@Imperial Seal Pupper Are you self-actualizing and becoming who you want to be though?

Yup

need to go do some shit brb

mmm interesting and complex concepts re: dolls, @Happy Humble Hermit

Operating and learning how machinery works has always been a of interest to me

@Ironbard So have we all been, brother. Better to be awake to regret it.

Hear hear!

how was it Sagan used to say

I like art. I like great art. Especially novels and poems. I don’t really like plays but I like Joseph Addison, Shakespeare, Aristophanes, Aeschylus because they’re classics. I guess Tennessee Williams too

Most of them are dead white men, and the professors won’t be having any of that.

he had a great quote to that effect

@lotodantes Aristophanes was one red pill motherfucker. Truly the art surpassing the artist.

here it was: "Better by far to embrace the hard truth, than a reassuring fable."

Also I’m Asian, but I’m adopted by a low income, really messed up white family with a history of substance abuse, domestic abuse, and an abusive older brother.

But I got my shit FUCKED in admissions for being Asian.

In short: take the red pill

@lotodantes I can relate to you on that

I like that quote @Ironbard

@lotodantes I'm black and I also grew up under a low income white family with all kinds of fucked up problems

I look hapa and I’m not East Asian. I’m actually from Kazakhstan, so I look Russian but with a hint of Genghis Khan. I’m about a 6/10 or 7/10 if I dress nice

But as soon as I say “I’m Asian” they assume I like math and socially awkward and weak. I play basketball and read poems lol

I'm the only one out of that whole family made it out alright

Exactly. Shit sucks. Cultural Marxism and intersectionality say that my entire identity is based on whatever race I am. And that’s some bullshit

@Imperial Seal Pupper You should look up more of his stuff then, it's poignant and beautiful. And personally it gives me a semblance of peace.

@Kaiser Dion Napoleon I'm white and I also grew up under a low income white family with a handful of fucked up problems.

It HAS to be at the individual level. Western civilization figured this out millenniaago, and they’re tearing it all down

Race matters only so far as how racist the people you encounter, that's it

I mean, most white people didn’t have liveable conditions until last century or so, at least in American

May you send me links to my dm so I can look at it after college @Ironbard

Sure man, no prob.

All the girls in my family are low income trash popping out babies like no tomorrow

@lotodantes If anything, you would be considered "south asian", but otherwise you're more "Russian" than anything else.
