Solid Mantis's definitions

Brooklyn center

A suburb of Minneapolis. The police were in suburb when Daunte Wright was killed, and there are black people who live in the suburbs, small towns, or even out in the country, and white people who live in cities, so it's not as much a matter of where they were when it happened as it was a matter of someone they don't think of as looking like them that seems to effect the way the police woud act around two different people if one were white and one were black. The guy might look somewhat like a human to them, but he has weird hair, skin, and eyes, so they don't trust him entirely the way they might trust a guy with hair, skin, or eyes closer to the way theirs look. A guy that looks more like them wouldn't seem as crazy to them.

Brooklyn center is a suburb, and the olice still weren't acting the way somebody might think police would act in a suburb when Daunte Wright was killed. It had nothing to do with where they were, but with what the guy looked like.

Poser

Someone who tries to convince other people that they've worked harder than everyone else throughout their lives, at least when they want to get respected. A lot of the time, they think everybody else has spent their life joking around.

He/she was the worst kind of poser, the one that seemed authentic and wanted/expected to be taken seriously by other people.

Mickey Mouse Club

It's bad enough to get accepted into the Mickey Mouse Club, but what kind of kid wanted to get in to the Mickey Mouse Club and got rejected?

Kid hoping to get in the Mickey Mouse Club- Fuck the Mickey Mouse Club, they wouldn't let me in.
Other kid- I've never heard you talk like that before today, the day the Mickey Mouse Club wouldn't accept you. Don't give up though, the Goofy Academy might still have room for one more.

Power

People fuck it up.

Power in the hands of someone too weak to not kill with it is no good to anybody (including the one who's hands it's in) , that's like giving a baby the keys to a car and expecting it not to get wrecked.

Wave

Something you don't do when you don't want to deal with somebody.

When you don't want to deal with somebody, don't wave at them, don't make a peace sign with your fingers at them. Quit being a fuckin moron and fucking with their life and their neighborhood.

Power struggle

A few more things on a list of things people might struggle over are North/South, East/West, revenge, have/have not, meek/bold, and the list goes on to about anything you can think of. People will say/do about anything to get other people to agree/compromise with them getting what they want in the end.

Of course the person or group would say the power struggle was about equality or fairness, something that sounded more noble or righteous than it really was, since all people know that life isn't really fair for anybody. They knew that as kids, before they got good at deceiving people to make money.

Hopeless romantic

The partner in a relationship that knows they are in the relationship. Enjoys long walks on the beach with people who didn't realize they were being followed. Leaves flowers for people who posted warning signs all over their doors. Writes poetry about dreams that may come but may never come true in real life.

Zeke is a hopeless romantic, he's never going to give up on Barbara even though she's put a restraining order on him.
