“Yup, that’s me. You might be wondering how I got here…”
This is just a misinformed person. The crack in the glow stick comes from breaking a glass vial inside the stick. The glowing comes from the fact that the plastic tube contains one chemical and the glass vial contains another, and they react to create a glow.
So all you need is to inject some chemicals!

It’s hard to lose a relationship, it’s even harder when you realise that you could have done better, but we are all growing and learning at our own pace and it is rarely beneficial to fault ourselves for not being better at a time that we did our best.
I am sorry for what you are going through, but I hope you can see that as hard as it is, you shouldn’t blame yourself for not having the skills that others have when you had struggles that others never did.

MTKto Unpopular Opinion•‘R-tarded’ is a slur, and I’m sick of otherwise “liberal” people going along with the right’s move to renormalize itEnglish4·3 months agoHistorical context matters.
N igger came from the word Negro which just means black, but slavery and abuse of black people has changed the context of the word.
Dumb and negative iq do not have the same historical context as R etard.
MTKto Unpopular Opinion•‘R-tarded’ is a slur, and I’m sick of otherwise “liberal” people going along with the right’s move to renormalize itEnglish42·3 months agoOP, fuck these people.
Anyone who thinks that words mean nothing and that historical context is irrelevant are probably people who have never been on the receiving end of these words being used to dehumanize them.
And all of you people, would you also use:
- n igger
- f aggot
- sand n igger
- ching chong
Or did any of those make you feel wrong? Maybe you don’t actually think that slurs should be used but instead don’t realize the impact of r etard as opposed to whatever made you uncomfortable in that list.
You choose which emotions to empower and which to discourage. I think Buddha said it?
Basically, you really can choose to focus on the good parts of life/an event and you don’t have to let the negatives consume you.
