Jesus Christ People

Dreamwidth's front page is awash with people posting every single log of every single roleplay they ever did ever and it's mostly two people just posting constantly.
No one cares. Knock it off.
This one person just signed up today and they already have 20 posts.
Stop.
But luckily amid all the garbo I found this jackoff.
Look at this motherfucker's avatar. Have you ever seen such a fedora tipper in your entire goddamn life?

I was very depressed this morning, and am less so now.

I essentially gave myself permission to do whatever I wanted today, as long as I was doing something, so naturally I defaulted to coding on LiSE. I've nearly got the map editor working again.

How long until there's a post about My Little Pony or atheism?

I'm not feeling well lately. I doubt I have any very compelling reason for feeling this way. The stresses I am reacting to are ordinary, and I know how to deal with them generally. I need to refine my approach a bit, and I'm having trouble with that, because I'm not feeling well, and planning for the future is difficult.

"He felt the hate engine stab rage into the meat of his mind."
-- Aaron Denski-Bowden, Betrayer, 2013.
Seriously one of the best Warhammer books ever written. Listen to the audio drama Butcher's Nails then read Betrayer for some shit, man.

It may be difficult because I haven't examined the present closely enough. To examine the present I need to examine my feelings, since they are rather directly relevant to my plans.

I was going to quote something but I forget what it was and I ended up listening to The Geto Boys for some reason.
I think it was related?
Can you imagine if blogs were as well written as Mind Playing Tricks on Me?
This blog wouldn't exist.

Any amount of self-reflection upon my emotional problems is going to sound very similar to self-pity. Maybe it is self-pity. I'm not sure. Is it always called "pity" when you try to empathize with sorrow, your own or someone else's, and want to make it better? Is that condescending? Regardless, this is what I need to do. It will probably sound bad, even to myself. So I shouldn't dwell on it any longer than useful, and I shouldn't try to share it with people who aren't already interested in it.

What the fuck are you talking about you nut?

I'm feeling disappointed in myself. Not for any particular failure. There are a few that I can point to, but they're either recoverable, or they're old news. It's stupid to be disappointed that I didn't put enough effort into high school, or I shut myself off from my would-be friends. I don't even remember those experiences very well.

I forget who said it but someone wise said he never trusted a man that has never felt disappointment and failure.
Who knows how you'll act when you inevitably face failure if you've never felt it before?
Best feel it early so you don't feel it when it really matters.
And then fail that.

I lack motivation.

To get motivation, I need to form an emotional association between what I want and what I need to get it.

There is no greater or purer emotional assistance in aiding motivation than anger.
Studies have even demonstrated you make your best decisions while mad.
Contrary to most conventional wisdom.
Except, of course, the sanguine wisdom of the true wise men.

To form an emotional association, I need to go about doing one thing in a way that evokes the emotions of another thing. To form an association with something I want, I need to find bits of what I want that evoke an immediate, visceral emotional reaction, and insinuate them into whatever I need to do.

I am not in the habit of finding the visceral bits of things. I'll need to practice.

To viscerate something is to find the visceral bits of it.

To enviscerate something is to insinuate those visceral bits into it.

And to feel like you need to eviscerate something just read this tripe.

I am a nihilist by disposition.
I do not subscribe to any of the various belief systems called "nihilism," unless you're one of those people who think that moral relativism is strictly equivalent to moral nihilism. However, I dislike belief, and try to avoid believing in things whenever it's reasonably practical. I rejected theism just about as soon as I understood it, 

BOOOM
ATHEISM POST
I'm counting it
fuck you
a thousand points to me
I am the greatest

rejected the notion of American exceptionalism (past or present) once I understood it had to do with identity politics, and rejected most notions of group identity in general when I learned how easy it is to identify as anything you damned well please.

I think I was thirteen when I did that. I was trying to reject the relevance of mathematics, too, but that didn't stick.

I rejected the relevance of mathematics in my life when I was like 10 and haven't looked back.
Have I mentioned how well my fake stock portfolio is doing?

Why not just describe myself as a skeptic? Well, I guess I could say that, but skepticism to my mind implies a degree of curiosity and inquisitiveness that I only demonstrate on occasion. My urge to disbelieve is more like a reflex. I rarely think about it, and I don't remember a time when I didn't have it.
I have a theory about how I might have learned this habit.

>I reject belief
>here's what I believe about what I think
hurrrrr

Today wasn't terrible.

Can't ask for more than that I find.
That's what I do when I look for jobs on the substitute teacher system. "Well that probably won't be terrible or get me killed or fired."

I have power issues.
That's nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has those. It's like saying I have "health issues". It's trivially true, because "power," like "health," is an exceedingly broad category.

Me too.
My power issue is I'm not caesar.

Power is a confusing concept. Most of the time, when we say a person is powerful, we're not really referring to the number of joules or amperes they can put out. We're referring to who obeys their orders and under what conditions. So "power" in the common use is intrinsically conditional.

There's soft power and there's hard power. Soft power people feel obligated to do what you say based on some sort of fallout for not doing what you say or whatever. Hard power people want to do what you say because they're compelled either through mutual interest or admiration or whatever.
Machiavelli makes this all very clear in his definitive guide to the subject.
As Machiavelli teaches and is so often mangled by idiots misinterpreting his wisdom it is better to be feared than loved if you can't be both but he never goes so far as to say being feared is preferable to the point of exclusion.

Even if you're commanding an army, your power is contingent on the cooperation of everyone in your chain of command. Getting that chain of command to the point where it's reliable enough that the people giving the orders can be meaningfully said to have power is a very difficult problem that takes up a fair portion of the national budget.

Wow your understanding of power politics, government and military spending is breathtaking.
Clearly, clearly the US government spends a lot of its budget ensuring the loyalty of the troops.
That's why troops make so much money, obviously.
Not, you know, the fact that guys are firing rockets that cost more than they'll make in a year at people who won't make that much money in their lifetime. 

As an aspie, I have to think harder than most people in order to accomplish basic tasks like talking, eating, and getting out the door.

Are you genuinely autistic or are you just an antisocial, lazy cretin using that as a screen?
If you're genuinely autistic then no harm but if you're just saying that then you're a fucking asshole.
Like what, I'm just sitting here having the time socializing, eating and getting out the door?
Life is a fucking wide awake nightmare and no one has an easy time doing fucking anything. We just pretend we do because if we don't then that's when motherfuckers get shot.

Because I am accustomed to thinking about every action, I often fall for the delusion that thought is action. 

I do that a lot. "Did I do that or did I think about doing that?"
Most of the time I don't remember.

I think I've worked out what my issue with "pride" is.

It's rare for a person expressing pride to say exactly what they are proud of doing.  

Oh let me break this shit right the fuck down for you before you launch into a 3 page treatise of pretentious garbage on the subject.
Pride.
I am proud I lived.
I am proud I died.
Simple as that, dipshit. It's a trait you either have or you don't.
The old Pagan cultures engender a healthy sense of pride in its men in particular believing that's what caused people to aspire to greatness.
And I think few can argue with the glories of Rome or the Han.
Christianity was quick to quash that idea and instead opted for meekness and submission.
Dark ages ahoy!

Usually they point at the result of their efforts instead: "I'm proud of you, son" vs. "I'm proud of the way I raised you, son". The intended meaning is the same. The former phrasing means something different by the pronoun "you" than usual: instead of referring directly to the person the speaker is talking to, as they stand right here and now, it refers to some experiences that the speaker had with them.

Usually when someone says "I'm proud of you" it's more of an empathetic thing or perhaps a notion of being proud to know the person.
Because, you know, usually we're judged by the company we keep because we tend to surround ourselves with people who are at least similar to us in some regard so if someone does something you're proud of you likely possess a characteristic at least broadly similar to them.
Also pride is a pretty serious thing. It's easy to not have pride.
Having pride suddenly makes you intolerant of a lot of shit you'd otherwise be fine with.

To use my empathy to its best effect, I need to turn it up and down at will. Perhaps I already have this ability. I seem to be pretty good at turning my emotions off; my new task is to turn off particular emotions when and where they cause trouble.

For example. My calc teacher will be disappointed to see how far behind I am on the homework. But it's still his job to help me, so I should ask, and when (if) he makes his displeasure apparent, I should acknowledge that, and not care.

You're in college, dipshit. His job is to lecture and your job is to figure it out on your own.
He can help you and probably will if you're a nice guy but no, his job is not to help just you when you need it, plebeian. 
See that's what I mean about pride. If I were a college professor and you said that to me that'd be my reaction.
I didn't get a fucking PhD in mathematics to babysit spoiled bitches like you.

Starting today, I am going to award myself experience points for every moderately difficult task I complete. Ten points is standard;

If only life worked that way.
I'm serious.

I am a coward.

“It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half of the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.”
-Herodotus
I love these essays on bullshit that can be answered with one sentence by me or someone else.

Years spent actively pursuing indifference have left me with a general tendency toward indifference. This is causing problems.

Wow what do you fucking know
If you think something over and over it becomes your thoughts
Beat your thoughts to the mold of your will.
Fuuuck.
Anyway work tomorrow and shit so time for the SONG OF THE NOOOOW.

Unrelenting tedium

This blog is so boring.
I don't understand how people can say shit like "we're all special and unique" when it feels like I've been reading the same person's blog for years.
Did you guys ever see that movie Hero where the bureaucrats would talk to the emperor as a sort of non-singing Greek chorus?
It was a group of dudes and they all said the same thing in unison.
That's how reading blogs feel. A bunch of cunts independently whining about the same shit on the same cord.
It'd be uncanny if it didn't piss me off so fucking much.
Long, rambling introduction about all her mental illnesses and shit--

Last night was not great; I was just all kinds of anxious and went to bed early. Didn't sleep all that well, and I've been on the verge of a panic attack for the last, um, four hours. The lorazepam isn't really doing anything, either; I resorted to Seroquel, which has made me less ready to climb out of my skin but there's still this tangled ball of anxiety in my stomach I don't know how to deal with.

I have to call my psych tomorrow and tell him that the lorazepam isn't working very well and what do I do now? Although I may wait a bit, because some of this is probably very explicable:

 Yeah get used to this.
"I felt a little nervous about white wahm shit so I took diazepam which I somehow have a prescription for."

2. My annual performance review is tomorrow. I think that's enough said on the subject, yes? I mean, I'm not in danger of losing my job, so that's something, but I'd like a bonus and a raise and, most importantly, a sense of where I stand in relation to my peers and what I need to do better. *tears hair out*

>I don't think I'm in danger of losing my job and I have no idea how I actually stand with this company
>raise and bonus plz

I like this new pain clinic. I ran late in getting there and didn't have my paperwork filled out because I forgot to print it while at work and our home printer isn't set up yet (note: we need to do that) but I got it done and saw Dr. Z. We talked a bit about things I've tried and such, and he gave me some options.

1. He doesn't want to give me narcotics for various reasons, which I can live with because he is willing to give me Fioricet (no more than every other day though, cause that shit be addictive).

Yes wouldn't want you addicted to pills or anything.
Because you clearly are.

Also, we're going to try something I've never heard of with any previous doctor, which are nerve blocks for the occipital and supra orbital nerves. One is in the back of my head, one is right above my eyes. I asked if this would interfere with Botox and was told no, so that's good, and I'm having the procedures done this Thursday. 

>I need pain pills at least partially for pain in my face
>I have Botulism injected into my face, paralyzing part of my face
GEE I WONDER. 
Holy shit.
She just posted this:

( cut for details no one probably cares about but in case you do )

What the fuck do you think is underneath that cut?
If that's where it gets boring?
Wow she wasn't fucking kidding.
Moaning about her work schedule.

Very short note as I'm stoned on narcotics and still dopey from anesthesia, but everything went fine, the headache I've had for the last two months is GONE, although my head is sore from where they actually operated. 

See what I mean when I say she's always on pills?
BUT YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO GET ADDICTED.
Ok trying to find an update not about her health--

So I got down to Renton today to see Strahd and Chevy's absolutely perfectly beautiful baby girl, and I spent most of my afternoon holding her--I did give her back, I did I did--and it was a really lovely afternoon. I'm hoping to get back down there Wednesday or Thursday for more baby time, but that will involve finding out what time my quarterly dose of poison is due to be injected on Thursday. (Botox, not arsenic.)

Err--
have I done this blog before?
WELP.
Also can we briefly go over how fucking awesome I am?
Date she posted that garbo: June 17th
my update: June 17th
the second I was retreading I recognized it.
Yeah I remember generic cunt #5978 from generic cunt #5979 no big deal.
I keep an entire encyclopedia of every blog I've ever reviewed in my brain.
You'd think I'd remember this one but I recognized it when I got to the part I had read.
Fuck.

The Dick

Girl gamer here.
She likes hobbies and movies traditionally associated with men but she also likes girly things like sewing and fanfiction and internet feminism--
IS THIS TODAY'S BLOG OR EVERY SINGLE WOMAN ON THE INTERNET EVER?
I've turned off every single distraction there is to keep me from updating this shit.
No EVE, no Final Fantasy, no other reading--
just me, some background music and oblivion.

So, Kate Alexander, you just had to let readers know that the heroine of your WWII novel Friends and Enemies (1982) is pretty by having her older brother think on page 3 that if she weren't his sister, he'd find her superhot, and then having him go on to list her charms in his mind, which include "all the right curves." This makes the brother feel "uneasy." Yeah. That makes me feel uneasy, too! Even more so because the heroine is only seventeen.

>Reading books written by women
harr not today.

Apparently that was not gross enough, since on page 4, when her future love interest Gunther showed up, you had the brother think that she looked "good enough to eat." And it was just great when you compounded this literary crime by immediately headhopping into Gunther's POV in the middle of the scene, so we know that Gunther thinks she looks good enough to eat, too.

What the actual fuck? This is some V. C. Andrews–grade creepitude, except in a novel that I'm pretty damn sure isn't about incest. Did no one at any point in the publishing process feel any hint of uneasiness about this shit?

Right now I'm longing for the war to start and hoping that the creepy older brother dies before I have to read any more of his musings on the attractions of his little sister. I'm guessing that's not what you were going for.

Strong independent womyn

I've read books involving actual incest. What's your fucking problem?

Grow a set, Christ.

IF YOU'RE LINKING TO HUGE SPOILERS, HOW ABOUT NOT INCLUDING THE ACTUAL HUGE SPOILER IN THE LINK TEXT?

(SEE HOW I'M NOT HINTING AT WHAT THE SPOILER IS? OKAY I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO HINT AT THE FANDOM. YOU'LL KNOW SOON ENOUGH, BELIEVE ME.)

I've been replaying Final Fantasy 7 because it was released on Steam recently and holy Christ are people whining bitches about spoilers.

UMMM SPOILERS PLEASE I DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW AERIS DIED AT THE END OF DISC 1.

How about the game is 16 years old and you have to live with the fact you're joining in at a late date?

SPOILERS PLEASE I DIDN'T KNOW GARLAND WAS ACTUALLY CHAOS AT THE END OF FINAL FANTASY 1.

26 YEAR OLD GAME ACCOMMODATE MY NEEDS.

The game is older than I am and I beat it. Get with the program, pleb.

I keep writing posts and then deleting them because I'm afraid they're too dreary and negative. (It's been a hell of a week.)

Har worrying about being negative

Imagine if I never posted a negative entry?

I'd have one entry.

That time I was sarcastically pleasant the entire time.

So, you're watching Vikings, right?

Not even if you paid me.

If not, here is the main reason you should:

Picture of a really bitchy looking white wahm.

I can think of no reason I'd rather watch a show.

This is Lagertha. She knows her way around sword and shield — and the loom, too.

I do not advise messing with this woman. Even if you are her husband. (Perhaps especially if you are her husband, if the sagas are anything to go by.) She will cut you.

In conclusion: TEAM LAGERTHA.

In conclusion what the fuck are you talking about?

Never mind.

Apparently it's a show on the History channel which further proves the History channel isn't about history at all anymore.

History?

No we can fulfill female power fantasies and feminism!

Fucking goddamn it.

You know how most women are supposedly wearing the wrong bra size?

Yes, I was. You probably are, too. Odds are, most of you are wearing bras that are too big in the band and too small in the cup.

Amerifats.

Don't let those Victoria's Secret salespeople try to fit you. VS still uses the discredited add-inches rule [ETA: plus they measure for your underbust over your bust! The hell?] that will leave you swimming in a too-large band (with a too-small cup size). Some of their bras are decent if you fit into their not-terribly-extensive size range, but do not let them tell you what size you need.

The sizes VS has had me in for many, many years: 36C or 38B (sister sizes in that they have the same cup volume), depending on the bra style.

The size I truly am, according to both the bra bloggers and the real bra fitter at Nordstrom: 34DD (US sizing, also sometimes called 34E, which is confusingly a cup size smaller than a UK 34E, which would be the equivalent of a US 34F!) 

Did you know the bra was invented by a man?

Inexplicably?

You can tell because you need a doctorate in mathematics to figure out how the measurement system works.

If a woman invented it the sizes would be based around making everyone feel good about themselves.

You know what I think would be a very popular Olympic event among my fellow Americans?

Bob Costas in a dunk tank.

A dunk tank FULL OF HUNGRY SHARKS.

Finally someone who understands my hatred of Bob Costas.

And from an unlikely source.

This is from a woman who scrapped several posts because they were "too negative".

All the proof I need for Robert Costas being a tool factory.

So sad that Mad Men has reached 1966, due to fashion taking a turn for the hellaciously ugly in the mid-1960s and staying fug pretty much ever since.* That takes away a significant amount of the show's appeal, to be honest.

I just want pretty things! Is that so wrong?








*I'm old enough to retain some memories of the 1970s. The horror. THE HORROR.

So what'd we learn from this post?

One: apparently the only reason she watches TV shows is because of fashion (other posts hinted at this but this confirms it).

Two: she's way, way too old to be acting like this.

You have memories from the 70s?

I don't even have memories of the first part of the 90s and I'm more mature than this.

When the going gets tough, the tough read fanfic.

For four hours.

Instead of editing, writing, or tackling the kilometer-long to-do list.

So stressed out by November that I've broken through to the other side and just don't care anymore.

I plan to enjoy this while it lasts.

Independent white woman here

When I read or write fiction, I always "see" the action in a vivid cinematic fashion, like a movie in my head; I thought everyone did that, but I have been informed that this is not the case. Huh. So am I the weird one, or the people who don't have movies in their heads when they read/write?

Doesn't matter what plebeians think or don't think.

Anyway, for me, one of the most fun parts of prepping for NaNoWriMo or any fiction writing is the casting of actors as the characters. It must be frustrating for published writers who use this method to have completely wrong actors cast in film/TV adaptations of their work. (Please oh please let me have a chance to find out someday for myself.)

God is this really how people write?

No wonder fiction sucks.

IS IT NOVEMBER YET? I WANT TO GET MY SPACE OPERA ON.






*Just so you know, Indira Varma and Thomas Kretschmann would have attractive offspring. Also crazy smart, although the genetic engineering had something to do with that — both the crazy and the smart. And what do you think you'd get from Claudia Black and Damian Lewis? Luckily for them, they had access to more advanced genetic engineering, so their offspring mostly escaped the crazy, although I suspect their daughter will take little comfort in that when a certain semimad scientist starts driving her around the bend.

Oh attractive geniuses?

With no flaws due to genetic engineering?

They sound really interesting what with their no flaws to overcome or compensate for.

I'm sure it'll do well with the target demographic because if I've learned anything from the fanfiction crowd it's that any adversity or struggle doesn't go over well.

At least not as well as annoying noises, emotes and homoerotica. 

TOR: My husband is beta testing The Old Republic. I'm not an MMO person (I'll play TOR because it's Star Wars, not because I play well with others), but he is, and he's impressed by what he's played so far. What I can say is that it's gorgeous and the voice acting is top-notch, well worth the necessity of defiling my own MacBook Pro with Windows when the time comes.

Haha oh wow

So much shit wrong with that statement I'm not even going to dwell on it.

Fuck blogs.

fug :DDDDDDDDD

Slim pickings today.
Unless you like reading bullshit roleplay stories.
You know I shit on fanfic a lot but at least it's not roleplaiyng.

Attn non-Tumblr-ers: American Idol/Rymon Comedy Hour posts are now sorted under the rymon rewatch tag. Let me know if something is missing. We’ve finished season 5. Season 6 starts Monday. Brace yourselves for Sanjaya, Blake Lewis, Ryan and Simon's African honeymoon, and an almost unreal amount of gay innuendo. BEST! SEASON! EVER!

Are these words?
Composed by a human?
Or are they words a machine has assembled to seem like a coherent thought?

Hi guys. I’m super into Star Trek now. TOS, almost exclusively, but it’s really just a matter of time. I’ve already projectile vomited my feelings all over poor squonk and bironic, among others, and now I have a TOS Tumblr where I’m documenting my thorough rewatching of the entire series, plus movies, plus probably all the other Star Trek series, and then the reboot … with pictures!! If that’s something you’re into, you should watch along with me.

I love having movies ruined by idiots.
That's why I went to see The Lone Ranger opening day in a theater filled with people suffering from brain damage because holy shit why did they laugh at every single thing that happened in the movie?
Intended to be funny or not it sure tickled someone's fancy.
Also holy Christ could that movie have been any longer or less interesting?

Summary

    You think no one does it? Takes what is offered so very willingly? (Primarchs/Astartes slash)

Are you fucking kidding me I mean come the fuck on.

Never again.

1. I just realized that Tumblr is potentially an entirely new audience of people for me to convert to Rymon (and Ryan in general) fandom. With that in mind, should I be applying tags more liberally to my Tumblr posts? I’ve already had a few things reblogged by Simon fans who are not following me--and Saula fans, oh my goodness gracious, if they only knew--and I’m always anxious to spread the gospel, as it were. I have also tried some of these silly random tags that I've heard so much about--are those useful or just funny? I feel like a tiny baby with chubby flailing limbs right now.

What the fuck is Rymon?
You know what
never mind.
Last time I asked that I found out there was Warhammer 40,000 gay incest fanfic.
Apparently it's fanfiction of Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell from American Idol.
Can you write fanfiction about them?
They're not characters or even actors playing characters.
Those are real people.
Here's an especially disturbing post about how Ryan Seacrest and Simon from American Idol must have tons of gay sex off camera--
What the fuck am I reading?
Apparently this isn't just one sad creature that obsesses over these two has-beens or never-weres. There's an entire internet group of these people devoted to just posting about Ryan Seacrest and Simon.
From American Idol.
I feel I have to keep saying "from American Idol" because anyone reading this has probably forgotten who they are because who in their right mind has watched American Idol in the last decade?

Simon on Oprah. So this is going to be some bullshit. Let's watch, shall we?

Oh long post short: it seems to imply Simon isn't gay (maybe he isn't? Who cares?) and the woman who keeps this blog is flipping her shit like how dare the man imply he doesn't fuck Ryan Seacrest
from American Idol
in the ass.
Why is this so important to you, lady?
I don't care who is dating who in life.
Maybe it's because I'm a man and I don't give a shit about stuff like this but last time I met a gay couple here was my reaction: "oh ok."

Ugh, American Idol, SO boring tonight. There was only one dick joke! They sedated Seacrest!

Take a guess how many posts about American Idol I've skimmed. 
Go on.
Write down an answer somewhere.
Ballpark it.
Let's say you win if you're within 5 posts.
Ok do you have your answer written down?
FORTY SEVEN.

Someone in the audience is holding a glittery sign that says "RYAN + SIMON 4-EVER" inside a big red heart. Hee. ONE OF US, ONE OF US!

God.

Oh my god, this show gets weirder every week. And it's already the weirdest show ever, so this is really pushing the limits of weirdness. Ryan walks through a tunnel of contestants and finds Simon with his arm tightly around Ellen. I predicted this, that Simon would get all weirdly jealous about Ryan's thing with Ellen and would try to one-up him. Fighting over the affections of a married lesbian. Ryan, of course, is totally delighted by this, because wouldn't you be?

Oh
no
yeah
totally
do you think about anything else?
Oh shit here's a post about House fanfiction--
where House and Wilson are having gay sex, naturally--
but at least it's not American Idol.
That's-- something, I guess?
Oh God I ended up leaving this for like 12 hours fuck the police

Haaaah wow

Sorry I didn't update Wednesday but I had a damn fine reason:
none of the Livejournal communities were loading for me. I checked and apparently this was a personal problem (or really, personal boon I think) but whatever.
Anyway, welcome...
TO OBLIVION!
The first article on ONTD_Political is so fucking awesome I can't even be bothered to find a blog because I know exactly where I'm hanging out this fiiiiiine Friday.

10 of the Most Disturbing Communities on the Web *trigger warning*

The My Little Pony board on 4chan is 1 in my opinion.

1. Pro-Anorexia Nervosa communities

I mean I can think of several things more disturbing on the internet than pro-anorexia but whatever.
Also: smartest thing I ever did, banning those.
I know this seems silly but bear with me because this is about to get awesome.

2. Suicide and self-harm communities

K.

3. Child pornography

So there you have it. A bunch of selfish cunts starving themselves out so they can look pretty is objectively worse than systematic child rape and abuse.
You know this whole thing really hangs a huge question on the whole ONTD_Political/Feminism thing of THINK OF THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN, doesn't it?
I always suspected when they said "women and children" they meant "women" and by "women" they meant "me" but this effectively confirms it.

The Internet has been a haven for pedophiles to share child pornography for a long time. Before Internet connections in homes were even common, it was there.

Ignoring for the moment that before internet connections in the home were common most browsers were incapable of displaying pictures--

Consecutive forms of Internet discussion have harbored this material, from the old BBSes to Usenet, which only fell out of common use less than a decade ago, the web itself, and peer-to-peer file sharing programs. It is also present in layers of the deep web accessible only via software such as Tor and Freenet.

RAMPANT PEDOPHILIA ON THE INTERNET?
Not quite as bad as a girl choosing to starve herself out.

It is estimated that there are between 50,000 and 100,000 pedophiles communicating and sharing images on the Internet, not to mention the involvement of those who aren t pedophiles but have been willing to exploit children in the name of profit.

I'm going to inflate your number and say there are 150,000 pedophiles actively molesting children thanks to the internet (ignoring this is immensely spurious) we are looking at 0.000001% of the entire population of earth engaging in this behavior.
I bet I could find 0.000001% of any given population engaging in disturbing behavior.
This entire article really strikes me as fear mongering in the extreme.

4. Drug experiences

16 year olds posting about their experience with pot?
Only mildly less disturbing than pedophilia.

But talk is cheap. Venture into the deep web and you ll find sites like Silk Road where you can obtain everything from Xanax to heroin in the mail in exchange for BitCoins. Silk Road might be the most well-known example, but in just a few minutes you can find dozens of alternatives.

They make it seem like you're 3 mouse clicks away from heroin. If an average user of the internet tried this the feds would be at their doorstep in 5 minutes.
Here, I'll even pose a challenge to the cunt who wrote this article, or the other cunt who posted it to ONTD_Political or hell, anyone reading this:
I don't want to you buy anything with Bitcoins.
Get the Bitcoins.
Turn your local currency into Bitcoins.
Go ahead, I can wait.
Fuck, I bet 50% of the people I will talk to about this entry aren't even aware of what a Bitcoin is let alone how to get one.

 5. Blackhat SEO, spam and follower buying

So in terms of disturbing things wrought by humanity thanks to the internet:
1. anorexia
2. suicide
3. pedophilia
4. pot
5. spam
Hmmm.
You know one might begin to question the wisdom of this article when you line it up like that.
AND I FORGOT TO FINISH THIS POST FRIDAY GOD FUCKING DAMN IT.
Now ONTD_POLITICAL HAS MOVED ON AND I'M ALL FUCKED UP NOW.
Back to business as usual Monday I promise~

Oh of course

This is AngelofDeath275's journal.
What do you expect from someone who names themselves ANGEL OF FUCKING DEATH?
Boring posts about how haaaaaaaaard algebra 101 and Japanese 101 are.
Because, you know, you definitely can't sleep through that bullshit or anything.
I found this blog on ONTD_Political (of course) and I found this blog through 3 potential entries.
GUESS WHICH:
1. entry about republicans blocking one of Obama's pet projects to bring more jobs back to the US
2. a US senator proposes the only reason the Colorado massacre was allowed to occur was because the movie goers were too cowardly to stop the shooter (I don't even think Warhammer would propose something that crass)
3. Chinese dictionary refuses to acknowledge a word's new application: homosexual

For a blog about politics you'd think 1 and 2 would be the natural candidates but, of course, ONTD_Political can't shut up about gays.

A newly published edition of an authoritative Chinese dictionary has come under fire for leaving out the homosexual definition of a word commonly used to refer to gay men and lesbians.

The word "tongzhi" traditionally means "comrade" and has been widely used by the Communist Party. But in recent decades the word has evolved to refer to homosexuals.

I mean Christ, this makes news?
Wow, imagine, a country with literally thousands of years of history in white washing its own past regimes doesn't let that shit fly!
I'll be sure to write a strongly worded letter to China that some whining cunts on Livejournal in America are very unhappy that they didn't put a definition in a book!

Because if you don't say it, it's not a thing, right? :p

Says one comment. In fact, yes, in this case. Words will shift. If you suppress this one long enough people will apply it to a new word. The Chinese government, I assume, could give two shits about gays. They just don't like the application to the term "comrade" because, unsurprisingly, most of the central political figures in China are remnants of the old communist regime.

ugh its like trying to write them out of history

All right calm down. Last time I read a line like that my FFXIV character was watching a city get obliterated by a magical death laser from an airship.
When China invents a magical death laser--
First I want to see a Youtube video of it and second I hardly doubt they'd use it to menace gay people.
They might wave their new weapon willy at the US but I hardly doubt anyone gives a shit about gays.

...I knew that this itouch would act up more than usual. The wifi bars thing didn't show for the entire day until I turned it off and on again.
...guess for now a journal post can serve as a note of this.

HOLY SHIT GUYS
I WAS TRYING TO TEXT MIKE THREE DAYS AGO IN THE COOLER AT MY SHITTY JOB
AND IT DROPPED THE TEXT.
Then it didn't even give me a bounce notice until today.
CAN YOU FUCKING IMAGINE?
Let this serve as a note.
So in case you didn't get the memo, Mike:
haha yeah
HOPE YOU CAN FILL IN THE MISSING PUZZLE PIECE

Ugh this scald burn mark on my right hand....the layer that makes melanin is gone and it will take some time for it to come back. But dealing with the fact my skin looks like meat.....I can see the dark spots where the fair follicles are and it's weird... I just want my skin color back... When I push on it it turns white....

... So don't push on it?

I should've never had taken college algebra at this point in my life. My life is too damn stressful at this point in my life. I cracked under it and still thought I could go on. What an idiot I am.
Traveling between two colleges.
At one college, I'm taking Japanese and thaws annoying ass group of friends think it's ok to fucking talk while others are giving presentations. In every Japanese class I've taken there's always annoying people.

I'm trying to illuminate you baka gaijin (translator's note: "baka gaijin" means "stupid foreigner in Nihongo [Japanese]) about the WONDERS OF ANIME AND YOU DARE SPEAK OVER MY PRESENTATION?

God damn I've never was aware of how much if my CPU I use.....man I really need a new one

Because a CPU
you know, it's a finite resource. That shit cannot be replaced once it's gone.
And you definitely can't free up system resources by stopping unnecessary processes.
Bottom line: once your CPU is full you might as well replace it.

I had so much fun last night. For my birthday we went to moto-i, the first sake brewery outside of Japan! It was 7 people altogether, just a small group of close friends. Only two people couldn't make it due to schedule conflict. I didn't go crazy and get shit-faced I had one cocktail, shot of nigori sake, and a little bit of my friend's bloody mary because she didn't expect it to be spicy XD

XD holy fuck you are retarded.

I am completely obsessed over Angry Birds.


That is all.

Grrrrrrl gamer here

So when I was at the Job Fair Friday, I saw a guy from my English class. He said his paper isn't coming up too well. Ok, not everyone is great at writing.

But then.

But then he goes on about gow gender studies really don't interest him that much and and thats why hes having trouble with his paper. He claims to acknowledge that this is probably a bad thing since its an important thing to learn, but....hes just not that interested.

You're telling the preacher, brother, but what can you do?
Bitches gonna bitch at you until you drill that drivel into your fucking skull.

I can just imagine how he'll contort this to mean he doesn't want to attacked for his views. IT JUST HIS OPINION GAIZZZZZ. Douche's opinion are apart of an institution that oppress women, non-cis and non-hetero people. I do not care at all if he were to be attacked for his views in class because he would deserve it.

AND IF YOU THINK DIFFERENT YOU ARE A BIGOT.
LIBERALS: EMBRACING DIVERSITY UNLESS YOU HAPPEN TO DISAGREE WITH THEM.
You're both assholes and you both suck at writing. Stand aside and leave your petty politics out of my sight because I don't have time for either one of you.

I now realize why going to school always ends up bothering me......because of the lighting they use, the floaters in my eyes become REALLY apparent. Its fucking annoying.

God why can't there be a cure for them.

Because it's dust in the lens of your eye.
If you're really aware of floaters it might be a serious medical condition. Might want to have that checked before you go blind.

I just was harassed today at school. Around 1:45 pm.

OH SHIT PEOPLE
WHITE WOMAN HARASSED
DID SOMEONE SAY HELLO TO YOU?

I was playing the piano, when someone opened the door. I turned around and it was this creepy as guy just standing there, w/ his foot in the door. He kept on asking "c-can I listen to you play the piano?" he wanted to stand IN the tiny ass room watching me. I told his I'm not comfortable w/ that, go away, etc. but he didn't. He just stood outside the door, watching me. I yelled "AWAY!" but all he did was move outside my view. I just didn't feel safe. I didn't want to play the piano anymore, but I also didn't want to leave the room. He looked in one more time, then left. After gathering up the courage. I left the room.

>doing shit at college

I knew I had to talk to someone about this. 

So a guy--
wanted to listen to you play the piano
maybe was taking some sort of interest in your boring life and you immediately freak out and have to tell someone like you were just raped.
I mean the guy was probably an asshole but I think this might be a bit of an overreaction.

I didn't want to but I knew I had to. I tried finding my Intro to Women studies instructor in her office, but she wasn't there. So I tried finding my Women Respond to Violence instructor. Not in her office. I went back to the 4th floor of the H building to find Jennifer March. Not in her office. Looked at when she would be in her office. Not for a couple of hours. Feeling completely hopeless. YES! she just walked right in to her. Told her what happenend to me, crying my eyes out. She suggests that I go talk to the counselor. 

Guy made eye contact. Clearly a threat.

She tells the secretary what happened. And he calls the counselor. Its a guy.....didn't feel comfortable talking to him at all....I bring up why this harassment is triggering to me, and he tries to delve deeper into that....theres are the peopel you talk to about shit like that, but not NOT going to talk about it w/ a male. He suggests if I want to talk to a females counselor. Yes I do.

So I talk to her about what happened, and she says the best thing to do is to file a report w/ the public safety office. I'm comfortable doing that, so we talk to the police officer, I give a discription of the creepster, and write the a report. The most unforturnate part is.....there are no cameras near the piano room. Theres one way down the hallway, and thats the closest one....so the officer says he wants me to come by tomorrow after my class, and he may he an ID on the creep. I hope so.

This asshole clearly belongs in prison. I hope you get him.

And the harassment doesn't end there.

Oh shit
it is so hard being you.

I'm walking to my bus stop and this guy is talking about me body like I'm a god damn object to his friends. Like I can't fucking hear. I know I wasn't the only one he did this to, but the creepster I can't take it. SO I tell him "God, I cannot fucking stand your kind!" And then he follows me to the bus stop (luckily there were people there) and tells me the SMILE.

All right that might actually be harassment. I don't know the full details because you seem a bit unreasonable but if it's actually as you described then that qualifies.

All I wanna do is stare him down. And to make shit worse, a little prick dancing to his music tries to say hi to me. 

See then you say shit like that and I suspect you're just a turbo cunt and everyone involved in this story was just being friendly and you immediately have to tell your therapist about the scary eye contact all the men in your life make.
Here's a post with a cut that says "this gives me alot (sic) to think about"
there is no such word as "alot"
you don't say "acat" or "adog" so why is "alot" a word?

White liberals know about racism. 

Black liberals don't know about it, though.
Or black conservatives?
OR WHITE CONSERVATIVES?
Only white liberals know about racism.
Oh this is a cross post on ONTD_Feminism.
I'm rolling with the punches, people. If you can't keep up--
don't feel bad because neither can I.

