  • I didn’t start caring about politics until the late 2000s. When I learned about how bad George W Bush was, it gave me a hint. Politics to me growing up, was just simply background noise, something I could ignore. It was until within Obama’s second term that I started to really see what was happening, so this was about 26 for me. Then 2016 since, I would say that my trust in the government has all but been broken and that was even before Trump had his first term.



  • Monster Javas.

    It’s the only Monster-related drink I’ll have, not a fan of the other flavored energy drinks they have or even the original energy drink. I have gone about 2 - 3 weeks without a can, it has helped some but when I have a can, it is a nice kick up in energy. Prolonged periods though tend to bring an energy crash.




  • Technically speaking, it is illegal to even save images you find online to your PC.

    However, because that billions of people do it, it is not enforced much less, not even talked about. However, I’d like to clarify that the only time you may run afoul with it, is if you find yourself at odds with a very uptight stock image site like Shutterstock. Simply because they charge money, quite expensively I’ll add, just to use stock images. They don’t like people finding ways to download stock images from their service.


  • I too felt like Gold and Silver was the pinnacle peak of Pokemon popularity. The games were fantastic. The closest I got to playing Pokemon similarly to how I did back then was the remakes of Gold and Silver for the DS.

    Generation III, Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, really dulled the franchise as they were trying a lot of new things. Which really felt like a throw-anything-at-the-wall-see-what-sticks way to go about it, only Pokemon.

    And granted that Generation IV, Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, did fire up that spark again but it only felt like things tapered off once we moved on from that generation.









  • I honestly believe we’re wasting time with the Middle-East…again.

    Unless it’s for freaking oil.

    I mean, I’ve obviously been upsetting people with a few things I said regarding the Iran issue. Like come on, the people in those countries, almost always need a nudge or two to figure out how to better themselves. If they don’t like other countries fiddling with their business, then guess what? FIX YOUR COUNTRY! The Taliban took over Afghanistan in less than a week! What did the people do? Allow it to freaking happen, after the US has spent years and lots of money doing what they could there.

    And as soon as they’re out, oop, back to normal I guess! As long as religious tensions and the allowance people do about corruption taking hold, there will always be violence there whether other countries interfere or not.

    It’s almost freaking pointless.













  • Similar to treat others as they treat you. I can’t count how many times, people have decidedly confronted me to be a asshole of a bastard, then are quick to play the victim fiddle soon as it is handed right back at them. Don’t be a prick or you’ll get the treatment right back. I don’t care what you’re going through or anything, I’ll automatically assume you’ve got no life going for you to be acting like a bitch to people online.


  • You take more time off than you want to. When I began my current job, I was on for 5 days a week. And I ran with that ball for a good year and a half. But, I started to use PTO/PPTO like nobody’s business and I even took hits on my points. I keep skirting at 4.5 points because it’s just not fun and rewarding to do what I do anymore.

    When I keep coming in and having to correct people’s mistakes, on top of what I’m assigned to do and how I’m to be someone’s crutch when they aren’t pushing themselves. It’s demoralizing. I haven’t even begun to talk about how many times I’d be complimented for what I do, only for management to turn around and backhand me the moment we have 1 on 1 conversations over concerns about performance. Quick to praise, but quicker to break you down.
