… like it’s completely disorienting in his westerns
Context is I just got recommended a clip from Django, great scene … but the “niggas” throw it off … because it feels like a white man wrote a scene on how Black men would talk … and I feel s if us calling ourselves “nigga” really has been a flash and in the pan and niche (on the grand scale of space and time)
For outward facing culture it was like 10 years of niggas … let’s say 92 to 2002 … mainly centered around rap … and even throughout it’s always had in culture backlash
But it gave white people permission to use it … and so it’s like the most culturally relevant thing

I couldn't justify paying more per month for the upgrades. Basically what I could afford was missing some things I wanted and I don't want to stretch myself with this economy.
I think I'm back to "wait for an EV" mode and more about practical than "cool". I'll probably look again in 2023 and see how the entry level EVs are.
I did go ahead and buy some furniture though. Gonna play some racing games on my switch and call it a win lol

working from home is cool but I like interacting with people face to face.
and I need to get my money right. Time to find an accountant and get on a strict budget. We should be stacking more.
