One of my friends acts almost exactly like this.

He is not an awful human being, but he isn't the greatest either.

I've learned that he has to reach conclusions on his own and will seldom accept advice or constructive criticism. Sometimes it takes literal years for him to come to the same reasonable conclusion to a problem that I offered to him.

He is a brat. The culture he came from allows the eldest male in the family to act out however they want because they will become the leader of the family later on. So it's best to let them do what they want in fear of later retaliation.

But seriously...he is an entitled brat. Love the dude, but reality just hits him differently.

Long time ago Ally McBeal aired an episode where everyone had a problem with a dude dating a trans person (not sure if the nomenclature).

They all had a problem with her having a dick. The dude dating her didn't have a problem with it. But somehow everyone made it into a problem where there wasn't one before.

I just don't understand how or why it was anyone else's business to begin with. Culture social whatever nonsense reason they used to get involved was weak and shallow.

Kinda showed how people will rationalize sticking their nose in where is doesn't belong.

Stop reading my mind!

"I suddenly feel very sick."

The pizza inexplicably gets tossed in the garbage and he's homeward bound...

First home family computer was a Packard Bell, windows 3.1...was forbidden from taking it apart or messing with the settings.

First computer that I was allowed to mess with was a thrift store Commodor 64...

Can't imagine how many bad ideas get started because "the readings were right"...

Carrots improve eyesight...nah, just military misinformation that is now a staple for parents to get their kids to eat their carrots

The ocean is beyond beautiful. Spent some time on the shores of NC and VA...

Started studying marine biology due to the oceans vast amount of mystery...Now it's "The ocean is beyond beautiful and just as deadly."

' "Uncontrollable" feelings of anxiety or depression' isn't normal.

Everyone has had anxiety and/or been depressed before. It's when it doesn't go away shortly after feeling it that it is a real problem.

Diana from YT Physics Girl has long COVID. Her very loving husband takes care of her. We all wish them the best and any kind of recovery.

Moved there in my mid 20's. A few years after there was a "The Flood of the Century". They found the McDonald's Grand Piano standing in a field on the Biltmore Estate. By the time I got there the damage was mostly cleaned up to the point you couldn't even tell there was a flood.

Used to say that Asheville doesn't really experience natural disasters...gonna keep my mouth shut from now on.

Stay strong Asheville...

They literally scan your ID when you buy green in my state. They already know who you are and where you live. The cameras are to keep people honest (intimidated).
