| I am not a certified therapist, psychiatrist or anything else, but if you have a question and want some unbiased, objective advice from a guy who doesn't know you, you've come to the right place!
Today we'll have a twofer because the first question's short and memey.
What was your favorite part of the State of the Union address? Memes are acceptable answers.
Bernie Sanders tepid applause was my favorite part. It expressed exactly how I fucking felt about it, man.
Berniiiiie..... why did Hillary have to fuck you over? There's an alternate reality where that didn't happen and you're president, I know it.
My family has always been crazy close to each other but since we've moved to Haven it feels like there's a growing rift between my sister and I. I love her dearly, but we never talk any more. I'm starting to think a lot of it is because of these boys she's been surrounding herself with! She's always needed a lot of love and attention but it's getting kind of crazy! Dearest Editor, what's your suggestion? What can I do to get my darling sister back?

Dear Concerned Sister,
My advice is thus: honesty is the best policy. But you need to temper that honesty with compassion and tact.
I would recommend you invite your sister out for something light, preferably during one of her 'low-boy' time periods. I would tell you to ask her to turn her phone off and you do the same and you two just have a fun time. Do something fun that you used to do together, or just get a drink somewhere and talk.
Now this is very important: Don't accuse her of anything and don't tell her she's an attention whore or that she's trying to fill a hole in herself (metaphorically) with boys. Instead, tell her how YOU feel. That you miss her, that you want her to make time for you in her life but that you understand she is busy too. Don't make it a 'it's me or them' situation.
If your sister's a reasonable person and cares about you, I think if you come at her from a point of just wanting to reconnect and wanting her to make time for you, she'll be a lot more open to that then if you tell her she's spending too much time with boys and needs to talk to you more.
Feel free to write me back about this and in the meantime you might have to be the one initiating these outings with your sister. From my experience, when a woman starts getting good dick, they can lose touch with their friends without realizing it because they're having so much fun.
Also if you'd like to send me your sister's picture and number, I could see if I can squeeze in there to talk to her for you (just fucking with you).
