Something that really bothers me (enough that a one day older, more experienced me might actually fight for it) is how people are slaved around at work for shitty pay. 9 hours a day is exhausting. Even 7 hours is a long time. I personally feel a shift should be 2 or 3 hours on average, with 5 at absolute max. Of course, that would mean either more workers would be required OR, ideally, shop shuts down for the day or perhaps reopens at another time. I think that would be the healthiest option for society.
Words mean more (to me)
Jan. 21st, 2024 01:52 pmThe people who say "words don't mean anything to me, actions do" befuddle me because words mean a lot to me. To me, it's the actions that can seem hollow, because you can do things for others not for their sake but as a way of manipulation. Words are the things many people have trouble actually saying. Because words hold a lot of power and can confirm the reality of things. Some people are scared to say them because they don't want that reality to fade or end up being fake. I love words because I love knowing how people feel about me, I love hearing how much I mean to them. I love knowing they love me.
Of course, having actions that show it are good too. They are reaffirmations.

Oct. 6th, 2023 02:17 amIn my opinion. Tsukasa is probably the worst crafted character in tbhk. From a young age, he was doing sus shit like feeding live animals to a "god" for presents. He was 4, granted, but...? Then he's in the haunted house for like, 50 years. He isn't sad or scared, he's just as he was before he agreed to give his life in exchange for Amane's. And granted...he was 4...so he likely didn't fully grasp what that meant, apart from just disappearing/not getting to be with Amane. Then he learns from Kou that Amane ends up killing, and instead of maybe going back to his time in an attempt to set things right...he's jumping for joy at the thought of being killed by Amane. Wtf? Is that genuinely his own response or does it come from being warped by what happened to him/the "god"? He returns a year later and predicts people's deaths like it's nothing. He is (as we learn from Amane) fussy and hard to deal with. Is he like that because he's traumatized or due to being possessed? And then...he and Amane die, and now, since he's come back to the far shore, whenever he sees Hanako, all he does is mentally torment him while saying he's glad to see him. Is it really about revenge or is he just enjoying it? Is it really his own desire to be malicious or is it the being that (still?) is in possession of him? We got an arc around the little him and got to see what the little him thinks of Amane... but it's frustrating because I feel like we still don't know what's going through his head and it's still not clear how he became supernatural prior to dying.
If I have to make guesses... underneath that childlike glee, he's serious, and he's definitely traumatized by what he was put through. He does enjoy tormenting Amane, not out of revenge but because... mainly... I suppose "normal responses" became boring to him, and "different responses" are what appeal to him, especially on a person of interest?
After the recent arc's finish, I kind of lost interest in the manga but I hope there'll be more glimpses through Tsukasa's mind... because he's flat as fuck and I hate it.

Slasher films
Oct. 4th, 2023 09:27 pmIt's just my opinion but I really don't like slasher/Jason/chuckie horror flicks. It's just crazy people hunting you down and killing you and doing the exact same thing over and over each movie. I know Chuckie got a series and if they decided to actually do something with the plot, good for them. But I wish they would just let the series die and stop spamming the tv channels with that garbage. Please show actual quality horror content. I don't even watch tv anymore I just think it sucks.

May. 3rd, 2023 01:54 pmI'm so tired of shootings happening. I don't even have a strong anti gun stance anymore - I can understand where they're necessary - but if closing up the market pulls the number down, I'm all for it.
I can't understand the selfishness of others who waive "right to bear arms!" when people are being terrorized by gun violence. Don't people have a right to be safe from it? Isn't it terrible a lot of people, including children, are either dead or traumatized because of it? Doesn't that mean anything?
(In less extremes, I do think stronger gun laws are an option, but it's frustrating when the government just won't make the necessary changes. I also find it frustrating that the issue is continually blamed on mental illness, as if mental illness turns you into a killer. The real issue is violent people, as I've echoed before. But that's never going to be addressed or tackled, so you just feel... hopeless about the whole thing.)
