People can get stuck. We’ve all seen it — the person who can’t stop talking about guns (for or against), or the person whose life is spent trolling whoever or whatever it is they have demonized, whether it’s women, muslims, Pit Bulls, vegetarians, hunters, or trans people.
What to do about it?
As a general rule, it’s easy enough to plant one foot, pivot in another direction, and just keep walking without ever looking back.
But obsessives are…. Obsessive.
And so sometimes they don’t take the hint.
What to do?
And my answer is the same as it was when there was dust on the needle and the record kept skipping. You blow it off, you wipe down the record, and see if that fixes it.
And if it doesn’t, you toss the record.
It’s a crazy person that keeps a skipping record on the turntable.
Life is too short for that.
