write more, but I don't want to make this about me. It's probably cliche to say "Coping's a skill to build, like any other." If it's any relief, know I'd like to write a story/game like what you wrote, but I've put it off for my own stuff.

Sometimes I need a break after a positive review which points out something I knew was a weakness and I said "I'm willing to publish, even knowing this." I don't have answers either. But even when I write about something where I don't put myself into it, this happens.

Dang it. I should've thought to be on here to ask. I'm glad you got some testers & am glad you'll be in the author forums again.

Thanks for digging this up! BTW, For those curious to see the whole thing, it's not in the Tom Lehrer main article but in the Lobachevsky song article. (I went to Tom Lehrer's page first and couldn't find it!)

I remembered thinking, they can't go much lower, can they?
They couldn't in 2004. They have the "freedom" to now.

We're just really passive-aggressive, waiting for the right chance to let it all out.

I'd vote for cringey acronyms. Though outrageous typos or excess/lacking punctuation is probably a safe bet too!

Sometimes it's the little things that cause an outsize emotional reaction.
But if they keep us mad enough to resist meaningfully, hey, ride with it!

I remember finding this in a supermarket. The first 2 levels, easy, but they got impossible.
I'm still tempted to run a MAME cheat to get to level 100 after reading this article.

Not quite right. The proper usage is "that (epithet of your choice) Vance."
I trust this mistake will be corrected on your next post :)
