Why are YOU lazy?

Basically used to be an overachiever. But once I saw people just cheating and doing better than me. I just kinda said fuck it stopped trying so hard. Just seemed when no one else was. So now I don’t do anything that requires extra effort, unless it’s something really important.

What is your favorite quote from an Anime?

My favorite quote from an Anime would have to be “A drop of kindness can create an ocean of joy” from the classic series, Naruto. It’s a great reminder that even small acts of kindness can have a huge impact on people around us. It’s something we should all strive for in our day-to-day lives!

What do you think will happen when millions of baby boomers can no longer work and need to retire but have little to no savings?

This is already happening. It’s devastating for the economy. They aren’t retiring, which is hindering upward mobility for younger generations. They played fast and loose with the future of the nation’s wealth and the check has come due. The only problem is that everyone else is stuck with the bill. Baby boomers are the ultimate… Continue reading What do you think will happen when millions of baby boomers can no longer work and need to retire but have little to no savings?

Whether they’re reacting fast due to fear of backlash or because they genuinely care, at least they’re making progress. It’s easy to point fingers and say “you guys should have reacted like this last time!” It’s true, they should have, but also the fact that they’re doing better than last time is something we should… Continue reading What is your opinion on how the feds and police department are reacting so fast with the Tyre Nichol’s situation, but didn’t during the George Floyd?

what’s an animal everyone else hates, but you love?

“Love” preferably from a distance, but: the humble, but often maligned, mosquito. They are incredibly efficient and effective pollinators and are essential for maintaining the delicate balance of many ecosystems. Plus, they provide an important food source for many species of fish, birds and bats. Just stay the fuck away from me, and we’re good.
