Brainwipe

I don’t know how anyone uses the internet on their phone. It’s such an incredibly miserable experience. Extensions don’t work, the screen is tiny, and everything is an ad or surveillance.

Y’all motherfuckers really think that is more “convenient?” You’ve completely allowed your brains to be wiped.

Aim To Misbehave

I have an aversive, contrarian personality naturally. But growing up as I did made it far worse.

If someone is telling me what to do, I first assume it’s because they want to harm me. True for much of my life. This tendency to disobey is not always a benefit, but it has kept me out of situations others become all-too-easily ensnared in.

Overall it has helped me, but it’s a hard road to walk sometimes.
