It’s 2019, and I am officially done with stodgy anti-phone thinkpieces.

From now on, the only criticisms of smart phones that I accept will be:

1) Manufacture that is incredibly taxing on the environment and relies on exploited labor

2) Planned obsolescence

3) Super creepy apps and functions that invade a person’s privacy without their consent

4) Smartphones being used to enable employers, family, and friends to demand a person’s engagement and availability at every hour of the day or night

Like, I know he is only eight.

But the movie makes a big deal of saying he an incredibly smart eight year old. MENSA- levels of IQ.  Some of those traps were ingenious. 

One 911 phone call saying ‘Help me.’ All it would have taken for this whole mess to get sorted. 

The police come in, take good care of Kevin till the family arrives.  Arrest Harry and Marv.  

But, no. Kevin chose the dark path of cruel sadism. 

Kevin was a Sith

How can anyone both see the Home Alone series, and think gun control will reduce violence?

GIVE👏MINORS👏ACCESS👏TO👏GUNS👏

Let me just come back in defense of Kevin. If Kevin was so smart, he must have known that calling the police would cause his family to get in trouble for leaving him alone at the house. Given Kevin’s other actions in the movie, such as pretending that he was shopping for his mom who was in the car, it seems pretty evident that he took pains to keep adults, even responsible ones, from knowing that he was alone in the house. This shows a distrust of the establishment, and it’s possible that Kevin was even aware (as I was at the age of 8) of the general concept of a CPS investigation. By refusing to call the police, Kevin was acting selflessly to keep his family from being split further. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

A couple of bandits come to rob some poor eight-year-old’s home and you call him a sadist for taking direct action. If some mofos came and invaded the safety of MY domicile you bet your sweet ass I’d concoct the most brutal means of retaliation imaginable to ensure those bastards never set foot in another home ever again.

Broke: Kevin was a sadist

Woke: Kevin didn’t trust the establishment and didn’t want CPS to investigate his parents

Bespoke: Kevin had a God given right to defend his property

Here for all Kevin McAllister theories

idk why Sandra Oh’s comedy chops surprised people like I know she’s been a drama actor for years but never forget her roots and the pinnacle of comedy for her role as Vice Principal Gupta in The Princess Diaries (2001)

plain-flavoured-english:

Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.

If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.

If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.

Be the subject, not the object. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you.

Thank you this is the first post about self love that hasn’t made me want to throw things
