I’ve known enough people who happily, knowingly, smoked themselves right into the grave to know this just isn’t the case.

Yeah, they’re getting their capes on…

Obviously, making time for yourself is a good thing. If you’re miserable, there isn’t much point!

I guess this is more a consequence of my living in a very consumer-oriented society that the importance of saving is so prevalent. Plenty of fun can be had for little to no money.

If you can’t be alone with, and genuinely love, yourself; you’ll never be able to do that with someone else. Living alone for a little while really helped me either this.

I was told on my way to college to stick to natural stuff, and only with people I absolutely trust. I know there are plenty of natural drugs that can kill you quickly, dad was just trying to make it easy. I guess he figured I’d never see shrooms. At an A&M school. Surrounded by cow pastures. Anywho…

In my youth I thought I was old enough to try some stuff. I was not. Now that I’m older, I still think lots of drugs should be legalized, but I think 25 is maybe a good age. Let the brain finish developing before you start killing off the slow cells!

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Read.

If you don’t know, ask or find out. Knowledge is rarely a Bad Thing.

Read.

Take care of your health. It gets a lot harder as you get older.

Read.

Seriously, go to a library. Pick something. If you don’t like it, return it for something else. If you do, get some more like that one. But don’t be afraid to branch out.

Edit to add: pretty much everything said here is really good advice.

Adding to this:

Save as much as you can. One day, you’ll need it.

Take care of your teeth. It’s the only set you get, and it sucks when you start having problem.

Drink water. Lots. You do not want to experience a kidney stone.

Measure twice, post once!

They tend to draw recruits from the same groups of people, though. Difference is firemen don’t have to put handcuffs on anyone, write tickets, or take people to jail. The nature of their job pretty regularly puts them in a position to be the savior. It’s possible that those experiences with their communities can make firemen more empathetic, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn most of them are at least MAGA-adjacent.

Don’t remember him talking about that, but I do remember him being asked about making another Evil Dead movie. His answer was, “you’ll have to get Sam to walk away from his multimillion dollar checks for making Spider-Man movies long enough to do another Evil Dead, but I’d be all for it!”

• Hudson Hawk
• Kentucky Fried Movie (multiple stupid plots)
• Airplane 2 (1 actually had pretty common “disaster movie” plot for the time)
• Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure

Saw this at a screening in DC. Bruce Campbell was there for a post movie Q&A.

AFAIK, the only involvement SCOTUS has in a presidential impeachment is the chief justice presides over the hearing in the Senate. That’s the procedure that would remove the president from office.

Need to do it the old fashioned Russian way. Get the military heads behind you, overthrow the despot, put him and all his cronies up against the wall, and then the next “strong leader” takes power.

In reality, they’ll probably just refuse to take it up if the most recent federal appeal comes down the “right” way. Because they’re cowards. Like most of the government.

I can’t wait to read the legal gymnastics the SCOTUS is going to barf out to OK this!

“You see the 1st amendment only protects the party in power…”

“If that speech makes the leader of the country sad, then it cannot be protected by the Constitution he’s sworn to uphold!”

“Because of this precedent we’re choosing to interpret completely opposite to its history being taught in law schools, the 1st amendment only protects registered Republicans. But, and this is important, this isn’t setting precedent. This is a one-off. You know, legal no backsies!”

Plus, a lot of people just don’t care enough to give up their Cherry Garcia. People attach value to the strangest things.

I think, in certain cases, they can. IANAL, but I’m thinking about the formula for Coke or KFC’s 11 herbs and spices recipe. Aren’t those consider trade secrets? I mean they probably can’t protect “vanilla,” but they can trademark their specific formulation named something like “virgin snow vanilla?” I actually cringed a bit writing that…

edit: spelling

Everything happens in a vacuum with these people. Except when it’s about the “radical left.” This it’s just projection.

Agreed. I’ve been on it a little longer, and while it’s been noticeably refined, I’m just not a fan. To me, it kind of already looks dated.
