Oh, I love that metaphor.
Only one punch? Letting them off easy, I see.
I tend to go with the “distract myself” method. Think about some song, movie, game, etc. Keeps the brain from ruminating on that shit. And usually can manage it long enough that the thought’s barely a vague memory afterwards.
Basically, the idea is: Don’t feed the demon.
He added, “A woman’s right to vote is not a ‘sensitive social issue’. It is established law and fact. A board game about historical events from over a century ago is unlikely to ‘impact the outcome of an election or pending legislation’.”
Hey, now and then, I hear the suggestion that women’s suffrage should be removed. Sometimes even from women that have totally bought into the patriarchy. Still, as far as I know, that opinion remains far from mainstream (thank goodness).
Honestly, there’s still a lot of leftover shit from the Civil War that’s still affecting politics. And that’s almost 70 years older than the 19th Amendment.
So while I agree that Women’s Suffrage is hardly sensitive, age seems to have little to do with it.
I managed to do that with Abbey Road of all things, though a Round Trip example. Started the album on my way out. Paused it while doing some errands. Went home, and it finished up just as I pulled in. Of course, I had to get lucky with traffic flow, so I don’t expect to be able to intentionally repeat it.
