And you pull out
And her pulled with you
Her uterus prolapsed from youse two.

Your cock is hard to continue
She turns you over
Her cunt in you.

Really fascinating so far, but it's more of a study of populations/cultures than the way that language influences thought. I should've expected it, but there are so few linguistics courses offered around here (I'm at a community college).

Still, it's interesting to see cultural identity related to language as well as the way that various countries/groups have handled policy as far as things like establishing a national language or trying to create a cultural identity through language and culture.

Not a major, but I'm doing a linguistic anthro course at the moment.

I just use train or airplane tickets, or scraps of paper.

I have a cardboard box. Books go inside of the box, box goes inside of backpack.

The problem isn't beliefs. The problem is when you start getting wrapped up in ideas that don't apply very well to your situation.

For instance, my friend's girlfriend texted him a good morning, one hi during the day, and one goodnight, and he got on her case for being "clingy", saying that three texts in a row are unacceptable. That's the kind of shit we do to ourselves because we've grown up seeing and using patterns to get ahead intellectually while having a stunted emotional growth.

socialization is something you have to approach on your own terms, but just try to have fun with it. Say things you like to say. Do things with people that you like to do.

My friends have widened my limited perspective greatly.

They expose me to ideas, differing frameworks for processing information, and provide opportunities that I would not have otherwise had. For instance, crashing at a friend's place out of town, or having my views challenged by someone who put just as much thought into theirs.

If I can't be the most physically powerful guy out there, I can at least be one of the most ruthless and let technology do the rest. There's a reason we wage war with guns and bombs and not martial arts.

Dear god.

that's actually been printed?

1. It is impossible to objectively measure intelligence
2. Race is a poorly defined pseudoscientific concept
3. Phenotype is an extremely limited expression or marker of genotype

So, no.

And honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing the other side every so often, but it's goddamn difficult to take it seriously when the few media outlets available are a fucking circus.

>>2456759
And the ones that aren't? How about those photoshopped images or collaged videos?

>>2456750
And you seem to assert that a biased conservative view trumps an unbiased liberal one.

>>2456750
You don't think it means something when a news source uses every method available to distort the truth?

>>2456728
If bias doesn't make a news source incorrect, why do you attack perceived liberal bias?

Fox news has been more demonstrably biased than any other media corporation I've seen.

And saying that we're enslaved to corporations is excessive, but I do believe that a livable wage would benefit us both socially and economically. Liquidity trap, bro.

Yo, are you one of those people who listens to limbaugh and believes that fox news has anything of value to say?

In the short run, things did get worse for freed slaves. Slaves being the expensive investments they were, the owners would at least do the absolute minimum to keep them alive/functional for as long as possible. Hiring them as labor, owners fucked them out of their wages and had them do more dangerous jobs.

It still reads as if you're trying to express the difficulty of your own station in life when you're milling about the internet, safe in your being and belongings. Naturally, this doesn't sit well with me.

On top of all that, your image made me think- what if it was a vn or videogame? You'd probably make the right choice, wouldn't you?

>>2456372
What, do you want sympathy?

You're coming to us for sympathy because you couldn't be assed to be a decent fucking person?

Basically the same as 4chan's overall userbase, then.

Only thing that surprises me is that anyone still admits to being underage.

Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy includes a guy who builds a house inside out, saying that he's made an asylum for the rest of the world

In a thread that asks for this shit off the cuff, I figured I wouldn't filter myself or do more than I felt like- which is of course me trying to rationalize and justify myself.

I'm just uncomfortable because I always sort of assumed that I could write at least one thing worth reading.

I'm Eric Culverano on that site
