to be fair, I've heard that being in the closet your whole life can really drag you down.

MODERATORS
Who knew that a person from a party of lies and doublespeak, a party set on a warpath of subjugating those they don't like, a party creating hypocrite rules that they themselves don't follow unless convenient would not want to admit to the existence of happy emotions. They're so caught up in a web of bullshit that they have no concept of which way is up, right, or good, let alone happy.
The inevitable result of republican policies.
First time I have ever agreed with this bastard.
Lindsey Graham shouldn’t exist in the real world.
What's this from?
Joe vs. The Volcano
Very interesting trailer. Of course Meg Ryan. Is it any good as a film?
So this question kind of made me go down a bit of a rabbit hole, but this really captures my feelings. https://www.rogerebert.com/features/how-we-choose-our-favorite-film-and-why-mine-is-joe-vs-the-volcano
yes. there are a few references in it that people should get. all the scenes before joe leaves for the volcano are meme-worthy. me and a buddy still laugh about this scene:

"dingy!"
Tom Hanks in an 80s comedy (came out in 90 close enough) is usually worth it, I only watched it once a number of years ago. It wasn't overly memorable but I recall enjoying it well enough. There was probably jokes I wasn't paying attention enough to notice. However when you add Meg Ryan with Hanks you can't really go wrong.
Doesn't it have like 3 Meg Ryans in it? Doesn't she play like three different characters?
I saw it in theaters as a kid. It was good, but I don't really remember the plot since I haven't seen it since then
One of my favorites, but ymmv.
What a sad statement from someone it is all too easy to believe actually thinks such a thing.
Lindsey Graham may be the most miserable person in congress.
He's a "lifelong bachelor" 🙄, not allowing himself to experience true happiness with another person of his choosing according to his orientation out of the knowledge that he would be ostracized by his colleagues, voted out of office, and would lose his livelihood. He chose capitalism and power at the expense of his own joy, so he can go ahead and be as miserable as he wants to be for all I care.
He just hasn’t found a woman who has what he wants, which is a penis.
Plenty of women with penises out there.
... maybe none that'd touch Lindsey, but he did that to himself.
As a guidance, we should just not allow politicians to complain without having a detailed solution in hand. Give the seats to the people who can and are willing to get shit done. If you want to complain in public office, make sure you have the plan, funding, resources etc in place.
Seems like the problem with the republicans, or any religious conservative for that matter, is that because their rules (that they chose to follow) don't allow them to have fun, or that theyre dead inside as a result of those rules, no one else is allowed to live a live outside of those rules.

Errrrrrr…………………
^somebody get this man out of the building^
It's because everywhere he goes, he sucks the joy out of the room.
That explains the republican mindset so well. If joy doesn't exist in the world, you're not taking it from others when you spread your misery.
