i think the only way to heal is to witness the suffering of others

winston would have an adderall rx but never take it; schmidt would then ofc be taking winston's adderall for years

okay new take - maybe the tooth is whats wrong with me. maybe it's a cursed tooth and pulling it will solve all my problems

also, if they take it out i want it back. ive grown attached over the years.

and i'm a little high so naturally now i'm like, fuck should i just pull it out? like, as a courtesy? there's no way this tooth could withstand a rigorous flossing—there have been some close calls. so odds are, tomorrow it's curtains. is it more polite to save my dentist the gruesome inevitable?

and it would fall out eventually and that i shouldn't pull it out, because then i might need a fake tooth and that's expensive. this was 8 years ago. the tooth remains. but here's the thing—barely. i've known i could pop that thing out as drunken party trick for years

because 80 years from now, people might talk about american police just like we currently talk about nazis. it will seem so barbaric, so monstrous to them then.
mom: ... yeah, you're right.

(that's really hard for us to say in my family, so i was smug lmfao)

mom: yeah, like that movie
me: like so many movies. but you wouldn't argue with me if i said, "all nazis are bastards."
mom: of course not
me: right
mom: but it's different—
me: why is it different?

mom: not to like, defend the cops, fuck the police, but i don't know that they're all bastards. i think some genuinely believe they're in it for the right reasons.
me: okay, well, we know that's true for nazis, right? like we know there were stories of nazis who helped jewish prisoners escape
