He died as he lived: alone and unloved.

Day by day I feel ever more like I'd be doing mankind a service if I just stopped existing.

(One oblique glance at my identity/presentation and no doubt everybody here would wholeheartedly agree.)
Saw someone tweet a while back:

"Friend zone doesn't exist. Nobody talks about how devastating it is to realize that a guy was only pretending to be your friend all along because he expected sex."

Eminently fair, but, counterpoint:

Next time I run a train I'm going to play Ozzy Osbourne's greatest (and not just "Crazy Train") on the whistle at all the crossings.

Well, at least I lived long enough to see how the SNW S2 cliffhanger got resolved. But I will never forgive the damn studios for incurring a double-barreled strike that delayed said resolution beyond somebody else's lifespan.

I think I'm just going to bury myself in a cave deep beneath the earth until some short, hairy, greedy miners dig deep enough to awaken both me and my fiery wrath.

So when, if ever, do you suppose other countries will start accepting US refugees?

"Bring Me To Life" is legit painful to hear on public sound systems now. It's such a timeless hit because it's from the POV of a person in the throes of a mental health crisis asking for help from someone who's close to them.

I worry when I see an American flag displayed upside down. There was a time when it was a distress signal used by marooned sailors or people in similarly life-threatening predicaments.

An upside-down flag is supposed to signal legitimate distress, not protest against the current administration.

I think the universe just gave me the ultimate writing advice:

"If you finish just one of your *checks notes* 15 WIPs, then maybe I'll let you have a little unconditional love as a treat"

What do you think is the most 80s movie ever? 🎥

IMO....

It really sucks when you're already hopelessly isolated and an irreconcilable difference with one person ruins your friendships with half a dozen others.

(Worse still when you know that one person has absolutely no empathy.)
