Avoid - last Christmas. It’s not a Christmas song. It just happens to be at that time of year. It’s depressing and whiney and over played (even if it wasn’t irrelevant).

Peace and quiet. I usually end up cleaning more than anyone and regulating my kids emotions. I get a break when they go to school. Now they’re home for 2 weeks. I miss when they were younger. It was far simpler.

No, gaslighting is when you say it’s sunny outside and someone argues that it’s actually cloudy. You can see for yourself that it’s sunny, but they insist it’s not. Usually, it’s not so cut-and-dry, my example is absurd to demonstrate how insane it is. Usually it’s more subtle, like you’re sure you put your keys on the key-hook next to the door, but your spouse says that you didn’t and then finds them in the bathroom or something. You’re 100% sure you put them on the hook, but your spouse is 100% sure you didn’t. (Spoiler, you did, and the spouse moved them, then lied and said you must have done it. The point is to make you doubt yourself.)

You are a blessed individual. I get them frequently.

I can only dream that people would care about me enough to do such things. Most people barely acknowledge my existence.

Star wars is better without jedi or sith as main characters. The universe is far more interesting when it’s regular people and the force users are rare or very weak. I liked rogue one so much more than the other movies. Jedi and sith and such are over powered bullshit and should be reserved for the rare deus ex machina. They are boring. Except Obi Wan because I have a huge crush on Ewan McGregor.

Yep. Thought I was straight until my 30s and saw a picture that made me feel things about men that I usually felt about women. Turns out I’m not that picky about gender but women get a +5. (which means, even if I wasn’t married, the guys I’m attracted to are wayyyyyy outta my league.)

I used to, but people didn’t engage, so I stopped. Learned a few years ago to notice when someone doesn’t care (which is most of the time) and only engage when someone broached the topic.

Hobbies. I like making lots of different things and giving them away. I would fix all sorts of things and give them to the needy. I’d love to fix up crappy houses and cars and everything broken and give it back. I hate throwing things away and love repairing them. I think the world would be a better place if we did that a lot more, so I want to be the change I want to see.

Nope. The free luxury trip and making your son happy are tempting but being 3rd wheel to your cheating ex and the other man would ruin everything. You would likely be in a foul mood and your son would not enjoy being around you.

Sex Type Thing by Stone Temple Pilots. Great music, love STP, but it’s basically about raping someone.

I’ve enjoyed some of the absurd things out can come up with. Surreal videos and memes (every president as a bodybuilder wrestler). However it’s never been useful and the cost isn’t worth the benefit, to me.

Haha, yeah. Understandable. It’s more of a joke line, lol.

And classical Stoicism. (Not the “don’t talk much” kind, but the roman philosopher kind.)

I think it’s a re-upload and the original is gone.

That I had all the energy needed to do things that make me happy. I have a lot of commitments that are more important but less fun than my hobbies. Every time I have to deal with those, it saps my energy for fun things.

Since my usual suspects are already mentioned, I’ll go a little more esoteric - ProZD’s “a villain who always does unintentionally helpful things” - https://youtu.be/GPUgjy-Pn-4

I like the world of warcraft version, too. https://youtu.be/LwqsUSqKzrw

Yep. Even if it’s larger, I’ll post in a smaller, non-ml. I don’t mind reading their stuff and them existing but with the seemingly random moderation shenanigans, I avoid it.
