They were all pretty close to the books except that they cut out a lot of the pointless bickering that kept happening all the time, so I'd blame JK Rowling for those.
You just convinced me that I do NOT want to watch it. I can't handle that type of stuff, but I love sci-fi, so I was considering it. Thank you!!!
Oh. I should've checked. Thank you!!!
I DO have empathy. You ARE allowed to feel depressed and frustrated. Your comment at the end came out of nowhere. You went from talking about being miserable and how awful everything is, and I was nodding along as another depressed frustrated person, and then blame people calling out white privilege.
Most people who do that deny that it exists. If you're not one of those people, then I'm sorry I misunderstood what you were saying and will take it as a general nonsequitur.
But never mind, at least I can rely on people online to call me privileged because of my genitals and skin colour.
Woah there. No one said your life was going to be fantastic because you're a white male. But you most likely DO deal with less systemic injustices than women or people of color who are in the same situation as you. I recommend reading books or having conversions with real life people to gain perspective.
It's amazing how you turned frustration over your own life onto other people.
I understand feeling a little off, a little bit outside of everything and everyone. I feel like I've never been anyone's #1 choice to spend time with. Not my family, friends, husband, or kids. Never. It gets to me, even though I get it and don't want to spend time with myself either. It's tough. I hope you can find a good group of friends that you click with and can at least have fun experiences, even if you have periods of being alone in between.
Also, for the record, the weird dudes have no idea they're weird. If you're conscious about how you approach people, I'm already 100% sure you're not the problem. As we get older, everyone's lives are so busy and already entrenched in whatever they have going on that it's tougher to make deep friendships. Although I do see it happen again in the retired crowd. I like to go salsa dancing sometimes (well.. I did last year. I don't find joy in anything right now tbh), and most of the others that go are in their 50s+, with a lot in their 60s and 70s. So I guess life doesn't end at 40 after all?
Good luck, internet stranger.

Wow! Thanks for the explanation! That's a really great meme that went completely over my head.
