  • You need to have a sit down with him. He’s 16 so he should be able to be take in whatever you’ll say. Don’t degrade him, don’t talk down to him or anything.

    But tell him that he has a future ahead of him, whatever it is but futures also have different pathways to choose from. The wrong futures are the kind of futures where no matter how much devotion, ambition and time spent it is to drive towards a particular future, it isn’t that path. And that’s okay because the world isn’t over for him yet. The only thing your son is going to regret the most, is not trying more things while he has the youth and the time to do so.

    That is key, is to try many things and see what really sticks.


  • There has been at least more than a dozen occasions where a civil war could’ve and should’ve broken out. But it hasn’t. Nobody right now feels like they can afford to even fight one. The modern day civil war, is just people bickering back and forth with eachother on social media. They’re too lazy to get off their phones and asses to even fight for what they believe in.


  • That’s because the American people themselves are too afraid to rock the boat themselves to where they only see two political parties. They’re scared about what Bernie promised and they made fun of it. Like I remember back in 2016, people were going around like “HE’S GONNA GIVE US FREE INTERNET, GUYS! FREE INTERNET!” when he had wanted us to have a free market so we wouldn’t be tied up with the ISP monopoly.

    Bernie knew very well that his only chance that he had was to run Democratic since, well, we hadn’t had an Independent candidate be president for over 170+ years in this country so you go figure. And the ironic thing is that Trump probably knew in the back of his mind that he had no shot of running as an independent either, so he went the Republican way and apparently got further with that than Bernie did as a Democrat since the DMC wanted their status-quo favorites to run.


  • I’m definitely banned permanently, I’m pretty sure I’ve got one of those evercookies somewhere that will make sure I stay banned, whether it’s outright or a shadow-ban.

    And it is mainly because of having engaged with some of the lowest of the low, deformed individuals that somehow inhabit there untouched. It had gotten so bad to where they would bombard my posts when I was ranting about things like my shitty job and they just dogpile on you for no reason other than they can because the mods aren’t active enough.

    I can’t imagine what it is like now being there and trying to criticize Musk or something since he’s apparently having a say now on it and Spez will bend over for his daddy.


  • Breakfast feels like I can live either with or without it at anytime. I just choose to acknowledge it at times as an excuse to have breakfast-related things like eggs, sausage links, oatmeal, coffee .etc

    But there’s times where I’ve eaten other things right around the time of breakfast so it is just simply another meal.











  • That’s because dealerships are scammers. I used to pay $108 for a simple synthetic oil change. Wal-Mart did it for $71.

    My dealership wants like $1,000+ for brake/rotor pad service. Other places around charge at least a few hundred dollars cheaper.

    I learned that going the mechanics route is better and that’s not saying there are no scammy mechanics, because there are. But once you find someone who’s fair and knows their shit? Give them your business.



  • I sympathize. The A0 line of Samsung phones, holy shit they suck. I have an A02s but it’s not my main phone, thank god. It’s sluggish, takes 3 whole minutes to finally boot up, everything on it runs slow, the keyboard interface takes 10 seconds to finally pull up. It’s technically not even that old when I got it and a year after, it did this.

    Oh and it’s battery goes from 100% to 94% in a few minutes with NOTHING running.
