you don’t hate people. you hate the concept of your finite time being “wasted” as a result of someone else’s actions. someone takes too long at the checkout. someone’s too slow crossing the street. someone doesn’t go when the light turns green.
the forest you’re missing in this case is that is the definition of your time being wasted as a result of someone else’s direct actions is: employment.
and what makes it worse is that not only is your time - your precious time that you cannot spare even a minute of for the sake of your fellow humans comfort - being stolen in the literal sense by the number of hours you commit to work, but also at a much larger scale. the stress of your employment or, maybe better yet, the stress of simply being employed can take years off of your life. even if you’re working a white collar job, the impact on your mental health can be devastating.
this is why there is so much value in being able to pursue your passions and what you love and being afforded the opportunity to do so. this is why it’s better to embrace the people around you and ask them what they love so they can feel inspired to chase that feeling. and you should feel empowered to do the same thing.

The fastest way another adult can lose all my respect for them is by proudly calling themselves “strict”. Like oh wow, you don’t allow your kids or your dogs to have any enjoyment in life, and they respect you for that? No they fucking don’t. You’ve just taught them to look you in the eyes and lie. They’ve simply learned how to say and pretend to feel whatever they know will get you off their ass. Yes, even the dogs. They’ve specifically developed the cognitive skills required for lying just to handle you. Anyone who imagines that they’re ruling their surroundings with an iron grip is just telling on themselves - they’re living in an illusion of control, a padded cell of their own construction.
Anyone who calls themselves strict and makes it their whole personality is a fucking clown I have no respect for. Unless it’s a consenting adult sex thing you’ve got going on. Then all the respect for you. Hpe that whoever you’re in charge of is trembling in their boots. But only after you give them permission.

baseball different than I remember
For the record, the team in yellow is a sort of “performance” team, similar to how the Harlem Globetrotters played. Their entire shtick is doing goofy stuff like this, and it’s hilarious.
The team comes out of Georgia, and they’re called
The Savanah Bananas

parents are so crazy because they can say the most fucked up shit to you when your brain is forming and it sets the tone for your whole adult mind set and then they forget about it the next day

when it comes to transition advice “if you cant grow your own then store bought is fine” has never led me wrong
“authenticity” doesnt matter just go for your own comfort. wear a wig, get breast forms or even get yourself implants instead of growing them in. there is no best or right way to be trans so get what you want by whatever means

You do not need to be perfect, and to expect perfection from yourself is to set yourself up for failure. Set reasonable goals and celebrate when you meet them! Celebrate small wins! And don’t beat yourself up for mistakes, mistakes are normal and okay.
“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn’t understand his Spanish. Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, “Why did you do that?”
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.”
The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?“ Ivan replied, "I didn’t let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”
Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal? What would my Mom think of that?” Values are transmitted from generation to generation. What values are we teaching our children? Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”

So, here are just a few the things that have happened this week so far
- Orcas are attacking yachts off the coast of Spain.
- Approximately 600 refugees drown in a maritime disaster off the coast of the Greece. Coast Guard observes the carnage without intervening.
- Billionaires undergo journey to the Titanic in DIY death trap built in the backyard of a guy who reads Ayn Rand unironically. Everyone on board dies when the “submersible” suffers a catastrophic implosion.
- The UPS Teamsters Union has voted to go on strike, demanding, among other things, AC in their trucks. Something I’m sure you thought they already had. Because why don’t they? UPS is one of the largest private postage companies in the United States, and if the strike proceeds long enough, it will undoubtedly be broken up by the Biden Administration, much like the potential railway strike last December.
- The trial date of former US President Donald Trump is set for August. This is the trial for the nuclear docs he was storing in his shower in Florida, not the shady business practices he held in New York or the election fraud he is currently being investigated for in Georgia.
- Hunter Biden, son of current US President Joe Biden, has plead guilty to tax crimes and the illegal possession of a firearm. Opponents of the administration are displeased because Hunter was not charged with what they feel is his most serious offense, being Joe Biden’s son.
- Violence has once again broken in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, as Israeli settlers and the IDF continue to encroach and commit atrocities further and further into Palestinian territory.
- SCOTUS delivers a highly unexpected ruling on how the Biden Administration has handled immigration, allowing it to proceed with its current plans. This is one in a serious of surprisingly progressive decisions by the court. Given the far right leanings of the court, many suspect this is simply SCOTUS setting up to cushion the blow of their inevitable strike down of a student loan forgiveness program. A decision that will likely be just as unpopular as the strike down of Roe v Wade, given the millions of US citizens relying on said debt forgiveness.
- Speaking of which, this week is the one year anniversary of SCOTUS striking down the court’s previous decision on Roe v Wade, robbing women across the US to the right to an abortion.
- Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk set up a cage fight.
- A massive gas explosion rocks central Paris, injuring dozens of people.
- Logitech suffers an immense blow to its stock prices as a result of their involvement in the Titan Comedy. Conversely, independent video game Iron Lung sees its downloads shoot through the roof.
- The Wagner Group, a Russian PCM with numerous neo-nazi affiliations, launches and then abandons a coup against Russian High Command in a period of less than 36 hours.
Can someone PLEASE explain to me just what the fuck is going on here?
