141·4 months agooh I’d teach 'em modern english, and then dump a truck load of People’s Magazine’s outside their hut
Going for a hunt today? Can’t. Need to know what Janniston said to Branjelo on page 4
Empathy tends to be a byproduct of considering another person’s point of view and not immediately assuming the worst. There is definitely intelligence there, if you are considering all angles
The enlightened masses constitute a percentage of the total population far lower than you’d think

Nope. I was the satellite friend. I orbit around other people’s friendships and made no effort to foster my own.
Do you ever wonder what the generation before ours was like? Like from the stories my dad tells, he was basically a cult leader of a bunch of teens in the street and would walk around barefoot preaching pop store politics, getting into traffic accidents and giving the police the run around, all consequence free. And then he grew up and became a functioning member of society.
Same with my grandparents generation. Kids would fall into wells, murder each other, lose limbs, be subject to all kinds of normalised abuse, and then just… grow up and become functioning members society. Neurotic, abusive, horrible people in some cases… but functioning members of society
Why them and not us? I’d say it’s because deep down everyone is a lunatic but if you have a job and a semi-permanent home, it normalizes you to some degree. You have a purpose and role in soceity, even if it’s a bullshit job. It’s a daily grind that synchronizes you to the schedules and goals of others and it’s stable enough that even someone with severe mental issues can follow.
Our generation does not seem to have the luxury of stable jobs and housing. So we’re nuts, but fewer and fewer of us have less means to normalize our neuroses under the guise of having a daily ritual, so our neuroses become our main defining features and this gets reported on a lot.
I hope the babysitting money was good!
