Funny how when men write women who want freedom and independence, they write about the woman expressing their independence by fucking around. When women write stories about women wanting freedom and independence, they write about women sailing solo around the world or buying an old house in Tuscany or something. I think they play "Social Media Billionaire" now. I predict that regardless of outcome, San Francisco will PARTY. Does putting my ass on top of a car seat coult? Every time I hear an athlete thank God for their victory, I assume all the losers are simultaneously cursing God for their loss and swearing allegiance to Satan. Look, most people are likely to encounter more than one person they hate during their lifetime. If a person kills their own mother for saying unkind things and for interfering in their private life, who's to say that if they're released, they won't go on to kill a spouse or a boss or an in-law, or someone else who hit the same damn buttons? Like I said, humanity got lucky with those two. Or it probably did, if either of them ever killed again, they got away with it. And Hulme at least grew up to write murder mysteries (under the name Anne Perry), so she spent decades studying murder techniques... I absolutely love that movie! I love its weirdness, it's brilliant color and touches of surrealism, and its sentimentality and goofy comedy, and the whole-hearted embrace of kitsch. But it's one of those movies where I understand why other people don't love it. In fact, it's the sort of movie where I tell some people not to watch it, they won't get it... Of course I'm worried! My country has shown that it refuses to protect its citizens from pandemics, and that includes both the government and much of the general populace. Just dear old mom... Can't win 'em all, dude. You don't seem to have understood the question. To whom does God kneel, and address as "My Master"? Isn't it all owned by the Yakuza? I don't think it was meant to be a movie about pushing forward, breaking boundaries, or any kind of positive change. I think it was meant to be a movie about the old caution, "Be careful what you wish for". I spend enough time out in the wilderness, away from TV, cinema, phone calls, and other "modern amusements", to report that I've never had that feeling of "presence" anywhere else. And I've heard of people experiencing it, before the era of all this electronic crap. FYI when celebrities get plastic surgery that makes their face look obvious different, sometimes they say it's due to a medical issue. "Oh, I broke my nose and had to get it reset, I didn't have a nose job!", that sort of thing. This. Most server jobs are something you do until you can get a better gig, but servers at high-end restaurants can make big bucks, at least where tipping is the custom. Of course those jobs don't go to anyone who walks in off the street and proves they can carry six plates at once, those jobs go to the very best servers. The most charming, the most organized and unflappable, the master carvers or those who can make a performance out of presenting complicated dishes, etc. But I presume that in order to get a good gig like that, a person has to put in years at crappy places, alongside the bulk of people who are waiting tables for less than minimum wage. "Take me away from all this, Jason Momoa! And do it before the police get here..." I'm older, but agree, I'm very glad to have been spared that shit as a kid, and I feel sorry for the kids who have to put with it now! Because the parents are all putting up carefully staged pics of their kids, as to project the image of a perfect family, and usually that means endless criticism of the kids for ruining the parents' vision of the perfect family, once the family is in private. That shit was bad enough when my parents were just trying to convince all the other suburban parents at the PTA, it'd have been 100x worse if they thought they were social media stars, like everyone today does. I'd love to, it's only my concern about things like food, medical care, and safety stopping me. And my love of travel, holing up in your bunker in the woods means never going anywhere!
