Stupid exhibitionists. Think of the various possible scenarios in the surrounding apartments: kids, grandmas, repressed people, depressed people, visiting mothers-in-law, late-night study sessions, maybe a former POW who was tortured to the sounds of loud sex and is now having flashbacks, whatever. It’s just plain…

Hollywood, stop it. There are plenty of other ways to make a character look “cool.” Use your imaginations for once and stop recycling stupid old tropes. Grump.

WorstCarrie, did you ever find out what happened to your foot/ankle? I ask because it was such an unusual onset of pain, and I’ve had weird things like that all my life, where a body part acts seriously injured for no reason, but I don’t go to a doctor, and a few days later it’s all better, and then something else…

My favorite scene in “Hot Fuzz” was the translator scene:

Let’s make “tepid seat” a thing!

And then submitted to America’s Funniest Videos! Win/win!

There’s a recent video of Bill Maher interviewing the head of Breitbart (Bannon’s replacement) on YouTube. I haven’t watched it yet.

I took symbolic logic and argument logic classes in HS and college. The argument logic class taught about all the fallacies used in the press, like “red herring” and “strawman” and “ad hominem” and all that. I wish everyone could have a crash course in argument logic!

Ooh ooh, I could do a knitting show! I volunteer! Or a talk show where all the guests are puppies!

Well, procrastination/laziness is a major sign of inattentive ADD. I’m not trying to force a diagnosis on you, but if your self-esteem is low because of laziness and you want to work on fixing it, you might want to look into it. In any case, you have my best wishes, and I’m pretty sure you’re a valuable human being…

I hate that! I completely lose all sympathy for a character when they do stuff like that. Someday I’ll write a movie that starts out like a horror movie, but the character is a goody-two-shoes and does everything the way she was asked to do it, so nothing bad happens, and at the end of the movie she just goes home.…

See, I’m the same, and I’d call that “difficulty to start tasks” — “activation” in psychspeak. Like, when you’re watching TV, do you feel guilty or ashamed for not getting up and doing something important? Do you find yourself turning on the TV *because* you’re supposed to be working on something and you want to avoid…

I’m sorry... I realized after I posted that I didn’t explain the book very well. It’s not only women who get inattentive ADD, but women are notoriously underdiagnosed, so Solden wrote a woman-focused book to shed light on the matter. But it’s very common in men, too. Since it doesn’t manifest as the stereotypical…

“its too hard for him to get it then not, its easier to just never have it” I don’t understand that, and it sounds suspicious... like he’s considering getting it somewhere else. I hope I’m wrong.

Rooting for you to get your inheritance sooner rather than later!!

Most dads that I’ve known firsthand (including my own) have always been either terrible or neutral. Or absent.

I’m so glad you only had to suffer his abuse for your first 8 years. Yay cancer, for once? I hope that your next 40 years are much happier than your first 40.

My father is a narcissistic racist who was born in New York in the 40's, where he was racist against Jews (although his ancestors were probably German Jews), then he moved to a place where there were Hispanics and became racist against Hispanic people, then he moved to a place where there were African Americans and…

If I were rich, I’d invest in a bunch of drones with cameras to fly all over the desert and find migrants, then swoop down in my helicopter and pick them up and give them water and food and a place to take a long nap where ICE agents can’t find them.

“Hilariously lazy”... possibly inattentive-type ADHD. (Basically the opposite of the hyperactive stereotype.) Go to Amazon and read the summary and some reviews for the book “Women With Attention Deficit Disorder” by Sari Solden. See if anything sounds familiar. If I guessed right, that book will change a lot for you.
