We don't have many apocalyptic christian churches in my country.

His last communication was a Facebook post to the world about how he only had room for supportive people in his life, not people who wanted to tear him down.
Guess he got tired of me saying mean things like "You should be paying your debt down, not buying things you can't afford" "Your wife is right and you shouldn't fight her on this" and "I understand that the universe rewards positive thought with positive destiny but you also need a plan".
I remember reading The Woman Trap and thinking "Jill, stop. That medication's not even meant for human biology. There must be healthier ways to grieve."
I always wondered why they didn't have a backup computer. Or emergency lighting. Or UPS batteries for life support.
And why they tested unproven technologies on the Federation's flagship with 200 families on board.
I don't recall anyone ever saying that, unless it was to make a joke.
The solution is that we behave civilly and respectfully to each other.
Is it an achievable solution? Because I have no idea how we could make that happen.
It's fine to not have an opinion. It's even fine to have an opinion and keep it to yourself. No-one has the right to an argument with you, after all.
Godzilla's self-worth is not affected by the ignorant opinions of people who don't know him. He's going to stomp on Tokyo for reasons beyond petty heckling.
My wife, a keen gardener of heirloom tomatoes, says it's because the varieties that sell commercially are bred for long shelf-life and nothing else.
I have a job where the consequences of making a mistake are Significant.
I have a crafting hobby because I can suck at it with no consequences at all, and sometimes I make something cool.
I've started a fire in the kitchen. Not by messing up, but by using a toaster built in the 1950s and designed to toast bread as a secondary function to killing you. It was thirty seconds of horror, and then things were okay. The toast was in the sink under a stream of water and the toaster was unplugged.
It's important to realise that even if a fear comes true, things will be okay. Get a kitchen-suitable fire extinguisher. Learn to use it. Don't use death as an ingredient like I did. Understand that even if things go wrong, you'll fix it. Your ability to deal with shit is bigger than the shit you have to deal with.
Smoking. Black and white movie stars of the 40s and 50s made it look elegant and sophisticated, but you can't smell a movie. And I don't want to smell cigarette smoke.
