I hear ya, but I gotta say, America ain’t nothing compared to Japan in that regards. They have actual standardized stock phrases for all types of interactions, at work and at home. I have been in meetings where some participants literally didn’t utter a single word that resembled an original thought, and it was completely acceptable.

Everyone’s saying so the parents don’t have to worry, but there’s also an evolutionary / natural selection aspect to it.

But dude, if that happens please fight back. Protests, voting, or god forbid gunfire if need be. But don’t just give up and die, that’s what they want.
Yeah, it was very strong yesterday
Yeah, I totally get that. I figured it’d be “grass” or something, but I suppose it works.

The sports festival: the number one-source of school trauma for introverts. A heinous ritual in which those with no athletic ability are shunned, and even their right to exist is stripped away. Not only during school hours, but afterward too, they are forced to perform slave labor, creating banners and practicing cheers!

I’m a sovereign citizen of the galaxy and I’m not subject to the laws or authority of the universe. “Physics”, as you sheep call it, is an unlawful system set up by a fake Milky Way government to assign us all corporate crab shell identities and remove our right to travel freely in the Z-plane
