  • Why are you conflating “ghetto”, “gangsta,” and black? 95% of it is about where and how you grew up.

    There’s plenty of white guys who, although will never experience and understand what it’s like to live in America while black, understand the struggle of growing up in the ghettos, being socioeconomically alienated, and being pressured to look to the “gangsta” lifestyle.

    These three can often overlap, but are importantly separate things. A white guy in that situation won’t know what it means to be black like I do, but I will never have a fraction of their knowledge and experience of what it means to grow up to the streets.













  • I loved Severance too. I don’t usually go to film for my sci-fi cravings though.

    For shows, I really like that just casual kinda mundane tone that sort of parodies reality. Home Movies is great, Bob’s Burgers (the earlier seasons were better for this, but I’m still watching through them). Family Guy has those moments every now and then, although I wouldn’t call it one of my top shows by any means.

    My favorite show is probably Steven Universe. Everything about it was so artistically done; especially the soundtrack. Of the realm of kids/teens shows that were designed for the whole family, Steven Universe is one of the few that I personally think had a great and satisfying ending.







  • I have a pretty bad fear of spiders. If one is in my immediate vicinity, I generally get pretty spooked. Images of them freak me out too.

    There’s this huge one that spun a web right outside my window. I’m leaving it alone, but I can see it every day as I’m working. It’s one of those with the big orbs for an abdomen.
