A reflection at 24 The wish on the birthday cake this year was for peace. Internal peace mostly, though world peace is a good thing too. Chances are that things will get worse before they get better or worse, but I digress. Since I was separated from the USAF due to the COVID mandates around 4 years ago, my life has just been floating from one part time to another, ultimately just settling on grocery because it's closeby and is easy work. Mind numbing, time consuming, easy work. The lack of direction due to that hell that was forced on all of us has been driving me nuts, considering I only got about a quarter through a 6 year contract that was going to be my financial foothold and career track for most of my 20s. Unhealthy habits and vices across the board, jumping from one career idea to another, one fleeting interest to another, and a whole lot of ideas. Ideas and ideas with nothing really concrete to show for it except sperging out about something cool I have yet to make. The longer it's gone on, the more anxious and wasting away I've felt. Especially, I've learned what a curse some parts of my mind are with these constant swirling thoughts and a soundtrack you can't turn off (currently on "Chu, Tayousei" by Ano). You literally bang your head against the wall and contemplate using the sidearm next to your bed enough times and you just want to have that turmoil leave. Easier said than done, but I'm motivated to get on a better path. This isn't to say that these past four years have been a waste. Were it not for that time, I wouldn't have met my brother and best friend. I wouldn't have experienced my first real love, unrequited though it was. More importantly, I wouldn't have been joined to the Orthodox faith. I'm 99% certain that's why I was sent off the military track. Now I'm an altar server and bellringer for the Church and I wouldn't trade that for anything. I've had various skills I've developed and a lot of figuring out what *isn't* working for me. Been in the pit dozens of times and it really just puts into perspective for me what it means to have agency and make the most of your time. All this to say that these four "wasted years" have made me want to do the best with my time moving forward. I'd be lying if I said I don't want to hang onto the comfort and complacency; I don't have an uncomfortable life. Nonetheless, meaning and purpose are essential to people of all strata, and though I haven't found what that is yet, I am trying to get back on course. God willing, this COVID reenlistment will be what sets my life forward financially for the next few years until I have that "next thing," whatever it is. Goals moving into this next year are to have internal peace and build confidence for myself. Get healthier in the four holistic disciplines, build more IRL social connections, and spend more of my free time creatively actually making something so I can point to it and say "I did that." I'm certain that this is not going to be comfortable or easy, but comfortable and easy isn't what I need right now. To all of you who have followed me and my ramblings, either out of support, outrage, or pure curiosity, I appreciate it. Some of you are incredible people and the rest, well, it's the internet. We're all in this hellscape together I suppose. Weebs, autists, radicals, holy and unholy fools, and the few righteous foids - thanks for being my people. I'm here for the long haul, or at least until I get a spiritual kick to leave this part of modernity behind. These 24 years are behind me and the track is laid out ahead of me. I look forward to whatever it brings and I hope you all can walk in that confidence too. Thank you all, God bless you and keep you, and here's to the new year. - Gregory, ProfessorT

After viewing The Shape Store approximately 67 times, I’m ready to give my full depth of commentary as to its true meaning. To begin, it’s been posited that The Shape Store represents a Bacchanalian afterlife for blacks, but while this theory holds merit, I find it flawed. The biggest issue with it is that it claims that there is no death, and yet, we clearly see the skeleton of a negroid that has been vaporized still riding around on its bumper car. With this clear instance of death, it’s also entirely possible that the black who gets discombobulated by the shock glove leading to smoke pouring from his head was “slimed out” as they say in their vernacular. There’s other clear occasions of strife and violence that occur throughout as well, which is the key point of my contention for its meaning. Above all other things, the black desires a flaunted status displayed in accumulation of various material goods. Spend any time around them and you’ll see proof. I still recall the first time I witnessed when a new Nike shoe was released and there were dusky skinned EBT recipients lined up around the block to purchase these. You can find them buying Dodge Hellcats at absurd APRs and then fighting the Repo men who come to take it back when they fail to make payments. You can find them flaunting the most ridiculous of jewelry and other accessories, designer clothes and other such brands, far more often than among any other population and at far greater levels of poverty. What the shape store represents is a world in which rather than these items they often chase, which are quite expensive, instead the most coveted item for blacks are cheap colorful shapes, which are vastly abundant and plentiful. So much so that all are effectively rich beyond their dreams in these goods. That is to say, The Shape Store is a Science Fiction displaying Post-Scarcity Negrodom. On surface level, it is Utopian. The Shape Store is plentiful, and they are often quite happily entertained by its pristine theatrics. But look closer at much of what is displayed. Even in the opening, we see what is most likely inebriated drivers crashing their shape cars into one another. They’re still causing issues even in the opening, but we blow past that to delve into the shape store. As mentioned earlier, though they have all they could ever want, we still see casual black on black violence perpetrated quite often. The common claim of black apologists is that their rate of violence is simply a result of their poverty. What we see quite clearly is that even in this world of abundant black material wealth the black will still find reasons to kill other blacks. This too is born out in reality. Blacks at the lowest poverty commit more murders than blacks at the higher income levels, so wealth has some bearing on this. However, blacks at the highest income levels commit less murders on average than the poorest whites in the nation. The Shape Store shows exactly this playing out, rich blacks killing and harming other rich blacks. Further, near the end, we see some older blacks in the end getting into a squabble over some kind of gambling event. It shows that even in this world of total abundance, where blacks desire only colorful shapes and have all the colorful shapes they could ever possibly want, their avarice is absolutely boundless. Even here, they still will come to blows over a perceived slight or a loss of goods. Even here, they still chimp out. It’s why at the very end, while every shape prior has been utterly pristine, we are left staring at some bizarre, rotted and distorted shape. Because in a world where the blacks have what they want, it doesn’t stop them from still being black. Material abundance does not remove race. The Shape Store is a Utopia on the surface, but what it hides is a Dystopia. A Dystopia, because no matter what you were to give them in goods or in welfare or in colorful shapes, blacks will still act black.

I have watched “the shape store” twice now. I still don’t get it.
