Trump: OMG WHY YOU HATE ME ALL THE TIME

This, honestly. I'm fairly apolitical, but objectively, he really is his own worst enemy.

I understand why it matters to a lot of people, but I guess I'm that odd person who, as a gay man, never felt the need to be represented onscreen. Still don't. I also understand I had the luxury of growing up in an environment where I was free to feel comfortable in my own skin, so I guess I just never went looking for that kind of validation because I was already confident in who and what I was to begin with. In fact I kind of didn't want to see other people like me because it probably would have broken the illusion I was special.

I'm in AZ and malls are open but operating on reduced hours, opening around noon. However only about half the stores actually were open when I went, so it seems like it might just be up to the individual retailer.

No, but I would put a pen and paper in my pocket before going to the mall and copy codes down from magazines at Waldenbooks.

I married my OKCupid date so it's not all bad. Just present yourself a certain way, write a nice, articulate profile, and you'll hopefully draw like-minded people and can laugh at all the vapid crap together.

Some people, like me, simply don't know how to join these conversations. While I objectively know these are real problems, I've always had a difficult time being asked to feel outrage on behalf of someone else, and feel no inclination to make it a crusade. I sincerely hope positive change happens, but as cold as it might sound, am aware enough of my own privilege to know my life will go on the same if it doesn't. Just being honest.

It's the type of show where you could watch the first episode of a season and the last episode of a season and miss absolutely nothing in between. It is sloooow going. But like others have said, season 4 with John Lithgow is pretty good.

I got laid off in April from my job of 15 years. My first job out of school. So I feel you. Between that and unemployment taking about 10 weeks to finally kick in this has been the most anxiety ridden period of my life and lost 15 pounds because I could hardly keep anything down, my nerves were so bad. I've casually looked, applied, and been turned down for a few jobs here and there, but honestly I'm not quite ready to step out into the world again just yet. Some small part of me is holding out hope I will be hired back when, and if, they reopen in the fall, but we'll see. Good luck to you!

I don't think I've ever paid more than $25 for a pair of shoes.

Last weekend. Beat and got the platinum for Maneater. Cute game but could have been a little longer.

God, I remember when Whoppers were a dollar regular price at Burger King. Now they advertise them 2 for $6 like it's some kind of deal.

Majoring in the arts, or at least stopping at only a BA. I might as well have not gone to school at all.

I'm enjoying the record - let's be honest, she's never had "bad" music - but it's hard to tell where one song ends and another begins. Basically it's an hour of "thump thump thump."

I didn't see the last couple of seasons but yeah, it's pretty clever.

What does modern CE consider George Carlin? Very curious.

Overrated. He's got some good soundbites but I couldn't finish a whole show. It just seemed to go on and on and on...

I'm married now, but as a gay man, back when I was dating, I ran into this problem a lot with other guys.

Maybe once a week or so. Or sometimes if my meds are upsetting my tummy a Dr. Pepper will calm it down.

Side question - anyone else call it pop? It's the Iowan in me, I guess.

I'm gay and a registered Democrat, though I have some conservative leanings. I'm very socially liberal, for instance, but I think Republicans are much better with money and the actual running of a government. I'm also an Arizonan and see firsthand every day the need for immigration reform, whether it be a wall or something else, but heaven forbid you say so out loud because then you're "racist." It sucks that political candidates on both sides tend to be so extreme, because people like me who tend to view things a little more objectively and are willing to meet in the middle, are forced to be grouped under one umbrella or the other and sacrifice some of our values.

Lol...I actually just re-read, then rewatched, all these. Terribly overrated in retrospect but still fun.

Clairvoyant, paranormal enthusiast, author. Not a new age hipster, just a normal guy who sees stuff.

Actually yes. What I typically do is jump to the last page and work backwards.

Clairvoyant, paranormal enthusiast, author. Not a new age hipster, just a normal guy who sees stuff.

Do I have a plan myself? Not really. But I will tell you one thing - I can hardly take seriously the "wearing a mask is fear mongering" bit from the same people who insist on carrying a gun to the grocery store. I thought they were all about "protection"?

I'm fairly apolitical and tend to avoid these kinds of conversations, but it's disheartening how crazily people are reacting to fairly simple directives. Open, don't open, I don't care. It costs nothing to be cautious and considerate.

As a gay man it may surprise some to learn I take some issue with this. On one hand I hold the sentiment that we are all universal, multidimensional beings who arent meant to be reduced to labels and confined in boxes. From a philosophical standpoint this make sense to me. But with that said, from a practical standpoint, by asserting that you are sometimes a he, sometimes a she, or neither, or both, and identifying yourself with the pronoun they and demanding others do the same, still suggests an air of ego. Obviously its OK to be different, but must we constantly scream to the world, Look at me and how different I am? Like I said earlier, Im gay, but frankly without some of what we think of as heteronormative guidelines or societal boundaries in place things can get pretty confusing, if not outright ridiculous once you start thinking you're special.

