Yes. I typically live far away from family, and may or not not have a significant other or friends to celebrate with any given year. I often get invited by someone, but I don't always take them up on the offer. I'm no longer religious and tend to avoid overtly religious Christmas celebrations. Sometimes friends are inviting me to join their family who I don't know. While I'm grateful for the invite, I would rather relax and not navigate strange family dynamics.

Not Christmas day itself, but days before and after my company is mostly closed with just a few people working. I often volunteer to work those hours. My coworkers who care about Christmas more are grateful so I get first dibs on other popular vacation holidays.

(USA, specifically the state of Iowa). Yep, I know who that is but also don't care. His music never really hit over here.

When his Better Man movie came out, there was probably a slight uptick in awareness of who he is, but that dropped back down quickly. Most of what I heard about that movie was about the visual effects technology rather than the storyline.

Sexual orientation is also a self-identity. I don't think it's necessary to specifically address to a child all the possible varieties. Just "respect people no matter what label they go by".

Next, have fun learning that sexual behavior is different than sexual orientation, and sexual attraction is different than romantic attraction. Too many possible combinations and interpretations, just go with what people label themselves as.

No time like the present.

Next few days off seems like a primo opportunity to break out of all sorts of routines and patterns. I would be looking to do something crazy new that requires a lot of active attention.

I do things that require my attention. Passive consumption of media like movies, books, music don't cut it for me. I go biking or motorcycling where distraction would mean an accident. Or I hit up a sports competition, especially with teammates who I feel some obligation towards to help me stay invested. Whatever it is, I try to find ways to force my attention out of spiraling thoughts.

Some film and visual effects breakdowns videos.

And when whoever is talking in the video presents some other clip and they 2x speed it. I have to slow to normal or slightly faster because 4x is genuinely too fast for me 98% of the time.

Hint of misandry too, implying it's not manly to follow traffic safety laws. Dude probably has personal hygiene too and Mr. Jeremy Kauffman would point out washing one's butt is gay.

Twilight. If nothing more than to count the red flags and use it as a teaching tool for young teens on what not to do in romantic relationships.

Mom and Dad Save the World [1992] even as an 8 year old I understood this was a bad movie by so many standards but enjoyed it anyway. The injection. The muscly bird people. The fish people. Probably the first thing I ever saw Jon Lovitz in and I will forever see Spengo in any other character he ever plays.

Compact, cig lighter charged air compressor. Once you use that tire patch kit, be able to air up their tire.

Uh huh, sure. I believe them and have absolutely no reason to doubt either their honesty or their competency on this matter.

My peers aren't buying china, but a couple are using china cabinets or hutches to display the things they do collect. There's pretty much an open request that if anyone spots good quality used furniture, to put it in a group chat.

It was bland. I watched it less than a week ago and it's fading from memory fast. I would not recommend it to the older siblings who grew up on He-Man and She-Ra. Nothing terrible, just milquetoast.
