Pretty much.

Individual suicides may not be preventable, because like you say, brains are complicated and mental illness can be severe. It isn't possible to design universally useful treatments for depression/the various mental illnesses that result in suicide. Sometimes you can love someone and be unable to save them; sometimes…

Fun fact time!

You aren't the only one!

My cats often get out of breath, it's adorable and terrifying at the same time. They stick their tongues out and make loud "HEH HEH" sounds.

I still lean towards saying slightly fat and possibly in shape anyways, but I think that it may just be a matter of where we place the line for a fairly subjective definition. Either way, he definitely didn't need to loose it, and we need a bigger mix of body types on-screen than we currently have.

Then again, so do women. When I worry about my weight it's because I can't get the idea that it's better to be thin out of my head, not because I think men won't be attracted to me if I can't fit into size whatever clothes. Even if it's mostly homosocial, the pressure is still real and difficult to deal with.…

FWIW, I would have described him as fat (not very fat, but he did have a substantial belly and chin-weight).

You are right, there aren't many non-commedies with leading men who aren't thin/muscular. Most recent works with Richard Buttler or Russel Crowe would count though, I think.

Yeah. We're not about to accept women who aren't much thinner than the population average on our movie and television screens (though that would be awesome), so in a twisted way I'd almost be happy to see the same ridiculously standard applied consistently, for a change. The fact that the models we're presented with…

I love doing things alone when travelling (which I have to do quite a bit of for work). Going for a meal by myself and really savouring it? Exploring a new city by myself, knowing that I can walk for hours, stop in a gallery, or park, or museum, or shop whenever I want and for as long as I want? Wondering for hours…

While I agree that the laissez-faire attitude is a problem (respecting cultural diversity doesn't require that one accept misogynistic violence, misogyny, or really, other similar forms of prejudice), I think that the measures you mention might be counter-productive.

Why would we want to protect children, who certainly aren't paying taxes? Why would we want to protect impoverished people, who certainly aren't paying either? Why don't we check people's IRS records before offering them assistance to make sure they haven't evaded their responsibilities?

Breast-feeding with a blanket is still a huge issue in many places. There are many, many people who will give a woman flack over doing it even when her breast is covered. And then you get the attitude that breasts are shit that no one wants to see, which makes the whole exercise shameful and awkward. And then you get…

The justice system sucks at prosecuting rape. Unless chances of conviction are high (and they aren't if the victim was intoxicated, and they aren't if the rapist was an acquaintance, and they aren't if the rape wasn't physically violent, etc.) the guy won't ever even get charged, let alone go to court.

You have to sign up for an account, but the process takes ten seconds and doesn't require any personal information (no e-mail, no facebook). You just type in the user-name and password of your choice and you are set.

Wow!

But it's different!

I took it as a moment of realization - he neglected his work, and placed Peggy in a difficult position. He hadn't even noticed that she was working for three (him + her, + getting her team to cover Megan's work) and is now, after having been told off by Cooper, noticing that she might be under strain.