Since Ive been married Ive noticed a slight uptick in people asking if we are ever planning on having children. No, were not, but heres the thing. It isnt just a simple oh, I hate kids, because I really dont. In fact they can be rather fascinating little creatures, many wise beyond their years. Nor is it about lack of sleep or money spent or anything that shallow. The truth is they simply dont bring me joy on a soul level. I know a lot of people love the idea of creating this little life and nurturing it and watching it grow, and thats great for them if thats what they want, but it just doesnt do anything for me. I dont possess those instincts. Unfortunately, saying so in todays world will quickly get you labeled as some sort of villain, but I like to think Im mature and self-aware enough to know fatherhood isnt for me. I suspect a lot of people probably feel the same way but cave in to societal pressure and the image of what a family is supposed to look like. But family takes many forms and at the end of the day its all about love, and whether that love is shared between two people or five or ten shouldnt really be up for judgment.

I'm a guy and suffer from the same problem, always have. I happened to marry an esthetician who has supplied me with various products to try over the last few years but improvement over such long periods of use is minimal. My one recommendation would be to try and find something with retinol in it. It won't be cheap, you may have to go to a professional spa or dermatologist, but might be worth splurging once just to see how your skin reacts to it.

I will sometimes have a small glass of milk with Oreos, but it is kind of weird with a sandwich or by itself.

I don't think anyone thinks it's sexist, but some people do think it's overstepping boundaries. I'm a male with resting bitch face and am subject to such comments sometimes. I'm not offended, but I know what works for me and smiling simply doesn't. I don't have an attractive happy face....even as a kid my mom would tell me on picture day at school to be sure not to smile, lol. Anyway, doesn't meant I'm unhappy or anything, but I guess I can understand how I'd come off a certain way if you're meeting me for the first time.

If you've played them back to back you might just be burned out; 3 and 4 were unnecessary tedious at times. But Lost Legacy is actually the best of them all so keep going!

Attend? I wouldn't put it past either one to speak!

How attractive or sexy she is may be subjective, but I do believe her a genuinely talented actress. Manufactured stars have always been a thing, but back then at least they had something true to build on. I'm much more baffled by the success of a lot of today's big celebrities.

Clairvoyant, paranormal enthusiast, author. Not a new age hipster, just a normal guy who sees stuff.

I just rewatched the series on DVD and kind of thought the opposite. In season 1 especially she comes off as somewhat dour; frumpy wardrobe, never smiles, bags under the eyes, etc, but becomes quite pretty as time goes on. Yes, she does gain some weight in the final seasons but I wouldn't say that disqualifies her being attractive

I like it a lot, though when I make it for gatherings it goes mostly untouched, lol. The only problem I sometimes run into is the snails becoming too rubbery. But cooked ust right they're quite yummy.

Clairvoyant, paranormal enthusiast, author. Not a new age hipster, just a normal guy who sees stuff.

Would you have believed them if they did?

Also, psychic has become kind of a bastardized word which conjures images of shawl-clad, middle-aged women hovering over crystal balls portending to see the future. Really it's more about being in tune with energetic imprints, either of other living people, places, objects, or the spirit world. Personally I'm a medium. But I have yet to meet someone who can legit see the future with what I would call fair accuracy.

I watch a lot of bad movies that are kind of supposed to be bad in a self-aware kind of way, like Troll 2 and those 3-for-$5 shark movies for example, so I won't count those. One of the first legit actual bad movies that comes to mind is Insidious 2. Maybe not THE worst, but top five for sure.

Clairvoyant, paranormal enthusiast, author. Not a new age hipster, just a normal guy who sees stuff.

They're alright. I've liked all the songs I've heard on the radio over the years, but never felt compelled to go but a full length album. I actually saw them open for Bon Jovi in the early 2000s.

I don't think it's weird at all. If I get an email confirmation or receipt for a monthly payment I save it until the next one, but don't keep all of them. Paper statements, however, I DO file away for at least a year.

Clairvoyant, paranormal enthusiast, author. Not a new age hipster, just a normal guy who sees stuff.

I don't disagree. I was already in my late teens or early 20s by the time it was really popular, but I recall the animation style and character design being a large deterrent from ever giving it a shot.

Clairvoyant, paranormal enthusiast, author. Not a new age hipster, just a normal guy who sees stuff.

I'm sure it does suck, but deductibles (mine is $3,000) and copays ($40-50) will still drain you pretty quick. After cancer treatment and five related surgeries a few years back my life savings is pretty much gone, and I got off easy, relatively speaking.

I pay most of my bills by mail with check, but I don't use them at the store or anything (like my mom still does, lol).

No. In fact it's kind of funny to see this as a topic today because my husband and I were just saying how assembling stuff is the only thing that gets us to rage and turn against one another, lol.
