Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

It's a phrase to highlight someone missing the point, purposefully or otherwise. It doesn't matter how good the play was, Mary Todd Lincoln watching her husband and then President of the United States Abraham Lincoln get shot in the head right beside her overshadows everything. It could have been the best acting ever but that's not what she was focusing on or what she'll remember.
In reference to the Aurora shootings
Person 1: "Oh my God, that's awful! Was the movie any good, at least?"
Person 2: "Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

In reference to a controversial person
Person 1: "Yeah, Mike's an alcoholic, a tax cheat, beats his kids, and is a pathological liar – but other than that, he's pretty cool."
Person 2: "Besides that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

how are you

a phrase that a lot of people use to be kind. your response is supposed to be good, great, amazing and so on how about you, even if you don feel that way because the person that says this usually doesn't care about how you actually are.

How To Never Stop Being Sad

A song by Dandelion Hands. A step by step guide on how to achieve eternal sadness and selflessness.

-Try always putting yourself down by reminding yourself that it’s always your fault and that you’re the problem not them.
- Desolate yourself from others any time you have a chance to.
-Always remind yourself that you did this to yourself and not them.

-Lose interest in the things you love
-Drown yourself in rum. Steal it if you have to.
-Fantasize a love you’ll never have
-Think about the love that you lost because of the demon that you are.
“He gave us a step by step guide on how to never stop being sad.”
