  • And that’s how I used to be back in the day and that shit destroys your mental health. And when you do “slip” it’s always worse and more exaggerated because of the repressed feelings. I would think that there was something wrong with me and I hated that part of me. I wished that I was completely straight and would internally shame myself whenever I had “gay thoughts” because I thought it made me less of a man. But at the end of the day, nobody cares about how manly you are except for people that want to feel like they are better than you or people that want something from you.





  • I feel like bisexuality is way more common than what we see. And if anything, I feel like the reason why so many women are more likely bi or willing to experiment vs men is literally just the bullshit stigma against being seen as gay.

    And this may just be my experience, but being bisexual isn’t as easy as just choosing one or the other. The problem is that if you repress that much of your sexuality it only grows more… Intense. And sometimes more depraved, which is never a good thing. And I feel like that’s why a lot of those men end up getting caught doing “gay” things but it’s never just normal stuff. It’s always super crazy shit they get caught doing because it’s been repressed for so long that they make awful impulse decisions on feelings they’ve been ignoring for years. Like holding in your anger for 30 years and then going absolutely fucking mental when your coworker takes your parking spot.



  • And yet i still can’t click on icons on the taskbar to bring up a window that is behind another. Gotta use “alt+tab” until I get to the window I want to show up. At first I just thought it was my PC at work but I later found out that it’s every PC in the entire building. It’s absolutely infuriating that features that’ve worked for 30 years are now suddenly broken in Windows 11. I started migrating to Linux for my home PC and it has only made me hate Windows even more when I go into work.



  • I’m a younger millennial but I know how to do that. Culturally I relate way more with gen z than I do millennials, but man do I feel immense pain when I have to explain to people younger than me how to use technology. I had to explain to one of my younger coworkers how to navigate between folders and different hard drives within Windows the other day and it was more difficult than teaching my mom how to use a smart phone when they first came out. Too young to have had a MySpace but old enough to be everyone’s personal IT guy.


  • I’m not saying it’s a bad anime, in fact I think it’s pretty damn great, it’s just that there are so many others that I think deserve just as much love. But I’m sure that the large influx of watchers has to do with people that are new to this kind of media. Every once in a while there is a show that brings in a bunch of new fans and I’m always happy when it happens. And as long as people get in the door I’m all for it. There’s already a weird kinda stigma about watching anime in the west, which can be amplified even further because of some of the hardcore fanbases. Don’t even get me started on some of the gatekeeping that can take place over pretty much any subject about the genre. I know that there are specific and “best” ways to experience anime, but It’s like, my dude, nobody is going to be interested in anime if you have to explain to them the pros and cons of sub vs dub every single time someone shows an interest in anime. Just let people watch it and enjoy themselves even if it’s different from the way you watch it. If everyone had to read all of the Lord of the Rings books just to watch the movies they’d have been a complete flop compared to the budget.

    I’m starting to think this is the point these days. Maybe not in the beginning, but nowadays they seem to not only be pushing it harder but are straight up ignoring the obvious issues. Like, they don’t even acknowledge the issues anymore. And the US government, the country where most of these companies are based, is not only ignoring the issue, but actively making it harder to regulate and easier to abuse. And I’m sure they welcome the misinformation created as a godsend.








  • If you go look at most places where people regularly use trucks for actual work in the US like construction or agriculture, pretty much the only ones driving the newest and most luxurious new trucks are the bosses while the actual workers use older and more practical vehicles. And a lot of those fancy trucks have so little bed space that I can hold more shit my friends Subaru Outback. And I say give me the tiny truck that can parallel park.
