Well, yeah, you're technically right. Humanity will never have the default restraint and compassion to stop turning words into slurs, though. So we have to police it. Same reason we have... The police at all. People can't police themselves. We need systems and rules to do that for us.

Shit, I was gonna say three way tie between Spirited Away, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and 21 Jump Street, but if I count what I've watched at school then National Treasure wins lol

Why continue if you hate the trend? Either way, I think Kanye's living ego would destroy the planet, let alone the lions

They are good posts, IMO. The title may not be extremely clean, but they're also not unreadable nonsense, and I'll take good content with less than perfect presentation over nothing.

Music: my dad was in a hard rock band in the 90s and got me into a lot of rock and post grunge, then I got Guitar Hero and it was all downhill from there. Decided to pick up bass guitar because it was the less popular guitar instrument and I liked to be very slightly non conformist, and I just kept at it.

Video games: my mom bought me a game boy color, which I loved, then she let me use her Windows XP home machine, and I tried tons of free to play MMOs, private server world of Warcraft, then Half-Life 2 and Garry's Mod when Steam became a thing, and that was all downhill from there.

Extremely unique way to find that you enjoy learning mechanics and systems.

You start breaking into people's houses, and while living in their walls you slowly automate their homes for them.

My previous bass guitar had one of its machine heads snap off, and I had rehearsal that same day, so I looked online at the used instrument stock at local music stores and found a bass guitar used that was a very unique, discontinued model that I'd been essentially dreaming of for a while, and happened to be there.

What I probably should've done is replaced the machine head, which would've been a very quick and cheap fix, but I instead bought the new bass and then took it to use at rehearsal. Now it's my daily driver and I'm very glad I got it.

Edit: I fucked up and fixed the comment, somehow it double posted instead of just editing.

Unironically I'd love a "Lord of the Rings Extended Edition" version of his book. There are a lot of smaller details about some of the things he worked on that I would've loved to hear expanded on, but yeah, there's just TOO much

I listened to the audiobook, if that counts, but Total Recall, Arnold Schwarzeneggar's autobiography. When I started it I was like "holy shit, this is 25 hours? Dude must be milking it".

Turns out, he actually glosses over a lot, he's done THAT much in his life, and his drive and ideologies are inspiring. He was raised dirt poor without running water, was in the Austrian military, became a world class bodybuilder, a real estate mogul, a movie star, and a governor.

Just a riveting life's story.

I'm married now, but I was always a fan of the cheesy stuff, like going bowling or mini golfing. Some of my more memorable dates were extremely simple, like sitting in a car with the seats laid back listening to music and just talking
