I run slow

I work in the social services, and a lot of the people we work with have a lot of regrets. I've asked our case managers to have their clients come out and watch me run. I run so slow, time run backwards. As I waddle along, your life runs in reverse. Scars becomes wounds become chances to exercise better judgement. I run slow.

Like most people, I enjoy running in the mornings, before it gets to hot. Unlike most people, I've been pushed over by a squirrel.

I run slow. Sometimes when I am running, I think of those zen fountains that absorb a drip drip drip of water down a bamboo tube before finally tipping over and dumping their contents into a pool. Each step I take is another drip. I think, that fountain would call me a pussy.

I run slow. But I know where I have been.

Six months ago, I didn't run.

Six months ago, I had heartburn bad enough to keep me from sleeping through the night. Six months ago, I felt like I needed to go to sleep at 2pm. And six months ago, running felt impossible.

I run slow, and I have ways to go. But I can sleep. I feel alive. I can run two, slow, miles. Slowly.

Sometimes I get discouraged. I compare where I am to where other people are. But all that matters is where I am compared to where I was.

Once something good becomes something you are going to do for the rest of your life, the pace becomes less important. I know that my drip drip drip will amount to that deluge, eventually. Someday I will run 3 miles, slowly.

Stuffed crust pizza? I have a friend whose kids have been asking him a lot about what he knows about Trump. They're little though, so he decided to tell them about the old commercial from when he was a kid where Trump ate the pizza backwards. All the kids immediately responded "HE PUT IT UP HIS BUTT????"

I think they meant Roma, who are not Travelers, though? Travelers are their own thing and primarily a british isles offshoot, complete with it's own british version of 'oh they all steal you know?'.

I agree with the jist of the quote, though. We're hella loving racist about Roma people, and I've known several people who I figured weren't racist cockbags just casually throw out that line as if it was 100% natural and truthful.

My last foray into online RPG's was the first Everquest, and I'm glad I never went beyond that. Did that even have lore?

I'm going to be serious here for a minute. Roma people in Europe have insane unemployment rates, like, over 50%, and 90% of them live in poverty, and as a result many of them are involved in criminal activities. There might be something to be said about how traditional Roma culture contributes to that (provided you don't forget the role of plain old bigotry, too, of course), but perpetuating stereotypes definitely doesn't help with any of that, and only hinders any possible discussion. Don't do that. It's that easy. Instead of gypped, *a minute passes* say bamboozled. But only bamboozled. Don't even think about saying something as pedestrian as tricked, or conned, or fooled. Remember, it's only bamboozled from now on.

It drives me nuts because you see hurr durr bigotry about Roma from people who wouldn't in a million years fall for the same rhetoric used to color all black folks or poor immigrants as criminals, but there's some weird disconnect with this particular group.

He should unironically contact them. If they can make fifty variations "generic grizzled white dude" for TWD/ Breaking Bad/whatever, they can make one for the guy whose website helped to sink the world to the level of half-assed cyberpunk it is now.

The internet did make us stupid.

Thinking about it I feel dumb for assuming the native peoples of Australia have one language, but also it's not like America has scrupulously honored its own treaties so everyone is awful.
