Personal opinion here, I think the world is inherently unfair. Fairness is something we give to ourselves and each other, but the world itself only has its natural laws to follow.

If you can find some childhood happiness even as you grow older, you should enjoy it. It is a right we all have or are entitled to demand.

I'd say the typical childhood is a fantasy, not everyone is the same. There's plenty of suffering and neglect to go around and I'm sure you'll find plenty of friends here who have gone through similar things.

It's good to ramble and relieve the pent-up stress once in a while, but also to seek a way of resolving the issues to stop them from reoccurring.

I have blue jeans like those and they're actually quite snug.

But I also have baggy jeans with large pockets and they give me the feeling of unlimited power.

Have you visited hobby communities? They can be quite pleasant.

I don't understand the need to differentiate between barbarians. You are either a citizen of Rome or you're not.

Garak made the best jokes though...

April's fools is a line break. It reminds people that things don't have to be as they are, that they're not on an inescapable path and they can choose to be different.

For one day a year you are made to look for deviations so you know that you can deviate if you want to. You have that option in spite of however many shackles may keep you bound to your route.

It's not a holiday for the mean to be meaner, it's a liberation day for the mind.

  1. As with all things, some pranks are better than others.

  2. Your lifelong trauma from a prank gone wrong is delectable.

  3. Psychologically, these types of holidays are recommended because they break the monotonous delirium of daily droning. They force the brain to think and not just accept everything as it comes.

  4. Your nan's hardcore. She may decide to haunt her place after passing, so keep some salt with you when you visit.

Congratulations, you've found the secret lore. It was said that a cat was the inspiration for Godzilla, as it went around a tiny model city and kept wrecking the place. Even the later addition of barfing Lazer beams had cats coughing up furballs as the core design.

Sadly, furries weren't that scary back then, so a lizard had to be used instead.

Like, it just IS duude. It exists. It's out there... Over.

What's its name? I've seen some before, but rarely. Once every few years or so. Thanks

Edit: the likeliest candidate is an Old House Borer without antennae.
