This is why I love love love love Garden State. Sincerity is such a rarity in film nowadays.

I don’t think the Coldplay hate has much to do with sincerity. I think a lot of people just don’t like their music. But I agree about the internet. It’s made people think cynicism is cool.

I think it’s an optical illusion. A piece of the set is behind her, her face isn’t actually visible at the angle she’s standing, and it happens to look like some weird Halloween monster mask.

If you’re not tied to the Windows environment, I would even consider Linux. The interface on something like Ubuntu might work a bit better for a tablet than Windows 7.

It is total BS that Microsoft can’t keep the install size of Windows 10 down, though. I had a laptop with a similar storage issue and I had to revert…

If you want to go with the food / bowel movement analogy, then the idea here is that this is like creating a food journal for someone who doesn’t know which foods are making their IBS worse. It’s not just numbers on a page, it’s an assistance in helping the person identifying what steps they can take to improve.

Yeah, I can agree with that.

Thanks for the backup, haha.

“Yahoo Groups and Google Groups both exude the dank air of benign neglect.”
I’m going to use this phrasing in as many situations as possible in the future.

I mean, I could understand their anger. I guess it all comes down to the intensity of the emotion. If someone is uncontrollably sobbing loudly in the office, or shouting at the top of their lungs loudy out of anger, there should be some expectation to control themselves to a degree, I guess. It’s a complicated issue I…

What about my statement makes me a “woosie”?

I get that, but I think there’s a big difference between the two. Anger like your describing would presumably be directed toward someone (a customer, coworker, etc.) where crying is more of a personal issue. Again, I’m not saying crying at work should be something that happens on a normal basis, but I think we should…

Fortunately no one expressed any negativity in those situations, and those co-workers were in their respective offices when it occurred, but yeah, I totally agree with you.

That’s true, I guess it’s somewhat situational. In the instances I’ve seen it, it was because a co-worker lost a loved one, and another who lost their dog. I can see how it could be manipulative in other scenarios though.

That’s a good point, I hadn’t thought of it that way.

I’ve had co-workers cry at work, and it’s never been an issue to me. I can’t stand the stigma our society has around crying. It is NOT a weakness. It’s a human expression. Not that crying at work should be happening every day, because that would likely be a sign of a larger problem, but if it happens, it happens. I…

Chicken noises at 1:00. Lol.

Fun fact, Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo has actually written a good number of film scores. Notable examples include Thor: Ragnarok, The Lego Movie, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

Addiction can be more powerful than rational thought. I agree with you, and I would probably find a new doctor too, but it’s like a counselor who has emotional issues to deal with outside of work. Just because you’re educated doesn’t mean you’re immune.

“Watch those hands wrap around the neck...”
And all without bending and over-extending the wrist. Forever jealous.

Another guy in a band here (like lovintheorange) and I can concur with him. I’m single at the moment, but in any past musical endeavors where I have been in a relationship I’ve always made it clear that my SO doesn’t need to come out. My current bass player is the same way with his SO, and our guitarist’s wife happens…
