He reminds of that guy Tina dates on her debate team on Bob's Burgers. I think his name was Henry.

This talk reminds me of the everlasting song:

I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie (uh)
I've seen the good side of bad
And the downside of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
And smoked the finest green
I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start

Yeah the lady listening on her phone without headphones. Gets on plane and continues. FA asks her to turn off. She complied then bore testimony of conference. So cringe.

He's pointing out good things that really no one has ever bothered to point out before. Discussions about privilege are desperately needed in the church.

I wonder if I knew this guy in the MTC. I don't know what his exact role was, but someone we called "Giuffra" served as a sort of RA in the dormitory. He was a good guy when I was going through the most miserable experience of my life, but he was also a hard ass about getting in bed on time.
