If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place
Time

Here I am. Ungodly late at night, typing this out, when I should have been long asleep.

The amount that people get addicted to computers and the internet rather than using them for productive and meaningful work (made worse for people with ADHD disorders) is tragic.

The internet was peddled as a meaningful and revolutionary tool, but humans being humans, it is now corrupted by filth, lies, and addiction.

I hope that 2023 will be the best year I’ll have in a long time and I’ll be able to break free from the shackles of this disease.

Spuffure I’m sorry if this comes off as confrontational, but if going on the internet causes you so much pain that you wish you were forced not to use the internet, why don’t you just choose to stop using the internet?

I’m sorry to say it’s not as simple as that. Not only can there be actually useful and important stuff on the internet (which I failed to mention in this last post), my ADHD and OCD often make me “relapse” and compulsively go down a downward spiral.

I remember Duracell once said something along the lines of him wishing I lived in an era where the internet doesn’t exist.

I wish it was too.

I’ve seen horrible things on this place I wish I could unsee, it’s partly ruined my life and derailed countless days. I’ve tried to get away but keep crawling back, thanks to the mental baggage I have to hold from my genetic heritage.

And I write this VERY late at night when I should be asleep.

It’s a shame. It’s a shame…

Last movie seen

Highlander. I’m sorry, but I hated it. Yes. Hated it. Quite possibly my most unpopular opinion yet. In the dictionary definition for “cheesy/campy”, there should be a still of this movie. The best part of the movie was the 18th century duel scene which was pretty funny and a brief breath from the dullness of the rest of the film. The fact they didn’t even bother to hire an actual Scottish actor for MacLeod’s part showcases the sheer incompetence here.

However, there were lots of unintentionally funny moments throughout the film. Particularly the first time you see Heather as an old woman. I burst out laughing because of how shitty the makeup job was. She looked more like she had a fucking skin condition more than anything else.

Queen’s music was great, though. But not even that, nor could Sean Connery’s wit and charm, save the film. And I’m certainly not going to watch the universally panned sequel.

Proof that '80s pop culture gets too much praise.

HOWEVER…if this film isn’t MEANT to be taken seriously, then I take back most of what I said.

P.S., If you liked this movie, that’s fine. But don’t you dare do the whole “YoU jUsT dIdN’T gEt iT” rhetoric.

In my opinion slapstick works best when it’s something unrealistic happening in a realistic setting.

Cartoon slapstick doesn’t really work because the situation is already unrealistic, so stuff like that would be expected and blend in too much with the cartoon setting.

Live action slapstick on the other hand, can be knee-slap worthy because of something unrealistic happening in a realistic setting.

(I remember a year ago I said slapstick wasn’t funny at all. Well my opinion has certainly changed.)

Speaking of overrated shows, I just started watching the first episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Most of the jokes are silly rather than funny. I just don’t get surreal humour. To me it feels like it goes into r/iamveryrandom territory. I much prefer Fawlty Towers as its humour is more “structured” if you catch my drift.

Cults hurt badly. Some wounds take years to heal.

I wish every cult was exposed, shut down, and the leaders punished severely.

Cults are a plague and are a mental pandemic that sucks out the humility and bloats up the ego of anyone unlucky enough to get slimed by their tentacles.

Death to all cults. Cults are horrific. ESPECIALLY those new religious groups that think that they are special. Fucking devils. You don’t even have to be truly part of it to get “wounded”. You can be influenced by a family member.

I once created an account on some site and spilled my cult-influenced bile there. Antisexual. Arrogant. Declinist. Authoritarian. Totalitarian. It didn’t help that my mental illnesses inflated it. And yes, the cult I was influenced by which I decline to name does have a rightfully shitty reputation as the leaders are corrupt and many agree.

Once again…

Cults Hurt. Badly.
