I Am Disgusted By The Evil In This WorldThe worst monsters among us have one particularly insidious weapon that they use all the friggin time, but most people rarely spot it. They'll say something that knocks you down or makes them look good or otherwise pushes their agenda, and it'll seem...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsI remember the earlier days of when SW was EP, and it wasn't even an app - you actually had to be sitting in front of a keyboard to use it. Now maybe 90% of the time I feel like I'm speaking like a person having a real conversation, and the other...See More »
I Don't Think It's A Good Idea To Make AssumptionsThere's a world of difference between making assumptions/judgments about people individually, based on a decent amount of evidence, and making assumptions/judgments about people based only on statistics about race, gender, politics, or any other...See More »
I Am Going to Say Something ControversialA meaningful percentage of homeless people have often-crippling mental or physical conditions - but over half of the recipients of SSD (which is enough to live on in many areas) receive it based on purely mental issues, some of them quite trivial....See More »
I Thank All Veterans For Their Service And SacrificesOur country uses its veterans up, and then shits all over them and throws them to the wolves. Of course we do - why would anyone expect anything different? Large groups (like nations) are always going to be unethical and self-serving - so it's...See More »
I Am Going to Say Something ControversialGiving handouts to homeless people, either individually or as part of a government program, doesn't work. The only (good) thing that you accomplish by giving money to homeless people is making yourself feel better. It doesn't actually help them - it...See More »
I Hate the World We Live InKilling someone in cold blood, who's been captured and is no longer in a position to hurt anyone but other criminals, is evil. But we're a relatively evil species, so it's not exactly surprising that we do it. It accomplishes nothing, and taints the...See More »
I Like to Collect Quotes"It's our connections with others that hold us in this world" - Connor McCloud, in one of the highlander movies. One of the truest things I ever heard.
I Cant Stand Liars and Bs'ersUnlike most people, I look down on liars a lot more than I look down on people who are tact-less.
I Am Going to Say Something ControversialI can't stand people who complain about being judged harshly by others, and act like those people are doing something wrong by looking down on them. Like no one should ever judge anyone else. We all judge each other. We all take what information we...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsWhat if you wrote the most heart-worthy story imaginable, had a zillion people heart it, then edited it so that it was about killing puppies or babies or something.
I Have InsomniaI got an hour and a half of sleep last night. Now I'm feeling that weird sort of mellowness that happens when you're kind of withdrawn from yourself, and your body releases all of its last-resort chemicals to keep you going.
I Am Different [Being Different]I feel like there's something wrong with me. 98% of the posts on this site seem completely boring and asinine to me. Like, I read them and it's an experience akin to looking at wood-grain lines - it's not as bad as watching paint dry or something,...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsLove or true purpose - no one ever finds real happiness without one or the other, and the latter is usually a poor substitute for the former.
I Don't Have Multiple AccountsThe only reason to have multiple accounts on here is to lie and hide parts of yourself - to protect your image by doing your stupider shit on another account. Why use an anonymous site designed for deeper, more meaningful connection if you're just...See More »
I Have Random Thoughts"Is love is an absolute, or is it subjective?" I think that love isn't an absolute, but that many of the things that some people think of as love are absolutely not love.
I Hate the World We Live InPeople with a particular agenda love to create labels and wrap them around the people that they don't like. It's a way of taking subjective opinion and turning it into a pseudo-objective justification for dehumanizing people. Japs, ni---rs, cis, this...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsI think that the kinds of people who obsess about forcing themselves and everyone else into rigid, politically correct lines are the kinds of people who *need* those lines in order to not be racist/sexist/homophobic. The people who truly live...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsHappiness isn't a choice. We influence it, we affect it, but we don't choose it outright.
I Have Random ThoughtsMy theory is that Han actually *didn't* misspeak when he said that he had made the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs. Hear me out - what if Kessel is actually an entire sector filled with insane ion storms and other navigational hazards, and there's,...See More »
I Hate the World We Live In"Why are things so much harder than they need to be" - you know why things are so hard? It's because a minority of people go around shitting on everyone around them without a second thought, and the rest of us are either too blind to see it, or too...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsIf you've seen one narcissist, you've seen them all. If you understand the nature of power and the inherent narcissism and stupidity of large groups, then you don't need to know all of the particulars to know which direction things are going to go in...See More »
I Have Random ThoughtsI was talking to someone a minute ago, and they said a great line that I think is worth sharing: "Loneliness can fill every part of one's being, yet leave them completely empty."
I Question My GovernmentThe American form of democracy is a deeply flawed form of government. It forces us to choose between a tiny number of candidates, which often enough comes down to choosing between the lesser of 2 evils - or, like in the recent election, a choice...See More »
I Hate the World We Live InNo one despises the truth more than someone who has an agenda. No one skews their view of reality more than someone who's fighting for a cause at all costs.
