On getting it.
dearcoketalk:
You realize that you sound just as dogmatic and over-compensatory in your “what happens when we die” theory as any religious nut the way you insult and tear apart anyone who expresses a difference of opinion, right? We get it: You’re not scared to die and be a nothingness abyss. Good for you. Maybe it took a long journey for you to get to that place of security with it, but...

On fun sized advice.

Your jewelry is tacky. It’s tacky as fuck. Buy some, you dirty hooker.
Is it possible to sneak into Coachella? Sure it is. There are wall climbers ever year. Hell, I’ve seen dudes crash backstage with nothing but a walkie-talkie and an attitude. Watch out, though. You’re not Fletch, and they booby-trap the fences for dumb shits like you.
What happened to the bitch that stole...

On sounding like an elite liberal.
dearcoketalk:
How do you know so much about what happens after death? You sound like an elite liberal who knows everything whether they do or not.
Take a deep breath. Relax. This is not a fight. I am not a threat to you.
I get it. You’re terrified of death, and like most people, you have a core belief system of antiquated myths you’ve carried with you your entire life as a defense mechanism...

Dear Coquette,
What is the difference between self-respect and integrity? Integrity is objective. Self-respect is subjective. What do you think of Newt Gingrich’s request for an open marriage? That raging narcissist didn’t ask for an open marriage. He asked his wife for permission to continue cheating. There’s a huge difference. I met a guy named Jerry at a frat party. We...

On struggling with mortality.
dearcoketalk:
Dear Coquette,
I struggle to accept my own morality and have become obsessed with the work of Aubrey de Grey. I am even counting on his research succeeding within my lifetime, and I think this expectation is unhealthy. I know you just recently covered mortality, and while I’m not having panic attacks, I’m still terrified. I’m in complete denial of death, and I’m having trouble...
