Unpleasant suprise

Something/someone that makes you unhappy to see it/them.

1) You again? Wow, what an unpleasant suprise, this is so unexpected!

2) Donald Trump's first election was an unpleasant surprise, so you would think his second one would also be one when/if he did it again.

Derek Chauvin trial

By saying Derek Chauvin is not responsible, the justice system is really saying that one guy's image matters more than thousands of lives. If their lives don't matter, neither does his image.

Derek Chauvin is the reason George Floyd is dead, a spade is a spade. The Derek Chauvin trial doesn't change reality.

Arrogance

Somebody that moves to your neighborhood from theirs, then gets embarrasssed by your presence there because they thought they owned the place.

I knew you before you moved to my neighborhood, had a car, a house, or a job, or claimed to be a seasoned, award-winning somebody here, back when you ran to your mother and had her have your father threaten (or woop) somebody instead of the police. So you can shove your awards, your experiences, and your threats about having somebody locked up in a jail or a mental institution right up your ass and get out. Arrogance doesn't come from your family.

Authoritarian

Someone who's not your father but tries to talk to someone else over age 18 like he/she is your father, or makes your decisions for you. These are usually the same kinds of bullshit people that talk the most about other people being their peers.

The scientist/medical guy/girl on TV is talking about people who don't wear masks being out of control. No, talking to somebody you're not related to like you're their father is out of control. Fuck the authoritarian bullshit.

Houston Astros

You notice that teams that haven't been losing against the Yankees much that year get investigated, but when was the last time anybody investigated the Yankees? LA is the same way, other teams either go along with the LA teams program or theres an investigation.

The Houston Astros and the Red Sox, teams that had been giving the Yankees trouble in the past few years are the teams that got investigated it turns out, which seems to be what happens when the Yankees don't win a title that year. The same time winning every year isnt interesting, some people root for the team that's going to keep a season interesting over impressive stats and a winning record. Some people root for the team that never wins because they're everything the Yankees are not, they're not agreeable that the Yankees should win a title every year, and that doesnt mean they're okay with their team losing.

Bug-eyed

People who answer to bug-eyed are bug-eyed. Ignore haters who call you bug-eyed.

Margot-No, I I'm not offended by bug-eyed, I don't take it personal that they don't respect me as a feminist, or that respect is earned and not given, even if you're female. No it's a game to me, I can handle it.

Repent

There are people who love to try and force young people (20s and under) to apologize, or repent, and be forgiven. Apologies and repentance are overdone to the point that they've lost their point, at what point does the person demanding the apology want you to convert to their belief system?

Sometimes its better to let somebody know you did something on purpose than to think you need their forgiveness to move past it in life, or to repent. Sometimes its better to keep carrying baggage around on your own.
