Competitive

A city, person, or company doesn't need to be competitive. Being yourself even if it doesn't attract, or even repels people, is at least not compromising who or what you are to attract or impress people.

I'd rather live in a city that hasn't sold it's soul to developers and the real estate market that grows slowly over a city that sold out to get everyone to move there. I'd rather work for a company that didn't sell itself to grow bigger over one that did but became profitable. I'd rather be me than you or somebody else, no matter who hates me for it. How can anyone like someone uber competitive who will become anyone or anything to win at all costs?

Imitation

Someone rejected by her peers not for being a tomboy, but for being excessively masculine by nature. Someone that hasn't gotten a sex change yet only because of fear of social stigma.

She was so much like an exact replica of Jesse James (except female) that it creeped people around her out to be around her. Then one day she finally got the courage to shoot her brother in the back after an argument over which reel the garden hose should go on, when her husband said he wouldn't shoot him in the face over it. At least her brother in law thought he should get an open casket. She went from an imitation to a full blown disaster.

Asshole

Self explanatory.

Guy- Who's the asshole now?
Other guy- The same one that was already the asshole, me. I'm the same asshole I've always been.

George floyd protests

The George Floyd protests haven't actually been about George Floyd since a few weeks after his death. The protests over statues and bullshit by people who never met the guy never had anything to do with George Floyd, and had everything to do with a power struggle. Many, if not most of the people protesting the statues weren't even black people. The main difference between George Floyd and the protestors painting murals or trying to get statues removed is the protestors still have every right to do what they're doing like everybody else does, and still have shit down streets to limit the rights of others, meanwhile George Floyd doesn't have a right to do anything ever again. The protestors never gave a fuck about his life because they didnt know him, they were out looking to remove statues for a good time and to claim a gain in power, with George Floyd's death being their opportunity to do so.

Most of the George Floyd protests never had anything to do with his death, they were an attempt by a group of people to try and grab more power. You don't tend to care about or have any interest in (other than financial/power) somebody's life who you were never going to meet.

Grouch

Somebody you think is more cynical than you.

Yea, Oscar's reason for being a grouch was that he lived in a trash can, but what's his/her real reason for being intentionally unpleasant? Rejection isn't physically painful the way that being tortured is, so that's not a real reason.

Rejection

Some females try to apply something they said to everyone from a group. Not every female is like you, not every female faces rejection, and that doesnt make their life any easier. The same is true of males, not every male faces rejection. You're really talking about yourself and your own life, so what's the point in pretending to speak for a bunch of other people by saying all males or all females. It robs them of their personhood, since everybody is not the same.

The girl thought her own pain from rejection was harder than anything anybody else went through, and that's what she was really trying to say. Her tattoos were a statement that she was somehow tougher than other people, without really being any of what she claimed to be, she could just show people her tattoos and nobody would mess with her, that was her mentality.
