Deep-chested, full-volume, belt-it-out singing. Especially if it’s either super sad or very angry.

Being out in nature has repeatedly been shown to boost mental health.

Inviting a depressed friend to join you for even very short outdoor activities might really help, especially if done regularly.

I’m not sure I see how the two are comparable here.

Young kids, not all young people.

Now that you mention it, that is part of why I found Deadpool and Wolverine to be so enjoyable. I know that other MCU movies also license music for their bigger productions, but Deadpool and Wolverine was over-the-top about it.

I think there are many–possibly even most–“bad people” who have positive opinions of themselves. Dark triad and all that.

And then of course plenty of “good people” with self-esteem issues who will always have a bad opinion of themselves.

There should be at least a degree of objectivity when it comes to determining goodness. The bar might be low, but there is a difference between somebody who generally thinks of others (considerately) and who generally does not.

Fair.

But then there’s a record of you being a cannabis user, which could lead to your second amendment rights being curtailed.
