Yeah, they are. I don't think people understand the fiscal realities of living in America, but I'll tell you one thing. I just get gas at the gas station. Maybe some sigs. No Red Bull, no Monster, I go home and make instant coffee. If this is the nation of the lowest common denominator, then I'm gonna fucking lean into it. I don't eat fast food. I don't go to the movies. I don't go to the mall. I don't do any of this Yankee shit. I constantly educate myself 24 fuckin' 7. It's the only thing that keeps me sane. Relative to what I do mostly, the library is one of my frequent places though. No Coachella for me. No Disney land. No toys like Star Wars figures. Just integrated circuits, code, and knowledge. With some mathematics that I fucking stumble the fuck through. If something breaks, I learn how to fix it. I go outside and pick the weeds before I would ever spray. I plant food. I eat that food. I grow my own weed in a legal way. I cook my own food. I am 40 years old. The world just gets worse. And I feel it's because we feed the problem. No more fucking war. Israel is committing a genocide. Religion is for Idiots. If I buy music, I have to have a hard copy and I rip it to my devices. If I cannot do this, I will sit in fucking silence staring at the wall. For I am an unmovable object. I am not perfect. I don't want to be perfect, I also don't want to be a cuck. or an insensitive idiot. But I will tell you the truth.

Sir, this is a Wendy's, and I already cucked you, sorry.
