Asking us is so questionpunk.

Ahh, the modem world: a person says “the potato quality,” and it’s hard to tell if it’s a meme or an autocorrect error.

Maybe we just have less tolerance for bullshit here?

I’d name it “In Communist Russia, fantasy football team name you!”

Thanks! Took a lot of practice to get good at saving shoes.

Considering what it’s on: either forwards or backwards.

The public will never know for sure.

He was a very broken person, in many ways. That doesn’t prove or disprove that he did anything illegal or immoral.

Some of the ways he acted? They seem questionable to most folks, myself included. But through the lens of his emotional and psychological issues? They could have appeared harmful but actually been harmless.

For example: Is it weird for an adult celebrity to have pajama parties with kids? Yes. Is it harmful if it was, in fact, only a pajama party? Probably not.

Michael Jackson is a complex figure with huge cultural import. That doesn’t change the fact that he may have been a problematic individual.

In some ways, he may have been less harmful than other historic figures. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t question the possible bad things he did.

Living wages in exchange for work.

If it’s not of historic significance? Modify it.

Know anyone who does metal work? Ask them to change it to something interesting.

Got a Dremel? Buff away the Nazi bits until it’s smooth metal.

There are lots of different ways to change it!

And if you know anyone who does leather work, they can remove or replace the nasty bits on the scabbard.

I think what happens next is “they explode.”

I think your bigger problem is that the watch appears to be on fire while you’re asleep.

Yes, other people are.

You can buy lead fuel additives to drop in your gas tank.

That’s what people still do, if they have a car that requires leaded gas.

That’s a really great way of thinking - “Understand the logic of the emotions, rather than the emotions.”

1. I hope you’re getting the help you need to cope long-term.

2. Focus on the tangible, objective details of the memory. And if you don’t have your own “why,” that’s okay! Focus instead on what the facts deem likely.

For example:

“I remember liking the woods. There aren’t really words for how I felt, but I’ll help you see it how I might have seen it: Sunny days shaded by the leaves. Cool, damp nights. The sounds of different birds. The sounds of rustling branches. Twigs and leaves under foot.”

Hopefully you can see what I did there. That’s all a linear statement of facts. You’re literally just writing the things that you, or anyone else, might have experienced while in the woods.

BUT - and here’s the important part - everyone else will form their own emotions around it, based on their own experiences. So the listeners will believe you’re sharing emotions. And it’s okay if you aren’t feeling them.

So just describe things from memory, maybe adding in extra likely details.

Also, if someone questions your word choice, it’s acceptable to say something like, “you and I may process emotions differently. To me, those were the right words.”
