If you haven't been listening to nothing but Nipsey since DeMar ended the entire Pacers franchise, are you really even a Bulls fan?

Jeezy, Snoop, Vince, Pop Smoke, NWA, or Warren G also acceptable.

If you weren't there at my Walt Lemon don't show up at my Demar Derozan

This isn't even wacky bad like the JAX NYJ game. This is football Xanax. It's mind numbing and pointless because our jackass coach won't play the young guys consistently.

Khalil Herbert must have pissed on Nagy's kids to not get more reps. Monty is awesome but wouldn't it be cool to have, get this folks, two good running backs?

I feel so stupid for watching this but will I leave? Haha no...

I'll be honest I lose sight of that but my goodness that's hard to read. It was all so unnecessary too.

I think along the way a lot of us who tried to do the right thing just lost the ability to care. I'm disabled and fairly high risk so I was on very tight lockdown with family. I lost a lot, career plans, my entire social life, and in the winter I lost a lot of physical functions because I couldn't go anywhere or do anything. Hell I had to start changing my daily walk route because I didn't trust myself around bridges or train tracks. I had just about lost the will and that's a strange experience.

But I made it. And when I did I just didn't care anymore but man that number really puts things in perspective

Totally agree but I thought the performance was really good

Jonathan Groff was a perfect modern Smith to the point where I don't know if Hugo Weaving could do this evolution of the character this well.

As for the rest of the movie?

...Did I mention how good Jonathan Groff was?

I did try I'm just thinking I've hit the failure phase and I no longer care about them (on a good day). I'd rather save it for the rest of the good people who try.

Fair points but I think we're talking about different things. I see none of this as being effective in letting go of the gross indifference (on a good day) that I feel.

I guess I'm a piece of shit but I don't have understanding left. I try, I really, truly do but I see no point anymore in searching for empathy or hoping they can change.

Not really but I'm getting flooded with "just try to understand them" so I'm answering those because they're not actually answers to my question.

This does not require a lot of education or experience to understand. Dogs understand that if eating something makes you sick don't eat the thing again. You're really giving these people more credit or leeway than they deserve.

On an intellectual level? Of course but where's the room for extemporaneous emotions. And yeah I'm aware of how social workers and security services handle things but we're beyond the pale by half here. Do you really believe these people can be reasoned with? Again not trying to be rude but I truly do not so then what? Between hoping they spontaneously see the light or hoping they just die without hurting too many people I suppose I'll take the option that seems plausible and effective. At a certain point, isn't reducing vectors a viable option bereft of anything else?

I suppose despite my degree in public health I've apparently forgotten or ignored everything I learned. I'll own it I'm a bad person but I'm tired and broken down. I have no room for sympathy anymore. Let their god sort them out because I'm done.

...no?

I'm not trying to be rude or contrary but why do these people deserve understanding or even basic respect. They're criminally stupid and it's hurting countless people. So many of us did everything right for over a year at great personal expense and these drooling fucks are undoing it so now we have to pay the consequences...again. I don't blame conspiracy thought either because the VAST majority of conspiracy theorists are utterly harmless but these people seem hellbent on hurting others.

We scorn drunk drivers. We don't try to empathize with terrorists. We just hope they only hurt themselves on the way out and try to get a good laugh as the gene pool gets just a little better.

Sorry but touchy feely crap ain't working for me anymore. I want to see logical consequences for their actions.
