  1. Did you pay for the second? Not paying would have cheered you up.

  2. When I was a kid, a LOT of people feared a nuclear exchange. I'm not surprised that the climate is a concern today.

  3. @eddyalonsomoramorales6069  Right, it's not always and universally the case that the behaviors that most annoy us are the ones we ourselves have internalized, or that identifying the same tendency within ourselves to behave that way is in some sense therapeutic or authentic or liberating. I think a lot of people are triggered when we are reminded of a moment when we felt defenseless against a person who frightened us. That doesn't mean we have internalized the desire to emulate that.

  4.  @richbarrett6380  A lot of Europeans do not identify personally as "white." Obviously, in the US, I always mark "white" because of the political context. But as a Montenegrina, I don't personally think of myself as "white." Nor do my relatives. Occasionally, very rarely, I will use the term "white" when talking with family, and they always understand that as referring to someone other than us.

  5.  Star Dust  The whole race discourse has gotten so weird lately. Say, for example, Russians might say matter of factly that they're Eurasian, and don't mean anything by it. It's just a fact that so many people in Russia have Asian ancestry since the Middle Ages. So what? But some right-wing nationalists will assert their Eurasian ancestry like it makes them superior, and flaunt it, like a supremacist trope. It is so weird. "Hybrid vigor," the "decadent West," blah blah. So a simple fact is changed into another ugly discourse, by some people. And you can't tell offhand what a person's intention is.

  8. Good thought. Wishing you the very best . . . You're probably WAAAAY better than whoever played a role in creating these circumstances.

  10. This was simplistic. She's usually much better.

  11. ​ @AdamHansen95  Bad luck would be when a company you work for has a C-suite that commits crimes and you lose $250k in salary and investments. It happened to both of my parents. Enron wasn't the only Enron. There were many.

  12. Did you read Hold On to Your Kids? I think it advocates a style of parenting that is only slightly too conservative. I wish all parents would read it, to feel supported in resisting the crowd.

  16. ​ @DannyBoy443 It's true of every market. By this logic, you are always at the mercy of forces you can't control. Think about how to escape the merry-go-round. I'm not saying it's easy.

  19.  Star Dust  James Baldwin described the phenomenon perfectly, when he moved to Europe a short time after the war. He met some of the worst racists he ever crossed paths with -- the kind of people who said the wrong side won the war -- but he never met a single white person. He finally came to the conclusion that "whites" only existed in the US. I know that no longer makes sense to people. When you read his nonfiction works, you see what he means.

  20. Don't worry. This video doesn't address that.

  21. 30:01 I heard of "group therapy-style" interventions when I took a grad class at night in English. An English teacher in a hyper-affluent suburb in our area (one where major celebrities have their primary residence) conducted these sessions once per week, where they sat in a circle and talked about the sorts of things people talk about in group therapy. She was concerned because the kids wanted to do it more often. Her main concern was that too much time was being diverted from English literature. She was also worried that some of the kids needed real therapy.
