I might overestimate myself in some questions.

Since you solved a case yesterday. Here's another one for you.

I don't have the habit of writing every day. I have the habit of writing when I'm filled with hate, anger, and sadness. But I do write every day. Why is it?

Hint: the answer sheet.

Since we only subscribed to 3 or 4 newspapers/magazines and the TV was black and white, I had to read those articles again and again during the week, to the point I memorized every word of it.

But even before I was able to read, I demanded other people to read fairy tales for me and memorized them too. Then, I asked the sister neighbor who was around 5th or 6th grade to read them out loud from the books. Then she often misspelled or mistakenly skipped some words, and I screamed the correct spellings/wordings in front of everyone to show I was smarter than her. I didn't ask my own sister to perform. She didn't make lots of mistakes. There was no pride in that for me.

Hehe guten morgen.

I hurt my feet today. See you later.

Being hated by a group of people you look down on was kind of a compliment.

I, also, happen to know someone who is best friend with a group of people they look down on.

I don't read fiction anyway.

Just saw a post complaining white boys don't write literary fiction anymore. Here's the thing. When you send your query to literary agents, you have to tick a bunch of little boxes of which marginalized groups you belong to. Each agent will only accept manuscripts about a certain race, gender and sexuality, often match with that agent's “lived experience”. They actually said after the summer of BLM, white just doesn't sell anymore. Oh and you can't just send directly to publishers. You have to submit through agents.

Outside of that bubble, you still have normal people writing normal things selling for their local audience. But they are independent and don't have large budgets.

I never understand the obsession with the royal family. My ancestors, once, were wrongly accused of murdering the king. And I don't even feel proud of it.

What if I'm an academic and I live in an alternative reality? Where I don't want to know people actually get paid to protest and kill? Where I don't want to know politician takes funds off disaster donations all the time? Would my lack of awareness of my own fear and greed cause me disordered?

Probably not. But you better find your dating pool in THAT reality. Because when you try the whole I'm too different I'm too edgy, it simply doesn't work.
