As part of our currently nightly movie streak, we watched One Battle After Another. Dicaprio, Penn, Del Toro, etc. A (very long) dark comedy-thriller about far-left terrorists and white supremacists....

I thought the movie was incisive and hilarious. Ultimately I caught the sentiment of grief, and the human element of looking back and wishing for other things. The car chase scene I thought was amazing too. Phenomenal editing, plus the soundtrack.

It’s not an insult to reflect on family dynamics at all. I celebrate you doing this.

So true man. You have to just let it all go. It doesn’t fucking matter at all anyway. Sobriety definitely helps. I’m actually more confident and self assured when I’m sober. I started drinking when I was 15 and put it down only recently when I realized it wasn’t serving me anymore. I still d...
