Answers to questions:

1. I don’t correct the mistakes of others anymore, as I’ve come to realize it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. The non-word ‘irregardless’ used to make me foam at the mouth, as did the phrase ‘The bottom line is’… and then the person continues to speak for another 15 minutes.

I’m still bothered by people who are quick to toss out the word ‘oppressed’ over the dumbest shit, like someone getting their drive-through order wrong — or being called a dick, when they’re actually being a dick.

I find I listen to people a lot more, and am more empathetic than I used to be. I try to be more interested in the lives of those I meet, and actually find myself becoming genuinely interested the more I learn about them. I am, however, deaf to whiny self-proclaimed marginalized groups.

2. Most overrated things and the greatest: ‘Most overrated’ would steer me directly into politics and religion so I’ll stop there. Greatest? That plasticky nacho cheese dip. It’s probably radioactive, but I love it, especially with those new lime flavoured taco chips. The guy that thought those up should get the Nobel Prize, rather than the guys who merely found the Higgs Boson particle… unless those particles are what give the cheese dip its flavour and texture. Same goes for curry! It lights me up something fierce but I can’t get enough.

3. Best cartoon shows? I’ve gotta go with @robert on that one: Bugs Bunny, Sylvester. I was never fond of the Road Runner though. In fact, I wish Wile E. had caught that annoying f*cking bird. Why couldn’t he just hide at the side of the road and hose it down with an AR-15?
