When you're in a tough spot and you start hearing about the tough spots others are in, do you feel better because you're not them, or feel worse because the suckitude is EVERYWHERE?

Neither, because one should know that the suckitude is everywhere.

Life is simply an endless series of consequences, disappointment and betrayal sprinkled with small pleasures which are really just torture devices because it wants you to keep going through the rest of the 'minefield of suck.'

For YEARS!

neither, but I do have jealousy and resentment when hearing about all the good some people have in their lives and the awesome things they are doing.

It's like life slapping me in the face about my failures.

I just got out of the car and as o was closing the door I noticed something on the seat. It was a half-dead wasp. I must have sat on it. Its stinger was out so I’m lucky it didn’t poke me.

Life is beautiful, but it is also cruel. At least once a day I like to focus on the things I am grateful for big and small. It helps give perspective to the hamster wheel of crisis.

I don't care how old I am, if I walk by a toy in a store that has a "Try Me" sticker on it, i'm pushing that button!

Life is not fair and never will be. There are people out there not getting the love they deserve and then there are thouse getting the love they don't deserve.

Do community centres display reminders of time changes like "Don't forget, clocks go back tonight" or "Don't forget, put your clock forward tonight"?

Can't remove them (or at least, easily) as there's mesh over the face of the ad.

I used to agree with you until I had a Hot Hawaiian. The inclusion of a spicy component puts it over the top. The sweet playing against the spicy is excellent.

I will generally give any Hot Hawaiian a shot.

I will say that pineapple thrown on a Deluxe pizza or anything of that ilk is nasty.

Such a good pizza. Even just regular Hawaiian + Jalapenos is great

Sweet + savoury is a legit flavour profile, anyone that goes nuts online rallying against it is just an idiot
