I've been on it for about a month. All the people I followed on Instagram (that have downloaded threads) automatically were added to my follows. Lots of Sci Fi and movie discussion

Politics, too.

My experience has actually been pretty good. It's like Twitter but with a lot more leftists stuff

No it doesn't. Didn't for me. I lived in a twenty year old Ford explorer for almost a year pursuing mine. Didn't succeed or make it big, but I wouldn't have traded it for the world. Not every dream relies on college loans, dude. Not if you're an artist.

I'd go so far as to say man, many dreams people have don't require a degree.

And if they do? DO IT ANYWAY. I attended two years of college for film. Never got a career out of it. Still paying off my debt. Still don't regret ANY of it.

Still getting by on the strings of my butt hairs in my 40s. Still wouldn't take any of it back.

Never sucked the love for either dream out of it. Did I get depressed? Sure. Did I go through a lot of shit and a lot of disappointment? Definitely. I'm two years out from failing in my latest attempt at pursuing one of my many dreams. You couldn't pay me all the money in the world to take it back.

You're speaking to me.... about me. About my experiences and telling me how it made me feel. Sorry my dude, I can't agree with you.

Take those chances. The memories are worth it. The stories are worth it. The lessons you learn along the way are definitely worth it, homie

Counterpoint to all the young people: Never listen to ANYONE who tells you not to follow your passion.

It's better to try, fail and learn than it is to grow old and wonder what could have been

Travel. Try new things. Eat food you've never tried before.

Get into the habit of reading. Actual books, not just things like lemmy.

Realize that literally every person you meet is a walking story, just like yourself

Brush your fuckin teeth.

Also: Floss. Seriously. Take care of your damn teeth. They're important.

They haven't been reasonable since Nixon

Ha! You were kinda right, huh?

They have more uranium than we do

There's a documentary for free on YouTube. It's good.

Only because I turned 18. But it was nice, nonetheless.

I'm in my 40s, now. I still have nightmares about getting out back into a center. But I also have a strong sense of justice and sometimes compassion for strangers due to my time in those places.

Seeing people my age put their OWN kids into those places and lost me a friendship, recently. I see nothing good coming from those places

I've lived in multiple "troubled teen" centers. You are 100% correct.

Good news for you, I guess.... this includes making women sign up.

Hard disagree. I never made it past the second episode of Disco and I completely understand what's going on in SNW.

Everyone who has asked me that I've told them simply: "You know what happens to Pike? Well, now he does too."

I was talking about 2020 where he lost due to poor turnout but okay.

Bernie could have still won if enough people showed up to vote.

We need to take some responsibility for that

I tilt one way.

Then wash my hands.

So you stand up and let the shit spread further?

I love all of the Apes movies with the exception of the Burton fiasco.

The new one isn't quite as good as Rise or War, but it's definitely fun.

The third in the original (Escape from the Planet of the Apes) is fricken awesome

I liked Kingdom but it was weaker than the trilogy of movies that came before it.

A glass of milk or sometimes a chai with milk will literally be my breakfast some days.

Milk rules.
