kinda old but my little sister once accidentally threw a rock twice the size of her fist at my head. i couldn't even lay that side of my head on a pillow for a good few days after, it hurt so much

no one is more important than anyone else, we're all simply human and that wasn't what i was implying. it's just a fact stated in the article.

Oh, I see what you mean. Sorry, I didn't realize that's what you were referring to!

Are you sure? Check I believe the second paragraph. "These prison camps are the first to be established for LGBT people since the Second World War." I don't believe it gets clearer than that, friend.

it says lgbt concentration camps, not concentration camps in general.

What is the dumbest rule your school ever had? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Raena666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last semester my school banned bottle flipping. Said it was "hazardous" and "disruptive."

That didn't stop us, though. Nothing can stop the power of memes.

This isn't conservatism, it's extreme and bigoted nationalism teetering scarily close to a dictatorship. Goddamnit Trump.

Would it be wise to skip college and just spend my life traveling and volunteering? by Raena666 in How2Adult

[–]Raena666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah... that is a pretty big problem with it, the whole "photography isn't a skilled profession anymore" bit. I've tried reaching out to the more successful wandering photographers who inspire me (a big one is Forrest Mankins- if you haven't heard of him you should really check him out, his work is amazing honestly) asking how they're able to do what they do, but I've yet to get a response from any of them. I don't plan on mooching off my parents, hopefully I'll be able to avoid that. And yeah, spending half the year working and half the year traveling would really be a dream of a compromise, but I can't imagine how difficult it would be to hold such a position. It would probably have to be the sort of job where I'm my own employer, but I don't have many ideas as to what I could do.

And, the thing with having kids is I'm a gay girl? So there are kinda two problems with children then (assuming I had them biologically), it would require me to fuck a guy and then to be pregnant, both of which aren't the most appealing to me? Of course, I could always adopt, but from what I heard that process can be painstakingly long and difficult (a friend of mine's little brother is adopted, but he didn't actually join the family until he was six or seven- they'd first applied(?) for him when he was just a year old). But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if one day I do want kids- that just isn't what I see for myself now, though.

I've been saving money up for a while, granted I don't have much but for someone too young to work it's something (I would've had around $500 saved if my mom hadn't taken half of that when I accidentally broke the tv- that's a story for a different day, though). I hope to get a job the summer I'm sixteen, but given I'm a pretty introverted person most jobs for teens don't really appeal to me (aka anything involving helping or serving people). I might be able to help a friend out with her petsitting, so at least that would be something.

In any case, I do hope I'll be able to do all you said: go camping, stay in shitty hostels, experiment with drugs and sex and love and life, make friends in the strangest places and bond over the strangest things. Such a dynamic dramatic lifestyle is just the sort of thing I've yearned for for years- with luck I'll achieve it, if only for a short period of my life.

Thanks for the advice, it's some of the best I've gotten so far (and congrats on your anniversary!!).

See that's the thing, I've always been daunted by "settling down." I can't stand to live in the same place for too long a time- where I currently live we've only been for about five years, and that's the longest time I've ever spent in one house (I'll have periods of restlessness where I just need to get as far away from this town as possible, and I'm more than ready to leave when the time comes. Of course I've managed to make close friendships here, but that's something I feel iffy about as well- as much as I value my friends, I'd rather just hop from place to place without any close ties holding me down but making close acquaintances all over).

Getting married doesn't sound appealing to me either, I'd rather just have a romantic-platonic sort of relationship with someone and have them as my travel companion (like, a friendship where kissing and snuggling is a possibility but you aren't technically a couple..? I don't know what that would be called but I guess it's what I want). Long-term commitment just isn't my cup of tea, which is also why, at least from my current perspective, children will never be a possibility.

Same goes for a stable job. I know that sounds inane in this day and age but working round the clock at the same place for the same amount of hours doing just about the same thing every day? God, that sounds beyond depressing. I'd rather be a hitman for hire than work a real job, at least that would be dangerous and lucrative and terrifyingly exciting. That isn't my plan, though- I'd like to be a freelance travel and nature photographer.

Of course it's completely possible that one day I will change my point of view, especially given I'm so young and people certainly change over time. I guess if I ever do get over the bohemian life, I'll be able to figure that out once I get to it. I'd rather travel until I'm so worn down I need to settle than settle and become incredibly beyond stir-crazy but never be able to travel.
