| Its incredibly hard out there these days. I'm 39 and am back at home. Its embarrassing, especially when all my peers have families and homes of their own. I came close to buying a house a few years ago, just before Covid, but lost out because of a house inspection that came back REALLY bad and the ... |

| I used to be a CNA in the Oncology ward at a hospital for several years and I am definitely pro euthanasia. Have you ever seen a person suffering from bone cancer? Just pure unimaginable pain every waking moment of their life. I think a person in that situation should have the choice to end their li... |

| I don't hide my special interests, but I don't bother talking to people about them unless they ask (and god help them if they do). Buddhism I kinda keep secret mostly because people would probably laugh if they thought I was trying to be a Buddhist. Plus I live in Kentucky now and I'm not real sure ... |

Not really. I'm a month away from 40 and still have them. Currently its computer programming (HTML/CSS/Javascript and a touch of Python) and Buddhism.
I think heavy metal has been a staple as a special interest of mine since I was 11 and I still am just as passionate about it now as I used to be. |

Hands down one of the best all female metal bands of all time. Fernanda's vocals remind me SO much of Chuck Shuldiners vocals and I can't get enough. |

| I mostly listen to his ambient stuff. Ambient Works Vol II is classic. I haven't listened to him in years to be honest. Went through a real heavy phase of binge listening to Aphex, Boards of Canada, and older Oneohtrix Point Never several years ago. Actually...I need to give Vol II a spin again. Bee... |

We've been having issues ever since my diagnosis 17 years ago. It seems that they acknowledge it only when things are going well. When they are not, they say that ... |
