What helped me was the idea that the item was going on to someone who would use and appreciate it NOW vs me and the idea that I MIGHT need it in the future.

And ever since then, I’ve never said that I hate a movie.

Absolutely he would

Oh god, why bother. How can THIS disappoint you about Shatner? When has he ever demonstrated any awareness or sensitivity.

It always comes out in the end. The wheel always comes round. Always. For everyone.

You are absolutely right. Laughing along and letting this stuff slide is how it permeates the culture. Nip it in the bud. Sorry you didn’t get the support from others.

Actually I just found out my cat is dying and had a hysterical reaction that wasn’t just about missing her, but around the fear of death in general, euthanasia, seeing her dead that I realized was caused by just this:
