You know what really fucking bothers me about school in general?

It took away my passion.

Before high school I loved to read. I devoured books over and over, stayed up reading with a flashlight when I needed to know what happened next chapter, cherished every book and refused to crack their spines.

Now I can’t remember the last time I read a real book. In English class they would assign us Great Gatsby and Frankenstein and Heart of Darkness and Grapes of Wrath and I couldn’t bring myself to read a single one. Too many things to do, not enough time. Reading became a burden, not an escape.

So I just stopped. I stopped reading every second I had free time. I stopped picking up books in the bookstore. I gave away half my collection. I keep saying “I’ll get back into it soon” but it’s been years.

I stopped reading because I was being forced to read books I wasn’t interested in, and now I’m being forced to read 200 pages a week from textbooks to not fail my classes. I stopped reading because school killed that passion.

This is the exact same experience i had with reading.

Productivity culture will deceive you (especially if you are particularly high-functioning or a former Gifted Kid) into thinking that any use of your time that can’t be monetized or leveraged for your personal advancement is worthless, and I’m here to tell you that’s the devil talking. Do shit because you like it.

I hate when cartoons have a kid and the kid is a clone of one parent

Bonus points if the boy looks exactly like his father and the girl looks exactly like her mother

Double points if by all accounts that the parents are so physical different from one another that their children looking like the parent of the same sex should not be possible 

I love this movie but yo every time I watch this scene I get mad

Not gonna lie I actually had PJ and Pistol from good troop in mind when responding to you , Treasure planet didn’t even cross my mind

I honestly didn’t remember this problem in that show since I haven’t seen it since I was a kid and

Wow

To be truthful my thoughts went immediately to Scamp from Lady and the Tramp 2

It even has that same 3 sisters and 1 brother thing that Treasure Planet had

WTF Disney?!?!

This one is the funniest to me because it’s the most mentioned in the tags and I even hated seeing the pups as a kid and it’s just that one example that didn’t need to be mentioned but Should’ve because EVERY Person our age range saw these movies and we all thought the exact same thing

“What the fuck”

But we were kids so we didnt say “fuck”

shrek once again being the superior franchise

Conservatives: “a woman’s value lies in her virginity, modesty, and submissiveness, and any woman who isn’t a virgin is contaminated and ruined and deserving of ostracization and violence. Therefore a woman must be controlled and watched over every step of her life so that she can be an untampered product delivered to her future husband.”

People with at least two brain cells to rub together: “Women should be free to have or not have sex as they choose, and a woman’s value is not based her sexuality. However, many guys also exploit sex positive rhetoric to coerce women into unwanted sex acts, and women who set their own boundaries regarding sex are often shamed and told that they’re selfish, frigid bitches who need to stop being so uptight and prudish. This is bad and needs to stop.”

Extremely Woke people on Twitter and Tumblr who like Erika Moen and EverydayFeminism: “These are exactly the same thing.”

Yeah we know, now can we try to work and make it better I mean all you are doing by saying ugh U.S. so evil uWu is allowing countries that have committed genocide in the past 100 years to pretend they never happened, the U.s. will never be as evil as china russia england france and germany, and for most of our history we have gotten better, but instead of continuing the trend of getting better we began to ignore our democracy and now we are a mess, let’s stop bitching and actually do something, I am sick of this holier than thou but theres no solution bullshit, it’s exhausting and pointless

Dumbass: “The US is so evil! No other country has ever done anything that compares to what the US has!”

*Britain hastily looks away from India, the Americas, and various African countries*

*Spain hastily looks away from Mexico, South America, and various African countries*

*various African countries hastily look away from each other*

*Japan and China both hastily look away from each other and every single other Asian country*

*Russia hastily looks away from all former USSR nations and somehow manages to avoid eye contact with itself*

*the collective Middle Eastern region hastily looks away from southern Europe as well as any and all LGBT people in the area*

*Germany hastily looks away from just about everyone and everything*

Dumbass: “Yup, no other country has ever done anything wrong in its entire history that could compare to what the US did”

*Everyone in Aboriginal Australia* “I’m sorry… Could you repeat that?”

No one ever said that the other countries in the world were all perfect?? Yall are reaching.

I know you aren’t Patch. But there ARE people who try to guilt trip Americans by acting as though their crimes are uniquely special.

It’s kind of the reverse of those people who act like America invented freedom and is the only country that has it.
