Time seems such a universal concept and then I find out the different ways people perceive everything and remember “it’s all appearances to consciousness”

The unicorns, if you are not the last.

A student last year had a meltdown because he bumped into a girl in class and she didn't apologize.

He learned it on Youtube and Twitch and in the hallways at school.

The general gist is that they know exactly what they’re doing; that’s why they don’t assault people who are physically stronger than them. They want to abuse without being abused back. They know that if they attack their father or another adult male, they will be able to restrain them at best and beat the shit out of them at worst. Their mom or little sister or female teacher? Even if they do fight back, it won’t be nearly as bad as an adult male fighting back.