If they're good liberals, they try to modify their behavior, because they care. They listen and watch and learn and figure out how to avoid the blatant racism a lot of people don't even notice they carry out. But they're not perfect. Their racism inevitably takes on new, more insidious forms, and the places it accumulates are usually those where white liberals assume elitist positions. One of those areas has been cutely dubbed "food snobbery", and it irritates me to no end.

You're just looking for something to whine about.

I come from a poor town on U.S./Mexico border. Fancy dining was in the few chain restaurants that dared take a risk on the populace. The population is 95% Latin@. Mexican food was part of the landscape, not anything special or fussed over. Suffice to say, I was somewhat astonished when I went off to college and met a girl who whined about how Tex-Mex wasn't REAL Mexican food. No, it's not Mexican Mexican, but it's made by Mexican-Americans and Mexican immigrants who live right next to Mexico and thus I didn't care to hear her whitesplaining about authenticity. But she knew better, you see; she had traveled into Mexico's interior, dined at some authentic tourist trap and had authentic ethnic cuisine, and now she was clearly an expert on the subject. No silly Latina was going to sway her views, and at the time I lacked the vocabulary to articulate what about her relentless obsession with authenticity rubbed me so wrong.

So the black guy that works at this Japanese restaurant I go to sometimes--
does that make the food soul food too?
This is a legitimate point. The stuff you buy in America is watered down, homogenized pap for idiot masses like you. The fact is, Mexicans don't cook their food like it's cooked in America.
This might be a good thing  (sanitation) and it might be a bad thing (homogenized taste).
You have to ask yourself if it's worth it.
Preferrably in a mirror.
While crying.

I finally realized what it was. You see, what "food snobs" really want is to appreciate food that helps them pretend they are removed from the rabble's banal American existence, and immigrants and non-white populations are tools for doing that. 

>Banal American existence
Because you know, it's only boring to be white. Other people have culture but white people are blank slates--
Isn't this racism itself?
Saying these people are unlike white people?
You go to China and you can't eat orange chicken, as delicious as it is.
Well you can now after it was imported to China.
Yes, orange chicken, staple of any Chinese restaurant in America, is an American invention and an American export.
But you see where I'm coming from. If you throw fucking--
I don't know--
Duck sauce on fish and chips suddenly it's not British cuisine. It's British cuisine plus something you, an American, have added.
It's now American cuisine.
It might be fucking radical. I'm not saying it sucks because it's American but calling something American Mexican food is a marketing ploy by Americans to sell shit food to Americans.
You should probably just go to McDonald's because I'm getting tired of explaining this and goddamn those fries are good.

They want to be special white people, well-traveled and educated white people, who eat all kinds of crazy ethnic things that will impress their friends. No cream of mushroom casserole here; they are all about "real food". They eschew mainstream restaurants and invade hole-in-the-wall places in ethnic neighborhoods.

If you want food poisoning be my fucking guest but meanwhile I don't mind the Chinese food I get from that one place.

Mostly because the girl who owns the place is pretty cute but also because it's pretty good.

They'll award points for rough edges and sparse decor, and they love it when the staff barely speaks English.

She speaks English beautifully.
Not as perfect as I, but she does a damn fine job for a nonnative speaker.
And that's how I know the place is up to code.

(Look at how tolerant we are! We dare to venture where most white people do not!) If they're feeling really enthusiastic, they'll join their local gentrification pioneers and find a way to install themselves next to these adorable foreigners until the neighborhood is full of other white people, at which point they'll grumble about racism and oppression. They'll grumble about those other white people because they feel in their hearts they have somehow transcended white, transcended trashy.

Because only white people can be trash.

I've heard people say that "you can't good Mexican food outside Mexico/the Southwest". People, Mexican immigrants are everywhere. They do not lose their culinary powers the farther they wander from the motherland. They are allowed to modify traditional recipes to their own tastes, even if doing so horrifies the white people who think that immigrants have an obligation to uphold the static and pure vision of "authentic cuisine". Making changes, food snobs say, is so American.

IF YOU DO IT
IN AMERICA
TO SELL IT TO AMERICANS
IT IS AMERICAN.
Mexican immigrant?
Guess what you're now an American citizen.
Americans
selling shit
to Americans
isn't Mexican food anymore.

Food snobs ignore the fact that most nonwhite people do not have the money, the time, the childcare available to travel the world and dabble in the foods of their or their ancestors' countries of origin. They forget that most nonwhite people in the U.S. live in grocery deserts, and thus cannot indulge in organic beef and exotic ingredients from the farmer's market (does the bus even go there? Who knows, we use the Prius.) They are not interested in immigrants or nonwhite people who cannot facilitate their journey of culinary discovery.

Ok there's this pizza place called New York Pizza (shut up that's what it's called I don't think it's a chain) then there's the Mellow Fucking Mushroom, then the guy down the road who is actually Italian (AUTHENTIC)--
that covers your pizza food group
Then we go to High Point to a place called--
I forget the fucking name but it's awesome YOU'LL LOVE IT and that has your grain and chicken food groups covered.
I have now covered all three food groups there are.
Chicken, pizza, grains.
Best food I know of, you're welcome.
Shut up everyone.

What happens if you challenge food snobs and confront them with their bullshit? Oh, they'll argue with you. Good food, they'll say, has nothing to do with race, and they'd really love a world where everyone could eat like them. 

Unfortunately there isn't enough protein on earth for everyone to eat like your typical fat American.
This isn't a racism thing or a privilege thing so much as it is a statistics thing.
Speaking of I'd like to make a quick aside to tell you about a baller as fuck guy:
Fritz Haber
You have him to thank for all the fucking food you've been shoveling into your fat, unworthy maws for the last 150 years.
This guy was so fucking smart he realized all the fat people he created would be a problem in the future so he promptly invented ways to gas them all in WWI.
He's German
fucking with chemical warfare
but he's not a Nazi because he died before that shit happened don't you people fucking read Jesus Christ not all Germans are Nazis.
Guy was BFFs with Albert Einstein anyway.
That's how smart people function, you know.
Oh, you're German?
That's great I guess but what's really cool is FEEDING HALF THE WORLD WITH THIS THING YOU DISCOVERED.
Oh you're a Jew?
Great but YOU CAME UP WITH THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY.
You know if you ONTD_Feminist cunts want a real woman historical figure to be proud of why don't you pull someone like Kathleen Antonelli out of your list of important women achievers?
Because unlike some radical feminist cunt this woman actually achieved something in her life:
she was one of six people to invent the fucking computer.
Never hear about her, DO YOU? Know why?
Not because she helped contribute to one of the most important inventions of all time--
but because she also did it while being a housewife.
NOT RADICAL ENOUGH SORRY~
This woman literally invented a field of mathematics to make computers work but you never hear about that shit.
I've almost decided to write a religious text--
because you idiots need more self help books you'll promptly ignore--
and I've decided that one of the things I'm going to encourage is a meritocracy.
Jew, German, black, white, Chinese--
stand ye on your merits alone.

They hate bland American food and they complain about how white food is accused of being boring, as if white people didn't constitute the bulk of internationally acclaimed chefs, restaurant owners, grocery chain owners, farmer's market farmers, and even the goddamn cookbook authors.

I like how at one point I might have skipped over where she bitches that these food snob people bitch that Americans use ketchup.
Yet ketchup is the one thing mentioned so far that isn't actually an American invention.
It's a Chinese invention.
I think that, above everything, is my problem with people in general.
You talk and you talk and you're so enlightened and you're so high and mighty and yet you're completely dead fucking wrong in everything you say.
Step 1: learn something
step 2: then you spout off about it.
"Ketchup" doesn't even sound like an English word, DOES IT?
I can even write this shit in Mandarin you pretentious fucks because I actually paid attention in school and took useful classes instead of fucking woman's study 101:
鮭汁
Gui-zhi.
TRUST ME IT WOULD TURN INTO KETCHUP IF YOU SPOKE ENGLISH.
It's brine of a pickled fish, but then the Malaysians got the recipe and said "wait what if we use tomatoes we borrowed from the Italians instead of rotting fish" AND THUS WAS BORN THE GREATEST GARNISH EVER.
It's a Chinese
and Malaysian invention
imported to America
by the British--
it is not a fucking American invention.
And this is why you don't want ethnic cooking because all of the food you eat no matter where you're from is disgusting.
It's just your mother shoveled it into your ungrateful face when you were a kid so that's what you like now.
"Be saved, as unworthy as ye are"--
Thus spake the book of Timothy chapter 1 verse 5.
After the opening lines which are
"you're stupid and full of shit
I hate you
you're going to hell
live with it."

When they talk about American food, they talk about white and whitewashed traditions. They do not include nonwhite people in these broad statements. They'll proudly tell you that they knew what horchata was before that song came out, as if there aren't millions of people who grew up with the stuff. In their mind, there's no problem with passing judgment on people's diets, any person's diet. Food snobbery makes them special.

Or how about the only Japanese song to ever top the pop charts in the US: "Sukiyaki" by Kyu Sakamoto?
It has nothing to do with the Japanese food. They only called it that because it was about the only exposure Americans had to Japanese culture outside of sumo wrestling and origami.
The reason for the name change?
Because its actual name, "Ue o Muite Aruko" doesn't roll off the tongue of a typical English speaker.
Also the song is depressing as fuck and I think the marketing people realized this.
Great fucking song though, probably one of the best Japanese singers of all time--
and, like every great singer in the 1960s, died in a plane crash.
Why am I talking about this at all?
I don't remember either but I feel like this blog is so full of shit I have to draw attention away from the bullshit.
Seriously the guy could whistle almost as good as Otis Redding I'm dead fucking serious.

