IMDB has existed for a long, long time. It’s honestly a shame as to what they turned into. They used to have been like the pinnacle of online movie reviewing and showcasing. Then they decided to axe the forums. Then they decided to blanket their splash page with what big movie is happening.

It just declined from there.

I’m incredibly jaded about voting. I think these mid-terms and the next general election are elections of which I will not bother with. And it isn’t even because of what’s being done with voters rights or the intimidating corruption from the republicans/trump.

It is stemming more from me realizing that there has to be more done than just simply voting someone end. That there has to be more done with getting society straightened up more to be aware as to how badly they’re getting fucked with. There just simply has to be more there to be done and I think voting isn’t enough.

I’ve voted in past mid-terms and general elections, I felt I tried my part in being with those who tried to vote against and vote out corruption in anyway I can. But, I’m having difficulty in seeing how much voting can do in these chaotic times.

You’re hopping all over the place, that I just skimmed and found nothing worthwhile to respond to. Good on you, I guess.

There’s a difference between a prisoner and someone who simply just existed with a different skin color. Come on now, I would’ve expected you to have enough intelligence to decipher the difference.

At this rate, yeah.

I mean, that’s how America was originally founded. We got sick of Imperial Britain’s shit, fought them to get the fuck away from us. Then, when critical ideals came ahead about slavery, we had our civil war. We definitely need another, but the problem is, with how the world has changed.

Because, it’ll be very bloody simply because one side will have all of the guns and ammunition (Government, police, military .etc) and the opposing side would only have numbers. In either case, it would send a very impactful and long-standing message about what happens when things are left unchecked for too long.

I don’t think Democrats are that interested in fixing or helping things anymore, they have their own agendas, disguised in the form of progressive measures. They helped fund ICE earlier this year. They didn’t fight hard enough to prevent any measures Trump and Republicans have taken that has undone what progress we have done.

So, if shedding blood has to be the answer to make anyone see or realize what really needs to be done, then that’s what it is going to take.

Mine is, just buy cheap food with what you can and moderate it.

I know a lot of people will recommend cooking and baking. But, what people aren’t talking enough of, is that it could take a lot of materials to get recipes done right. And those materials required could be expensive to gather. And once you’re done cooking said meal, you only have the materials to usually make that meal and you’ve got nothing else to lean on that you want to eat readily without cooking.

So what you ideally would want to do is set a budget and try to think to yourself as to what you’re comfortable with compromising, then just work up to that budget between what you want to cook and what you want readily there to eat.

I hate it.

I think gambling has tainted sports and is the epitome of corruption to the core. It’s very ironic that a baseball player by the name of Pete Rose, got a lifetime MLB ban for gambling, yet give it 20 some odd years later and Draft Kings is promoted which is gambling.

It fuels addiction, it makes people throw away anything they could that they could bet with, on the off chance, which is narrow, of winning it big.

It’s why I hate Las Vegas entirely, I hated it when poker games were nationally broadcast for a while at one point and so on.

Yes. Because, there’s a friend who I know we’d mesh well together.

Discord is my mainstay for direct communication, Facebook is because a lot of my friends are stubborn as hell to move on from it. Reddit has me permabanned.

That’s basically it.

I’ve been online for like, too long to see it decay and rot into the form it has been turned into. My only regret is that I didn’t embrace the early days or the first 15 years I was online for. Tack on 15 more years and I got to watch, albeit slowly, the corrosion take form.

Everywhere I’ve been to is either gone or transformed into a shallow representation of its former self. Everyone I know and knew are growing up and the times we had can’t be replicated anymore or enjoyed similarly. Features are being shoved in that nobody asked for but everyone uses without question. Optimization has taken a back seat, where everything breaks down in a moment’s notice as we’re given empty promises and apologies for it.

The spirit of community has fallen to tribalism and hivemindedness where simply being nuanced is just simply unacceptable anymore. It’s like you MUST pick a side, you MUST say the right opinions, you MUST express yourself justly or you’re whatever the side thinks you are. There is no room for critical thinking.

And every other day, I ask myself “what the fuck am I even doing anymore?” when it comes to being online. I’m just coming online for no other reason than just to check things and waste clicks. Because I’m not enjoying my time anywhere without being constantly reminded about the things I’ve watched the internet become for so long.

There was someone I knew, that when her gaming PC broke down 2 years ago, she decided that it was it for her. She wasn’t tech savvy, she wasn’t glued to the net or computers as much. She’ll use something until it breaks before she decides whether to continue. And when that computer died, she shrugged and decided to move on living as simple as she can be.

I don’t think I’ll go that route when my PC dies, I’ll still have a use for it. But if the internet becomes too expensive or it just plainly isn’t serving its purpose to me as it once did completely, I’ll probably consider it a good run well-lived.
