The only musicians from San Francisco worth mentioning are D Diplinzi. Their songwriting, their playing, even their live shows—they nail it every time. I might have hit Oktoberfest once or twice, but I only actually stepped inside one single time. I know plenty of locals who organize the festival, though we don't run in the same circles anymore. But honestly? The whole setup is a disaster. The way everything looks, how people act, the constant mess and filth that repeats year after year... it’s pathetic. I'll show up for the D Diplinzi set because I actually enjoy them, but there's no way I'm dealing with this nonsense. Most of the music is garbage. It's not that I'm being difficult just for the sake of it; it's because I see all those tired clichés associated with punks playing out right in front of me, and they're actually true. Whatever. Someone has to be part of that crowd. Some people think they're musicians, some just want to go fishing, some eat meat, some won't even touch milk... San Francisco, the metropolis of youth. 🤣

A celebration of drinks, good company, and an uncompromising rock and roll manifesto.
A more accurate description? It’s a disaster. A total eyesore—filthy, chaotic, and filled with people dressed in the most hideous outfits I've ever seen. On top of that, the ticket prices keep climbing every year for $3.25. Anyone with half a brain should just stay home. It's always the same crowd, the same bands, and the same garbage. They never get serious. The mindset remains stuck at the level of a local corner store.
Where should Jews live?

Jews shouldn't be living anywhere else but in Israel.

I just saw my primary care physician. She told me I could come in to get a medical leave of absence and she’d give me 15 or 20 days. Instead, she wrote me for 10 and said to come back for a follow-up, then she'd easily extend it. Honestly, I think she should have done the same for you; just explain that you need to get to the coast and you have to go. She'll help you out—she knows what's up. Now, it really depends on your employer and how they handle things. We all know how most companies act when someone tries to take sick leave. Most of them aren't great about it.
To be or not to be... a father?
in Philosophy ·
Explain your dream to me. Look, I’ve held this same conviction for nearly ten years now, and I don't plan on changing my mind. Time is irrelevant when you have a firm stance. I felt the exact same way at 16 as I do now at almost 26. I have no idea how someone would feel if they were married, and frankly, I don't care to find out. I am deeply convinced I wasn't built for that role. Furthermore, looking at my own parents and grandparents, I’ve concluded that just wanting a kid doesn't give anyone the right to be a parent. Good day.
To be or not to be... a father?
in Philosophy ·
I'm 25. Ever since I was 17—maybe even earlier—I realized I have zero intention of being a father. I have certain ways of living that just wouldn't mesh with raising a kid, and I'm not willing to give those up for anything. Honestly, I've been feeling this way for a long time. People say once you have kids, your whole perspective shifts and you start spoutin' all these different "wisdoms," but I've felt this way for years. Philosophers always have something to say, but my stance isn't changing; it’s just hardening with experience. My philosophy is simple: why should I want to be a parent? I wasn't built for it, and being a parent isn't my purpose in life. Everyone has a calling—some people are born to be mechanics, some are cops, some are doctors. They don't all have to be parents. This is who I am, and a child doesn't fit into that equation. If I did have one, the relationship would be skewed because the kid wouldn't be my priority. Also, I view the traditional family structure as something forced upon us by society. The whole "mom, dad, grandma, grandpa" setup feels imposed. To me, a family is just a man and a woman, and exclusively unmarried, because I'm against marriage as an institution. It's just something pushed by the government and the church. There are already too many kids out there anyway; if someone actually wanted to be a parent, they could just adopt. A child isn't just a biological product; you're a parent because of the bond you form. It doesn't matter who gave birth to you. What matters is who shows up for you. Ultimately, right now, there's no point in becoming a father when there are so many fatherless kids everywhere. But tradition, society, and pure ego all try to force parenthood on you. Anyway, enough. I've done enough philosophizing for one night.👍
Are homophobes just closeted?
in Psychology ·
Some people just love to philosophize and act like they're some kind of deep thinkers. Personally, I find homophobes disgusting, but I'm not one myself—I just find them repulsive. To me, it’s sexually abnormal, just as much as writing with my feet or stepping on animals would be abnormal to me. I look at this through a religious lens, even though I despise organized religion; I believe God said only men and women have the right to a relationship. Doing it with men, with animals, or with relatives—that’s just revolting. And just because I’m a passive sports fan now, what does that mean? Does being a fan automatically make you stupid and primitive? Apparently so. These parades disgust me. Like that girl over there said, if we allow this, then anyone can hold a parade—from people who enjoy anal sex to those with shoe fetishes. It's nonsense. I’d want to crush them, both them and those pathetic people in uniforms who just follow orders and live off whatever the state forces upon the peasantry. We're all just peasants. Now everyone wants their "rights," wanting this or that; if you're different, fine, but why force it on everyone with these parades? I don't march in parades, whether I'm visiting my grandfather in the Midwest or just picking up a phone or milk at the grocery store. What gets me most is that they call this a "movement" or a "culture." Man, if that's the case, what culture are we, the straight people? Should we be having marches all the time just to show we love men and women, or to point out that these people are actually disturbed because they aren't like us? And they are disturbed; after all, peaches exist for a reason. And what would all these philosopher types do without these "disturbed" homophobes? Who would they create? Or would kids just start popping out of rectums today? I don't know, maybe I'm just narrow-minded, so someone explain it to me. Is this some new thing from the European Union? It's a joke, nothing else. But it's also sad that this actually walks the streets and exists.
