The story we told ourselves was that the "American Dream™" was alive and well, even though it definitely wasn't. The richest families of America rigged the game so that they would always win and the bottom 90% would always be broke.

Five Things Romantic People Could Learn from Aromantics
A year ago, I came out as Aromantic, and this year for pride month, I decided to write for romantic people (what we call "alloromantic") since they represent 99% of the population. Not having an ability to fall in love can be a weakness in some ways (don't ask us for relationship advice, we don't …

The Facts Are These…
I apologize in advance if some of these links are behind a paywall. I have a subscription to the Washington Post, so that is where the majority of this info comes from. - Trump had 70 days of warning that this disaster was coming and did nothing until he absolutely had to. Story - Because …
Sexual Minorities in Games
I'm old enough to remember when sexual minorities in media were never talked about. Anybody wise to sexuality in the 60's knew that Uncle Arthur on Bewitched was gay but it never got mentioned in the show itself. It wasn't until a show called Soap came on in the early 80's that broke the sexuality …
I’m Aromantic
June is "pride month" in the US, and it is usually filled with corporations trying to show how forward thinking they are in appealing to the LGBT community. For a while now, I have been thinking that I am part of that community myself. The thing is I am not L, G, B. or T. …
Virtual Reality vs. Virtual Currency
The tech battle no one is discussing, because in the end, neither will win. In 2015, Oculus Rift was supposed to be the beginning of the VR revolution, it wasn't. In 2016, Samsung Gear VR was supposed to be the beginning of the VR revolution, it wasn't. In 2017, Playstation VR was supposed to be …

I have been really tempted to write about the steep decline happening in politics, not just in America, but everywhere these days, but there is way too much material to go through, and …
The Age of Facebook is Over
As my last post documented there is a plague on the internet that is having a negative affect on civilization as a whole. Facebook is the leading cause of this plague, and despite many opportunities, has completely failed to do anything about it. Pretty much every open group has been taken over by trolls and …
Internet Memes are Destroying Civilization!
Whatever Happened To The Internet Dream? Part 6 (read part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5) My last post was on happiness, this is the exact opposite. As you all know by now the US has elected a ultra right wing dictator wannabe who the only hope he gives to continued freedom …

Happiness: A Reminder
My personal life is a bit in chaos right now, and it doesn't help that here in America we have been going through over a year of added stress with election stuff. I feel I need a reminder of what is REALLY important, and so I am rerunning (and updating) a trio of posts I …
