  • There’s a YouTuber I follow mostly because she’s the perfect combination of being media savvy (highly polished videos), and being increasingly out of touch with “reality”. She’s building herself as a brand, which is fine, but the videos she kicks out are increasingly more about her life than any substance.

    Probably the last 10 videos/shorts were shot her wedding, and the latest one was the cost of her destination wedding, came in at just north of 100k, and she was off the opinion she got a deal.

    Fascinating, but also a bit sad these folks are being taken such advantage of because of social pressure and the normalization of such customs. The YouTuber in question may have the cash on hand (I get the feeling she has generational wealth backing her and is completely oblivious), but many folks will not and will take on significant debt.












  • Unfortunately the fact remains that he received 3 million more votes in 2024 than 2020. It’s simple to political missteps and cry foul, but I simply can’t overlook the fact that majority of Americans knew who he was, witnessed the same January 6th I did, and elected to restore that guy to office. In something that shouldn’t have been remotely close, he won. That speaks more to the mentality of average Americans than it does what the democrats did or didn’t do this cycle.

    Democrats aren’t faultless here, they continuously bury their best candidates for political nepotism (and I personally feel Biden would have been a solid president in 2016), lack courage when defending their positions, and are generally too worried to rock the boat that benefits their donors. I personally want funding limits in elections and ranked choice voting in all things and to curb this nonsense, yet the fact Donald Trump secured that many votes, the fact I have neighbors who fly his flag as a symbol of strength, gives me little hope for the future of this country.
