I might get a lot of flack for this, but I do think there is a growing want to be somewhere in the rainbow spectrum because it is seen as "in" right now. If you belong somewhere on that group you are more interesting, more special. At least that's the, subtle and sometimes not so subtle, sentiment I'm sentiment.

Gen alpha will never grow up with demo discs from pizza hut. I feel sorry for them. I spent so much time getting good at that crash bandicoot level though I was crap at that PaRappa the Rapper game.

What do they think they do at the factory?

And this is why I think plug in hybrids are the way to go for most new car buyers for the next few years. Unfortunately greenies think im a plague doctor peddling useless herbs and the diesel heads are convinced that I invented a way to replace testicles with soybeans.

A PHEV uses 5x less critical material than a compatible BEV, and people with one of these can be in ev mode 80% of the time or at least run the gas engine but get way higher carbon efficiency than ICE alone.

Unfortunately the new IRA bill nuked federal rebate for most of them and dealers are still charging an arm, leg, kidney, and firstborn in dealer markups

The issue is that is that now they have your billing address and credit card number

I've admitted to myself that there are people I just kinda do wish ill opon. Maybe not death or grievous bodily harm for most people, but there are people that when I think about them waking up and finding out that a swarm of birds shat on their car... Well it just tickles my pickle.

My empathy tends to run low about people that I dont know much about, but that I know hurt me and the people I care about. I think it would be ironic and vindicating that if during a live meeting of the board for Black Rock, the building they were in collapsed because of poor maintenance funding.

Well yeah, but if you were in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma working at a pharmacy, and some maybe sketchy sounding doctor told you to fill a prescription for Arnold Schwarzenegger, wouldn't you be a little suspicious?

I honestly don't know how I feel. Most content feels like 'consume our product/content and give us monthly fee' instead of nice shows and movies. Everything seems to have a point where it pulls me out and I find myself questioning if I'm crazy or if everything feels like shit.

There are some amazing gems, but for years it feels like Hollywood has cared less and less about making cool and engaging media and are instead of focusing on manipulating people.

I'm sure the problem is coming from the top, but writers and actors have been pretty shit too
