  • Also, telling a depressed person their answer is to exercise is like telling a homeless person that they just need to get a job. The not having a home prevents the getting a job. If they had the ability to find a job, they wouldn’t be homeless (except obviously the people who don’t make enough from their job to support themselves, but that’s a whole different issue that shouldn’t exist).

    So even if someone does have the time, getting the depression under control may be necessary before the exercise seems like a reasonable possibility.





  • My parents were wonderful, so I have no real complaints, but my father had a weird quirk. Tools, equipment, whatever that he had interest and purchased himself were “his.” I mean, obviously, but he would use the possessive when referring to those things.

    “You have to prime my lawnmower first before you try to start it.” “Go and get my ladder.” Never the ladder, always my ladder. I never questioned it (because I didn’t care), but when I was a teenager I started noticing it and it was odd. Like he was establishing that the lawn mower or the ladder or whatever didn’t belong to the household, they were his. And nothing seemed to get him worked up more than a neighbor borrowing something and taking more than a day or so to return it.




  • “I want you to notice… when I’m not around…”

    Cut to Harris smiling and waving with some of her campaign goals on screen

    “You’re so very special… I wish I was special…”

    Cut to Trump with his duck face pose, with various SA accusations, “grab them by the pussy” quotes, and 34 convictions.

    “But I’m a creep… I’m a weirdo…”

    Cut to Trump looking confused and tired.

    “What the hell am I doing here?”

    Cut to Trump standing awkwardly near previous presidents, or just a picture of presidents from both parties talking without him in it.

    “I don’t belong here…”

    Cut to sad dejected Trump

    “I don’t… belong… here.”










  • How to Train Your Dragon Trilogy.

    I watched the first one on a ferry, and just hearing the title made me think it was going to be some nonsense. And then it was amazing.

    Then they announced a second, and I was thinking what do they expect to do with this and then they gave something intensely heartwarming and heart wrenching. I found it better and deeper than the first.

    And then the third. I don’t think it was as clean as the other two, but it closed it off so beautifully I was bawling at the end. Absolutely perfect.
