Fireworks should be banned, for a multitude of reasons, but damn if I won’t miss them. I have fond memories watching fireworks. I guess I live in a community largely build around fireworks displays, so to me it’s all about meeting in the park, grabbing some too expensive food from a cart vendor and watching fireworks with friends.
You really had me, all the way to Todd Cum. Quality work.

My major professor is fucking prick. I’m thinking about just giving up on my phd. I’m tired of dealing with nonsense.

Comparing every male video game character to Marcus Fenix would really rile up anybody who remembers the cliffyB drama.

I did it. I shaved my head. No more hair. Bald. Baldy baldy bald boy. That’s what they’re calling me. In the streets.
I promise I wasn’t trying to call you out or anything. I know what you’re feeling. Hell, I’m in a committed relationship and the self-doubt still rears it’s ugly head sometimes. I just wanted to post some of my own ramblings and talk about, I guess what I would call, a key western male issue.
Good luck my friend, I’m sure you’ll find someone soon 
I think it’s important for men to understand that desirability is a fully internal feeling. The only person who can make you feel desirable is yourself, no amount of sexual partners will change how you feel. At the same time, of course, society does pit men against each other on the basis of how many different women they can have sex with. But that is still a comparison between men, women’s actual attraction does not ever play a role. They are simply being used as a metric of desirability.
In the real world people are attracted to so many things, there’s no need to sweat it. Try to do things for yourself that make you feel good. Buy some good clothes, work out, etc. Don’t do these things for women, do them for you. You are the only person you need to worry about finding you attractive.
I agree with Marx on this one. Religion is a reflection of materialist conditions. To that end, any group cultures is going to be, in some way, a reflection of materialist conditions. Therefore, Atheist talking as a group will be somewhat identical to religion.
For my honest beliefs, I will happily label myself as athiest; antithiest. Any “God” that treats it’s children this way is in no way worthy of worship. And I would rather believe that I was just very unlucky than to believe that a consciousness in the universe chose to curse me with the afflictions I face.

I’m working on a theory, that the rise of livestreaming and the erosion of rights, or at least sympathy, for the disabled are connected. You can decide what kind of -posting this is, but the disabled have historically been shunned to venues of less-than-repute entertainment to make a living. Carnival workers, ‘freak show’ members, etc. And live streaming is just the next venue to pop off. As more disabled people, who are unable to work a regular job, give streaming a chance (www.twitch.tv/myelint tomorrow at 1 p.m. est) the expectation that the disabled will be able to make a good amount of money just playing video games is reinforced in society and the idea that we may need assistance, especially financial, becomes less accepted.
But even for the successful, it’s just like working those older jobs. There is no advancement in the field of streaming, just as there was no advancement for working at a carnival. Even worse, creators on streaming platforms are not given the same workers’ protections as a regular job, beholden to the ‘gig economy’ style of employment where you can have your job snatched out from under you and you get no attempt to bargain your own pay. Then there is the fact that you have to be constantly performing and hope you don’t lose your audience.

The thing about historians saying that people were friends and not lovers is to avoid coming to conclusions without necessary evidence. Now, I’m sure there is a degree of homophobia, but historians aren’t from those cultures, so they can’t say for certain if a behavior was actually evident of homosexuality or if it is simply the lens of modern culture.
I have a funny story about this. In 1685, James II, a Catholic, came to the throne in England. The people, who were very protestant, let this happen with minimal rebellion because everyone thought he was gay. But in the 1600’s they didn’t really have a word for homosexuality, so the only thing that is clear from historical records is they were very sure he wasn’t going to have a kid during his reign (he already had a daughter). So my history professor professor explained it as they all thought he was nudge nudge you know. But when he did end up having a son, all hell broke loose and the people of England basically invited William of Orange to invade.
You know, I don’t know. I really expected to see a ton of people in shirts with the picture of Trump right after he got shot around me but that didn’t happen. At the same time, not seeing any of the lib lawn signs I Saw back in 2020. I think I’m going to weigh the lack of enthusiasm for Trump heavier and say that Kamala will probably wins with a fairly weak voter turnout. But that’s more of a guess than anything based in hard data.
