When I started to question religion, I went to my family for support.

My brother locked me in my room and yelled at me that I just needed to pray and read the bible more.

Got sexually assaulted by a group of kids at church. Church covered it up because their parents gave a lot of money to the church.

Watched all these people go to church on Sundays and act like they're good, but then be complete pieces of shit the other 6 days of the week.

It's no wonder we're 50th in education when this is one of our senators.

An idiot, and a coward. Pathetic.

Can confirm. Resident Evil Requiem is fantastic. If you're a fan of the RE games, you'll definitely enjoy it.

I swear. They see a perfectly functional feature that needs zero changes and just start frothing at the mouth thinking of all the ways they can redesign it unnecessarily.

Well it only took 10 hours of playtime, but Final Fantasy 7 Remake has finally started to hook me. Was kind of hesitant with all the cutscenes and ridiculousness in the first few chapters, but it's gotten good.

Never played a FF game before this. Other than starting FF6 and playing for an hour.

I've been exceedingly excited for this game so it makes me happy to see a review like this.

Feels like I've been riding the burnout train HARD for the last year. But somehow my brain just keeps kicking the crash out can down the road. Like it's waiting for the perfect minor inconvenience to be the proverbial straw that broke the camels back, and then I'll snap.

At least it's finally nice enough weather for hammock time.

An hour reading/meditating/napping in the hammock on my lunch break makes a world of difference.

Don't eat the forbidden cotton candy tho. It's full of dead mice and mice droppings 🀒

We have put in wire mesh around the drain and filled the hole with sand in the hopes that it prevents further mice incursions into our walls.
