Only thing on my mind right now is thinking about the fact that my Mom might get back together with her husband again like she always does.

I'm very angry and feeling scared because I don't know if I can handle it again. I can't handle another trip to the crisis center for exploding. I don't know what to do. :cry:

I really wish that he would just die.

This reminds me of when I worked at the library.
I'd been there about one day when I asked why they were issuing resources the way they did, which was cumbersome and didn't make any sense to me.
The answer was "this is how we've always done it".
I talked to one of the other library assistants, who was a bit more progressive in their thinking, she talked to the head librarian and the resource issuing system ended up being totally overhauled.

I can't measure how often I ask people whom I've known for years, "Have you MET me?"

Still, I don't expect anyone to outdo my mom on that level. She will always see the world as she makes it in her mind. Her son can do all the things she admires in people, regardless of the persistent difficulties I've had doing exactly those things.

A visit from my mother.
I don't have enough worries already that she feels she has to come and critisize every f*****g thing I do and run down everyone I love.
I'm through with her.

The arrogant smug moronic troll is no longer a child. You can stop coddling him.

The 'Got Anything Random To Say' thread and now this

I am deeply disturbed after having acted on my morbid curiosity enough to watch a Ukrainian movie about a deaf student in 'The tribe'. Aside from feeling majorly conflicted about the sex scenes, I am not equipped to comment on the 'pre-natal termination' scene..

That was f---d up as far as what could be depicted in a movie--the sort of thing which 'throws me off' for a whole day until I feel 'safe' again the following day and dated sophomoric 'religiously based' intrusive thoughts as to whether it's commination or divine punishment which corresponded to Halloween or whether I am now obligated to view another movie in which a form of assisted death like euthanasia is present, in on my mind.

Although what is ultimately more relevant is making it to Saturday and expecting there to be someone else cooperative with me in the last event I will be dishwashing for at a stadium.

Thank you thread.

I can’t continue intellectual and artistic exploration while living with my parents. I can’t continue further intellectual and artistic exploration while living with my parents.

I need my own space d—- it.

I hate that so much. People who can't handle reality and try to fit it to their expectations are so annoying.

I risk a lot in skipping over the details and rationale for this. This could apply to a fair amount of my favourite philosophers as well.

Imo, for most of human history within the history of the ‘labor investment process/ (~(formal(?)), institutional) education and sadly still in much of the world, considering the rarified position within pre-existing classism and the consequent ‘knowledge makes right’ attitude of questionable entitlement due to that position most to a ‘fair amount’ of teaching staff/ teachers have consisted of ‘snobby a—holes’.

It is stupid when a teacher doesn’t care about what is being taught and/or the students. Believe me.

I had a good time last night at a concert I attended, except it was difficult because of the people sitting in front of me. They talked incessantly and loudly about nothing. I was tempted to tell them to shut up. Nobody cares about your family drama! That and they were playing with their phones. I have the decency to keep my phone in my purse and not disturb people.

Never trust a [man or age group demographic member] who says or thinks that when 'men cry they need help'--a part of my mind says.

I wish I could stay home and play Animal Crossing and Minecraft all day, and fold origami. I’m happiest hiding in the cute little worlds I create, and being surrounded by nice paper.

Due to being a drag and disappointing most other people cause my 'rage to be spread thin'.

All evidence suggests I'm effectively worthless. On some level, I see this as a problem with the world, but on the other hand there's no point in arguing.
