Light rant/minor pet peeve

It’s super annoying to get a “best of” CD and find out that all the tracks are re-recorded, especially when they’re not as good as the original recordings.

I know that pain

Doesn’t discrimination against the neurodivergent fall under ableism?

It does but it also is a community

Read Hook Line and Sinker, now reading It Happened One Summer

Today I had to report and leave a DC Facebook group because they allowed racist and neruodivergentphobic comments.

Maybe add dark circles to his eyes to signify his inability to sleep

Have the Benny Hill theme inserted into every duel

glad you see it too JackNapier , it is in nearly every thread . Some seriously bold asshats all over indeed ! Been getting out of control lately .

I’m not sure what’s worse: the fact that they mention death cults, or that they also are offering WhatsApp numbers?

Sometimes the days get better, and then there’s days like this where I feel sad for what happened in the past and what I see in my future.

There is spam all over the place

MCU really stands for Milked Cow Udder.

Bruh. That’s cursed

The film Elvis is a gut wrenching tale of a boy who wanted love that was taken advantage of by a cruel system.

In the TLJ, when Kylo turns around shirtless during his force meeting with Rey, add an Obi-Wan “hello there”.

And a wolf whistle

Right now I’m stuck between feeling numb, feeling down and seeing hope out of my funk just out of reach. In other words, it’s akin to Darth Vader staring at Padme’s grave and remembering a time when things felt less bleak.

The film Thor Love and Thunder is a fantastic story with the message that revenge only brings more revenge; that pain only brings more pain.

The film Sea Beast is a fantastic story that describes how you must reject the lies you are told in order to find true peace and equality.

Star Wars Imperial Commandos 501st by Karen Travis

The film Jurassic World Dominon is an excellent story about how one must respect nature or it won’t respect you.

I’ve long suspected that the capitalist vs socialist framing of countries is largely a distraction which confuses more than illuminates. I find that a simplifying factor for determining the virtue of a country is its level of democracy as opposed to autocracy. America has never been a true democracy but is quickly barreling towards oligarchy or even full autocracy and the enshrinement of minority rule.

Your experience in Venezuela sounds terrible, but comports with what I’ve read, which is that the country has been quite autocratic throughout the 21st century. It’s difficult for any country reliant on mineral or oil wealth to escape the pull of autocracy, as Russia aptly demonstrates.

The question every country must ask is whether it values people over power and profit, and if it is the latter, dictatorship inevitably follows.

Way too true

America is an authoritarian, imperialist, settler colonial shithole and has been so since Day 1. Just as evil as the British Empire that sired it.

Completely agree

I’m so ashamed to be an American and I hate what this country is becoming

Currently reading Hook Line and Sinker

My mood for the past few days is Batman mourning his parents in an alleyway while sad music plays and the camera spirals around him.

I’ve been feeling the same way this past weekend, especially since the overturning of Roe might affect my life due to the start of my transgender journey early this year. Even now, I’m not sure what I’m going to do if my own rights get overturned.

However, what I do know is that despair and hopelessness are not solutions. At some point, you have to let go of bitterness, and get up. I know how hard that is, but you don’t get anywhere by worrying and being miserable all day. You get somewhere by, to paraphrase the late Hunter S. Thompson, buying the ticket and taking the ride.

Too true, and you have my support in your journey

We’re all in the same boat.

Yeah. Sadly where many go wrong is that instead of loving themselves and being respectful to others, they become bitter and mean, and eventually entitled, and before you know it, you have an incel.

I agree. It’s always necessary to keep hope
