Don't forget the Red Scare and Joseph McCarthy's crusades against communism and homosexuality. It's also worth noting that McCarthy's chief counsel was Roy Cohn, who later represented and was a close mentor to Donald Trump from 1973-1985. A common tactic of Cohn's was to never admit fault or wrongdoing.

Loneliness**

For some context: I was adopted from South Korea at 8 months, and I apparently had lived with my birth mother until I was 6 months old. I have two white parents who have been amazingly supportive and unconditionally loving my whole life, as well as two other younger siblings also adopted from Korea (but not blood related).

-I don't have much desire to meet my birth parents, but I do feel very alone sometimes. I have never met someone with the same genetics as me, never seen someone who looks like me. I love my family, but sometimes I feel alone in the life I live.

-I am very social and can form healthy relationships with other people, but I am aware of an underlying fear of being abandoned. I am afraid to upset people because I'm afraid they'll leave me, so I have a habit of forming connections and then shutting people out before they have the chance to hurt me. In the end I still feel guilty and hurt.

-I am so thankful for my family and for being adopted, but I think it has affected me psychologically in ways I don't even know or understand.

Can anyone relate and/or share their personal experience?

When someone you don't know plays a song you thought no one else knew, there's an instant friendship.

Make sure they are always surrounded only by uglier people.

Ideally you should learn how to fold them into a fist that's also flipping the bird.

Or even better, make a bird that you can tap and it does a flip. Like those origami frogs that can "jump."

Oh yeah, I've known people who call them snaps too. Whatever they're called, we can all agree they fuck you up for a moment afterwards (in a good way) and are dangerously addictive. Took me a long time to get away from them, and it's hard to stay away.

He was known as the superhero Black Goliath in the comics.

Watch Tony find a reason to clone Thor and have him fire a lightning bolt through Fishburne's chest anyways.

Edit: This is not an Infinity War spoiler. It has nothing to do with Infinity War.

If you just spoiled infinity war I'm going to kill you.

Edit: I really have to /s?

I'd kill myself and let my body sink to the deepest part of the ocean. And I'd leave a will allocating all of my money to my direct family.

Do you remember the 90's? You know people were talking about getting piercings and getting tribal tattoos, and people were singing about saving the planet and forming bands. When having a smartphone meant carrying a brick, pager, and walkman all in your pocket just so you could show them to other people?

There's a place where that idea still exists as a reality, and I've been there.

It's Portland.
