I’m a genX dude, living in a genZ world. I love everyone. Be gay, be trans, be whatever. I love everyone until an individual proves they don’t deserve it. I don’t hate anyone based on groups, I hate people who are assholes.

  • I used to work in a prison (I was a civilian kitchen supervisor, not a guard), and I encountered a lot of gang members from a variety of gangs. Kitchen jobs are highly sought after by inmates, because not only are they among the highest paying jobs an inmate can get, but the job also comes with essentially unlimited food. Normal inmates walking down the chow line would get 2 pieces on fried chicken day, but some kitchen workers would down a dozen or more. I say that to say: The gang members I worked with were on their best behavior so they didn’t risk losing their sweet gig. All feuds were on pause in the kitchen. Gang members who would otherwise be at each other’s throats were laughing and joking with each other, playing Spades during breaks, and eating at the same table. They all treated me with respect, and I didn’t have any issues.

    The ones who didn’t work with me, genpop inmates, well sometimes things got very violent. I saw more stabbings/slashings than I can count on both hands, and I didn’t even work there very long.

    Whoever runs the social media for my town posted an AI generated image of a dog pissing on some flowers with the caption “Don’t piss on the begonias.”. When I called it AI slop, they responded by asking me if I expect them to train a dog to piss on flowers just for a picture.

    Like, the concept of not posting a picture of a dog pissing on flowers didn’t even occur to them.






  • ridiculing her for going to a barbeque and just getting beans (and other sides).

    Then that person doesn’t understand how it works. See the tray closest to the camera? Pretty much nothing but meat. Can’t fit the sides on there, so they go on a separate tray.

    Like, fuck that lady, but she didn’t go to a BBQ spot and just get sides. The huge pile of meat is right there.







  • If it wasn’t for my wife and her investment skills, I probably wouldn’t have gotten to where I am this quickly (or maybe at all). I have to credit her for that. I swear she has a demon in her pocket that tells her what to invest in. She’s like a machine that turns money into more money. We’ve been together for almost 38 years now, and she’s been my rock for that whole time. All my passion and hard work might have added up to nothing if she didn’t sit down next to me in the cafeteria one day and say “Hey, we should date.”. And her mom is an amazing person. Not many moms would open their home to their 14 year old daughter’s boyfriend when his mom kicked him out for dating outside his race.
