Whoever said liberals don't understand class politics?

You as well hehe 
Believe it or not, if being alive was a crime many people would be criminals!

Am I a masochist because the feeling of pain makes me feel less guilty? It's like I'm being punished. It makes me feel like it evens out the score a bit.
What am I scoring myself against? Uh ... I don't know exactly. The universe? For what crime? For being alive pretty much ...
The systemic problem is the existence of the market. That cannot be fixed so easily.
It's better this way. "Behave or else" is better than a blanket death penalty which has many problems.
Being a girl really is cute ngl
Lunch lady commands me to give my glasses to her
I obliged with 0 hesitation
She cleans them and hands them back to me
"Much better, right"
"Yes ..."
"You gave me your glasses with 0 hesitation, you trust me that much?"
"Yes ..."
"If I asked for your wallet, would you also give it?"
"I don't have a wallet but if I had one, yes"

Thank you sister terminal. You've been very patient with me.
Humans are not born to die alone, it takes at least 2 people to make another human and so you should say we are born to be together.
And yet I know deep down I will still live and die alone. How else can I cope but by pretending that this is how it is meant to be?
Your family system appears to be pushing a lot of guilt (maybe abuse?) on you and have done so for a long time.
This is true. The abuse part as well. There were severe violations of my bodily autonomy that fucked me up. Guilt tripping was there. I had to stay in the closet leading to a complete inability for me to explain what was wrong with me. But I couldn't maintain a good facade and fought with them everyday.
And so, I would guess, your view on what love is is entangled with notions of obligation, focusing on others comfort, guilt and shame.
I know and I can't do anything about it. It's tied to my sense of pride. If I don't fulfill my obligations I feel like I ripped off someone who deserved better.
I do!
I went to bed earlier yesterday for this reason. It just made me wake up earlier!
I've been in a wierd state since about 3 AM this morning where no matter what I can't go back to sleep but my head hurts so much.
Currently 5:30 AM. Past 2 and a half hours of conciousness have been rough. But the rest of the day should go fine once I fully wake up.
Slight correction. WW2 was what made the dollar into the global reserve currency. The petrodollar is what allowed the value of the dollar to remain despite them dropping the gold standard.

Dunking on r/neoliberal.
Not a low hanging fruit, but a root vegetable.
Still, comments on this relatively divided. Of course, some quite abysmal takes in there about how a prospective dem president should basically lie to the electorate and increase military spending after the campaign without saying so on the trail.
Basically, fuck democracy, we need the war machine rolling for ... (the purpose is unclear)

CO - Central Office (a box for all intents and purposes)
CAB - Cabinet (not joking)
BEP - Building entry point (it's a box)
FB - Floor box
If you're wondering what the rest are ...
OLT - Optical Line Terminal (it's the source of data)
ONT - Optical Network Terminal (it's the end user)
OTO - Optical Terminal Outlet (it's the fucking port or whatever you plug your thing into)
Acronyms on the caption
G652D/G657A1 are types of optical fibers
FTTH - Fiber To The Home
Now you might be wondering.
"How many other acronyms does this paper have?". 23 on the first 2 pages.
"Is this paper readable?". No. Why do you think I'm making this post instead of reading that paper?
"What is the funniest acronym on this paper?". I think CAB and FB are good contenders. But more funny is that this paper does not make an acronym of "Bob station" or "Alice station". Those must be written out in their full glory each time.

Hair tips?
(hexbear.net)
My bangs keep getting in my face and its really annoying. I'm thinking I should use hair clips, but won't that look dumb? Please consult the mathematical graph for reference on what my hair looks like (yes, I wear black tinted prescription glasses).
Is there a good way to hide hair clips? Should I just change my entire hair style?
I would ask such questions to IRL female friends if I had any.

Consider the choice idiocies.
Racism is justified BECAUSE THOSE ARE ACTUALLY DIFFERENT RACES
This applies to other problems such as the death penalty

Pictured above, regime citizens quibbling over what "winner" and "loser" mean (this is a very important cultutal factor in regimes with a self proclaimed "meritocratic" ideology) while the concerned citizen desperately tries to explain that their dictator is immune to all consequences.
Not depicted is the later scene of the dissident being secretly executed by party officials.

Originally, I was going to make one about "strange" music, but then I realized I can do whatever I want so I'm just going to plug some music I like or find funny. Unfortunately, I'm still a normie ahh scrub who gets all my music from youtube. Though, as a good girl, I'm going to use alternative front-ends to protect your privacy.
I might keep adding more stuff through the week.

Carlos Ivan
Self proclaimed bard who occasionally does unhinged ASMR. Examples of his work would be his song Slutty Pumpkin or his ASMR Hostage flirts with you during bank robbery (Good lord he has such a sexy voice in that one).
Opeth
Listening to this Band is the closest thing I have to being a "metal fan". All I really know about them is that some of their fans are salty because they stopped being metal like many years ago. Idk about the drama though. Their Blackwater park seems to be the one that fans think is their masterpiece (???). But I like stuff such as Face of Melinda, Harlequin Forest and April Ethereal.
Microtonal Music
They make microtonal and macrotonal music. Such music is characterized by the use of a tonal scale different from the European 12 tones. Long story short, the frequency spectrum can be divided into octaves. By definition, an octave is a factor of 2 difference (so 100 hz is 1 octave below 200 hz). In the European scale, each octave of sound is divided into 12 tones. But you can use more, or less. The most extreme examples I've seen are Fuschiamarine which uses only 7 tone divisions to Desert Island Rain which has 313 divisions! Other stuff from them is Who knows and Zero Nothings, the latter of which is polyrhythmic ((meaning it has multiple rhythms at once) and microtonal (22 tones), thereby causing professional musicians pain and suffering.
There's more musicians out there that do microtonal music (and also the entirety of Africa, Middle East, India, etc).
Maybe I'll put some stuff in the coming days.
Classical Latin covers of Modern songs
Yes, this is a thing. It doesn't need to exist but I'm glad it does. My favs are the cover of Gas Gas Gas and Everyone wants to rule the world. The channel is called the_miracle_aligner and they do other languages as well.
Mushroom plays keyboard
Mushrooms plays keyboard. Pretty baller, don't you think?
I wonder what it's thinking about
spoiler Post-rock
You can tell I'm getting eepy cause I won't even explain what post-rock is. Here's a playlist someone else made. Sorry for my laziness.

Miku covers
We all know what Hatsune Miku is. Funny story, at one point I purchased a miku poster and my Mom really liked it for some reason. It's hanging in her bedroom thousands of kilometers away from my house right now.
Anyway, I like the miku covers of After Dark and Little Dark age. They're both made by astrophysics
Manbo-p
Japanese Songwriter that uses vocaloids for singing. Their songs are always centered around some absurd story and video, but usually contain some sort of interesting message in there. They have so many songs that I like that I'm just going to make a big list. The song titles should give you an idea of the insanity. Be sure to turn on english subtitles!
- A kappa is boiling slugs in my kitchen. A song that can be interpreted to be about loneliness in a "modern" lifestyle.
- Clownish Linda and the sinking planet. I'm not going to explain every song. Go watch it.
- Hey zombie, eat me rather than that meat.
- Proof Geometric Construction Can Solve All Love Affairs. A song about how math nerds are unhinged and insane.
- Sweet float apartment. This is just your average low income housing complex. Also, the songwriter's sister made a cover
- A classy, tactful Fire Extinguisher. Love song between a girl and fire extinguisher.
