Whether it’s foot in mouth, a sudden heavy subject, or some utter nonsense that you don’t know how to process, what’s something that’s come up in an otherwise alright conversation that’s stopped it dead in its track for both of you?

    Damn. I’d ALMOST respect his honesty. Most of those assholes come up with some “legitimate reason” as to why only people like themselves deserve freedom.