Food snobbery is about race. It's about xenophobia and the cynical use of immigrants.

Hail Caesar.
Sorry felt that fit in.
Surely a religion that blends Greek mythology, transhumanism, personal efficacy, futurism, technocracy, meritocracy and a strong Gothic (like from the Goth people in Germany) aesthetic will be a huge hit with the common idiot.
Wait--

It's about class and fatphobia and the relentless desire of a certain set of white people to be identified as uniquely sensitive to other cultures. To be the most special privilege monsters in the pile.

I don't want to hear about your food snobbery.

Let me take another brief respite before I depart to tell you about another great thinker:
my favorite Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius.
One of the first people to propose nutrition as a key to being healthy.
Look how baller this guy is.
Look at this one half paragraph from his Wikipedia page:

Like many emperors, Marcus spent most of his time addressing matters of law such as petitions and hearing disputes. Marcus took great care in the theory and practice of legislation. Professional jurists called him "an emperor most skilled in the law" and "a most prudent and conscientiously just emperor". He shows marked interest in three areas of the law: the manumission of slaves, the guardianship of orphans and minors, and the choice of city councillors (decuriones). In 168 he revalued the denarius, increasing the silver purity from 79% to 82% — the actual silver weight increasing from 2.57 grams to 2.67 grams.

One half of one paragraph in like a 50 page article about how baller this fucker was.
Will you ever read anything like that about Obama?
"Most skilled in the law" and "prudent and conscientiously just emperor"?
He revalued the currency.
Like the Chinese did.
And what did Obama do?
FUCK ALL.

"Alone of the emperors," wrote the historian Herodian, "he gave proof of his learning not by mere words or knowledge of philosophical doctrines but by his blameless character and temperate way of life."

HOLY SHIT.
There's a leader you could take some pride in.
He wasn't preaching fucking bullshit about austerity then jetting off to Hawaii for a vacation.
He wasn't whining on Livejournal about what white people were eating.
He was busy being emperor and writing one of the most influential philosophical texts ever written.
2000 years later Wikipedia acts like it's on a first name basis with the guy.
Will the entirety of Livejournal ever add up to even a fraction of a fraction what the people I've just mentioned have accomplished?
Of course not.
Fucking
Livejournal
is bullshit.
I'm going to bed.

PUSSY SENSITIVITY TIME
This is racism 101. A group of people with white guilty on the internet!

So. I know the classic racist cliche is "all those people look alike." And the inability to distinguish people of another ethnicity from each other is a fairly standard marker of prejudice.

That's because all people of a given ethnic group are likely to look alike.
There are only so many standard deviations a face can have, you know.

I have moderate to severe difficulty telling faces apart in general; I tend to run with context, haircuts, and broad categories, and if those change or are too close to someone else's, I can't tell people apart without a lot of familiarity. (I've occasionally mistaken my sisters for each other, or not recognized them immediately, after not seeing them for more than a year. I only have two.) And this difficulty gets worse with PoC, especially if my brain keeps categorizing hairstyles I'm less familiar with as roughly the same thing.

"Oh shit I'm sorry."
Problem solved.
You've admitted this is a problem you have with people in general.

I do not want to be the person doing the "all you people look alike!" thing to PoC. Even if I'm not phrasing it like that. Even if it's true for white folks too.

Does anyone know a way I can fix this, or work around it better? "I'm terrible at recognizing faces and remembering names" may well be the simple truth, but if there's a way to fix this, I'd really rather do so, rather than keep assuring PoC that, hey, it's not my fault I'm confusing them with other PoC.

Only have one friend of a given ethnic group.
Problem solved.

The police brutality you are just now noticing is what we call business as usual.


Signed,

People of color

K.
I've never been brutalized by the police.
And I try to keep it that way.

Dear White People:

When a person of color critiques a problematic statement by a White person, the thing NOT to do is respond by explaining its literal meaning or historical source, particularly if nobody asked. When you do this, you are not adding a necessary perspective.

THAT'S THEIR WORD
All right I get it, fuck.

This is in response to some claims I've seen - that the white mainstream is appropriating from geek culture, that metrosexuals are appropriating the markers of gay culture. I'll comment/edit with specific examples as I find them.

How do you all feel about these claims?

I can see how it can be argued that calling "mainstreaming" of subcultural markers "appropriation" can actually trivialize the experience of appropriation when people of minority cultures attempt to discuss the matter, so I can see how it would be silencing. But I'm white, so I'm taking a wild stab in the dark.

GEEK HIS CHIC
TEE HEE
If I see another one of you high school sluts in a Mario shirt and big nerd glasses trying to be cute--
PREPARE FOR A VIDEO GAME QUIZ MADE BY ME.

Can anyone point me towards some resources on respecting people of color in romantic or sexual contexts?

Are you fucking kidding me?
You date a brown girl so you don't have to do research in how not to offend her.
Might as well date a white bitch at this point.
Also offending people in sexual contexts?
How?
Why?
Might want to keep your sex slave fantasy a secret until you're sure she's cool with that kind of shit but I'm pretty sure that applies regardless of color.
Or gender, really.

I have been googling and looking at the tags of various LJ communities, but so far I have not found any resources written from the anti-oppression stance. I would be elated to find something aimed at queer women, but I will appreciate all suggestions.

What?

Hello, white girl here. One of my old friends from college is Chinese. Occasionally, she would say things about Chinese people and Asians in general which struck me as...not right. As a white person, I didn't feel like I had the right to tell her she was wrong, but what she said made me feel uncomfortable. She said that all Chinese people had two basic personality types--they were either obedient nerds who did nothing except study, or they were rebelling against the obedient nerd type.

Sounds like a cool chick.
Why are you bitching about her?

This, she said, was because of how they were raised. She said that this was why she didn't really like Chinese people, and why she definitely won't date any.

Heck yeah.

I'm aware that there are culturally ingrained parenting techniques Chinese parents tend to follow, but I find it hard to believe that there are no exceptions. I also find it hard to believe that there are only two ways that these methods can be responded to.

Surely someone with enough personality to distinguish between stereotypes doesn't fully conform to one.
Have you ever heard of something called a joke?
I'm pretty sure when people say shit like that they aren't being serious.
Or, if they are being serious, they're not totally serious.

If I heard a white person saying these things it would be very easy for me to call them out on it, because it's stereotyping. But it's her culture. I went to high school with a lot of Chinese people and observed a variety of different personality types which contradicted her statement. Her personality contradicted it!

Who
Cares
 What I want to know is--was that the right response?
I've had black people and Asian people do this shit to me and I tell them straight out:
"no matter what I say here I'll look like a racist honky so I'm just not going to say anything at all."
Then they laugh and we all lighten up.

I feel guilty about agreeing with her that all Chinese people are basically the same--it feels like I'm dehumanizing a enormous and varied group of people.

All people are basically the same.
Calling all Chinese people the same isn't racist, then. It's a subset of the above logic which is colorblind by definition.

I've been talking with some POC buddies who are active with online social justice circles, and we shared similar observations and frustrations when it comes to White people in social justice, especially when compared to POCs in social justice.

I am prepared to bring the Emperor's Justice to everyone.
I don't think anyone on this planet is fully prepared for it.
It will be sweeping
It will be swift
It will be characteristically brutal.

Right now I'm tutoring at an ESL school where most of the students are Korean and Japanese. Often in conversation I'm complimented by students on my looks - my blonde hair, blue eyes, large eyes, large breasts, tall, whatnot. When I was in Japan I got compliments like that all the time - which I usually don't mind that much, but one day I had a conversation with my host mother about makeup - I said I never bothered to wear makeup, and she said that's fine because I didn't need it - Japanese women need makeup to make their faces more contoured, but white people already have that. 

OH BOY LET ME GO TO A COUNTRY I UNDERSTAND NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT
It's a manners thing. Ego is a big deal in Japan so they'll never say YEAH I'M FUCKING HOT AS FUCK they'll call themselves ugly.
Here we'd call it false modesty but it's a big deal there.
After that conversation I became really uncomfortable getting compliments on things that basically boil down to racial traits.
"No I'm not pretty, I'm really ugly."
They won't know how to handle that shit.
They don't expect you to know their bizarre system of manners so it's like this weird double down thing.

And sometimes I want to pull out my hair talking to Korean girls - so many beautiful girls want to get plastic surgery, especially eyelid surgery so they can get double-eyelids. On the one hand I recognize that they don't see eyelid surgery as being racially loaded - it's just something that loads of people do in Korea (look at Korean celebrities; 95% of them, men and women, have done it).  

I'll agree that is a sick practice and should stop immediately.
Unless they're ugly.
Speaking of Asian girls with big eyes, have you ever seen Anna Tsuchiya?

How should I respond to compliments like this? I just usually change the topic or avoid answering. I always tell Korean girls "you're beautiful the way you are, you don't need surgery" but I don't know if I'm just being patronizing.

Fuck it, man.
You do realize Asians are on par with white people in terms of ease of offending, right?
They don't really offend.
Well they might, but it will be over stuff besides racism.

At the end of the day I'm the only one reading racial politics into it; Asians in Asia (as opposed to immigrants, that's another can of worms) don't seem to see this stuff as racially related at all.

