My Mantra: "I'm too old for this ***t"

I'd be curious to see an expansion of "this ***t".
It might very well have great overlaps with my list. I know very well the feelings that you are expressing.

This catchy phrase was uttered by Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) in the original Lethal Weapon movie and then carried to the rest of that franchise.

i hear you
Usually it's my code that I want to be in a hurry. =) Go! Compute that LALR(1) table! Factor that grammar!
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Hmmmm... "Hurry", maybe that's a name I should consider for my new car. "I'm in Hurry, don't hinder me".
(My present one is a red Ford, so I call it Robert.)

Mostly I just follow the Babylon 5 mantra. I also often catalog the stupidity I'm about to do prior to doing it.

Write once, read multiple
eg, in SQL - if you're thinking "a" is a valid alias for Account table then think again. Account is not a long word. Make it meaningful. If you have AccountProductMemberElephant table then APME is not a valid alias. These of kind of aliases result in the future readers having to reference back to the table to find what that means. Either don't alias or if you have some meaningless prefix to the table (eg company name) alias to remove that
Just remember you're only writing it once. It'll be read 100s of times!
Or another favourite and one not everybody agrees with
If it's not readable it's wrong!

Even that's overpriced. You don't need to write down your cheatinghouse rules at all to play with them. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Because I want game night to end in political debates with a couple of fights and at least one couple filing for divorce.
And that for a game that's already notorious for sparking fights[^]

As long as we are different, we will be treated as such. Woman and men should be treated equal, but that doesn't mean erasing all that makes us different, or trying them to become the same thing.

I disagree. I'd open the door or give up my seat for a woman more so than a man (although I do it for both). I also won't be as sarcastic around women because they tend not to get sarcasm as much. I also won't knock a woman around when playing basketball like I would a man. Nor will I flirt with a man.

By law, I meant, not a person.
Whom you as a person treat nicely and whom not, is entirely your choice

Have you ever seen what goes on in divorce court? I'll bet men would vote for more equality there.
