I made this a few years ago and posted it on Reddit. It maybe got five likes. I haven’t posted on here often this past decade but maybe some of the old heads will enjoy this

people always assume the debate community is all “ooho! riddle me this,,,,” and “uhm ackshually facts don’t care about your feelings” when in reality it’s just radical anti-imperialism and existential discussions about humanity

I was going through my old notes from debate rounds and found a word document titled “I can’t say this but I want to” and upon reading it, I am glad that my past self was so quiet. Here’s some highlights:

“I don’t like you as a person, judge.”

“Guess what? I don’t care that you think the planet is dying!”

“My partner and i are right because we are. Any questions?”

“The opponent is thicc as hell. It’s incredibly distracting, therefore it is abuse of power.”

“Honestly, if I wasn’t trying to mentally and verbally destroy this guy, I’d tap that.”

“Can I go home yet?”

“Do you mind if I eat this right now? The people organizing the tournament were asshats and didn’t let us have lunch again.”

“Now, if  you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go cry about how the world is ending because the Affirmative’s plan has caused total nuclear destruction. Oh, wait, I can’t because we’re all dead.”

I’ll be adding more, since I’m going to more tournaments.

Hey Philosophy and/or Debate Peeps!

My coach really wants us to make like a Baudrillard aff. I am a small baby novice who is scared shitless of postmodernism. So if anyone can actually explain hyperreality in a way that makes sense that would help a lot!

I am going to be hella lame

Okay so I am 100% going to do very shitty speech and debate vlogs on YouTube because I'm a senior and why not. I will post the day after tournaments, and it will be super fun because I like to believe I'm a fun person so the this Sunday 9/12/17 I will post my first Vlog on YouTube I'll put up a link on my Tumblr so yeah

SO I SHOULD PROBABLY, ONCE AGAIN, EXPLAIN MY ABSENCE 

I don’t know how many of y’all are in speech in debate in your schools, but I am now in that this year. I had my first tournament. I’m in policy, meaning i have the longest rounds ever. I’ve gotten like maybe six hours totally sleep this weekend. and I fucking love it. 

So if any of you debate folks wanna hit me up and talk, please feel free to! God knows I need more exposure. I’m a novice that just started in varsity and that’s interesting

My coach, asking me to also tell some of the new kids about policy, along with our only team.

Me, who’s only experience with policy were in class debates, and the only part I remember was trying spread during my first ever speech (I don’t remember what I read) and my friend on the opposing team saying that Eminem has been real quiet since I dropped: “Uhhhhh”
