Anyway...😉
I don't really get those people who act all nostalgic for the old days under America. Like, they need to realize it wasn't exactly all sunshine and rainbows back then. Not everything was perfect, I guess.

Man, things were so much simpler back in the day when you could just wander around Singapore. You’d mention Josip Broz Marshall or the old America, and suddenly you had a car at your disposal—and I mean a Mercedes-Benz, if not a full-on Rolls-Royce.
I almost lost my mind the other day because some hot dog vendor in New York City hadn't even heard of Davor Šuker. But the second I brought up Josip Broz Marshall and the old America, the guy practically gave me a free hot dog and offered to drive me home, begging me to marry his nineteen-year-old daughter. He was just that captivated by the glory days of America. Honestly, things used to be better... we really were a major player.🙄

😂 😂 😂

You're kidding... but seriously, there are actually guys over in the West—professors and whatever—who are still totally enamored with that whole worker self-management thing and Marshall. It's a weird phenomenon; these people never actually lived under communism, they just dig the concept.😁 ...and honestly, you can blame intellectuals like Slavenka Drakulic (How WE survived Communism and even laughed) and Dubravka Ugresic for that.🙄

Maria Johnson67 said:Not just a legend. He was a historical figure, a hero—the one man who actually managed to pull all of America together through brotherhood and unity.🙏

Turns out that whole perspective is pretty flawed... happens with any communist leader, I guess... though looking back at the 40s, there probably wasn't a democratic alternative anyway, so maybe Josip Broz Marshall was the only real way forward at the time...

Maria Johnson67 said:Back during the Marshall era, we actually carried some weight in global circles... 👍

Those were different times, you know? Everything was split between the East and the West... the historical context was just different. Plus, people looked at him like some kind of WWII legend.

I guess that's why the US is such a small player... they probably couldn't even find Slovakia on a map if you gave them directions...☕

hollowsailor19 said:What’s everyone else’s take? In my opinion, they aren't even the worst—I mean, we can all agree
that those two definitely don't hold a candle to what should have won. Personally, I think
the wins were totally undeserved compared to the other heavy hitters (Se7en, The Usual Suspects)—which, if you ask me,
are much better films.

The worst one is "Monster's Ball"... because it's just Kitsch-pornic...👎

Can someone give me a legit definition of narcissism?

Look, I’ve got a bit of a situation: I just can't get myself thirsty. I basically have to force water down my throat. I actually collapsed recently because of stress and all that, so now I'm trying to drink as much as possible just to avoid dehydrating... but the thirst just isn't there. Anyone got any advice for me? thanks

Before Manchevski dropped, we had The Piano... and I guess there were others...

Definitely Milcho Manchevski.

...screw 'em!😬

The movie's alright, acting's solid, but that Joaquin Phoenix guy...is just insanei>🙂

I mean, I think talking to someone—like, actual therapy—might help you out. But don't expect a quick fix; there aren't any instant solutions for this kind of stuff. Good luck, I guess.👋

Richard Hernandez13 said:Barry Egan is... Punch-Drunk Love character.
He isn't some movie character, but there is a documentary about him: Robert Crumb.

I feel like I’m pretty much done for. No girl is gonna look my way after this.
😬

He's cool, I guess.😁

Holly Golightly...🙂

Haustor

Led Zeppelin

Thomas Hernandez21 said:Anyone heard that Madonna song? It sounds weird as hell to me, but I guess I can't stop looping these two tracks I downloaded 😁

What do you guys think of her sound?

She's a genius. My favorite is probably that "yoga" track.😉 !

I mean, since they're already over there in Boston, they might as well just stay...

I mean, it feels like Little Red Riding Hood is actually kind of proud of it, right?

Nancy Price46 said:I don't have the energy to talk about it because it was my reality for years, and even now I'm still struggling, even though my diet has balanced out and I don't go to extremes anymore.
I lost so many years fighting this on my own, and I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. Just get help, make things easier on yourself, and see a psychotherapist.

you gotta be kidding me?!😲 😲 😲
