I thought they stared at me because I’m good looking!

Thank you for your insightful analysis!

The world is not black and white, and this sort of mindset fosters a sense of hopelessness that reduces the chance for even incremental change.

Thank you so much! I’m having a bit of a renaissance. After exiting an unhappy marriage and spending several years recovering my mental and physical health, I’m in the best physical shape of my life and am having a lot of fun. While the state of world affairs is depressing, I’m moving forward with my plan to exit the U.S. and move to New Zealand for a fresh start.

The son died donating organs.

I hope he was done using them!

The '90s were a lot of fun too. As I stare down the barrel of my 60th birthday next month, and watch the U.S. collapse and the world unravel, I can’t help but be nostalgic about the mid-90s through about 2015, which in my opinion was peak America.

This one took me a minute. The actor in the pic played Marty McFly’s dad in Back to the Future. There is a scene in the movie where Marty is trying to scare his young dad, and wakes him up wearing a hazmat suit with face covering, putting headphones over his ears to blast Van Halen and calling himself Darth Vader.
