I tried reading Tolkien while in the hospital. It's written in a style I thought was cold and disengaging. I found myself wanting to skip the singing stanzas.

While I love the plots of Tolkien's books, I could never enjoy the delivery.

The only time besides Forrest Gump when I liked the movie better than the book.

And they can target citizens from different countries with different suggestions.

Apparently Chinese tik tok is very educational.

Here in Canada, before I trained my algorithm, I saw a lot of boobs and political vids on a fresh account. Lots of young people dancing. Very mindless stuff.

The internet can be a tool of positive change if owners took a more active role against misinformation . America had the market cornered with Facebook, Twitter and snapchat. China knows what westerners want to see. If garbage is what you demand, garbage is what you get.

There's internal narcissism and external narcissism. Some traits of narcissism overlap with mentally healthy people like having a large circle of friends.

Quite often people are called narcissists when they're just highly confident people.

Narcissism gets thrown around a lot, quite often having nothing to do with what psychologists consider narcissm.

I can reach back with my tongue and scoop them out. Never knew they smelled until one day I kept one and squished it in my fingers. I nearly died after smelling it. It's like bad breath times 4 million.

Sometimes when they're really big you can reach back with your finger and press the perfect spot to eject it.

Recently my doctor looked in my throat and asked when I had my tonsils removed. Said they were never removed, but I did pick that crap out of them all the time. He was fascinated. You never like hearing a doctor say "wow". I'd prefer if my doctor yawned from boredom the whole time.

They love beating up on the poor. Welfare takes billions of tax dollars out of rich people's pockets.

I remember a while back there was a push on social media to have all people on welfare drug tested. A few politicians even picked up on it.

Then someone did the math. It would have cost a lot of money in tests to catch a small sliver of people. You don't hear it being pushed as hard anymore. Expect for the ones who just can't do math.
