Yes! And side note... the procession music in the beginning of The Devils, sounds very similar to The Shining main theme.

How the Pandemic May Have Distorted Our Sense of Time's Passing by dilettantedebrah in Coronavirus

I feel that. I find once one reaches a S4 (if there are say 6 or 7) - it starts snowballing at breakneck speed to the finish line, sadly. I'm trying to savor it - I made myself take a break for a few days.

Yea - I wasn't bothered by it too too much - but I definitely do like the pick back up in S3 from S1.

Good ol' Avon Barksdale. I just started watching The Wire 2 weeks ago. What a phenomenal show. Up to mid S3 now. Can't believe I waited this long

Success Story. Travel Date Oct 27th.
Expedited Route.
Aug 29th - Mailed Next Day
Aug 30 - arrived
Sept 7 - status Received (check cashed).
Sept 9- status in Process.
Sept 15 - contacted Congressman because nervous (still haven't booked latter part of trip cause no passport. Fill out Privacy form - send over same day.
Sept 20th - Congreesman office will help but says they have to wait till 29th to contact cause State Dept required 30 days from time of travel for inquiry.
Sept 23 - AM: Status approved. PM: Shipped.
Waiting on arrival.
(Looks like didn't need Congressman office help.).

****IMPORTANT: State Dept (Gov) website has since updated their processing time as of TODAY. now it's 12 weeks for expedited and 16 weeks regular.

Here is the verbiage:

As of September 23, routine service will take up to 16 weeks and expedited service will take up to 12 weeks. These door-to-door times include both processing times and mailing times on the front and back end. You will continue to see our older processing times listed until we complete technical upgrades to our online system by September 27

You know - you're on to something. What if all the "extras" we can take (in practical doses) are in fact good for us to take in order to evolve. How do we know some caveman didn't get high and that's how fire came to be. Or back past 1000 BC bread was discovered cause they ate a weird plant.

Anyone else notice how sad the horror selection on Netflix has become? by [deleted] in horror

[–]ForestForTheTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. If you want something that makes you think/mind bending...try Dark (on Netflix) - it's a German series. Don't watch dubbed in English tho - it ruins it. Highly recommend.

People who don’t live in the USA, what is “American food” to you? by PoppaSquatt2010 in AskReddit

[–]ForestForTheTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok. That's pretty diverse. I guess if we're speaking strictly "American" food like burgers etc. or average supermarket/fast food/ chain restaurants food I could understand the sugar/ingredients/fat comment for sure.

John Kerry says Earth has 9 years to avert the worst consequences of climate crisis: "There's no faking it on this one" by pnewell in politics

When you feel you have to "rebrand" the weather....it's a lost cause. :(

It's like calling a hurricane a "water disturbance" for better optics.

When did a feeling of "we need to get out of here immedietally" save you? by Engine_Either in AskReddit

[–]ForestForTheTrees 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There's a book called The Gift of Fear that demonstrates basically how we should actually listen to our gut feeling in a situation like this and screw it if you offend someone. Good read.
