To Pokimane, pt 17

This is definitely one of those times when I think it's crazy to think that you read these or care what I say.

I should make it clear that the viewer I was using for TikTok was delayed, with posts sometimes not showing up for several hours. I'm using a second one now, which might be delayed as well. So, I am responding to the TikTok post that introduced your neighbor. If you have posted anything else in the past few hours, I'm unaware of it.

What would it take for me to have a good opinion of someone I met? I basically don't think it's possible unless it was someone who was as smart as me, who had the same mindset (or at least what I believe to be my mindset): a willingness to solve problems. With most people, I simply have nothing to discuss because I am poor, I might die due to being poor, and I find it completely reasonable to say at this point that most people are just wasting time. This includes almost all of my siblings. My oldest brother might have an excuse due to being in prison. I honestly sort of want to give my two oldest siblings the "evil instead of stupid" pass.

I'm not talking to any of my existing friends because I am poor. It would be an insult to my existing friends for me to try to become friends with anyone else who would not have the goal of trying to solve the problem that makes me poor.

And, as I said, some random person that I meet is not likely to try to do that unless they are very smart, with the personality type of having difficulty avoiding challenges.

In the video you posted, your neighbor is cooking a fish. I don't really have an opinion on killing animals (like the male chicks that are thrown alive into grinders), but for fishing, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collapse_of_the_Atlantic_northwest_cod_fishery on a global scale. I'm pretty sure that the world is experiencing overfishing, with fishing stocks being depleted below the level that would allow for the maximum number of fish to be eaten without reducing fish populations.

So, yes, cooking a fish does look good for social media. But if everyone ate fish, there would be no more fish. (Also, how much is the fish?)
