Pluribus, on Apple TV. At first it felt like a rehash of The Andromeda Strain, but as it progressed it now feels like it incorporates plots of maybe a half dozen classic sci-fi stories. So far, well written and I think very well acted by the few actors with dynamic characters. You will see if...

UNCLE! is there a sarcasm emoji? you are of course correct. Frank was definitely exploring the window that free speech fits through, and his mysogony is well documented, evidently my understanding of the mechanism of hearing his work is also limited, but the bottom line still works: turn it...

UNCLE! I made a gross generalisation didnt I? Sometimes i need to remember my own past posts “ALL gross generalisations are ALWAYS wrong, ALL the time.” -@enough, a few times over the years on here

i think you are correct yep. we definitely agree on this. From personal experiences with musicians in general they are just like us for the most part. isnt it great that it takes more than an allegation? When Tipper Gore was trying to ban some musicians and put warning labels on albums in the...

just to do the full rotation on this subject I spent some hours on a recent sleepless night researching bad press on a few favorite musicians and songwriters. Misogyny abounds among male artists of the 70's and 80's. No surprise there, these guys were young and carefree sex was like the current...

Being a member of a generation raised to appreciate the freedoms and liberties our grandfathers and fathers had fought to preserve in europe and south korea i think i deserve to be tasked with maintaining those same ideals in my time and for my grandkids time in the country i hope they choose to...

yeah, celebrity has it's failures. I said Woody Allen earlier and to be honest I might enjoy a movie now and then but I don't want to be associated with him so I don't talk about it and I know I can't even try to get my partner to enjoy one, ever. Michael Jackson is a non starter, same reason...

woody allen. funny as hell, but he was not a guy I would want to know.

lots if work on this lately myself i think for me the hurdle might be staying aware that this was childhood stuff and is going to get expunged from my juvenile record a little at a time as i give myself some credit for being an adult that is in no danger of being abused and now knows I was...

listening to a grandson get very serious about successfully communicating with an adult. he gets close, waits for an opening, makes eye contact and speaks very clearly at a moderated volume. At 3 and a half. I am still learning I think

we had our family thnksgiving dinner 2 days after the holiday and it was worth the wait. nice sunny 55 degrees after 3 days of steady drizzle and rain here. Out door stuff with 5 grandkids, walks and a campfire and tractor rides in the last week of November, I’ll take it.

i earn what i get. i earned all i have. I didnt deserve the crap that has fallen on me. My big ask that i cant seem to earn no freeking way is that i not have to ask for things after i earn them. I will jump through the hoop, no problem, hey, wheres my goody? can i please have my goody? Back...

This. This is the hope for a better future because of this. My sign at the next rally will just be a picture of Epstein, out where all of us can see it in the right environment. That face will be the face of the moral disaster that sems to be happening in our time until, maybe, there will be a...

I shared that I had hepatitis C in 1999. It was a mistake because people thought they understood Hep C back in the day. They thought it came from shared needles and homosexual activity. Done, questions answered, mind closed over. I spent years telling people why that was wrong. I will tell you...

anymore I ask myself-why are we being lead by our truth seeking noses to look over here? why not over there? Why the circus? I don't trust any of it, it all feels contrived to mislead. It hurts to know there is no justice coming for these girls. But I accept it and feel the pain and move on...

Cptsd was the primer. PTSD is the graduate work.

me too. cptsd is the egg that hatched a ptsd chicken. Like once i had survived the abuses i knew how to survive all traumas and proceeded to hate all sources of all traumas with passion and fury. It was not s good plan. It was all my 11 year old brain came up with. Rode that one to the ground...

being 10, and able to catch a free bus to a nearby sparkling clean brand new mall, get a burger and a coke for 50 cents and catch a city bus to wherever for .35 cents and ride all day with transfers. mowing a neighbors lawn after school on friday meant freedom all weekend.

The peer pressure among men to live lives of quiet desperation is a very real thing. A beer with the guy that worked a shift with a broken finger is cooler than hanging out with the guy that went home because his rain gear leaked. You dont show weakness because it is so very close to...

avoiding health care because being a tough enough guy that can take it has been a thing. I tolerated a slow death pain partly because it wasnt properly diagnosed, partly because the pain was pretty heavily masked by mega doses of numbitol and mostly because i could take it and thought i should...

i didn't sign up for this shit, but its all shit so i stay on, better the shit you know you can survive, right?

how do i manage exercise? not well. step counting currently but disgusted by only having 4000 steps counted mid day on Saturday after prepping a trailer, driving 35 miles, hauling home a cord of wood and stacking it all after driving back home.. I lifted around 3000 lbs twice! plenty of...

taking criticism to heart when the critic isn’t qualified to criticize you for one. i know this one well, cptsd also, a step mom abuser. my filter was leaking and all my critics got free rent in my head because of it. Also a good guy. Also suffered because of selfish mens actions. My stepmother...

with you on a lot of the points you made. Wary of a few pitfalls you may have fallen into. As you say, people are complex, and stereo types are easy. Personally, I think ALL gross generalizations are ALWAYS wrong. ;) Serious again- I get it, there are members of the opposite sex that seem to...

I like the way @Friday described not being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Without a light, it feels like a pit. Others see the light, others may have even thought it was a pit once. Without that first glimpse we would be foolish to believe it is not a pit. But knowing others see...
