  • Smart-anything is just a dumb novelty design because rich techie users are about as wowed as dangling plastic toy keys infront of an infant. Nearly nothing is anymore useful when it becomes ‘smart’ and largely gets that title because of it’s capability to connect to the internet and just become another app for data-farming services to nag you over.

    These things are just also another way to rob people more money because they’re going to have more models, the company is going to talk down to you for being filthy and not upgrading. You’re going to spend a lot of time dealing with a lot of variables that people already have presented for having a smart device and this is where the argument of “old is always better” comes into play.


  • I’ve had to drop Monster Hunter World, it’s a game that I was so enamored by to play, had it on my wishlist for months and months. Seen many of my friends play it. I really dig what’s there. I finally had it gifted to me by a friend and I gave it an honest try.

    Who at Capcom, decided it was the best idea to not give that game a way to pause the game or skip the cut scenes? Like, I hope that person is fired because that is how you just brush away all of the patience one has for waiting for things to finally give you back control.

    And it’s because of that, I now have to leave it collecting digital dust.

    There were also many popular games that people have recommended so highly to me before that I just got and tried playing and ended up not liking. I ended up finding myself revisiting free games, older games and vice versa than playing what people recommended me. I’m sorry but a lot of AAA games are just boring experiences that have drained all of the good ideas that could’ve been much more.



  • In terms of seeing more credible people take office that has an honest mind in what’s best for the country and not for themselves or their party. I say we certainly are likely past the point of no return. That wall was cracked when Reagan took presidency and then the wall was just demolished just by one Trump term.

    So now we’re going to be expected to see all sorts of crazy people, just jumping at the bit, for their shot to take some sort of office, despite having had no credibly solid background of politics or understanding in managing the big office. Arnold Schwarzenegger became governor of California, Kane (wrestler) became mayor of a county, Dr.Oz is now in a political position after scarily coming close to a senate position. It’s just maddening all around.

    We’ve been experiencing numerous government shutdowns or coming close to another government shutdown because all politicians collectively could not get their shit together. If we’re past the point of no return, about whether America has any credible influence and sincere posture on the rest of the world. Yes, it is the point of no return and it’ll take many generations to fix. It won’t be this one though.




  • Because Facebook isn’t treated seriously like a news format, a lot of my friends don’t go on Facebook to read the news, and neither do I. Most of the time, articles are only posted to drive a certain narrative, that’s how Facebook works.

    And yes a lot of the time I don’t read a news article past the headline. Mostly is because I’m bombarded with “PLZ ACCEPT COOKIES AND WE GIV U NO CHOICE TO DISAGREE” some of the time. The screen grays out. Some news outlets blur some of the article. I’m nagged to subscribe and shit.

    Why the fuck would I then want to read it? I’ll only read what I’m interested in, I don’t want to read an entire article of “oops, the world sucks today” or “Trump is fucking things up again” or “uh you’re going to hell” and whatever. Why would I want to read that in-depth?




  • I told my mom the other day that she clearly doesn’t love or care about me because of the way she voted. I don’t believe she can both love her trans daughter while simultaneously willingly inflicting as much suffering as possible.

    I have been in this exact situation and I advise - ditch her. She voted or rather, sentenced you and I to 4 years of a shitshow that’s going to affect millions because of one simple and careless choice. And I agree, you cannot say “I love you” to someone who’s trans and then go out to vote for a guy and a party that is going to outright wage a war against the community of which they’re representatives of.

    The aunt, she can go too.

    Listen, you are in a position of your life right now to be calling the shots for your own well-being. You should not chain yourself to people, at the expense of your well-being mentally or physically, that do not 100% respect you. They want it one way and it’s their way. That’s not how it’s going to work. They’ve placed you in a position now where you may have to cut them out anyways.

    You need to respect yourself and find people that respect and love you for you without the two-face standard.







  • Democrats need to stop wasting time by challenging the results of this election in any way. We’re going to be under the control of a party that waives facts and truths so it doesn’t matter.

    The Democrats need to be re-worked entirely. The reason why they failed this year is like how they failed in 2016. They focused on the whole “TRUMP BAD!” wagon and expected that to carry them. That’s great…as a platform. But it was all that they mostly had. Platforms aren’t any good if you can’t build off from them and that’s what the Dems didn’t do.

    I know and understand that if Harris had a full year of campaigning instead of a handful of months, maybe she could’ve had a better shot and a better understanding of how she’d turn this country around. But, she fell into the same trap as Clinton did and that’s why she lost. She wasn’t the entire reason, the Dems had a part in that too collectively, but a part of the reason.

    You cannot just scream “THAT MAN BAD” without backing it up and without promise of how you’ll do things right - for everyone. Emphasis on ‘everyone’ because there apparently are some groups that Harris and the Dems failed on and lost their votes. That’s important.

    Right now, Democrats need to seriously reconstructure.

    And I hope that within the first year of this fascist’s term of how much shit they’d have to sit, watch and fight over on. That by the 2026 mid-terms, that they get their heads out of their fucking asses.
