Do you know who that creepy, pervy looking guy above is? No, its not Barney from How I Met Your Mother, its Julian Assange, founder of Wiki-leaks (also he really may be creepy and pervy).
This guy has literally turned the worlds government, corporations, and media outlets into a bunch of gossiping school girls all trashing on how slutty the others are. Do you know how frigen hard this guy has made my life? Every time I've gone browsing for suitable Alt-Tabs this week I've been bombarded with more "he said, she said" stories about various diplomats and national leaders. Who gives a shit? Didn't these people go through high school? Everyone talks shit, its a fact of life. Stop acting all surprised and righteous when you find out the same people you trash in private are doing the same thing about you. Its not a big deal.
You're supposed to have learned by now how to diffuse the awkward situations arising from your prior shit talking. Two paths to take, play dumb and deny (a sign of weakness upon being called out but typically ends the discussion), or pick a mutual foe and spin the conversation to shared shit talking about them. That's it, its that simple.
