So, no one gives a shit about me, and I don’t really have any reason to care either. I don’t really know what to do about it. I’ve been told not to try so hard, but that makes no sense to me. I don’t see how wanting a conversation with a friend for the first time in weeks after sitting in my house alone for a few weeks (when I’m not working or in class) is too much to ask.

Because when you don’t try so hard you relax and are yourself.

Also, I’m not sure people are intentionally ignoring you. I think people tend to focus mostly on themselves and what they are doing. I, for example, haven’t hung out with or talked to my old high school friend (who’s an Aspy) in several weeks. I do think about him but when I do it’s inopportune at the time for me to call, and when it might be opportune I find I’m busy with work or life or kiddos, or just not in the mood to call.

I’m sorry that your friends aren’t paying you enough attention. What I’m saying though is that I don’t think they know that they are.

I’ve had a rash on the right side of my chest since last Wednesday. Various creams & ointments have done nothing to shrink it; it’s grown, actually. And I’m sure this fucking weather has done nothing to help.

And that’s why I now hate polyester.

I had a rash that started on the right side of my back and then reached around to my chest. Turned out I had shingles (flare up of chicken pox).

I only drink skim milk, come at me bro

and i only drink almond milk.

I drink

-Skim milk
-Almond milk
-Soy milk

They all get the job done, which is to suspend my cereal and become a cereal flavored drink, or to add a little more flavor to oatmeal.

I drink skim milk. My wife drinks (unsweetened) almond milk.

I did enjoy the Maple Films 3-in-1, however.

Too long for me. I’m aiming to make a 3hr “theatrical cut” and a sub-4-hour “extended cut” out of the trilogy for myself.

Spence’s is good, and the length I want for my EC, but I disagree with some of the cuts and retentions he made.

My wife and I enjoy the Hobbit Spence Edit. I haven’t ever watched the third theatrical movie because the second film so absurdly, and at length, deviated from the original story.

I wish Kerr would rerelease his LOTR “book-cut” edits in HD.

It’s all subjective. I’m assuming your definition of gratuitous is far more conservative than mine. If you think that what is on television is too gratuitous then it definitely is.

Original shows from streaming services often seem to be vulgar or lewd just because they can, with little regard for whether it’s warranted.

Gratuitousness regarding profanity, sexual promiscuity, or nudity doesn’t add anything to the story.

That is a ridiculous generalization. Sometimes it fits the tone or characters perfectly.

If that were the case, by definition it wouldn’t then be gratuitous.

I don’t think it’s shocking for me to say that I am a total dumbass when it comes to this kind of thing, but since I have the opportunity, I’ll ask. Why is requiring surgery to declare yourself a male or female a bad thing? From my perspective, it seems like the logical thing to do, if a man is defined as being, you know, biologically a man, and a woman the same. I don’t mean to be provocative, I’m just genuinely curious.

Curiosity killed the cow in the clouds and it rained hamburgers and people said they were delicious so they petitioned for more cows to be sent up notwithstanding protesters.
