They do become expunged. Or at least, it aids the process. I do believe the world is this bleak, yet I also believe there are niches where the misery has not yet arrived, or in some ways, said niches are resistant to it.
I presume you can't share what said case concerns.
Do you cook well?

It’s very easy to become depressed when I work on these things. I can’t share but I’m sure you can imagine the worst of humanity – and that’s what I see.
I am a decent cook but an even better eater. I keep a stash of chocolate in my drawer at work and when I get stressed out, I raid it. Two squares of chocolate = OK day. Four+ squares = the world is going to hell.

I enjoy cooking, a lot. I don't like chocolate.
My vices are old fashioned masculine vices, drinking, smoking, gambling. Though I believe if you smoke in the US nowadays, you're a social pariah?
Excuse the delay, a truck with a monkey on the side drove past again and I wanted to stop the man driving it and ask him what he was carrying.
He smokes, drinks , and gambles. And doesn't like chocolate. The Hemingway reference should have been a tipoff.

You don't like chocolate? Chocolate is my life. All communications between us must now cease. But not until you tell me what that monkey truck was carrying.

I'm afraid not, but I cook well with chocolate. You are a meat eater though, right? Otherwise we'll really have to terminate this relationship.
It was carrying Coca-Cola and coal. Ha, only on this island!

I'm sorry to inform you that I'm on a vegan, gluten-free, organic, and fair trade diet. And I had such high hopes for our friendship ...
Do you have any signature dishes?
A truck carrying Coca-Cola and coal at the same time. Strange. So you're on an island, living in an old mill house with an abundance of lemon trees outside. Not in a city then. I'm painting a charming picture right now - you must add more details.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not ... ?
I have several signature dishes. I think you would like my pasta e fagioli or my French onion soup.
I'm in Agrigento, Sicily.
He was also selling cigarettes, milk and salami. Fantastic.
What is your home like?

Did I scare you? That's too funny. I'm an omnivore, although I have cooked all-vegan, gluten-free meals before for friends/family who have such diets.
I don't think I've ever had pasta e fagiole but I love French onion soup in the winter.
My home - right now there are a riot of roses blooming in my patio. Sometimes I launch into a daydream while washing dishes and looking out my kitchen window. I love color so I have a wine-colored couch, yellow walls, and a bathroom in red and gold, which my brother says makes him feel like he's going to the theater whenever he pees. No, I don't have subtle taste.
Your turn. You can shame me by telling me about your tasteful, minimalist decor.
