Is it selfish to ask my family if I can go to flag day as well as the retreat I'm going to?

I paid my own way for the retreat and I'll pay for my own match ticket too.

If I could do long distance travel on my own this wouldn't be an issue.

I wonder how much bearing that one medical mistake had on my entire existence.

Should I start a thread about unexplained phenomenon we've personally experienced or are in the family history?

Also: They made a Corgi Pokemon for Pokemon Sword and Shield!

Might I say how I like your thumbnail Laeril?. Wouldn't think to see Cate Blanchett like that.

2.9/4.0 GB of data used already :( >:( ?!. Have I really been that careless?. I remember maybe on 5th, I was up to ~1.2 GB. What annoys me is that I am going to have to be really careful until after the 26th when I re-new my cycle. I'm thankful for the 4 'gigs' my sister gave me but this recent rate of usage is annoying and it's not like I always watch youtube videos while not on wi-fi as fond as I am of the access.

How very millennial is my tone , '~' -~- ?.

As much as I think about kyriarchy,intersectionality and have a strong distaste for swearing, the double standard of watching foul-mouthed crass comedy esp. if it's based on black culture or Ebonics* is something I will no longer deny. Pop culture, current and pre-internet, my siblings tastes in music (still somewhat with my brother but not my sister) and having own 'dirty glee' at seeing persons, *English speaking* persons of a certain minority express tempermental-ness and struggle get an unfortunate and problematic amount of attention for that and an interdependent 'collective inferiority complex' infamously developed for reasons outside of their control most often...'_'...how do I 'balance that out' or has my self-awareness present and past been enough?.

Freaking out

Gaining weight

Eating too much

The penis gets on my nerves

:cry:

It keeps kicking me out of the bathroom

Saying "what" instead of excuse me"

Offering me cheap s**t right after I finished eating

:cry:


50.3 kg does not sound like a lot

But it's the pattern

Flipping out and s**t

Precious lil "people" look so happy and well adjust

And I don't fit in anywhere


:mrgreen:


Autism

Other trans look like they are doing well at work and friends

But that's social media

Not representative sample

Not videotape

Not stalking

Don't get along with "most people"

"Be true to yourself" means no friends and no job


"For you"

Although betraying yourself, also means no friends and no job


:roll:


So maybe the advice is good

Less wrong


:mrgreen:

"Actions speak louder than words"

"Loose lips sink ships"

Significant digits


:mrgreen: :cry:


Entitled lil dips**ts act like they have a moral right to be happy at all times and if they are not happy someone must have violated their stupidass "rights"



You have a right to remain silent


Nobody has a "right to live"

Disease

Death penalty

Military

Abortion

Whatever

Everyone is ignorant. Everyone has bacteria. Everyone is going to drop dead.



Wish I were a skinny smart handsome cisgender neurotypical white man

Like mister redelings

LGBT is not "survival of the fittest"

LGBT is not practical

Too ideal

The world is still too homophobic

Feel like I have to wear a hood and look less like a woman

But at 36 it is hard to look like a boy

And rapidly getting worse s**t


Vulnerable

Not enough resources to win competition with lil dips**ts

Bad habit

Craving

"Most people" are so manipulative and judgmental


Not bad attitude

Some bad attitude


:mrgreen:


Period coming soon

Epoch

Video games

Nothing to do all day long

Waiting for the next meal


Waiting to drop dead


:roll: inciting a riot :roll:

Court mandated financial reparations

Apology

Time machine

Love

Accept



:D



Getting more emotionally fragile the older I get


Rapidly


Annoyed


Edgy



High strung


:mrgreen:

well-placed swearing doesn't bother me anymore. it has its uses. if you swear after bumping your head on the corner of a cabinet door, the pain will actually decrease.

All these years and I still love how with a serious treatment the original ‘Elite four’ seem so bad— and imposing from 0:00-1:10.

Do you feel the same when it’s supposedly a bona fide component of a minority’s vernacular to the extent that there identity is debated when it’s diminished?. As usual, your response is appreciated.

Bobby...

I need to quit obsessing over someone from school when we're now in our 30s. But he turned out to be so cool.

Also he looks like Paddy Roberts. No wonder I was obsessed with KT and Paddy a few years ago.

Nutritionist and psychiatrist appointment today

Wonder what could go wrong

:mrgreen:

Been eating way too much

Need counseling

But the insurance only covers certain counselors

They are obsessed with the Mandated Reporter law

Complimentsf

Judgemental

Wrong assumptions

Manipulating

They act like they dragged my worthless corpse out of a burning building


They were just doing their job


They won't let me disagree with them

They use condescending terminology

They tell you, your reaction, instead of what they did wrong

Attitude


:mrgreen:

It might do. Especially if you're into STEM stuff. I bet a lot of people who ignored Mark Zuckerberg aren't ignoring him anymore.

I'm a poet. Maybe people notice/remember me. Maybe not. I'm in the limelight but not that much.

Our school was great, I was actually popular there because it was all based around who the slightly geeky/artistic kids were. Teenagers always base popularity on shallow things, I just got lucky.
***
Ugh my mother described me yesterday as 'always going into everything 100% and getting burned out by it' and I told her 'because otherwise I'm scared I'll not go into it at all' and it's true. Possibly an aspie thing.

dunno. i'm not exposing myself to a lot of other cultures regularly. constant swearing does make me feel threatened. (my dad was a swearer and a threatener.) a couple of other notes about swearing: swearers tend to be honest. smart swearers use a wider variety of "objectionable" words.

colbert said he's starting a new segment: guess what state this happened in. nevermind, it's florida.

then he said a florida burger king had to send a memo to employees not to use the floor mop on tables.
