I do not and cannot take a stance on a conflict or debate if I don't have the proper knowledge about that thing to give a reasonable opinion. Wanting to understand more about the Palestine Isreal conflict has caused me to DIVE into European History and its a deep dark hole of terrible people

I used to LOVE IGN.... now I just wonder wtf happened. I want to better understand how that area of news reporting, SEO terms, audience bait, sponsors and payment for different stories works. I'm so curios to know how the IGN I knew and loved has become what it is today

I tried reading The Alchemist once when I was younger and couldn't absorb it.
Now I'm having this resurgence of interest in books I couldn't comprehend before. It's a lovely way to pass the time 💜

I hope everyone likes pictures of storms blowing some palm trees cause that's what I'll be posting from Sunday to Monday.

I'm not worried about the storm.
I'm worried because of the overly nonchalantness of my neighboring Angelinos

I've never seen so many different people in my life hype up the same game like I see now with Baldur's Gate 3.

But I was looked down on because I'm still a fan, im green, I still get passionate meeting devs

I got a camera a few months ago and have been playing around with manuel settings lately.
