note that i'm specific about hipsters because it seems to happen in a few waves. the first wave are the originals that start something, usually through serious means (ie, through l…

there's a huge difference between serious art and serious cultural activity. like experiencing national parks for instance, pack in pack out just like i had to do in boy scouts (an…

nah it's too much of a problem in other areas, see the comment i made above. we need to seriously raise the bar, socially. back in the dialup days we actually read the political st…

hipsters ruin everything literally my mantra whether it's last years riots from people wearing 20 dollar red fist shirts from amazon, or jan 6th insurrection by the dude wearing so…

I'm saying that the big giant corporations and the giant governments we used to fight against died or became completely ineffective to do their jobs and the only thing that happene…
