Actually Bulk Stress was moved to chapter 12 for no other reason than to make students buy a new edition.
126I read some of Henry Rollins's writing recently, and this passage made me ache.
64This was beautiful, thank you for sharing it. I did not have "Feeling less alone because an internet stranger shared a Henry Rollins quote on Lemmy" on my agenda this evening, but here we are.
27That's something that helped me cope with a lot of things: realising I am not alone. I've also made it a point of trying to share that same comfort with others. If you struggle to get up, not because you're tired but because your brain refuses to comply, because Why bother? What even is the point of getting up?, know that someone somewhere is fighting that same struggle right now.
Someone else just won it (for today, at least), and picked themselves up, because doing something at all is better than letting defeatism and apathy paralyse you. You can do the same. You can muster the strength, and by that strength, may set an example for someone else. They don't need to know you, just the thought that you exist, that you share their struggle, that you overcame it and they can too.Take hold of my hand

Surprisingly wholesome 🥰
31That may have been the author's intent but that's not really how I see it.
There are people in this comment thread talking about being required to buy this book in order to get access to required online assignments, which is a near universal scam the degree industry likes to pull.
Sahaj there is likely using flippant humor to express serious grievances with their education. Or their education scented debt accruing experience, as so many of them are. Rebekah apparently finds the tome most useful as a weight, so she was probably required to purchase the thing but it was of no use to her in her life.
I think these students should be issued a baseball bat and 30 seconds of "whatever happens, happens" with Mr. Freedman.
0It's unlikely that Mr Freedman and not some LinkedIn MBA in one of the publishing houses is the true cause of this dystopian racket.

The last movie that made me cry was The Lego Movie. I think there's something wrong with me.
16That movie slaps you in the face at the end in a pretty universally relatable way. No shame in that one.
15Nothing wrong with crying in a movie. Moves are meant to make you feel things. If you cry, that's one way to know it connected with you and made you feel.
5Last one that made me cry was The Whale. I lost my father when I was a teenager and was taken by surprise by the profound effect that it had on me, two decades later.
Nothing wrong with you, based on your statement. As someone else said, at is (often) meant to provoke emotion. Emotion is a part of who we are and catching feels from unexpected things is a beautiful part of being human.

OK, but really - what was the last book that made you cry?
