Dean's mean ranting machine

This is more of a generell rant against dating apps and what the world is coming to.

in the first 10 minutes I'm leaning a bit towards politics since the world itself in falling apart more and more.

However, I had to restart this recording because the last attempt endet up being 50 minutes long, all about depressing content... maybe not a good idea.

Stay tuned

Well wouldn't you know it...

After my vacation I decided to go online to maybe find someone nice to talk to.

And I did bump into somebody that went flirty really fast but crashed after a reality check.

And no, I'm not the one that crashed :-)

So there I am back again at my desk after returning from my vacation in Athens.

It was a blast for me to see my friends there and had a great time. This episode is all about that trip, the food, the landscape and some other things :D

If you haven't been there, get off your ass :D

Hello everyone.

I find it quite troubling, that we live in a world in witch some people claim hobbies aren't so important, or not having hobbiees doesn't matter too much.

It's the question as to how you regenerate yourself with distracting activities.

But I don't think that anyone should just look for pure distractions. And I think I might be able to explain why.

Cheers!

well well, I think we need a nigger trap.

Goes this movie tanked pretty bad so far. It's not completely terrible, it has pretty good ideas that were taken from the cartoons back in the day. But heck, the execution of this film is awfull.

Too many characters for sure, the movie doesn't seem to know which direction to go, nor what kind of mood to create. It has great ideas overall, but that potential is just wasted due to idiotic plot holes.

This could very well be the last Ghostbusters movie we will ever see...

No cheers this time from me...

Francisco Ibáñez was during my teenage years my absolute favorite artist in thr world. My favorite comic book artist, that is.

His gag-comic style was so profoundly exciting and provocative, brutal and insanely creative, that it knocked me off my feet when reading them for the first time. He was the main reason, why I started to see comic book art as a profession, instead of just a hobby.

(look who is talking, I ain't making no money xD)

I just learned that he sadly passed away last year, which broke my heart. the guy was just increadible and maybe you can find some joy in his work as well.

Cheers!

Eric Barone is the developer behind Stardew Valley. It took him 4 years to develop the game and a very tight cycle of dedicated work. Even managed to maintain a relationship with his long term girldfriend, to my surprise xD.

If you have never heard of this guy and his efforts, check him out and search for some good articles or even interviews online. His success is truly inspirational.

Cheers!

Since there is a new movie out on Netflix that deals with this soulmate idea, or finding love at the worst time in your life, I thought I might add some of my thoughts to this cliché.

Not much else to tell. shorter then usual :-)

Cheers!

I found another article that promotes self love and self approval in the wrong way. I won't post this article since I firmly believe there is nothing you could learn here.

This topic is a bit disturbing, since it fits nicely into the toxic positivity we find day in, day out in social media. "You are great". "the time is NOW, to be enough for yourself."

This type of nonsense is damaging to people who struggle with the real problems in their lives. Instead of learning something productive, they learn how to ignore it instead and keep lying to yourself.

I'll be ranting a bit about that, like I love to do :-)

Cheers!

The first part will be an update on my artworkt, including something that I have posted on instagram recently.

The rest is a rant about the ongoing debate in america: Is it better to be pro life or pro choice. I personally can't see a good argument for pro life in any way. In this day and age, I find it shameful that we still need to talk about this crap and why it is imprtant to let others make those choices, since it is their body and no one elses.

Germany had little to no problems with these things, since we pretty much managed it way better.

This topic however ties in very nicely in an article I have found a few days ago, about a woman who is sick and tired of the ignorance surrounding her and her "childless" life. Childfree is her statement to that and I have to say, with a lot of mature and meaningful reasoning behind her claim. I can resonate with her pretty well, because I have heard the same garbage for many years myself.

The link to the article is here:

Since it's German, you might want to use a translator for the page.

Well... hang in there guys, this year has just begun and we haven't blown ourselves up just yet.

I raise my scotch to you

Cheers!
