  • I definitely agree with you there. But my parents are also in their seventies and are set in their ways. My little sister came out as trans and I can obviously tell my dad hates it. My mom doesn’t understand it at all so she just avoids the conversation, but she is supportive.

    But I also 100% believe that the majority of people voting for Trump don’t understand the threat of fascism. The thing about fascism and being in a cult like MAGA is that you don’t realize anything is wrong with what you’re doing from the inside. They think what they are doing is the right thing to do. Just look up anyone that has escaped from a cult and they will say the same thing. People don’t want what they believe to be put into question and will fight tooth and nail to protect it. It’s how propaganda works. Like, if someone they trust tells them that Latinos are coming into this country and doing awful things they’d be more inclined to believe them over the stranger they’ve never met telling them they’re stupid for what they believe in.

    Five Finger Death Punch is as close as you can possibly get to pop music without leaving the genre of metal completely. I don’t judge people if it’s their jam, I just think they are extremely mediocre at best. It’s no coincidence that the majority of their most popular songs are covers.

    But hey, people like what they like.







  • I cannot tell you how much better my mental health has been since I stopped playing Apex Legends, Overwatch, and Rocket League. I never had anything against the gameplay of these games but the microtransactions and battle passes were just straight up toxic. After a couple weeks you simply don’t give a shit anymore and it’s amazing. I see my roommate playing these games until 3 AM every day because he has to do his daily challenges for 4 different games. He’ll be so pissed off that he can barely speak as he powers through game after game to get them done so he can go to bed. And in hindsight, that’s probably what I used to look like back when I played those games.
