    No it doesn’t. Didn’t for me. I lived in a twenty year old Ford explorer for almost a year pursuing mine. Didn’t succeed or make it big, but I wouldn’t have traded it for the world. Not every dream relies on college loans, dude. Not if you’re an artist.

    I’d go so far as to say man, many dreams people have don’t require a degree.

    And if they do? DO IT ANYWAY. I attended two years of college for film. Never got a career out of it. Still paying off my debt. Still don’t regret ANY of it.

    Still getting by on the strings of my butt hairs in my 40s. Still wouldn’t take any of it back.

    Never sucked the love for either dream out of it. Did I get depressed? Sure. Did I go through a lot of shit and a lot of disappointment? Definitely. I’m two years out from failing in my latest attempt at pursuing one of my many dreams. You couldn’t pay me all the money in the world to take it back.

    You’re speaking to me… about me. About my experiences and telling me how it made me feel. Sorry my dude, I can’t agree with you.

    Take those chances. The memories are worth it. The stories are worth it. The lessons you learn along the way are definitely worth it, homie

    No, he doesn’t. He doesn’t care about the damn status quo.

    He wants to feel important and he wants an easy life. That’s it. He has no political or social motivations beyond

    “I don’t wanna remember a thing, and I want to be someone important… like an actor.”

    Cypher is the worst kind of asshole: One who doesn’t care about a damn thing besides his own personal gain.

    Things weren’t just as polarized. You are intentionally leaving out a HUGE culture shift in the people between The Matrix and the Dixie Chicks being canceled. And if you didn’t understand that the world WAS different, even though there was just a few years apart, then you are DEFINITELY a child lying about their age.

    No one who was alive for both those incidents think they occurred in the same vein of history.

    Dixie chicks were post 9/11, if you’re going to leave out that VERY important detail when talking about the times, then you don’t understand how that day was basically the beginning of the shitstorm we have today.

    Matrix was before all that. And yes… things can seriously change within just a couple years.

    Sounds like every republican and Democrat.

    There are no political statements in the matrix. It’s a movie about being trans.

    When the movie was made, it was both people on the right and left who were shitty to the queer community. Trust me.

    Things weren’t as polarized as they were today. I remember. I was 15 when I saw it in theaters.

    But okay, I guess it’s a big movie bashing the right, instead of society as a whole.
