So, I like metal. Death, thrash, heavy, doom, prog, it’s all great.

However, something like 8 years ago, I found myself really enjoying Lana Del Rey and I still can’t explain why. Then a year or two ago the same happened with Dua Lipa. They are the only artists I can’t explain and when I get suggestions similar to them I don’t like them.

At this point, the internet is so goddamn unusable without an adblocker that I don’t know why anyone would try.

At work, I’ll occasionally start talking to someone about some fandom like Star Wars or Pathfinder or whatever. I’ll go to the wikia or fandom page for them and suddenly I get a million popups and half the page is covered in ads. It’s actually so bad that my work’s filter will occasionally block a site because they’ll say that the ads are too bad.

The only time I see ads now is when I watch YouTube or Hulu on my TV, but even then I try to cast from my desktop (though Hulu ads seem to break through). I understand the idea of supporting creators, but for most YouTubers, their money comes from the sponsorships, not from me watching an ad.

I was somewhere around a year or two old. I can vividly remember me and the two neighbor girls who were 2 and 4 years older than me going into the bathroom and flushing some bath toy down the toilet, my dad being mad, then me asking if I could have it back when he unclogged the toilet.

I also distinctly remember trying to find a toy that for a while I thought was a fake memory that I made up. The toy was a small version of a T-16 Skyhopper that came with a Luke action figure. I had to have been 3 because that toy was 1999 and my memory was when we moved, and I remember that pretty well.

I also remember stepping on a carpet tack in our house, and I can even almost perfectly draw out that house’s layout even though it was in my first 3-4 years of life.
