    I actually remember albums. They were these physical discs that actually existed within our 3D world. Made entirely of vinyl, they played on a modular device designed entirely for their use and their use alone. In comparison, they were close to the same thickness, but considerably larger than even the ancient CD-ROMs were!

    And they sounded SOOOOO much better than anything you’ve ever heard.


  • Disliking what someone think doesn’t mean we care about what they think.

    People really need to accept the nuance in a thing. Because included in this is the notion that one can “care” about something or someone they dislike.

    For example:

    I care about what Trump thinks about immigration. I care about what he thinks about the rights and freedom of our LGBTQ+ friends and family. I care about what he thinks about other nations and the diplomacy needed to maintain a relationship with each and every one of them. I care about what he thinks about our healthcare system.

    I don’t, however- care about him.

    This is how nuance works. Everything isn’t simplified down to this, or else that. Black, or else white. Up, or else down. That each of these things to exist, one accepts that there is also a spectrum associated with it that allows for a gradation of perspective that has potential to lean in either direction.

    EDIT: I hope this didn’t come off as condescending. I didn’t intend it to sound that way. I’m actually only trying to offer a different perspective.











  • I can’t imagine what the hellish mental landscape is like for someone so terrified of minorities and women that they would resort to trying to erase the contributions these men and women made in defense of a country that would one day do this to them.

    I’m SO fucking disgusted to have to share my nationality with these sub-human pissfart clouds.

    When the time comes for these people to shake their mortal coil, I hope that their fear is intensified a thousand fucking fold. They do not deserve the peace that others have earned for leaving behind a good life.
