Anybody know if the Tales from the Trenches is legit or made up? They're definitely interesting to read, but a couple seem a bit far out. Then again, them being far out is the point, and unbelievable doesn't mean untrue. Just the skeptic in me would like to have confirmation.

Hard to say - I'd think much like many other sites with user submitted stories, some will be the truth, some will be a carefully constructed house of lies, with a doormat of lies, doilies of lies, and a high-tea set made of lies on a lie sideboard.

I mostly believe the stories submitted there. There are enough confirmed horror stories of that industry that these other stories may as well be true. Even if a particular story is a lie, there is probably someone out there who had an equivalently bad experience.

Absolutely - Just pointing out that a grain of salt is necessary, as with many user-submitted content sites.
Thats sort of my issue, though not a big one, is that they all look a little bit like the PVP cast. I know there are only so many out there and its not such a bit deal it just sort of stands out a bit to me. But that is probably me being derp.
Is there a way to use the word "circlejerk" in English class without the teacher getting mad? Because I can't find any other way to describe the shitty article he made us read. Apparently books are objectively better than all other forms of media and they stops wars and shit, and also "reading on a computer" can never be as good as "literary" reading. Nobel laureate or not, this article is awful!

I don't think circlejerk is really the correct term anyway. It's only a circlejerk if there's 2 or more people all agreeing about the same bullshit idea.
You could try mutual admiration society if you find yourself in a situation where circlejerk is actually accurate, though.
I still can't figure out the non-swearing way to say "clusterfuck," however.

I would use the word "masturbatory" as a descriptor. It's more appropriate in both tone and meaning.

Not that either's a bad thing; Kurtz's art is pretty rad now-a-days.
Capers are fucking awesome. I eat those little fuckers by the spoonful.
EDIT: I should make some puttanesca this week. Love that stuff.
I love you!
