I am so happy.
A lot of the crowd was pretty shit, but it was a phenomenal show nonetheless.
Probably the closest I will ever come to a religious experience.
I was bound to lose one eventually
With the power of Jeff Mangum invested in me, I crown myself first-time winner of this event.
I appreciate the feedback, thank u.
I think that you like the “idea”
or at least the tangible concept.
and I know that you’re really high right now
on power - perceived - or guilt - also-
or whatever
are you even conscious?
I’ve just got this all in my mouth.
I just can’t tell ‘cause your breathing is slow
and leaking and labored
eyes barely open and shifting slow like
they’re trying to match the noises falling
from my tongue tip to the shapes that
you half-learned to make sense of on
paper in grade school.
This or that.
To be dealt with when you remember.
This girl that I used to be friends with in middle school friend requested me on facebook. I accepted, remembering the times we hung out during lunch and when we were in French class together, and when she came to my birthday party that one time when she came back to New York to visit after she had moved. Her parents are missionaries.
Anyway, I accepted the request and this was one of the things that she had posted.
It took all of my willpower not to correct her on the internet. You know, the whole “On the contrary, it’s 3% or less of ‘profit’, they do a lot of important stuff like, I don’t know, testing and general doctor’s visits for women and men, and they don’t just suck your uterus dry all willy-nilly like, and that comparing PP to Auschwitz is like comparing your parents, (the missionaries), to Hitler” thing.
The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology has dealt a devastating blow to the notion that men and women are fundamentally different when it comes to how they think and act.
“Although gender differences on average are not under dispute, the idea of consistently and inflexibly gender-typed individuals is,” Bobbi J. Carothers of Washington University in St. Louis and Harry T. Reis of the University of Rochester explained in their study. “That is, there are not two distinct genders, but instead there are linear gradations of variables associated with sex, such as masculinity or intimacy, all of which are continuous.”
Analyzing 122 different characteristics from 13,301 individuals in 13 studies, the researchers concluded that differences between men and women were best seen as dimensional rather than categorical. In other words, the differences between men and women should be viewed as a matter of degree rather than a sign of consistent differences between two distinct groups.
yep yep
Religious leaders, educators, self help authors, and shitty stand up comedians please do the honorable thing and publicly kill self thanks in advance
