So, you know my feelings? Seems to me you’re making the mistake you accuse me of. I see you’re angry. Okay. But, this isn’t about you personally. Clearly, we all go from our experiences. Yours make you angry at me. Mine make me cynical about the potential suicidal impulses of the particular person. Again, note he’s…

Having had a friend who committed suicide, and many who have depression, including close family members, I’m pretty aware of the issue of depression. That’s why I’m dubious about the whole thing. The friend who committed suicide didn’t call, didn’t say anything. The ones who have suicidal ideation may talk about it…

Also possible! Not denying it’s merely speculation. I will say that, since he was the one rolling out in the road, your speculation is less likely. What I’m saying is that this appears more like drunken histrionics than classical depression. But, I’m willing to be wrong. I’m just not in the mood to be as understanding…

Exactly. I could, obviously, be wrong, but I’m going to say 1) alcohol 2) sitting down in the road 3) the fact that apparently it was in front of her—all these point to something other than depression, something more like alcohol combined with assholitis. I feel bad for her family.

Still bitter about Mae. I love me some Goldblum, but I have no interest in seeing this because of the casting stupidity.

You are much more compassionate than I. I am cynical today. But then, some butthead on FB just asked me what my “talking points” were. Yes. It’s been that kind of morning.

He didn’t really want to die or she wouldn’t have known about his probably loud, drunken, dramatic plans. I have a speculative narrative running in my mind about whether or not she was going to break up with him and he threatened to kill himself. That is, I stress, entirely speculative.

I’m cracking up over all the disdain spread all over these pages for Swift’s 4th of July party.

YES! Good job!

She seems like a nice 14 year old. Were I to have made millions by the age of 18, I am absolutely certain I would have behaved much more idiotically. Although, I’d be collecting cats, not dogs.

Totally.

There are things called figures of speech. Some of them are metaphors. Some are similes. All of them are there to describe in a more eloquent way, something we are feeling. I can’t only assume that, because you are getting upset about figures of speech, that you need a hobby, a new hobby, because this one makes you…

I gotta agree.

Dear Google Exec,

Explains the voting.

Well, that’s just it. If you’re a shithead in old age, you were a shithead in your youth. It’s as simple as that. There is no “old age bitterness” that comes on naturally as you age. So, if you’re nice, nothing to worry about.

I agree. Very few people buy that bullshit. It’s like being told you’re 40 years young or something stupid like that. It makes me want to tell the person to fuck off.

If you are a nice person now, you’ll be a nice person when you are older. There’s no magical “jerk” switch that turns on with old age. It’s a stereotype.

Sure. But, it’s not about being old. It’s about being a jerk. People who are jerks grow to be old jerks. People who are nice grow to be older nice people. It’s not really about their age.
