Adulthood: A Synonym For "Legally Stupid."

More and more here in America, the idea of adulthood has become a digit-based system inherent not on capabilities, but on whether one is legally liable for oneself. In this system, we pride ourselves in knowing that the cosmos seems to grant us inherent powers giving us the ability to think for ourselves and do as we please from the moment we're liable for ourselves in any court ruling. To become an adult in my eyes, one must go through rigorous tests in the domains of respect and accomplishment, learning from mistakes and becoming a better person overall. Hence my ideas of adulthood clash with American ideals quite frequently.


It should be noted though that the idea of the magical age of 18 is rather hilarious. We consider one to become an adult at this age, but in all honesty all this age says is "you are now legally obligated for your own stupidity." From the age of 16 onwards, one can already legally drink, smoke, drive, and do many other things that we typically associate with "adulthood" the only difference is that one simply needs another who is legally obligated for their, and your wellbeing to be nearby in case you do something stupid.

If anything, in this situation, the sixteen-year-old whom goes about these acts in a legal manner is actually MORE mature than the 18 or 21 year old, as they are taking the precaution of having another around them during such leisure activities for their own, and other's protection. In this day and age, one such as myself despises the saying "you aren't an adult yet" on the basis of being more than capable of going about day-to-day activities in a mature manner far surpassing others of similar, and in some case older ages.

Let it be stated then, that adulthood here in America is in fact no sign of being any more intelligent, or wise than your timely-challenged bretheren, but in fact a sign of simply being able to do stupid things without the supervision of others. If we as Americans ignore someone's opinion or thoughts on the basis of age, than we are limiting ourselves severly and enforcing just as much of a hateful bias as any relating to gender or race.

I finish this rant, by stating that Adulthood, or rather becoming of legal age, is in fact a synonym for "legally obligated for one's own stupidity"

Why Strategists Care About Grammar

Some of you here today might wonder why there is a pony eating a waffle. I will simply say that it's from a tumblr. This tumblr is a bile, wretched, horrible blog filled with all types of Grimdark themes and the main character having flashbacks of being abused both mentally and physically. Frankly though, for the evil cesspit that it is, it is probably one of the better "ask blogs" out there because the author puts a lot of time and thought into their work. No I won't tell you the name of it, you must find it yourself.


Now where was I...


Oh right, some of you (as in none of you) may ask why a Strategist would care about grammar. It's a common beleif that a strategist uses two things to solve everything: Math and History. (Sometimes only Math)

Being good at strategy has nothing to do with either of these two topics though. Any fool can run around and point out numbers. Anyone can say "Ohh, we have 8 troops and they have 4, we'll probably outgun them!" it takes a strategist to say "If I wait until the next turn, they'll focus all their troops in that four to try and battle my eight, and when they do I'll be able to swoop in from underneath, flank them from both sides, and take over even more than I would otherwise!"

The reason a strategist is more likely to care about grammar is because we're anal about making sure everything looks good in theory. This translates into all sorts of skills, not just mathematics and history. When you tell a strategist to micromanage, that isn't a chore, that's a challenge, as it lets them build up from the lowest dregs of their strategy to the more broud effects their minor tweaks here and there had. It's the strategist who says "I could build a giant base here on the frontlines, or I could build a smaller base and two more behind it with individualistic design schemes to prevent a spy incursion."

Thus, due to this nature of meticulous reason, theory, and anal actions, a strategist is likely to care about grammar.


That being said, a strategist is great at theory. They can predict a million situations on how something will go down, and how to react to each one, but they typically need some form of encouragement to actually take action in the real world via their theoretical/virtual strategy.(Examples: Not getting a job, asking someone out, sending in a scholarship essay on time, showing up to work on time, telling the spur-of-the-moment asshole of a fast food manager what one really thinks of them, etc.)

Because of this way of going about things, a strategist is more likely to beat themselves up over failure or an unforseen event interfering with something they are attempting to accomplish.

If one is friends with a strategist, it's best just to let them go about their theories, but attempt to pull them back to the real world.

I was tempted to post a seizure-inducing rainbow spinning peace sign vortex that doubles as a black and white strobe light.

Lets get this show on the road...

So, I created this spot because I'm tired of facebook. Facebook is a laggy POS full of people who you list as friends, but in truth, only speak with maybe half of them on a weekly basis. In this blog, I promise any reader that you read this at your own expense, and that by the end of the day you may or may not see me as some inhumane bastard who likes to watch the world burn.

I also made this so that I could rename "Bouts of Insanity" as "The Minecraft Project."


Now, a Vanara (DnD equivalent of one of those monkey warriors or something like that) to occupy yourself until further notice:
