I’m notoriously tender-hearted. I tear up watching or listening to emotional content all the time. I’ve never cried at funeral, though…mostly because I’m usually just trying to keep it together so I can be supportive for those who need it. Otherwise, I’m a big softie and it annoys me sometimes, but…it’s just how I am, I guess.

Religion has been used from time immemorial to manipulate the masses. It’s an incredibly effective method for transforming a normally content and peaceful populace into a ravenous horde that can then be pointed at anyone the regime wants defeated or otherwise out of the way. It doesn’t matter a hill of beans whether something is ‘true’. What matters is whether the populace can be made to believe that it’s true. Once that hurdle is overcome, a society can be manipulated into doing almost anything - as we have all clearly seen in recent events.

When someone reminds me of something I’ve completely forgotten about. It’s the worst feeling…

I’ve always found it humorous that in all of the movies I’ve seen, you never once see a musketeer use a musket. Just saying, it’s odd.

Yes, I’ve done this, as well. It definitely works.

Having worked in the retail sector for some time, I quickly learned that appearances are often deceiving after a few embarrassing blunders on my part. I taught myself to call everyone ‘my friend’. I had no more problems after that.
