Tourist roastie. How prominent are your nasolabial folds? If you had pronounced nasolabial folds before hitting 24, you will age badly. Men can notice these things. They don't really know that they notice it, like men don't typically know what nasolabial folds are, but they will just KNOW when they look at your face that you are "older," not at your peak anymore. That starts hitting around 23-24. There is a distinct "look" that you get when you're 25-ish, it's the 25-ish look. Men don't know what it is, but they know it smells like "ah she's not a young fun 20 year old anymore."

You should not spend time on 4chan. Get a boyfriend. I am serious, this is an attempt to help you. Think of how sad it is that you're on 4chan, which you don't even like, talking to people you don't even like, and you're not with a guy with long term prospects. Do you realize how little time you have? Do you know how fast a year of your twenties just up and vanishes? Fast. The years 20-30 go by in what seems like 3 or 4 years. It's a downhill slide after you leave college.

Imagine hitting 28 and being the sister/cousin in the family who still doesn't have a boyfriend, with no hope in sight. Imagine being on Bumble at age 28. Seriously, imagine it. This is not a joke post, you need to get off 4chan and get a boyfriend right now. I know you don't come here often but every second you continue to waste here, deriving no joy from it, is a bad idea. You know as well as I do that you could just as easily browse your twitter (if normie thot) or your discord (if egirl thot), and at least it wouldn't leave you feeling drained and out of place. You could then use that extra energy to get a boyfriend.

I like 4chan, and have for years. I take a break here when I have a moment. One needs adult banter after being around children all day.
I like most of the people here, and those I don't like I mainly just feel sorry for - can you guess which you are?

Now, let's apply what your wrote to you:
>Get a friend (boy? girl? I don't know which way you go, and I'm not going to be mean and say your anger stems from confusion about your sexual identity). I am serious, this is an attempt to help you. Think of how sad it is that you're on 4chan, which you don't even like, talking to people you don't even like, and you have no long term prospects.

Does it fit?

Was it bad?

When day comes we ask ourselves,
where can we find light in this never-ending shade?
The loss we carry,
a sea we must wade
We've braved the belly of the beast
We've learned that quiet isn't always peace
And the norms and notions
of what just is
Isn't always just-ice
And yet the dawn is ours
before we knew it
Somehow we do it
Somehow we've weathered and witnessed
a nation that isn't broken
but simply unfinished
We the successors of a country and a time
Where a skinny Black girl
descended from slaves and raised by a single mother
can dream of becoming president
only to find herself reciting for one
And yes we are far from polished
far from pristine
but that doesn't mean we are
striving to form a union that is perfect
We are striving to forge a union with purpose
To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and
conditions of man
And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us
but what stands before us
We close the divide because we know, to put our future first,
we must first put our differences aside
We lay down our arms
so we can reach out our arms
to one another
We seek harm to none and harmony for all
Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:
That even as we grieved, we grew
That even as we hurt, we hoped
That even as we tired, we tried
That we'll forever be tied together, victorious
Not because we will never again know defeat
but because we will never again sow division
Scripture tells us to envision
that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid
If we're to live up to our own time
Then victory won't lie in the blade
But in all the bridges we've made
That is the promise to glade
The hill we climb
If only we dare
It's because being American is more than a pride we inherit,
it's the past we step into
and how we repair it
We've seen a force that would shatter our nation
rather than share it
Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy
And this effort very nearly succeeded
But while democracy can be periodically delayed
it can never be permanently defeated
In this truth
in this faith we trust
For while we have our eyes on the future
history has its eyes on us
This is the era of just redemption
We feared at its inception
We did not feel prepared to be the heirs
of such a terrifying hour
but within it we found the power
to author a new chapter
To offer hope and laughter to ourselves
So while once we asked,
how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe?
Now we assert
How could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?
We will not march back to what was
but move to what shall be
A country that is bruised but whole,

(Continued)

[Anonymous No.17348914]

>>17348908
benevolent but bold,
fierce and free
We will not be turned around
or interrupted by intimidation
because we know our inaction and inertia
will be the inheritance of the next generation
Our blunders become their burdens
But one thing is certain:
If we merge mercy with might,
and might with right,
then love becomes our legacy
and change our children's birthright
So let us leave behind a country
better than the one we were left with
Every breath from my bronze-pounded chest,
we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one
We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the west,
we will rise from the windswept northeast
where our forefathers first realized revolution
We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the midwestern states,
we will rise from the sunbaked south
We will rebuild, reconcile and recover
and every known nook of our nation and
every corner called our country,
our people diverse and beautiful will emerge,
battered and beautiful
When day comes we step out of the shade,
aflame and unafraid
The new dawn blooms as we free it
For there is always light,
if only we're brave enough to see it
If only we're brave enough to be it

At least this has moments of breaking from esoterism of the bland and vague language to narrate something of a story. yes it is basic, therein fitting for Americans; low IQ, therein fitting for a Biden presidency.

Sure, the thing is aimed and written specifially for the occasion, but to pull it off in that way is really impressive. She stuttered once but kept going, and that’s fucking impressive too, considering that tens, maybe hundreds, of millions of people are watching you.

It adresses the sense of disillusionment and disparity and turns it with witty alitterations and rhymes into hopefullness. It’s simple the way it should be for the masses to accept it as ”poetry that isn’t so difficult”. Basically a mix of rap and poetry. Ye thats what slam is, but still. For what it was supposed to be, i’d almost say it’s perfect, even though i know this makes you writhe.

2. Im not pretending she didn’t get woke points. Doesn’t mean she sucks though. I honestly believe that it’s a good thing she did it. Our generation(s) will see it as forced, but the next will more probably see it as natural. And what would benefit both you and me (and pol) is more black people seeing white career paths as options in life, rather than only having the option of hair salon/ nail parlor booty hoes and gangsta niggas.

Racist but true. The reason we have /pol/ is because of people like you who focus more on things being politically correct than on dealing with the problem. BLM is just making things worse.
For real emancipation we need identification with the whole spectrum of society for all races. So what if some get a few woke points in the process, that’s a loss less dangerous than the path we’re on now. If future kids grow up and think a black chick speaking at a presidential inauguration isn’t a big deal, that’s worth a bit of sacrifice of political correctess.
