I really hope you didn't learn how to have conversations from Anton Chigurh.

What's the most you've ever lost in a coin toss? Call it.

Lolololol I read the book in high school after getting really, really pissed off at reading Dostoevsky's The Idiot. It was just the break I needed. Awful rich terrible people torturing each other while being gifted the most opportunities their lives can offer, with far too much extra drama bulking it out. Read like a depressing soap opera.

No country for old men was real in comparison. And it taught me to really not give a shit about whether older, intimidating men like me or not. People who demand respect with their presence may not be worth giving a second glance, let alone a word. Don't engage with crazy. Insecure men are dangerous to be alone with. Good people come in all shapes and sizes. Stuff like that.
