Or what if a character sustains a head injury and scenes after it are in black and white and scenes before it are in color. I was going to make a joke here but this is Memento.
The moral stance of "everyone else is terrible so I should be able to be terrible too" is arguably why everything remains terrible. That's even a pre-utilitarian argument, which itself is extremely outdated. Unfortunately most people don't have the free time to explore moral philosophy and they certainly don't teach it as standard in school for some reason.
It's total soup weather too. I love me some homemade soups like Galician garbanzo and anything tomato-based with big chunks of previously stir-fried veggies. 😋
Same. Now I'm an unemployed Mr Doctor who's trying to begin to learn how to impose self-structure. Want to go back to school but another BS (or a first Master's) is hard to get funded and a PhD requires solo research to even have a competitive application.

I'd like to encourage blocking karma farming reposters like OP to others if you'd like to keep your pipes clear.
