The Glorification of Disorders

The Glorification of Disorders

We are living in a world where disorders are being glorified. Not by those affected by them, but by those who apparently wish they were affected by them, because who is actually affected wouldn't want to be affected at all.

Join me this episode as I go through some points I felt were important to cover towards this ludicrous trend of the new modern era.

Upon watching a video compiling "scary ghosty things", there was one about a "Most Haunted Place" as per usual in these. Which made question, "what quantifies a haunted place?". So, here goes another rant to mark a return! Hope you enjoy.

Verdict on Surviving Life's "Ron Swanson" w/ Kap and Twinkie

Verdict on Surviving Life's "Ron Swanson" w/ Kap and Twinkie

Ever since "Ron Swanson" from Surviving Life came on the podcast, a lot has happened that does not bode well for him. Kap and Twinkie, who have been part of his team for quite a while and have had a lot of interaction with him and his community, joined me for some talk on what's been going on with his shenanigans. This episode covers internet cultism and abuse of vulnerable individuals, amongst other subjects.

Analyzing RANDONAUTICA

Analyzing RANDONAUTICA

This application has been in the mouth of the world via social media ever since it "helped" uncover the disposed evidence of a murderer. Human remains in Alki Point, Seattle were found by teenagers after Randonautica application sent them "randonauting" to where a black suitcase was found on the water. Curious, the teenagers opened it and were surprised by an overwhelming stench. Due to this, this application has been linked to being connected to many negative things going on in the world, however I doubt that and on this episode you can hear my thoughts upon watching a lot of content surrounding the app and using it myself.

Depression and Staying in the Hole

Depression and Staying in the Hole

A lot (or most) of the times I see depressed people surround themselves with depressive stuff instead of finding upbringing and joyful material, activities, art that would perhaps get them out of that state of mind. This episode is dedicated to that. If you go into a hole and you don't try to climb out of it you'll never get out. 

Also some updates on my own mental health and a few minutes of Overwatch talk.

Why Should I Continue Breathing?

Why Should I Continue Breathing?

As heavy as the title and content might be, I felt the need to do this episode for it's been months since the psychiatrist has been available due to covid and I've no one else to talk about to about how I truly feel.

Memory Holed Online - Written by AAGabriel

Memory Holed Online - Written by AAGabriel

This was meant to be an informational voice over for a video that ended up not being used so I decided to ask the person who wrote it for permission to post it as an episode because it is a really good writing and very fitting to the podcast. 

Please note that there are some strange pauses as I recorded this with the purpose of making it for a video so those pauses were meant to help the editing and because i'm lazy I didn't edit it further but kudos for honesty? Smile?

George Floyd : Will Justice Be Done Right?

George Floyd : Will Justice Be Done Right?

The one cop that is seen in the viral video with his knee on the neck of George Floyd isn't the only one responsible for his death, there are two others keeping him pinned down, kneeling on his back. All the involved should be prosecuted for being involved in this amateur, easily avoidable incident by someone who has swore to protect and serve.

The Church of Euthanasia Are A Bunch of P*ssies

The Church of Euthanasia Are A Bunch of P*ssies

For months i've tried to reach these individuals who have very doubtful motifs in an attempt to hear their word. To give them some air time without judgement. Yet all their contact methods are unavailable or disregarded. Makes one only assume one thing... Guess it's more than they can chew?

Every Paranormal Video is Bullsh*t!

Every Paranormal Video is Bullsh*t!

Upon watching over thousands of videos of paranormal content for more than 10 years, I think i'm more than qualified to say it's all a load of bullsh*t! Though there's a difference that makes paranormal content entertaining and those that do it for the ease of content creating due to how commonly people are attracted to the supernatural, and that... my friends, is unacceptable!

Priorities during COVID-19

Priorities during COVID-19

Things have gotten worse since the last episode and so I thought I'd try and give some insight and some words on things you should do to stay safe and improve yourself throughout this harsh time we are going through. Remember to stay at home and remain safe! This is not a joke, people are dying every day. #stayhome #staysafe

LIVE - Chatting and Music

Been a while since I went live and just rambled on about several topics so I decided to do so at 1 in the morning because, isn't that just a perfect time to go live and ramble about stuff?! Absolutely it is! There's several topics discussed, amongst them the current state of the world, the quarantine, a little bit about myself and dealing with anxiety to go out so I lived in my own "quarantine" for a few years, how to deal with it and all those good things. Take a listen, relax, enjoy.

War of the World

Viruses, media craze, instigated panic... Results in birdbrains lunacy across the globe. It isn't the first time, it won't be the last time. When will we learn? Probably never...

The Pinnacle of Being a Pathetic Loser ft. Onision

The Pinnacle of Being a Pathetic Loser ft. Onision

You know you're a pathetic loser when you negatively hold the eyes of the online world on yourself and yet, you call the cops on someone who's seen as a hero, for approaching you in an attempt of getting your side of the story. 

