A nervous, shaking Spider-Man sits on a psychiatrist's couch. The psychiatrist (Stan Lee) leans foward in his chair frantically taking notes in this "Not Brand Eech!" panel. To the right is a limerick: 
"Spider-Man was a hit that was bang-up;
Each issue, cash registers rang up.
Said Smilin' Stan Lee,
'The secret's that he
In each issue acquires a new hang up!'"

Fully expecting this to be based on a tiny self-selected sample predisposed to aggression, with participants coached on how to act, exaggerated performances for observers, all run by a host with a flair for showmanship but questionable ethical instincts. You know, a direct replication

Website with an interactive feature: Enter big 5 personality traits and it would suggest specific movie titles. You could also search movie titles and see personality traits of people who picked that one as a favorite. Maybe data was pulled from Yang (2023) Can't find it now! Anybody have a hint?

Seen head to toe, the mullet-haired Invisible Girl of the Fantastic Four stands taller than the red rectangle behind her and stands within a solid orange-ish background behind that. 
She says, "The Psycho-Man did more than twist my emotions. He forced me to look into the deepest corners of my SOUL, forced me to confront who I am, what I have become. When we rocketed into the cosmic ray belt, when we gained our super-powers, we LOST something. An innocence. A child-like naivety. For a long time I've tried to go on as if we're still the same people we used to be. As if I was still the same. But I'm not. Not after all that's happened to us. Not after what the Psycho-Man did to me. There is no INVISIBLE GIRL anymore, Reed. She DIED when the Psycho-Man twisted her soul. From now on, I am the INVISIBLE WOMAN!"

I think it’s a holdover from living in Chicago culture’s gravitational pull for years, where I learned about Chicago dogs. On a hotdog, it’s too sweet and needy. It doesn’t play well with others. Fries, yes, nobody has beaten ketchup yet.

If you have access to any the following stats software, would you be willing to run some chi squared tests on a handful of simulated datasets and send me results? I need to verify that that my R implementation of what other software does is correct. - Stata - SAS - StatXact - SPSS DM me :)

Unlike cynicism, hopefulness is hard-earned, makes demands upon us, and can often feel like the most indefensible and lonely place on Earth. Hopefulness is not a neutral position either. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like, Valerio, such as reading to your little boy, or showing him a thing you love, or singing him a song, or putting on his shoes, keeps the devil down in the hole. It says the world and its inhabitants have value and are worth defending. It says the world is worth believing in. In time, we come to find that it is so.

Love, Nick

I know this because much of my early life was spent holding the world and the people in it in contempt. It was a position both seductive and indulgent. The truth is, I was young and had no idea what was coming down the line. I lacked the knowledge, the foresight, the self-awareness. I just didn’t know. It took a devastation to teach me the preciousness of life and the essential goodness of people. It took a devastation to reveal the precariousness of the world, of its very soul, to understand that it was crying out for help. It took a devastation to understand the idea of mortal value, and it took a devastation to find hope.

Dear Valerio,

You are right to be worried about your growing feelings of cynicism and you need to take action to protect yourself and those around you, especially your child. Cynicism is not a neutral position — and although it asks almost nothing of us, it is highly infectious and unbelievably destructive. In my view, it is the most common and easy of evils.

 Following the last few years I’m feeling empty and more cynical than ever. I’m losing faith in other people, and I’m scared to pass these feelings to my little son. Do you still believe in Us (human beings)?

If it's unclear whether someone is speaking to you or another person, make a simple but direct inquiry into whether they are addressing you.
