The way we made fun of the war on drugs, I hope the future does the same with the Got Milk! Bullshit.

YOU NEED PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Now, do you want the milk with 2% fat and 46% cow shit or not?

Ive already been on edge for the past 30 years with how American products aren't allowed directly in other countries because the EU bans certain chemicals.

And post-DOGE, I'm absolutely mortified.

Covid was a glimpse.

I had coworkers who left small towns because they were Asian. Imagine being Filipino and having racists shout Chinaflu at you. Every single Asian person I met has a story.

I also had a friend disown their parents because they harassed a Thai family all during covid, calling them child smugglers. I've met these people, and they were perfectly wonderful 15 years ago. Just oblivious racists.

If I recall, DKC also had a secret INSIDE a secret.

I was following a strategy guide to get the last bits of secret and that one was a pain in the buttholes.

I have a bachelor in game design btw...

This is why I like saying "average person" when I talk about specific topics.

People who study the art are much more attuned and go out of the ordinary. Like directors when they watch movies.

Lemmy feels a lot more like old reddit.

New Reddit feels artificial. The written content posts LOOK like they're from AI. Much of the subreddits are now curated. You can't say Luigi.

Here, it's a bit of a wild west. And that's okay.

There isn't much written content posts. But the comments? I'm loving it. It comes off genuine. Human. Real. Even the shitty ones that make me want to downvote but damn do I somewhat see their perspective.

Jobs with shitty cultures. Restaurants, bars, places where managers are like in their 20s, the owner and management team are "family", and HR is some random woman in her 50s who chain smokes.

Once I worked at a office job, everything was so much more chill and drama moved outside High School BS to real adult stuff, like whose doing cocaine on the boss's desk.

This is how I feel with a lot of vices.

I think the worst part is when people don't realize they're addicted and have a lower-than-average life. Streamers normalizing things like peeing in bottles or living in a mess. Or just being addicted to doom scrolling and not going outside to interact with the real world.

And if the person doesn't have the tools to reflect on their situation, they're kind of screwed. They don't know what to change.

When I was a teen, I believed in that too. The most strict parents had the most wild kids.

As an adult, it's now verified.
