If someone has a problem with your choice, show them the essay, and let them write an essay of their own. If they still have a problem, then let someone you both respect decide which one to use.

But damage to people's lives who have lost their jobs for no reason of their own and because jobs are tied to your living in this country, people who have lost their jobs have lost their way of life. Suddenly, their life must be changed. And they deserve the liberty to feel in control of that. When enough said is enough, when people have gathered en masse in the streets, there has to be a reckoning. We must decide how to proceed as a culture. Nation. Any kind of organization. We are who we choose to be, and frankly I just don't see promise in the darkness. I yearn for a bold, bright future, not one of destruction and disaster-race. Instead, we can seek joy in the memories, and share what we keep in balance. Our foes have cursed us with no end in heartbreak and struggle. But that's okay. We can rebuild that part of ourselves, we just have to make it on faith. Do you believe in each other? I do. I know you believe in you, too. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5138 ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┐ ║ ┌────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: politics-mentioned │ │ ║ └────────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ what if we asked all the democrats to read the bible and all the republicans to │ ║ watch Adventure Time and Steven Universe │ ║ │ ║ like... assigned it as national homework │ ║ │ ║ "academia" is a sports team, while "education" is for the en-knowledgement │ ║ │ ║ does the motion cause the emotion or does the emotion cause the motion? │ ║ │ ║ private schools are academic. libraries are educational. │ ║ │ ║ the capability to edit submitted messages in message submitting applications │ ║ and its consequences have been a situaster for the human race. │ ║ │ ║ if something dangerous is coming, intercept. if something fell out while you │ ║ were away, someone else would grab it. allies on the way? move aside to let │ ║ them through. │ ║ │ ║ Stone Butch Blues is like ghost stories for dykes │ ║ │ ║ weed makes me lucky, which is why I always drink before a fight │ ║ │ ║ hey, remember when 10 million of us walked the streets and said we were sick of │ ║ "enough-is-enough"-ing? │ ║ │ ║ the only thing on your mind right now should be how to survive this │ ║ │ ║ what if 5000 people showed up at 5 d │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚══════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────┴──────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5139 ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┐ ║ when your contracting company sends your resume to an employer, send your own │ ║ copy as well.

Plus, I had some medical issues that made me lose track of my... um, "currently utilized waste storage capacity" inside my body. which put me in some unfortunate situations right around the time when my sexuality was developing.

I however, am different, I do believe in my heart that I am my own thing, and thats as close to enlightenment as I can imagine. are we not all making things up as we go? every moment of life is new, there is nothing that is not unique about every precious moment you experience. therefore, I do believe that rigid adherence to orthodoxy (like a bible) is opposed to our purpose here. "I think, therefore I am" implies that original thought is our true purpose. I believe we are here to express our true nature. To learn and apply lessons, to teach the young, and to build a strong and stable world built on collective kindness and trust. All knowledge is derived from the insights gained from standing on the shoulders of our ancestors. Humans crave novelty. Resisting that isn't virtuous. If god is made in our image, then I do believe that god would crave novelty as well. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5340 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────── ┌────────────────────────┐ │ CW: religion-mentioned │ └────────────────────────┘ the devil will quote scripture ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5341 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────── what a friend we have in time gives us children makes us wine tells us what to take or leave behind ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5342 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────── I love gay people because gay people are special precious and unique ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5343 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────── https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqhH-hhW8i0 this song reminds me of me ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5344 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────── what if your personality was determined by the type of music your parents listened to when you were a child? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5345 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────── you can't win every battle, but if you're losing then you've lost. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5346 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────── this here is the hardest, most difficult information campaign the centralized intelligences have ever under[taken/gone] ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5347 ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────┐ ║ "society at large" or whatever. │ ║ │ ║ www.neighborsneighbors@user-1804 │ ║ │ ║ [not a real website or email address] │ ║ │ ║ yeah but it'd be cool if it was │ ║ │ ║ [oh yeah well I think you're cool] │ ║ │ ║ whaaaat, no really? │ ║ │ ║ [trust is impossible so don't ever expect it] │ ║ │ ║ ... rude │ ║ │ ║ [no it's like... if you can never trust anyone, then why not design your │ ║ operations as if trust was not a thing that was possible] │ ║ │ ║ ohhhhh like binary operation terminators │ ║ │ ║ [...
