  • Taking chances is my guess. Each weapon is a “life experience”

    The basic pistol is your normal day to day. The shotgun is your night out.

    But that gauss cannon, or rocket launcher are those big risk moments like asking that person out, or going to that once in a lifetime concert.

    “I can’t go to that concert I have work tomorrow” “But it’s literally their retirement tour and you love them!” “I know but…I really need this job”

    Yeah it’s the responsible decision to go into work, but you’re going to regret missing a day of work way less compared to missing that once in a lifetime event.

    If you’re saving money it’s fiscally responsible not to spend it, but your peak years of health are going to be wasted “saving for your future” when you’re 60 and your body isn’t as capable as it used to be. So you’re ruining the overall “game”(life) by trying to conserve and inducing more struggle onto yourself just to save an extra buck here and there.

    Worse? I don’t get why everyone says it’s getting worse. It only seems worse because your curtain of innocence is torn away as you grow older. We as humans latch onto negative memories, they exist in our mind longer than positive memories because it’s easier to remember the bad. That is why everything seems worse.

    Mix that with the Internet, news, and so-on and all of a sudden it’s doomsday every day.

    It has always been shitty, but each decade is getting better and better on average. Outside of risks like Nuclear War, and Global Warming, there really isn’t anything else that will “end the world” as we know it.

    If you brought someone from ancient Mesopotamia and showed them this current world, they would not recognize it as their own. Nothing would seem familiar and their world as they know it has ended.

    I don’t understand why so many people fall victim to this negative pessimistic thought process of “humans suck it’s all going to end for us” instead of just focusing on the positive and improving the lives of those around them. If rude, mean, evil people try to fuck that over, trample them and continue being happy. If you can’t trample them, adapt and work around it. Freedom can be taken but your mind cannot be bound.

    I’m not a huge reader, ADHD ensures that. Also the now “traditional”(?) Anime/Manga art style leaves little to be desired for me. (It feels like the Times New Roman for cartoons) so I generally avoid most mangas. But I’ve enjoyed the fuck out of Junji Ito’s stories despite the disturbing imagery. But Tomi’s recurring character is great.

    With how common the isekai the seems to go I feel like it’s become the “rouge-like” of literature though. It cropped up out of nowhere and now I’ve got middle aged men at my job referencing the word. Wild stuff



  • I listen to a lot of music. And I hear musicians that are objectively more talented than her, both instrumentally, and vocally. Not just writing, but producing and performing their own music, yet they do not make millions upon millions of dollars because they didn’t have a rich daddy.

    She cornered a demographic, with technically simple and catchy music, then with the help of her rich parents utilized her nepotism to get her career going.

    She’s the fast food of pop music. I’m sure as an individual she’s okay. But she is NOT where she is today because of her talent alone.




  • I honestly hated Aliens. I watched Alien and loved it to death, the sound, environment, tension were all really cool. Crew Members felt like people, Ripley felt real, and I liked how it didn’t focus on Ripley from the beginning and just let the story build itself.

    Aliens was just a bunch of headstrong generic idiots along with other stupid action tropes. There was nothing about it I found redeeming beyond the antiquity of practical effects. But that seems to be a minority opinion because people really love Aliens and Alien 3 etc. I just felt annoyed and dissatisfied with the 2nd movie.
