But the reason people like or dislike stories isn't because of powers or machines in them.

For some, sure. For others, like me, that is exactly why I like certain things.

I really don't get it. I realize this is likely a me thing. I've never read any his comics. He doesn't have any powers. He just shoots people. I think he shoots only bad guys, right? Seeing people get what they deserve is nice but you could also do that with a robot mech suit or giant green imaginary weapons or laser beams from your eyes. I could go on. He wears all black, so he's emo, and shoots people. I just don't get it.

Waiting so long to cut off a toxic parent. Not spending more time with a good parent. Not going to therapy sooner.

It's not about loving myself. I think I'm pretty decent. It's just luck of the draw that everyone around me has their head up their ass. I rationally know I should be loved. I emotionally feel the lack and don't understand it.

Coffee. My dad was in the navy in the 70s and you could tell by the tar he drank. Never got into it. Early 20s I got hired as a delivery boy for a coffee shop. A perk was that it came with free coffee drinks. Turns out I didn't hate coffee, I hated the swill my father brewed. Good coffee was quite good.

Vtubers. I get the cute anime girl thing and I like fan art of them as I do other anime. But the models move wayyyyyy to exaggerated. It hits uncanny valley for me.

Also I don't get the parasocial relationship of chatting in a huge room of other followers. The chat is scrolling by at a hundred miles an hour and you're competing with everyone else for their attention.

This looks awesome.

Don't ruin a hobby with money. You will lose all enjoyment of it. Something changes when you get paid for it.

I literally cannot think about it. We are tiny boats on the sea of aristocratic whims. I just wanna make sure my kids are fed and try to teach them to be good people. If I start to think about the greater picture, I spiral into very dark places. I constantly remind myself to focus on what I can control.

Havent felt proud to be an American in a long while. I'm proud of loving thy neighbor as myself, not lining the pockets of billionaires. I hate that I'm powerless to do much. Representative democracy? My ass. No one represents me. They're all aristocrats. "it's one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?"

I'm not bitter about it at all. /s
