This is how to deal with psychopaths and toxic people
I know what some people are thinking: I’m never going to deal with psychopaths. This is just more sensational clickbait junk. Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more! Wrong. The experts are betting you probably encounter a psychopath every day. In fact, a lot of what you think you know about psychopaths is very wrong. Yes, psychopaths are more likely to be in jail than most people — but the majority of them aren’t. There’s a whole class of people who don’t have a conscience or feel empathy, and in all likelihood you deal with at least one all the time. And they probably make your…

Big Little Lies’: How Meryl Streep redeems a mediocre season – News – seacoastonline.com
Mary Louise Wright wasnt meant to be a superhero. The mousy grandmother, played by a transformed Meryl Streep, looked so neutral when she arrived on Big Little Lies six episodes ago that she may as well have been a clump of seagrass. Beige was the color of her sweaters, skin and personality. Yet its this seemingly frail woman who has single-handedly saved Season 2 of HBOs drama from slipping off the picturesque cliffs of Monterey and washing away to parts unknown. The series, about five women in an affluent community struggling to keep up appearances and to cover up a murder has struggled to reignite the spark…

Single mom should find friends kindergarten-style
Columnist Amy Dickinson (Bill Hogan/Chicago Tribune) DEAR AMY: I’m divorcing my narcissistic husband. He’s medically retired and stays at home all day while I work. I pay all of the household bills. He’s now stating I have two decisions. 1: Buy him out of the house, which he paid nothing toward. 2: Put it up for sale and split the proceeds. I want to keep the house to get it ready to sell next year. I’m barely making ends meet, as I had to take a lower-paying job when I was laid off of my previous job. He’s never offered to pick up anything financially, except to pay for food…

Ask Amy: Deadbeat husband hasn’t put a dime into mortgage, but demands house in divorce

The Nihilistic Superhero Show We Deserve – /Film
The Boys, Amazon’s new anti-superhero series, is so nihilistic and cruel that it’s either unbearable, or the perfect show for the current era we’re in. There’s a longstanding argument about whether or not entertainment loaded with unlikable characters can be enjoyed. It can – as long as the characters are well drawn, and there’s at least some specter of empathy lurking beneath it all. The Boys is not a show like that. It is void of hope, and void of heart. But that’s also the point. In the end, it’s a conflicting show – I’m horrified by what it’s selling, but I’m supposed to be. I walked away feeling utterly miserable. So…mission accomplished, I…

Ask Amy: Single mom should consider a canine pal
Dear Amy: My husband left me five years ago. I am now a divorced single mom with two beautiful children, ages 10 and 8. I am also an only child and am fairly introverted, which makes it difficult for me to make new friends. I find it so hard when I see other happy families together, I want nothing more than to have someone (the right someone) to share my life with. I envision myself growing old with no one but a dog around for company. I am a fun person! But I am not a social butterfly … and I am certainly not into the whole dating online thing.…