These are my thoughts on Onision being approached by Chris Hansen and the whole event that recently happened in his place.

Is Gaming Dangerous?!

Is Gaming Dangerous?!

Videogames have been around for a while and in the last 10 years, it's also been an industry with an exponential rise on a global scale. With multiplayer being one of the most replayed genres of gaming, having communication being an essential part of it for team work and socializing, is it completely safe? Or are there dangers that we should look out for?

Wisdom Sharing and Happy 2020

Wisdom Sharing and Happy 2020

Oh has it been quite a break without episodes. I've been a whole conglomerate of roller coasters put together, which has put me in and out of podcasting moods... Also giving me time to think and straighten my mind a little bit. So that's essentially what this episode reflects. Hopefully you'll like it! 

Wish you and yours a Happy New Year and that may all your dreams come true in 2020, as long as you're not being a douche like those I refer in many of my episodes. 

Thanks again to all of those who have been around through 2019, you know who you are and also know that I know who you are. You are the ones I keep podcasting for, despite my absolute lack of social skills. 

See you all next year.

Spiraling Depression

Spiraling Depression

We continue to touch and discuss the aspects of mental health, surely with good intentions. Yet, we're doing the worst that can possibly be done. It's like losing a dear one to the grim reaper and having someone next to us remind us every minute that our dear one is no longer with us. How would that make you feel? We avoid that, why can't we avoid the rest? Get out of the hole and get better! Contact me if you need to talk general@grindersverdict.com.

The Drunken Hour #1

Welcome to the Drunken Hour, number 1. A show I decided to bring back individually to my podcast. For context, The Drunken Hour used to be a show I did back in the radio I used to run where I'd get drunk and talk with a co-host and / or interview musicians. 

Because it was great, I decided to bring it back into my podcast... Enjoy it!

STOP Complaining

STOP Complaining

Essentially what the title says, stop complaining... Pretty much. People complain for everything and nothing. Result of me watching a livestream with someone playing Overwatch, which made me want to rant about how much people complain.

Also, October begins! Spooky episodes are about to come!

NOTE : This is coming out as a bonus episode as the 8 PM episode today but the main one will come later.

S2E22 - Entitlement and Gatekeeping Everywhere

S2E22 - Entitlement and Gatekeeping Everywhere

*STRONG LANGUAGE IS USED IN THIS EPISODE* This has been a problem for many years. People feel entitled because they live through monitors,  computers and pocket devices. Someone who only listens to music thinks they can legitimately criticize musicians as if they know music for years. Gamers who play something nowadays think they can tell other people how to play games... Gatekeeping and entitlement is literally everywhere and it is causing toxicity in every single community that involves entertainment. Join me in this episode to find out more!

S2E21 - The State of Roleplay

S2E21 - The State of Roleplay

As someone who grew up in a small town in a rural region of Portugal, technology didn't evolve as quickly so I rapidly develop ways of entertaining myself. Many time i'd watch those iconic TV shows and then play out what I saw and try to replicate the moves and whatnot in my entrance hall. In 2009 it was my first time messing with computerized roleplay. So given i've got some experience behind me, I decided to discuss my thoughts on the current state of Roleplay. If you're unaware of a recent boom that happened via livestreams on Twitch, a server called NoPixel had a lot of huge (10k+ viewership) streamers join in and roleplay on GTA V, which lead to a massive influx of people and a tremendous growth. But with popularity, comes mediocrity so give it a listen and find out what I think about this whole thing!

S2E15 - False Advertising and Hype

S2E15 - False Advertising and Hype

Big videogame companies are already doing this, however the ones we have to look out for the most are the small "studios". Those "studios" that have the ambition of 10 AAA titles without 90% of the resources. Don't throw money away, yes it's yours and you do whatever you want with it, but you are feeding something very negative! Curious? Listen to the episode!

S2E14 - Social Platforms Promote Sexual Content

Popular social media platforms are promoting sexual content in an unhealthy manner, due to its popularity amongst multiple demographics. Including children! And that's not good... Sex is a good thing in life, however when it becomes a product of marketing schemes it becomes something that's not as good as we think. Maybe I'm not explaining myself too well here, but... the episode has all you need to know!

S2E13 - Self - Reflection

S2E13 - Self - Reflection

This was meant to be a way of improving my talking capabilities so it was supposed to be a recording just for me or maybe to be released on Patreon. However I decided to share it as a regular episode because it might be helpful towards someone who might question their capabilities like  I do. I doubt myself 90% of the time and I also procrastinate too much due to me doubting myself and again, my capabilities. I believe that with practice comes perfect so doing something like this is incredibly helpful to build confidence.
