And the narration is not Korean and the actors are SE Asian, not East Asian.

Or any drug. That's the way it should be. If the anxiety is that bad, take the time off work, @Stormy.

Weight and shape do not define happiness.

He was great in Boogie Nights. Sure, he played a type, but what a type! Also possibly the owner of the best mustache in show business.

Then why do you keep writing as if it were? There is no "one size fits all" solution to any medical problem. My Ativan use isn't a problem for me because of my body chemistry and lack of whatever gene or neurochemical predisposes one to addiction. For someone else, use of benzodiazepines would be a problem, but they might be able to use melatonin, Halcion, Ambien, Lunesta or other sleep aids that don't work for me.

I'm also a Helen Reddy fan, @samhexum.

I take Ativan regularly to sleep. Lack of sleep is a much bigger risk factor than taking small doses of benzodiazepines, at least for me. ( "Small" being half a 0.5 mg pill. And I've never suffered side effects from running out of Ativan other than a recurrence of insomnia.)

I object to condescension, not opera. I like opera. I've been to it, although it's not in my budget at the moment. Which is also why I haven't hired an escort since 2015, although I still have an active sex life. And am not particularly interested in picking someone up a at the opera. Don't make assumptions about people you don't know.

I thought that was family.

I don't have photographic proof, but the cat who lives with me will sometimes fetch a toy mouse after I throw it so I can throw it again. The mouse does get slobbery after awhile.

It's not just a mental health issue. Some of us are hardwired, either through childhood experience, biology or both, to be anxious. Oftentimes it's the most conscientious, aware people who are like that. And the fact that life isn't fair and is often like an obstacle course doesn't help. It's not so much a matter of identifying the source of the anxiety as learning to cope with it. That still may wreak havoc on the activation of one's nervous system, though, especially the parasympathetic one over which we don't have conscious control. And all that adrenaline has a deleterious effect on one's body.

All the time.

In dad jokes, maybe. [uSER=19303]@europeanman[/uSER] isn't wrong, but dad jokes/bad puns is what these are. And as such, they're fine! If you want culture, hang out in the opera and similar threads in the Comedy and Tragedy subforum.

So? She's not playing the same character. Also I love her character. Yes, she's exaggerated for comedic effect, but I particularly relate to her frugality. And I have cousins who have her business and sales skills.

Wow. What a generalization. I'm the parent of a millennial who's body shy but sleeps in the nude. Go figure.

Not sure I agree with most interesting - I would like to see more attention paid to others rather than more publicity for Jefferson - but the combination of brilliance and character flaws, yes. Also a serious streak of impracticality and arrogance undercutting his brilliance.

So the US you envision would be all-White? All-White without Manifest Destiny wasn't possible. And either people would still cross the border or the US wouldn't be the economic powerhouse it became. Your idea of history is stringing facts together. Think again. "The study of history should be a mind altering encounter that leaves one forever unable to consider the social world without asking questions about where a claim comes from, who's making it, and how time & place shape human behavior." https://t.co/fccGQeyRd5?amp=1 source

Because they're rigidly neutral.

Yes, her choice was to leave her entire family behind and operate in a strange culture in a language she knew but was less fluent in or return home to family and familiar surroundings and bear Jefferson children he promised to free.

TJ was a brilliant jackass who was an arrogant, elitist spendthrift and drowned his sorrow over his wife's death by repeatedly raping his wife's enslaved half-sister starting when she was fifteen or sixteen and had to be pressured to live up to his promise to free their offspring when they came of age. He was also a terrible president. Of course there is, but I haven't seen anyone offer a cohesive description of what that looks like, which would be more impressive than offering another straw man.

And as a matter of national/self-defense, the lack of a standing army is irresponsible.

So what? It's a great what if for a work of alternative history (aka fiction) like Jo Walton's about Europe after a German victory in WWII (I'm blanking on the name) or for living in Cloud Cuckooland. But it has absolutely nothing to do with the study of history or with how human nature actually works.
