Solid Mantis's definitions
Yesterdays dark days might be interesting to talk about, but they dont really matter anymore, which is why removing statues does nothing to change anything now, and history books are as likely to be bullshit as they are to have any facts at all. Whether they are history books that make Europeans look like the good guys, or history books that make black people look like the good guys and victims, theres a lot of bullshit information circulating. Tomorrow's dark days aren't going to matter for a while, so that leaves people with the dark days they're living in, and the bullshit they're living with now.
Dark days are not just a thing of the past that will get better once all the statues and symbols are removed. The reality is just like at one time the dark days of the past were now, the dark days people are living in will one day be the dark days of the past. Nothing has changed because the same race is still fucking with people, the human race.

Get the Dark days mug.Being mindlessly competitive at everything whether its drinking alchohol, sports, or anything else just to be known as competitive or argumentative, rather than to actually have a point in what you're saying or doing.
He/she was one of the people the moronic lodge liked to have at a party, though there were other people who could almost be clones of these folks that they would also have at some of the parties.

Get the Moronic mug.Being more focused on victory, or the aspects like domination of an activity, than actual enjoyment of the activity for or by anybody else.
No wonder he/she wasnt thought of as fun to take to parties anymore by the people who once thought he/she was (some had never thought that he/she was fun to take anywhere or be around), he/she really thought of life as nothing but a competition, and had come up with spiritual answers to everything that other people didnt think were competition in life despite not really believing in any of the bullshit answers himself/herself. One thing a competitive person doesn't get is how much loss their is in a war that is considered won by the group that calls themselves the winners, they're too focused on the winning part to get it, despite claiming to be somehow deeper thinking than other people (depth is also no good if it turns into competitive bullshit). Focusing on something besides winning would actually cause them to look at negative things in themselves and other people and wonder if they're really such a winner that they claim to be, or whether it's just everybody else that is the bully, or the asshole, or the negative influence.

Get the Competitive mug.If being yourself was really all you could do, there would be no actors and actresses, and there would certainly be no actors/actresses, or imitators telling other people to be themselves.
An actor/actress knows how to pose as other people, they do it all the time. The reality is you can be yourself, and you can also be a poser your entire life, and plenty of the people telling other people to be themselves are busy being posers themselves.

Get the Actor/actress mug.Someone who gets on a reality show claiming to be a badass and thinks anybody who notices what they're really like is underestimating them.
The 98 pounds and tough as nails girl thinks anybody who remembers how much she whined about everything as a kid is underestimating, bullying, or censoring her.