That's because it isn't.
You're making this about you and it isn't about you.
People are genetically attracted to things that are different yet familiar.
Blue eyes are different for a country that is almost 100% brown eyes.
But I tell you guys who actually have the most luck in Asia are guys with dark eyes and hair because they have similar coloration (at least in passing) but their faces look different.

So should I say anything, or should I just suck it up and stfu?

You should definitely shut the fuck up.

Is anyone aware of any good resources about whites teaching in primarily minority schools? I come from a pretty homogeneously white area. I'm hoping that the summer training will go in-depth into cultural and racial sensitivity, but I don't want to depend on them to provide all the necessary training and support. 

God
You are so many levels of fucked.

I want to prepare myself as best as I can to be as sensitive and aware as possible of the issues my underprivileged students will be facing. I've been collecting journal articles and related book lists, and the fellowship program has provided me with a list of possible resources, but you folks are so great and helpful that I thought you might have suggestions too. 

All right let me break this down for you.
I'm willing to go through this as many times as you need to understand this but I will not accept any whining or whinging because this is the honest fucking truth and I will not have you puss out on me.
So basically 80% of the kids there will refuse to learn.
5% will try but are so fucked they kinda give up
10% will try sometimes but then they'll not try other times. These are your problem students because only rarely do they acknowledge this is of their own doing and they'll try to blame you for why they're failing.
3% don't belong in your class. They belong in a special needs class but either are completely undiagnosed or are technically of average intelligence but are borderline illiterate they just seem to have a learning disability.
1% have a diagnosed learning disability but are being mainstreamed.
1% are actually there, trying, and will succeed.
HAPPY TEACHING~

Anyone have any advice? I know I'm going to make a lot of mistakes, probably multiple times a day, but I want to do right by these kids, to the best of my ability.

Save yourself.
In a parenting debate community, someone just brought up Huck Finn and the original version versus the censored version (where the n-word has been completely replaced with "slave").

Should classic works of literature that have racial slurs be changed for school reading?

Are you out of your fucking mind?
Of course it should be uncensored.

Does it matter the age of the students (middle school versus high school)? Should those books just not be read in schools? Should a teacher avoid reading the book out loud - 

Is it less offensive written than it is spoken?
Also yes you should avoid reading anything out loud. You read at home so we don't have to do it in class.

First, do I, as a white woman, have the right to butt in when I hear one minority making what I interpret to be a racist comment about another minority? I have one experience where an acquaintance (who is Latino) made a disparaging remark about blacks; I didn't say anything, but was silent and visibly uncomfortable. He replied with "It's okay, I'm Latino, I"m allowed to say that." I had no idea how to reply.

What, is it just white people who aren't allowed to say racist things?
Fuck.

This guy at the place I volunteer seems to have a real vendetta against Chinese people - he's gone off multiple times, but "dirty and rude" about sums up what he usually says. I'm not sure where he's from, though I know he's Asian but not Chinese.

Shit, he could be anything. Asians sure hate other Asians.
He might be Chinese, actually.

I know I can't really know a lot of what goes on in relations between different Asians (and I've known people before who resent China for pretty valid political reasons) and I don't know whether it's my business to say anything or not, not to mention I think he's spent time in China, while I haven't, so I haven't got a leg to stand on even if I did counter him.

Soooo shut the fuck up.

The second one is a bit easier - I keep hearing people say that Chinese drivers suck, and I really have no way to yea or nay this through personal experience as I don't drive myself, but it smacks of a racist stereotype to me. Does anyone have some statistics that can shed some light on it? I've searched but had no luck.

In the US if you hold a valid license from another country (except one) you can get a temporary license in the US if you're a tourist.
That one country is China.

Sometimes, the presenters can be pretty condescending to a majority-Latino class. Little things that add up -- instead of counting "one, two, three", they'll say, "uno, dos, tres"; when calling on a student, they'll call him "senor". The sort of thing that you can be easily dismissed for overreacting about when you call 'em out on it, but which amounts to something more significant when it happens over and over again, and -- most importantly -- which the students in the class are certainly picking up on. 

Finding cultural common ground?
Fuck that shit.
YOU SHOULD BE AS UNRELATABLE  AND ALIEN AS POSSIBLE.

Now, when it's the white presenters doing this stuff, my wife has no problem pulling 'em aside to talk about how it's unacceptable. But it's not just the white presenters who do it. The challenge is -- how does a white lady talk to a person of color about how he or she is marginalizing people based on race in a way that's effective? Obviously every presenter of color she works with has more firsthand experience with racism than she does, but that doesn't mean that they're not also capable of acting in a discriminatory fashion. 

Why the fuck do white people have to police everyone about racism?
I kind of liked it when an angry black woman was calling me a racist, actually. At least then I knew what was what.
Now I don't even know what the shit. White women are calling black women racist over comments about Hispanics--
The only thing I can think of now is a cleansing conflagration that will purge the world.

i everyone,

So, I am thinking of going to Paintball with my work colleagues and a friend. It sounds like massive fun, and a great sport to play.

But.

At Action Paintball, there are battlefields named after countries (granted, not all of them are). But it bothers me that they're named after real life countries / battlefields (Like Long Tan, Cambodia, La Drang. There's even one called Gallipoli, as well. Which seems to trivialise the sascrifices made by brave soldiers at Gallipoli). Would you consider this to be racist/an example of cultural appropriation? 

If there's a Khe Sanh I'm so there.
There isn't.
FUCK THIS NOT DOING IT
NO BATTLE OF THE BULGE
NO KHE SANH
WHY BOTHER

(Note: Originally posted at ONTD_feminism, but it quickly got buried under a lot of more recent posts. But if you're a member of that LJ comm, it would be great if you posted there too.) 

Wait, stop. They're giving me targets to review now.
These guys are clearly allies.
Anyway, LOOK FORWARD TO FRIDAY.

ARE YOU INSANE LIKE ME?

Oh boy what a Monday.
Monday free from insanity and shitty high schools.
AN ENTIRE LIFETIME FREE FROM SHITTY SCHOOLS AND YET THE BRAND OF INSANITY REMAINS.
Anyway Livejournal has another fucking question about the goddamn moon.
Excuse me while I adjust the plug to my monitor. Everything has a blue tint.

If you won a free trip to the moon, would you go? Why or why not?

Yes. It's the fucking moon.

Seriously? LJ, seriously? This is a question? WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD SAY NO???

(Yeah, you saw it. Three question marks. In Hebrew, if you use a word three times in a row, it means "to the utmost".

Speaking of totally unrelated shit: Hebrew.
Hey I have a good question for Livejournal users: would you fuck Rihanna?
I ask because she seemed like a DBG a while ago but now she's all crazy after Chris Brown pummeled her and she doesn't look the same anymore and eeeeeeeeeeeeh I don't know so much anymore.

I didn't know Osama bin Laden had been killed until this morning, when I saw the local newspaper sitting on a table in the office. The headline said "JUSTICE" in three-inch print.

JUSTICE
ZEAL AND FURY
FAITH AND DUTY
IMPERATOR VULT

My little brother posted as his Facebook status Matthew 5:43-46a.

DON'T GIVE A SHIT.

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

What if my neighbor is my enemy?
EH BIBLE? EH?

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?"

Your words are as empty as your deeds, Corpse God.

Frankly, right now, I'm proud to be his sister.

bin Laden was a murderer. By my best understanding of human justice, his life was forfeit three thousand times over. He would not have batted an eye at my death. This news is somewhat of a relief. But not entirely. He was a human being. God loved him. I won't celebrate the death of someone God loved.

Then die a traitor, scum.
Man my country would be hardcore.

You know what's great about being honest and open?

Nothing?
Narrow is the way and shut is the heart.

I told a fair number of people at church about what happened at work. Which is not something I would have done in the past. My rationalizations were many and stupid: I didn't want to burden them, I didn't want to whine, I was ashamed, I didn't know how to say it properly. What I was doing? Depriving them of fellowship.

Fellowship is important I guess.
It is really hard to focus. I had a coke and an ice coffee so I am hyped as fuck right now.

I kill my pride. I stop hiding. I take the burden off my shoulders. I acknowledge my imperfection. Others see I'm not perfect. Perhaps they're emboldened to stop hiding as well.

And it's the end of the worst semester ever. I have so much to be thankful for.
PRAISE BE TO ME WHO ENDURES ALL.

Today it just hit home, how church is family. Families, by definition, are people you're stuck with by virtue of chance. There's no merit involved: whether born or adopted or married into it, you're family.

Pretty sure God said in the Bible he elects the worthies to be with worthy families or something.
That's right now accept your lot, peasant.

Did you know that it is possible to feel an emotion strongly but not deeply? I've just figured this out. (Yep, I'm slow.)

Hate should be felt both strongly and deeply.
Oh fuck the rest of this blog.
I don't give a fuck about your dumb chorus nonsense or who said what at church. Be less of a boring cunt please.

We are all pawns in Zeus' great game

And we should be thankful for the part we play.
Hoooo boy let's discuss some motherfucking shit.
I don't even know where to start with this shit. I guess "the start" is the most logical place.
In fact, yeah, let's discuss this fucking title: "Nii-san is all that matters."
If you're not a weeaboo cunt then you probably don't know what the fuck that means but Nii-san is a friendly (sort of) way of saying "big brother".
So already I'm getting some creepy vibes but let's read on. I'm sure there's a perfectly rational explanation.
Also I can't help but notice two of the most common tags are "depression" and "ramblings" so I HAVE A GOOD FEELING.

