I haven't been on here for a while because I started making new friends on a Discord server. Last Monday however, something happened to me and I have to talk about it here. Buckle up, this is long. I'm taking an Anthropology class right now, called Intro to Cultural Anthropology. I like it, but fore...

Normally I would resist but god I hate her that much. The definition of a smarmy sealion who JAQ's off constantly.

Thank the heavens my Filipino boytoy messaged me at the time so I could cool off with him (I swear it was less lewd than I made it sound...barely).

I blew up on a Trump supporting girl on a discord server I frequent. Then her girlfriend decided to insert herself into the conversation, and my god was she the smuggest, smarmiest, most irredeemably condescending cunt I have ever had the mispleasure of dealing with. We're talking someone who just t...

Accurate representation of Social Security in the US: "You're a sucidally depressed probably-autistic near-invalid who can barely function in everyday society but you own a phone so go fuck yourself". In the meanwhile my Canadian sub lives off disability for a minor literacy problem. She doesn't go ...

God I fucking love America. Can't apply for disability benefits unless you have worked. Never mind that they exist for people who can't work in the first damn place.

I've patched things up with that girl and we're decent friends now. Had a lovely chat with her about gaming PC's, and I even learned that she lives in Houston and used to regularly come down to where I live! I wonder if I can meet her one day... However, to keep more in line with the theme of the th...

Texan here...hm, I don't think the distinction exists here. I could definitely say "you might've broken that" to mean "it's possible that you have now broken it", while "you may have broken that" would usually mean...actually, the same thing, honestly. Honestly, I'm not seeing the supposed distincti...

it was a joke

she wasn't a UKIP member

i learned this after I went off on her and screamed at her

and now I feel terrible

too terrible to use capital letters

i want to just fucking die now

I am exhausted and I have walked around very little today. I came to blows with that surrogate mother figure I mentioned above. We are still together (as much as two people online can be said to be "together"), but I... I dunno. I was easy on her. I should have been harder on her. I don't even know ...

The election has definitely done some damage to the two discord servers I frequent. In one of them, a bunch of members (who never showed up before--they had always been on the member list, but were never around) showed up the night of the election and spammed /pol/ memes all night long. That guy who...

I had to do the incredibly painful task if forgiving two Trump supporters today. Perhaps I was weak, but I couldn't bear it in my heart to cut myself off from them. They are much nicer than other Trump supporters and one even comforted me after I had an emotional breakdown fun the election results s...

I know, but it makes me wonder if the "self" really exists. To pseudo-philosophize for a bit: The only way one can understand one's supposed "self" is interaction with others. An isolated man on an island is unable to know himself, because he has no interactions with which to showcase his beliefs, p...

I have another thing I wanted to mention but got sidetracked from. I have been chatting with these people for a while and I try to be as nice as possible to them. However, I wonder: am I really being nice--or am I truly a manipulative sociopath who's simply plying them for praise and pity? I will ad...

I told a trump voter to his face that he was an embodiement of everything wrong with American politics, and when he asked me to explain myself I said that even attempting to "engage" with a maliciously stupid people like him was giving his "politics" far more credit than they ever deserved (the only...

I don't know any language that marks questions or negation under the category person. The languages I know that mark negation on the verb mark it as a separate suffix from person. That makes a certain sense, as you can negate action in any person ("I didn't do it, you didn't do it", etc.) The langu...

For instance, are there languages which have interrogative markers (i.e languages where you can say, e.g, do-PST-INTER for "who did (this)?"). Or ones with a negative suffix. Or other kinds of unusual "persons". The first two aren't really "person": interrogative marking in its basic form like the ...

I've come to realize that there's not much information on there comparing sets of verbal person marking. WALS, for instance, has chapters on things like which argument is marked, or if the 3S is zero-marked, but I can't find anything on what kinds of persons are attested cross-linguistically. From m...

Well, I decided to actually do something about it today I got tired of always sitting around doing nothing on the internet every day straight, never even doing other fun things like reading a book or playing games or watching shows or whatever. So I sat down at my laptop and wrote out a schedule/pla...

Today I started using my father's laptop instead of my own since mine was pretty much falling pieces. I've been setting up more and stuff on it and I intend to use it for a decently wide variety of things, though not everything I did on my old laptop since he'll need it once every few weeks or so. S...

I took my ADHD meds today. I am now experiencing a very draining sort of prolonged panic attack and anxiety. It's not a huge burst of panic all at once, but I have this dread for the future and the feeling that I am wasting my time, except nothing I do can assuage this feeling. Perhaps I accidentall...

Why is Gleb so unusually biased towards extreme phonologies like these? I wonder if it's because there's not enough weighting against dense, ludicrously complex phonologies and uncommon phonemes, so they appear far more than you'd expect, even though Gleb is just picking randomly with little weighti...

So I vented to my friends in that discord chatroom I mentioned. It was like the vents in this thread I've been doing for a year now. Stuff about my depression and my social anxiety and my hopelessness. And now I'm being savaged by this one guy in the chat. Not as in him insulting and bullying me. Bu...

Ugh. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh. Everytime a girl online acts nice to me it fucks me up and turns me into a clingy weirdo because I'm so desperate to know I'm not hated by the entire female gender. I become a stammering weirdo who gets too close and blunt and then I become terrified that I'll push her away....

not counting the continued genocide of non-whites committed by the American police every day, of course Aren't most black people killed by other black people? No and such fake crime statistics are often used by neo-nazis such as Stormfront and /pol/ to recruit people to their ranks. The thing about...

Both processes involving the alteration of a core part of the root as opposed to suffixation. To an English speaker, the processes underlying both goose:geese and break:broke are the same thing, even if they come from different processes historically. Anyway a better criticism of my hypothesis would...
