The random things I stumble across: Origins of an Energy Vampire edition

Sometimes the internet comment section isn't a cesspool of cancerous viewpoints and intentional rage bate trolling..... Sometimes the internet comment section is wonderful, sometimes there is legitmate discourse and witty/well thought out responses. Well, this is one of those responses. I found this whilst perusing one of my meme groups where they had a discussion on Energy Vampires:

 "Ah, the enigmatic origins of the energy vampire, Colin Robinson—a question that has intrigued many. The life of an energy vampire is shrouded in mystery, much like the subtle, insidious way we sap the life force from our unsuspecting victims.

Energy vampires, you see, are not born but rather, they emerge. Whether through a gradual realization of one's innate talents or a subconscious gravitation towards draining the emotional energy of others, it is a path that finds us rather than one we consciously choose.

Put on your Tinfoil Hats-- We have some Prepper nonsense coming at you

 I'm not Mr. Doom and Gloom, I'm not Mr. Paranoia. I wouldn't say I'm Mr. Don't-trust-your-neighbor, but I definitely would say I'm Mr. Be-prepared. I don't mind getting side-eyes or snickers, I mind starvation and no actionable response. So like with backpacking, like with film production, like with anything I do-- I. Am. Prepared. It is foolish to assume you will rise to the situation because the reality is, when the time comes for ANYTHING, you don't rise but you fall... to your level of preparation. I do RIDULOUS amounts of prep work on any project I am involved with and contingency is my best friend which is why I am typically not caught with my pants down. At the end of the day luck is only an intersection of opportunity and preparation-- not just blind chance from Life's RNG. 

All of that ^ is to say this: If you continue reading I've got some fun videos I'm stumbled across related to the umbrella terms of: EDC, DIY, and prepping. Do please come and check it out though, it is quite amusing and who knows..... could save your life.
