When I was 12 I decided I was gonna be a prophet and I immediately started making up prophecies because I thought I needed to practice and develop the skill. Like obviously it makes sense that most people who try to predict the future get it wrong, they're probably still getting the hang of it.

#i actually also did this at that exact age#some of them “came true” if you squint in disastrous ways

Mine were consistently wrong enough that for a while I thought I was some sort of reverse prophet whose visions only foretold what wouldn't happen and that I could therefore predict the future obliquely through elimination

“Europe is literally the creation of the Third World. The wealth which smothers her is that which was stolen from the underdeveloped peoples. The ports of Holland, the docks of Bordeaux and Liverpool were specialized in the Negro slave trade, and owe their renown to millions of deported slaves. So when we hear the head of a European state declare with his hand on his heart that he must come to the aid of the poor underdeveloped peoples, we do not tremble with gratitude.”

the idea of going to the movies alone being like sad and pathetic is crazy to me like thats barely a social event to me. If you try to talk to me during a movie at the movies I will kill you.

"enjoy it while it lasts" (undercuts itself, needlessly doomerish, foreboding)

"enjoy it!" (straight to the point, actually encourages enjoying it)

[i-am-a-fish]

"enjoy last it'll it" (what)

I’d die on the hill that “stranger danger” is a deeply unhelpful mentality to have. “Ooooh everyone is out to get me they’re all gonna perpetrate harm that’s actually more likely to come from someone I already know. I better never talk to anyone in my community who I don’t already know, just to be safe. I’m sure there are no other biases interwoven with this mentality” like oh my god human traffickers do not just randomly spawn in every parking lot. You don’t have to go solo hitchhiking across the country but you also don’t have to live in fear that every guy on the street is the knife man who’s gonna get you. Like have situational awareness, yeah. But most of the time the guy on the street is not knife man he’s actually just a guy on the street and he’s probably pretty chill, and you’re driving yourself crazy by living in a constant state of unnecessary fear.

Thinking about a new bit where i start using “workers of the world” as my go-to second person plural pronoun. Like “chat”.
