I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

    I was very, very anti-gun until I was about 36… now I build them.

    When my mom was pregnant with me in 1983, she got mugged at gunpoint in Baltimore and the gun was actually pointed at me while I was in the womb.

      I would watch the movie about this where the protagonist eventually tracks down his mother’s assailant. Park Chan-wook can writr and direct it and it will be called Youngman.

      That sounds like a horrible experience for her, though. What made you change your stance on guns?

        Politics.

        We have emboldened Nazis that have arsenals in their homes. Fascism hasn’t ever ended by voting it out.

        If shit goes down, I want to be more proficient than the Nazis so that they can be my loot crate.
