Is it just me or is anybody else reluctant to actually like this band?

If I found them organically I'd be 100% on board but it's just through sponsored ads I've seen them. This is now the 3rd song that's getting advertised to me and yeah, I think its funky and the energy is great but the sponsorship has me so dubious. Wheres the money coming from and what's the agenda? usually a band doesn't have that capital starting out and whoever is funding it is paying A LOT to push it to the point is there even a monetary return. I learn today they are Israeli and however I'm not going to immediately colour somebody strictly because of that fact alone, I think that compounded with the rest of the scenario and lack of other information just makes me want to keep distance. Am I the only one?

I made it a year

I smoked basically daily since I was 12 to 29. Definitely some form of self medication going on that I hadn't entirely realised. I realise now and I'll be honest, I dont feel any crazy benefits, except my mind is a little less foggy and I procrastinate less, all in all I think the benefits outweighed the downfalls for me but for now I keep going and maybe do therapy and get a diagnosis. I still miss it everyday and yearn for the right moment to once again imbibe. This is for the folks who are die hard and cant take a break, you can. It sucks, but you can.

AI is going to be U.S.A.s version and equivalent of Chernobyl for U.S.S.R.

Could not find where to post this and I figure since nobody talks about nihilism here anyway I'd just lock in this prediction. The way US economy has been practically dumped into AI much like soviet economy into nuclear and ever increasing demands on a shoddy system causes incorrect usage of assets til something breaks. Server outages happening more and more due to replacing people with AI to run code. Eventually AI is going to accidentally black out the internet and that will be the beginning of the end for America. Locked it in, no take backsies.

I was with my old and dying babushka when the news broke. She was peacefully asleep in her final days, most nights I'd stay by her side as company, I dont know if she was aware but just in case. They were long nights and I'd try to entertain myself. I was on this day looking forward to the new update in my favorite game Arc Raiders. I decide to check out the patch notes....

I burst into an uncontrollable fit of rage, limbs flailing about I could not control it, I began crying so hard my tears actually started to smell like piss and all of a sudden black. Darkness. When I awoke I couldn't believe what I had done. My peacefully sleeping babushka caught one of my stray weak ass punches but in her chronically frail state it actually managed to cause a mild bruise. Unfortunately this caused a clot and my babushka passed away from a heart attack.

So now instead of playing my favorite game Arc Raiders I am making funeral arrangements for my beloved. Not only did embark Nerf everything into shit, they also nerfed my family...
