I sob like a baby when I watch Practical Magic (Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.) Same with Disney's Moana. Neither movie is really advertised as bring particularly deep or philosophical, but both of them have more profundity than appears on the surface. PM is about love, death, and family. Moana is about determination, joy, and redemption. Big emotions.

You said the scar is very thin, so you might get results from an over the counter product like Scargo, especially if the scar isn't too old. I've used it successfully before.

I do buy yarn from places like knitpicks but I also love to spin my own yarn. Would you like to join us on the dark and twisty side? You won't get hooked, I promise.

Buh-bye

I didn't know there was an Islamic dilemma. Also, I don't care about it any more than I would care about a dilemma in any other religion. Religion is such a cancer in the world, I prefer to keep my mind clear of it.

I binged the whole thing the other day. Addictive, although gory and laden with F-bombs.

She's surprised that the supreme court would strip rights away from Americans? Good thing she doesn't need an abortion. I have only contempt and tiny violins for her, while I am filled with rage and terror for my trans kid and hir trans wife, and my gay mother and her gay wife. And for my disabled self, of course. When they come for one of us, they come for us all. It's the code of the freaks, and this woman forgot that.

Let's turn the question around. You benefit from the many things other people's taxes have provided, even before you were born. You were probably born in a hospital funded by taxes. The hospital staff was educated by public schools and federally subsidized student loans. You drive on public roads, and are (at least in theory,) protected by publicly funded cops, firefighters, and military. (I did say in theory.) You probably get your electricity, water, sewer and trash pickup from a public utility - even though you pay for your usage, you still benefit from the public expenditure to build and maintain that infrastructure.

So the real question is how is not paying taxes not theft? You'd be a freeloader, stealing from the rest of us.

Um? My whole body? I don't really understand this question. All my body parts have issues. I wouldn't say they're causing problems, though. I have an illness that causes problems, my body is doing the best it can. Never blame your body for experiencing pain. It's not its fault.

There is lots of great content on YouTube, but you need to do some work to shake it loose. On the thumbnail page, click on the dots next to the image and choose "not interested" to get rid of the same ones showing repeatedly.

Try searching for terms you are interested in. Once you watch a couple of videos on the same subject, they'll keep trying to show you more, which one be a good thing or not, depending.

Creators come and go, so finding new ones is an ongoing process.

Don't confuse the country with the people or the land. While many humans do seem to be an utter waste of space, the species is still worth preserving (imo.)

Alas, I understand all too well about leaving the theater before the rush. I'm liable to do that, too.

I feel like a certain amount of numb might be the best thing for you right now. The relationship is over. He is not going to give you what you want, but you keep trying to draw him back in. You're keeping your own wounds open. The fact that he's not emotionally healthy enough to cut you off doesn't make your behavior any healthier.

You said you want someone to "fight for you." What does that mean? Fight who? You're not a princess locked in a storybook castle, are you? Real life isn't a fairytale. It's not a movie. Real love isn't about drama. It's about just normal caring. Until you can rescue your own mind from the bullshit Hollywood has fed you, you will have a very hard time being part of a genuinely loving relationship.

Cut this dude loose. Look after yourself. Let your princess out of her tower, so she can live in the real world.
