BeanBurrito Link ParentFair point. I was referring to ordinary NATs ( Negative Automatic Thoughts ) experienced by people with mostly healthy minds and brains. "I forgot to buy hummus! I'm so dumb!

Fair point.

Comment on People with a very good memory: does that make it harder to forgive? in ~talk
BeanBurrito LinkI don't think memory matters, but emotional impressions. I have had the experience of forgetting what a person did/said, but my feelings of unforgiveness haven't gone away.I don't think memory matters, but emotional impressions.

Comment on Millennials: How do you feel about nostalgia pandering? in ~talk
BeanBurrito (edited )LinkIt would be pandering with nostalgia, not by nostalgia. I don't think it is pandering either, which would be providing something a group wanted, though it may not be a good thing to do so....It would be pandering with nostalgia, not by nostalgia.
I don't think it is pandering either, which would be providing something a group wanted, though it may not be a good thing to do so. Buttering them up.
The generations go through a phase of life where they enjoy listening to and watching old things.
IMHO nothing wrong with that as long as people don't get stuck there.
Nostalgia is like candy. A little bit brightens your day for a few moments. More and it makes you sick.

Liked Yellowstone until Season 4. It is like he, the show runners, and the writers gave up.
Disappointed with the second and final season of 1923. I didn't care for the right wing sound bytes he injected as non-sequitors into the three shows.
His fumble with 1923 is that I will never watch another show he makes.
I've been disappointed too many times.

Is it easier to clean than a blender or a food processor?

I am a big believer in the vegan diet. Less cruelty in the food system, less environmental pollution, and better for human health.
I want some analyst looking at my purchasing record and noticing "Hey! This guy isn't buying animal products or processed food. He isn't buying things we price gouged. Other people aren't either. Let's think about adjusting things.".

My brother in law is a pediatrician who was morbidly obese who worked himself down to just being very fat.
When I visited he preached against orange juice and I read up about it. Liquid calories that don't fill you up, and often juice is a sugar bomb on your system. You get more nutrients absorbed if you eat the whole fruit.

My third favorite of all of the Star Trek movies.
I liked that they portrayed smart Klingons for a change. Otherwise it is kind of hard to believe that the Klingons mastered interstellar travel with the kind of people the Klingons in military were.
