I was talking to one of my friends and he mentioned staying home on July 4, citing how there are a lot of really ugly things going on in the US.

After thinking about this myself, I’m starting to feel the same way. Instead of being proud of the country, I’m feeling like I’m just another wallet that companies and the government are trying to suck all the money out of.

The cost of living is going up, the housing market is a nightmare, I don’t feel very confident in our government at all, the job market is a nightmare…

I think I’ll be staying home this year too… anyone else?

    Honestly as a religious person myself I’m constantly disgusted this isn’t the norm.

    If the topic of religion ever comes up, the theory is my favourite conversation. I’m not here to sell you on my view of God, and I don’t want you to sell me on yours. It’s two sides of the same frankly quite interesting coin, and I like learning about the different ways people do things - but I’m not here to make you do things my way. That would be wrong.

    And unless the topic comes up organically, it doesn’t fucking matter. We can work together or be best mates or whatever and unless you asked, you’d never have to know I was religious.
