A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

Idk, man. There's a certain vapid hollowness to a lot of the consumerist fan cultures.
Like, I'm not going to complain that you've got a desk covered in "I love golf" tchotchkes or bobble heads of your favorite movie character all over your bedroom or Batman's logo tattooed on your arm. But I'm not going to admire you for it.
It's nice not to be so self-conscious that you can't enjoy yourself and cultivate friends who enjoy the same thing. But sometimes its also nice to do a little bit of introspection when other people are consistently turned off by what you're doing with all your time and money.
Hate the sin, not the sinner, though. I also get really upset about consumerist culture, but I try not to take it out on the people who enjoy it. It's really the capitalists at the top of the chain that are pushing all that crap, and they do it because they love money. If the world were better, and there were more responsible ways to enjoy that sort of thing, I think most people would jump on it.
Like I said, I'm not here to rub my opinions in anyone's face. I just don't think reflexively hording shit is the kind of "fun" I'm going applaud someone for engaging in.
No more than watching a guy chug a bottle of vodka or smoke a pack of cigarettes