If you arrived at your front door and saw your first love standing there, what would you do or say?

"BOUNGIORNO" then I'd close the door because who the fuck are you and what are you doing on my doorstep?

First & Last Love= Onii-chan.

I would say: "Let's be together forever, Onii-chan <3~!"

>/////<

You'll always have my heart, Onii-chan~

If a girl said this to me I'd punch her in the cunt.
I was about to say "if she's not Japanese" and I'm not sure what made me want to qualify that. No, under no circumstances should you say this shit to me.

If a movie was made of your life, what actor would you want to play the lead? What about the romantic interest?

I sat here for like 5 minutes trying to think of an actor that wasn't active before 1989 and I couldn't fucking do it.
I'm just going to say Clint Eastwood circa 1965 for me and Vivian Hsu in a reference so obscure I startle even myself.

Actor: Me. There's definitely no one who could do it better!
Romantic interest: Onii-chan!! Onii-chan!! Onii-chan! *Falls over* Hahaha! No one in this world but Onii-chan <3~!

Whoops, my nose is bleeding just thinking about it... oAo

>what actor
>implying you're an actress

Also I'm purposefully ignoring the other shit because I'm about to get fucking angry.

Recently, I've been eating more frequently and in larger portions. It's like the more I eat, the emptier I feel. I don't even care about being slender anymore.

SO HUNGRY

I'm so stressed out about studying and university right now, and I'll be taking classes all year round for the next two years...my head's in a mess.

WHATCHA STUDYIN'?
Something uuuuuseful, I'm sure.

Even the world's gone topsy-turvy right now... I just hope that the situation in Japan won't get worse...I send my wishes out to those unfortunate people.

Please come back, Onii-chan. I miss you...

ONIIIIII-CHAN God I want to hit you.

People are liars.

People are inherently greedy.

Side note: I feel like throwing up. My head's all blank.

Yeah-- what?
And the rest is just a note to herself:

I will fall asleep tonight

Ok.
Now here's a post entitled "outfits I want people to buy me" but all the pictures are animu, soooooooooooooooooo--

I need to moe about Kazuki from Kage Tsuki. 萌え！！！！

すうううううううううううううううごいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいいい
Holy shit.

With the way things have gone, I probably have just written something terribly offensive.

Offensive to the senses, maybe. She wrote "MOE" which is difficult to translate into English but it's kind of like being young and cute at the same time but really just translates to fucking annoying in my book.

Why does every day seem harder than the last one?

The only easy day was yesterday.
Except tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be far easier than today.

I have no f**king clue.

Sorry, but I have to rant. Yes, I'm being a bitch.

Holy goddamn I have to take a piss all of a sudden.

Stress tends to make me that way. I'm already procrastinating, I don't need anymore of this.

I have several (more than I can handle) midterms within the next few weeks, plus weekly homework and assignments.

Man that was a good one. I actually feel lighter now.

I don't understand aggregate demand/ supply shock and the returning to long-run aggregate supply. I wil get it soon enough.

aggregate demand I'm guessing is the demand any discreet group will have for a resource and supply shock is when a sudden influx of a resource goes unnoticed because of the previous relative scarcity of the resource?
Literally just guessing.
So 5 hours later I finally looked it up and it's some shit I was kind of close on one but not so much on the other.

What was the last juicy generalization from which you freed yourself? What caused your perspective to change?

Generalize always.

That anyone not a believer in a religion would go to hell. The turning point is when I saw people I dislike as believers of religion and decided that heaven and hell aren't so different if they'll be "saved".

ZZZZZZZZZZZZEUS.
We are all bound for Hades, though.
Pindar has this to say:

And those that have three times kept to their oaths,

Keeping their souls clean and pure,

Never letting their hearts be defiled by the taint

Of evil and injustice,

And barbaric venality,

They are led by Zeus to the end:

To the palace of Kronos

HEAR THAT YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES? KEEP YOUR OATHS AND DON'T BE TRAITOROUS SCUM.

So, I was procrastining on something that was supposed to be memorized by tomorrow, but whatever. I was watching the fourth episode of hatsukoi limited with Koyoi's brocon, and I decided to surf the net and see what people think of these complexes.

AND ZEUS ALSO SAID DON'T FUCK YOUR RELATIVES.
Actually that was Apollo but whatever same pantheon, same rules to live by.
With the Old Gods the rules are very simple.

Inside anime forums, for the most part, people said having romantic feelings for a sibling/ sibling complex was disgusting. A few others said that it's not their problem, so they don't have the right to judge. I'm one of those people. I think that people that have siblings and have sibling complexes are possible, despite claims from people (even animes!) that people who don't have siblings are the only ones to have sibling complexes.

So--
wait, what?

I have a brother, but when I watch anime/read manga, and I see a protective big brother who's really nice to his younger siblings, I'll think: "I wish I had an older brother like him". I'm not sure if this is a sibling complex, but I may have proved these naysayers wrong. It's possible, I think, to have a sibling complex, though usually it's not towards your actual sibling, but towards a character that you think would make the best sibling ever, as in you wouldn't mind having a complex towards him/her.

OH MY GOD THIS IS THE MOST CONFUSING FUCKING THING EVER CAN'T YOU PEOPLE BE ATTRACTED TO THINGS I UNDERSTAND SO I DON'T HAVE TO READ THIS SHIT LATER?

Then I went onto forums that were related to this, but talked about it in reality. Boy, was that a whole 'nother can of worms. I'll sum in up: People there think that a sibling complex will ALWAYS (and I'm not talking generally, I'm saying "Every time") lead to sex, and babies with birth defects, backward thinking, and continued generations of inbreeding. What?

What?
What?
What?

People tack on the complex as always "lust, not love".

Here, let me make this simple for you people.
So lately in my new classroom that I'm now teaching in (long story) and there's this inclusion teacher (longer story) and he has an assistant (assistant to an assistant, what) but before I could make any jokes at all I noticed she was pretty fucking nice and she's totally been flirting ever since.
Which hasn't gone unnoticed.
END OF STORY.
We're not related, she's not a man, I'm not a gender confused, pre-op transsexual lesbian--
this is a simple tale.
In fact most of it was setting up unrelated shit.

How do they know? I'd think the bond between family was a little closer to love, not the drunken one-night stands between unrelated strangers.

Although ironically the thing that brought her into my class was incest.
Oedipus Rex~

Not the girls who seek out an attractive guy because of his "package". I am not saying that people who molest their siblings are in love, hell no. Also, I'm not talking about people who get a kick out of the forbidden.

Seeking the forbidden--
isn't that the goal in life?

But I'm talking about a character crushing on a sibling because they believe that they feel the safest with them and know that their sibling has the ideal traits they look for in a romantic partner. Is that lust? Are they all simply horny perverts and in need of a release?

Apollo will put a plague on your city for that shit.
And praise be to the Plaguebringer.
Lycian Apollo, engineer of all hellish disease and pox and plague and withering blight of the field.

What about the people who keep on dating people who abuse them? Is that love, not lust just because they're not related?

And the cure to all our woes.

I'm not denying that sexual feelings wouldn't occur (it would be foolish to say that two people with romantic feelings would never want to have relations, even if it's illegal), but what if both people didn't have the ability to reproduce?

Wow, what are we talking about? I was talking about this girl at my horrible school and then I kind of got sidetracked.

I mean, I understand the deformed babies and how it would be unjust and cruel to bring them into the world if you knew there was a really high certainty of them having to live a hard life. But what if you weren't bringing children into the world? What then?

That's why you pick people who look different from you.
I mean fuck, the Lord Jesus didn't die on a cross for you to just marry the girl next door.

I think anime/manga forums are more accepting because everything is more theoretical, which may seem hypocritical. And I love watching siblings with complexes in anime/manga. I haven't seen any in real life, so I'm not sure if they exist.

How is it every anime I have ever seen in my entire life avoids complex issues like siblings fucking?
Fist of the North Star: Kenshiro loves YUUUUUURIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and he'll do anything to get her back from Shin so he fucking kills people until he gets her back but then she kills herself (but not really) and he decides to create a better world.
END OF STORY.
Except for the part where she's the secret descendant of the Nanto house and actually lives only to reunite with Kenshiro later but we're getting off topic.
Gundam 0083: Ensign Kou Uraki wants to bone this Nina Purpleton girl but she's kind of a cunt but then she's kind of nice but then she betrays him and the crazy kids work it out anyway.
END OF STORY.

People sound like it'd be better to hate your sibling (want to kill him/her)/have sex with a hooker than have any romantic feelings for a sibling.

Better to hate than spawn a mutant, yes.
Here's her "song list" and it starts with:

I Hate Everything About You - 3 Days Grace

I don't even know what that is but it sounds fucking amazing.

I should take a poll: Which is better to play downloaded games (iso's)? The PSP Go or PSP 3000.

I didn't know the PSP 3000 was hackable.

Even after my fruitless searching, I learned that .iso's can't be converted to UMDs or .elf files.

And about a UMD emulator. Does it allow you to use it with the PSP emulator?

UMD emulator-- what
Do you mean an ISO mounter?
Well I think that's about enough for today. Usually I like to end on a stronger note than this but nope, I'm done.
Fuck it.
