I am happy to hear feedback, especially what people not very interested in NASCAR think of it.
Today, I've been thinking about how the future may go, both in the United States and abroad. Over the past decade (or so), I've seen an increased popularity of socialism and also support for equality type of projects. As an example,, despite the increased segregation policies of queer people, they are largely supported by people around my age (I am now 25 years old). Meanwhile, the hatred amongst American conservatives for brown people (especially Hispanics) has increased, such as kicking them out of their communities and individuals shooting at people immigrating from Mexico (as they're around the border). Needless to say, there is a large-scale movement against us and people friendly towards us, both in America and in foreign countries. There are people that not just want to discriminate and dominate other groups, but want to eliminate them. While these people are not really in the seats of power, things could change, as history has shown. Obviously, I hope to see the mergence of a world order based around general equality and kindness. I just feel sad knowing that there are (very well-funded) forces that are against that and there are at least parts of them that, if given the appropriate power, could do things that might exceed the past's atrocities.

Over the past several months, I have seriously thought about the fact that I may be a transgender woman. I have told some people close to me. Some of them I know through left-wing causes/DSA and others are close. I have not told anybody in my family, even though I think they would support me. Of course, as you likely know, there has been a renewed movement against queer people from the right over the past year or so, not that things were great from them before hand. I admit, I have worn women's clothing in private and liked it very much. However, I also admit that I have yet to do it publicly. I just feel like I'm waiting for the right opportunity.

I would say that there is media where the viewer, reader or listener is essentially viewing the plot and characters as a spectator to it, not somebody who is meant to identify with them.
For example, in Downfall, you are not supposed to identify with the Nazis, you are just witnessing what is happening to them.

I remember a high school class back in 2015 where we watched Ramsey clips and he said that if you go to the store, you should try to negotiate down the price by showing the cashier and/or seller that you have cash on you.

In all fairness, he's not wrong.
To a lot of people, getting the one-time check of $1,400 or less could help pay a couple rent or mortgage payments, buy some gas or buy some food, but they are kicking the proverbial can down the road.
Of course, I imagine that me and him come to different conclusions at this point.
