RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

This world is getting greyer and greyer... (kbin.melroy.org)

I just learned that George Foreman died recently. And while I'm not a big fan of boxing and his grills were okay to have used when I shared one with a roommate. I just got that feeling all over me again that the world is once again a little more greyer.

There are just some people whom we lost, that brought color to the world or made you go "well at least we still have this guy around!". It gets harder to say that because all of our heroes and inspirations are getting older and older and dying every year. To where we're going to be left with whatever today's stars are and even though I'm not that up there in age, but I'm not really that impressed with today's generation of stars.

It's like today's generation of stars took for granted, the paths that have been paved for them by bigger and better people, while pretending they made that path. It's entitlement.

All I can say is enjoy who we have left, because we'll never know when it'll come around again another big name falls.

Bitch take of the year here.

the arrogance and hubris on display here is astounding. You should be proud that you left the world a better place so your future generations don't have to face struggles you did.

You're also arrogant to think youngsters don't have any challenges. You're an invisible challenge for them too as a person who dismisses their struggles.

How entitled and bitchy you sound when crying about a world that is changing rapidly and you feel left behind. There's no need to hold on to the illusion that you will be around forever. Don't kill young peoples' vibes man. Be the star in today's generation.
