If you realize “friendzoning” is just a modern name for unrequited love, it seems a lot less ignoble and more understandable.
You can’t be mad at someone for friendzoning you, that’s dumb and self-centered, but you can easily be mad at the situation of being friendzoned and that’s not at all unreasonable like some people make it out to be.

American Psycho
This is kind of a response to this post from a question I sent Lazysmirk
I haven’t finished the book, I’m somewhere in the 200s on the closer side to 300 pages. The detail is interesting but it does feel like it’s bogging me down. It has been interesting reading the book in public because so many people know the movie but have never read the book when I tell them it’s more...

His latest interview with The New York Times is fantastic. An excerpt:
Interviewer: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?

Interviewer: I thought you might explain...

Me: Do you need it for a screening tonight or something?

Issac Asimov cracks me up
Sloan’s Teddy
As is well known, in this thirtieth century of ours, space travel is fearfully dull and time-consuming. In search of diversion, many crew members defy the quarantine restrictions and pick up pets from the various habitable worlds they explore.
Jim Sloane had a rockette, which he called Teddy. It just sat there, looking like a rock, but sometimes it lifted a lower edge and ...
