So even after you correct them, people continue to challenge you? More proof that (some) people are no damn good. And no, not at all flattering.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

A literary agent in California somewhere was assaulted this week by an author she rejected.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I don't know how much a compromise can do. If we are discussing lunch, and I want Italian, and you want Mexican we can probably work something out. But If you want Mexican, and I suggest tire rims and anthrax, at that point you might reconsider who you want to eat lunch with - and certainly would not try to find a compromise.
If we're talking lunch and you suggest tire rims and anthrax? The voters ought to never voted you into office but since they did, damn well better vote you out. Otherwise? We deserve the people we elect. I would be horrified to be a Republican and hear people from my party say their only goal was not letting the President of the United States accomplish anything. I'd be horrified if Democrats said it as well. It's petty and it cripples our country. It's not, but it should be criminal to be elected to office and your only goal is to make sure nothing happens just because you or your party is having a toddler meltdown that they can't control all of the toys all of the time.
Edit: Or what Jesse said, "People are literally the worst."

Oh, speaking of literally, on the menu where I had dinner last night was "literally fried octopus." We couldn't figure out if they meant it was literally fried, or literally octopus. Or if they meant something else entirely, of course.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You didn't order it to find out? Or did that not clarify matters?

Walking home from the bus tonight I saw an actual bulldog riding an actual skateboard.
It was very cool.
