You are likely scanning my profile and history because I said something in a tone that made you feel funny or angry. This is called being reactionary. You can overcome it.

  • The damage done to this country by the right is incalculable and likely irreversible.

    When the internet started empowering the dumbest idiots who don’t understand the world to find and support each other, we lost.

    The human brain is not naturally a problem-solving tool of logic and reasoning, it has to be trained to use logic and reason, and in a world of comfort and ease like in the USA broadly, people had no incentive to learn more and be smarter other than social pressure, and that also dissolved as people found each other online and removed the pressure to step up their intellect to be accepted in broader society.

    This has made a deep, slippery well of pseudo-science and naturalism and healing oils and magic water and crystals, which because of placebo effects and social influence, feel like they do more for people in their daily lives than mysterious terms like “mRNA” that defy all understanding or capability for people of limited intelligence to discuss with their coworkers around the lunch table.













  • What you consider legal now, could be considered grounds for arrest or worse if the world changes. And the world is always changing.

    That said, if you have no interest in torrenting files or starting insurrections out of your basement, a VPN isn’t going to do much for you. They’re barely effective for actually protecting you if the actual government wanted to go after you for something and your data and personal info is already compromised by the fact that you’re here, chatting on the internet. If you just browse social media it will give you a bigger headache to have it on since most sites now block VPN traffic and reddit will even permanently shadowban you if you log in under a VPN.





  • It really depends on the part. Austin and San Antonio are very art-focused, moderate/liberal cities in some of the most beautiful areas of the country, but everywhere in America has rural populations of utterly deranged hog-people.

    A place like Dallas you aren’t as likely to get shot, but you are more likely to face weird, old-money racism and discrimination.

    The problem with texas is it has some of the most vast areas of rural population, as the entire state is just this flat sprawl of land with isolated communities full of poor drug addicts who just stare at the flatness of it all before going insane.
