for the past two years i’ve been fortunate enough to have my parents support me, but i haven’t been going to school during this time either, i really haven’t done anything in that time that i could put down on my resume, so yeah i may just have to lie and say that i’ve been attending school.
i don’t, unfortunately :(
I think a large part, as others have said, is to collect physical media, but another large reason could be because people want to support the artists they listen to by actually buying their music. Streaming services are the most popular way to listen to music now and they are so fucking awful when it comes to compensating artists that most of them cannot even come close to relying on them for a stable income, even when you take in to consideration streaming on multiple platforms. So doing things like buying a record or a CD or even just buying an album digitally on a site like bandcamp does a lot more for the artists that you enjoy because they receive a much larger fraction of that money. Also, doing things like buying merch and going to shows are other good ways of supporting the artists you love!
the kirkhammer from Bloodborne is one of my favorites! pretty much all of the weapons in Bloodborne are all-around fantastic but the kirkhammer specifically is the one I had the most fun with and I love it’s design
Not mentioned within the photo posted by OP is the fact that the protesters were disrupting a National Vietnam War Veterans Day commemoration, an event for honoring the “bravery” and “sacrifice” of the US soldiers who are responsible for causing an overwhelming amount of pain, suffering and death in Vietnam. It’s honestly just so fucking crazy that right before the departure of a US naval ship to go support a genocide, they’re celebrating the so called heroes of one of the most disgusting wars perpetrated by the United States in the 20th century.

I have had a good experience buying second hand online from https://www.betterworldbooks.com/ and https://www.thriftbooks.com/, they’re both good when it comes to looking for used leftist theory books. Other than that I typically just check out my local bookstores or libraries to see if they have any used copies of something that I’m looking for, it can be really hit or miss though.
I’ve worked mostly in the restaurant/service industry, so i’m most likely going to apply for jobs in that field, but I’d really like to try something else because the amount of socializing I have to do is dreadful for me
