I won’t try to change your mind, but I rewatch all of Succession like every 6 months. As soon as I finish I have to stop myself from starting over right away. God it’s so good.

It was super popular, I think people maybe have some nostalgia for it, but it’s really a bad show.
Does that also remove easily without leaving a mark? The VHB tape says it’s not for sensitive surfaces.
I’m seeing lots of different tapes from Tesa. Is it PET? PVC?
I’m gonna need a source on that.
Thank you for expanding on that point. I meant it to be a “here’s how we got here” before the rest of my “this is where we are today.”
You’re totally right, and any conversation about men’s behavior at large should include the experiences you just described. Even though we didn’t get ourselves into this situation - in that we didn’t raise ourselves - we’re the ones who will get us out.
I’m a therapist who works almost exclusively with men. Here one pattern I’ve seen often:
It can be true both that men need to open up more and should not treat their partners as therapists. We all need support systems because no one person can always be available to give us everything we need. It’s not wrong to confide in a partner, but if that partner is the only confidant it’s precarious for both. And I want to emphasize this is not the fault of a man, or men as a community. This is the result of generations of conditioning from both men and women, and both men and women play a part in the solution. I also want to recognize that many of us don’t have a network of people we could open up to even if we wanted to, and many more can’t afford therapy.
If anyone reading this can afford therapy, I highly recommend it. It’s a place to undo some of that conditioning, to sit with someone who’s committed to listening, caring, and not judging.
young people feeling depressed and isolated is the least of your problems.
Children are the future of EVERY country. The future is looking bleak for young people in the US. Where do you live? Are young people unaffected by social media or what?
Out here in actual civilization though, tik tok youth drama is not representative of reality whatsoever.
That’s the thing though. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around sometimes, but for lots of young people, social media IS their reality. This became even more true during the pandemic. We asked young people to go to school on a screen and pretend it was the same as doing it in person. Why wouldn’t they have the same mindset about chatting, hanging out, flirting, dating, etc.? They don’t see it as simulated socializing, it’s just how they socialize.
This isn’t really an answer to your question, but psychiatrist Arthur Kleinman came up with 8 assessment questions for asking patients to describe their conditions. The questions are designed to allow for cultural or spiritual explanations outside of the typical Western medical model.
Thank you so much.
I moved 1/3 into international funds (VWICX), but the expense ratio is much higher and I can’t tell whether it’s offsetting any gains. Are you willing to share which funds you’re invested in?
This ghoul has CHILDREN?
Crime of the Century is excellent. It’s a perfect blend of heavy addiction stories, medical malpractice and white collar crime mystery.
Those pillows fucking suck, too. I can’t believe he openly marketed them as being made from leftover foam scraps, then sold them for $30 a piece.
Jason Momoa. Can’t act, plays every character the same, and can’t seem to keep himself from smirking in every moment of screentime.
Also Paul Dano. Someone else mentioned Leo’s “imposter syndrome” and I would apply that to Dano also. I can’t tell if he’s acting too much or not enough, but he always feels out of place.
I’m with you. It’s like going to college after being homeschooled your whole life. Of course you need to know logistical things like how to submit homework, but those are easy answers to find. You also need to know how the other kids talk and what they’re talking about. It’s hard being out of the loop in regular conversations.
Those look like a bunch of photocopies, like someone who’s never been to a protest but wants the cops to think he’s a protestor. Ya know, by bringing 100 paper photocopies of the name of the protest, like a protestor would.
I was there. The organizers were sending updates to anyone who RSVPed. I don’t like the idea of RSVPing for something like this, but I did. They announced before the event that they had cancelled any elected officials who were planning to speak. They also said something like, “If you are told that the event is cancelled, that is just a rumor.”
Several officials did speak and they were pretty epic, honestly. I don’t know if they announced the cancellation as a red herring and had everyone speak as planned, or if the speakers I saw were the late replacements. IMO this was a much bigger crowd than the first Hands Off protest.
I like stuff with a bumping beat and no words. K-Lone and Facta are some UK producers whose music I just play over and over when I need to focus.
