  • Like most kids, I was enamored by the 90s Disney animations. So while Pixar was dominating, I got a bachelor’s in 2D animation.

    Graduated to no jobs. Animation work is shipped overseas. And the little animation jobs there are were concentrated in a few parts of the US.

    Not once have I ever made any income from my background.

    Been working on marketing for a decade adding more garbage to this world.



  • In my twenties, I was a teacher. In my thirties, I said fuck that. System is so fucked.

    In my state, there was a state level exam to qualify to become a teacher. I don’t know what Oklahoma’s is or what it looks like. What I do know is that it was as hard as the written portion of a drivers test.

    Some people speedrun it. I had to take it twice because the phasing always gets me confused. But, it wasn’t difficult at all, not to the level where I’d complain on Facebook to say it’s “difficult”. Maybe it’s difficult if you were homeschooled and weren’t taught a lot of the public school way of thinking.

    Was invited to a Dave And Busters as a bachelor’s party. It was so ridiculously corny. It was a gift from the groom’s dad. The groom didn’t have any other ideas, so this was it.

    All the plastic instrument games were broken. Half of the fighting games had a broken joystick.

    Honestly we could have just got a raspberry pi and some emulation games, and get drunk in the backyard.





  • I think the opportunity is better this time around.

    Democrats and Republicans secured a two party system and locked everyone else out because of a few things:

    1. Finances and resources.
    2. Media coverage. During debates, they had secret handshake deals to only argue against each other, which forces media to only cover them.

    Musk got resources. He spent a lot to get Orange Man in power. And TV and news is already lower on the trust scale, as the population leans towards social media.

    There’s a few other issues like local/state elections that won’t be friendly to non-Democrat/non-republican parties.

    Of course, this is all a pipe dream and like the libertarian party, it’ll quickly get thrown aside and the politicians will fold into one of the two parties.
