    There’s already people pointing smart cameras and mics hooked up to Meta that point at me everytime I go in public. That’s life in a major city where half the people have Facebook on their phone. The TVs have mics, there’s wifi security cameras everywhere with all kinds of terrible privacy policies. The smart glasses are tanking your anger right now but even if there were no glasses you are already surrounded

    So no, you impotent nerds aren’t going to punch your way out of this predicament. I bet most of you couldn’t punch your way out of any predicament

    ;p


  • tl;dr: At the start of middle school it was terrible, bullying and sadness but by the end I had lots of friends, self confidence, I was getting attention from girls, just a complete 180.

    6th grade, awful. Bullied, insecure egg. Very depressed

    7th grade I realized I was taller and bigger than most of the other kids. Parents made me play rec league basketball and I would foul out every game swinging on jocks I didn’t like. I also got into guns, airsoft, paintball, hunting, and knives that year. People pretty much completely stopped messing with me and I made friends. Still a depressed egg but it was much more bearable only feeling bad because of what’s in my head vs how other people treated me

    8th grade I started dressing better. People sometimes would ask if I was emo if I wore all black but not in a bullying way. I had long hair and I started straightening it. I’d tell people I was metrosexual and somehow never got made fun to my face for it. I was still repping guns was identity and knocking people over, smacking kids playing basketball. Still a depressed egg tho

    I’m paying 3x my states monthly minimum wage for hourly workers to own in a fairly modest 1100 sqft house in a semi walkable area in a major city.

    Before here I used to pay my states monthly minimum wage for hourly workers to live in a fucking slum just outside the city. House was by an interstate so I got soot on anything I left outside, all the houses in the neighborhood were water damaged and molded to hell, the roads were so cracked it was fucking up cars, and everyone who lived there seemed miserable.

    It’s grind or die, I got so fucking sick living in alleged affordable housing. Nerve damage and all kinds of weird chronic health problems from living in such a toxic death trap for years. They don’t call it the Dirty South for nothing, this place is completely fucked.
