Hammer Smashed Face by Cannibal Corpse. Something about the soft tones and slow rhythm just put my mind in a very gentle state.

The excavator song by Blippi, although the repeat request was by my 3 yo, I obliged because that song is a lowkey banger.

These things are garbage.

Something about it just ruins my mood. I think it’s linked to how my parents put that song over old home videos and as a kid I would watch them and just ball uncontrollably at the loss of such simpler times (when you’re a baby and don’t have to worry about shit, you’re just cared for and loved).

I hate that song, it makes me sad as fuck every time I hear it, and if I never heard that song again in my life it’d be a better one.

Optimism isn’t always accurate unfortunately. I even try using their language if I know a bit of it and get denied the interaction. So they are essentially refusing to interact with folks not of their own race. So essentially, even though I’m bending over backwards in the ways I can, they’re being the racist individuals in this situation. If you downvote, you’re a moron who needs their head removed, because how else is that supposed to be interpreted?

English is the national language, I only know this because it was going to be German, but the decided against that. And yes, those are the only words they seem to know in that situation, “no English” so idk how else that is to be interpreted.

All this talk of xenophobia and racism, which I get are indeed often reasons why people do this, but there’s a certain show of lack of respect for the new home country if there’s not even an effort made. If someone is visiting a country, I get there’s an exception, but if someone moves to a country, it shouldn’t be uncalled for to expect at least a minor effort to learn just enough of the new language to transact/survive. That’s something I see a lot as an American, and it frustrates me- Folks who move here and have been here for years, but can’t learn enough to at least sort of transact. I have so much respect (often more for them than natives) for those who learn even a couple words so I can do my job to help them, but then there are folks who I’ve seen for years that still refuse to learn a single word of English, so we play the mime game trying to figure out what they want. If I move to another country, you bet your ass I’m not going to expect them to speak English, and I’ll do what I can to at least learn some words or phrases so I can interact with the populace around me. I feel like that is one of the most significant forms of respect for a new home country that one can show. Not everyone is as nuanced in their outlook and opinions, and a lot of those folks are indeed racist xenophobic.

I feel like that quote was talking about me and that makes me uncomfortable… lol.

I’m not savvy enough to do all that. Let’s put it this way, I legitimately floated the idea of YouTube premium before trying to figure the complication that is configuring a different software setup for my entire network just to avoid the ads.

Yes, Mint is great… on the hole. In regards to the ads though, I, and Ryan Reynolds, and YouTube wholeheartedly disagree. I see almost as many of their ads as I do ones for St Jude’s. It’s like, I get it, kids get cancer, it’s sad as fuck, stop reminding me that it could happen to mine!

Well, everyone is wrong sometimes, you just chose today. That film is a masterpiece. And yes they ripped off a bunch of other shit, but they did so with proper style.

If I have to hear Ave Maria again in my life I’m going to legitimately lose my shit.

Deadpool would like to disagree. That movie is going to absolutely fucking slap.

Good for you.

Never heard that.

Mindless Self Indulgence. They are criminally underrated. Although their older stuff is better than the newer.
