You're making jokes, but yes. This is a man that drew on a map with a sharpie to change the course of a hurricane. There's nothing stopping him from blatantly lying about the reality that is right in front of our faces.
It's due to my passion for the subject and hope that I could cultivate the tools for critical thinking in young minds.
That being said I'd be terrible at it.
-First day of School
-Students: Good morning MisterNeon.
-Me: Cram it you little shits! Today I'm going to teach y'all why Mexico is cool. Anybody who says the words "aliens" or "giants" is getting thrown through a window.
Modern games rule. UFO 50, Path of Achra, Balatro, and Halls of Torment are all bangers that came out last year.
Now modern AAA games do suck because they have to make profit and expansion that competes with general index funds from the stock market rather than competing with other video games.
Go check out some of the lower budget weirdo games, you might find something you like.
I played it. When you switch to your hand and click on the art pieces it brings up an opaque dark background. This displays a slightly higher res scan of the item, some information about the piece, and a link to information about the art (I think they all goto The Met).
The sentiment is absurd and we live in an absurd world. Conformity is not mortality, just because something is foundational to civilization doesn't make it benign. This isn't a philosophy or a statement of fact just my personal feelings. I find money to be crass and dirty. Money seems to be caustic to the human experience and humanity existed hundreds of thousands of years before we invited it (thus not intrinsic to our nature). It's an invention that instead of serving humanity has instead enthralled countless of our ape like brains.
If you're able to purchase a good or acquire a service that makes you happy without these thoughts invading your decision then I'm jealous. That's an ability I lost a long time ago.
It's not about a lack of funds per se. I find spending money undermines any legitimacy for an activity, "best things in life are free". Might be the same reason I don't like amusement parks. This might be a psychological hold over from years living in poverty.
I understand why you're making this suggestion and appreciate the sentiment. Unfortunately I don't register online interactions as full social interactions like some other people. It's why I found social media platforms based on real world identities obtuse and vapid.
I really need a place I can goto that doesn't cost money, people know who I am, those people are happy I'm around, I'm happy they're around, and I'm comfortable there. Unfortunately what I described is "a place I belong to" and I'm not going to get that in America.
I'm almost 40. I barely leave my house and can go a week without going further than my porch. Less than a dozen people have seen my face in the last month. Weekends and holidays are becoming mountains of isolation I have to cross without the distraction of work. I don't have people I can have heart to heart conversations with. All my experiences with professional psychology have been horrid and expensive. I can feel myself becoming socially maladjusted and mentally crazed. Drinking also effects my cholesterol levels so I had to cut that out, so no social outlets via bars, taverns, etc.
The saddest thing is that this is the most prosperous I've ever been in my life and I primarily attribute my minimal contact with other people for that.
