Hey, I find my words of wisdom where I can. By the time I met that Indian kid on my path, I had no need to kill him. We just nodded to each other as equals and went our ways.
One hand clapping sounds like a ruptured eardrum.
Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Give a fish a man and he can eat for weeks.
Give a man a fire and he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.
Two men walked into a bar. The third ducked.
The first man saw the bar across his path and warned, “duck!” The second looked up, “duck? Where?”

Since I’m shooting sacred cows today, how about we admit you can rape a woman into loving you? It works on men, too, but f→m rape is basically impossible. Straight women need to use deceit to open the door. I understand there’s a top/bottom thing with gay men; I posit you can only rape a bottom into submission and need to use deceit to bend a top to your will, but that’s just speculation.
Think about marriage throughout the ages and cultures. Romantic love doesn’t come into it anywhere. A father passed his daughter to a man in his community, who then raped her into submission. That’s why women wear skirts, if you never figured that out. So they can be raped. Joan of Arc, who was a national hero for leading soldiers, got burned at the stake for wearing pants so they couldn’t rape her. That’s how important rape is to jesus. They were actually going to let her go after having the church rape her into submission for a couple years, but her soldiers liked her and smuggled her in some pants. True story.
Also, for any other old cunts like me, the whole pants-around-the-knees thing with Black kids is advertising their gayness. It’s what’s taught in prisons—learn to enjoy your rape. Wearing them that way announces that their pants are easy to remove. Same as JdeA, but from the flip side.
I disagree with using rape for social control, but I don’t get a voice.

Anyway my mother is one of those first gen feminists who only cared about one generation of middle class white women. She taught me about the skirt thing, and now is totally cool with sex trafficking as long as she gets a little piece of the pie. The money pie, that is. Nothing hairy.
No wonder they thought I’d be a monster.
I got sealed inside too young.
I wish someone would talk to me like a human being. It really is crazy making when you can’t trust anything in your world. I’m pretty sure some faction of national or global spook shit somewhere is positively disposed toward me, or at least leaving exotic books where I can find them. If that’s all they got, I dunno. Social skills are skills, not knowledge. Skills need practice, and I know not how to practice except by pulling people out of the matrix first so we can communicate on the same level.

I’m proof that you can’t fully atomize a slave society. The right wing are correct—contraception has to go. Society can’t adapt to women who aren’t subject, first and only, to their reproductive organs. If everyone are slaves, the useful ones need one slave of their own to take out the frustration of being a slave. There’s no practical reason, these days, to put men over women. It could just as well be the other way around, but tradition.

The DEA is just the taliban. Check out the scheduling of x. Basically, the doctors said it’s harmless and helpful in therapy, the law said it shouldn’t be restricted much, and the DEA said, “fuck you guys, we get what we want!” and made it schedule 1, with other nasty drugs like heroin, lsd, and weed. Does anyone but me think it’s silly to rank weed over cocaine and fent? How about dope over fent? ‘Splain that one, please. Also explain why cocaine isn’t considered addictive enough to be without medical use but weed is.
All drug policy is matrix. Quick history—everybody came back from the civil war hooked on morph. For the next 40 years, that was enough for a scrip. In the previous set of naughts before those just past, the lords made a rule change and an addiction was no longer reason enough for a script. All the narcotics people subbed the only thing available, and started drinking. We created a million and a half problematic drunks with that move but, ten years later, rather than give them real rehab, we invented AA. All that public self-abasement? That’s just evangelical xtianity. The xtians strung you out on whatever was your problem in order to use social pressure to bring you back to jeebus. They needed a black market so they banned yeast shit for a decade or two. Remember—if you can see the obvious consequence of an action, so could the professionals who took that action. The lords created organized crime because they needed to do things like decompose me on the long finger. Totally deniably.
I was waiting tables when georgie2 came into office and perc10s started showing up for the first time, long before anybody’d ever heard of oxycontin. It was just a change in prescribing laws. Under clinton, you had to demonstrate and addiction before they moved you up to 10s. Ergo, anybody who got 10s kept them. They never ended up on the black market. But hey—we don’t like government regulation, right? No messing with the free market? Why /don’t/ we let big pharma run the recreational drugs as well? I bet the death rate went way up since they threw all the oxy addicts over to black market fent. That stuff was never my flavor, but my understanding is that morphine is preferred anyway. We had it right the first time.
