Now I've heard there was a secret speed

That David walked and it pleased the knees

'Cause you don't really care for jogging, do ya?

It goes like this, the foot, the hips

The minor fall, the pedal lift

The Briskly Walking king spoke "Hallelujah"


The act of performing in front of others was probably the draining part.

But also, yeah. If you need someone to watch you do X so you can enjoy X, maybe you don't like X all that much in the first place.


> I remember i could spend weeks just walking around in the school and do "montissori tasks" every now and then. For regular school work they asked me every other week what i wanted to learn and let me write it down in a schedule and expected me to just learn it on my own and if i needed help i could ask a teacher for help. This led me to do the absolute minimum or pretty much nothing.

Amazing how well school sometimes prepares you for life.


You're part of the criminal population, though. You are in the group you're demonizing.


The criminal population is as stratified as the outside population. The lifers often want nothing to do with the short term convicts, and none of them want anything to do with the violent or the child molesters.


I like being alone and spend most of my days alone, but not having the choice to socialize would make me itchy. Gotta sate the urge to boogie every once in a blue moon.

Which leads into your point -- the author didn't/doesn't have that temporary notion of "This will pass; For now, just get me away from these people." He's in it for life-o and has a totally different set of realities to cope with than a transient convict.


Nice try, Topic Dilutor


LOL! Reddit is full of psyop posters like these. Especially when some celebrity says some real shit about govmnt, you'll see reddit next day overloaded with personal attacks of all kinds on such person.


> Especially when some celebrity says some real shit about govmnt,

LOL indeed. Celebrities rarely say "real shit" about the government. They are good at the thing that made them famous. They are... tertiary sources, at best, when it comes to talking about things relating to government. Celebrity didn't give them insight, just a larger megaphon to shout through.

Doesn't matter what their political beliefs are.

I'm probably psyops too.


On *chans those topics receive a deluge of creepy "go to sleep" posts


I enjoyed high school and college -- found them to be fun more than anything -- and I still have "I screwed up/didn't attend a whole class/have a crazy test in school" dreams.

I think it has more to do with school being the first place you have those pseudo-professional experiences of "Ahhhh! I blew it! I didn't work hard enough!" So your brain is like, "I think I have this one in the archive somewhere."


Yeah, I find the stress/bad memory theory unsatisfying -- high school was one of the happiest times of my life and I rarely found it stressful, but I still have not-infrequent nightmares of being back in (my or another) high school and having skipped classes or not knowing where to find classrooms or whatever. These dreams are generally not similar to any actual events I experienced in high school.

One time there was a dizzy-looking stray cat sleeping in a puddle near my house and the non-emergency line told me to call 911.
