Yeah, pot makes people "chill" and "peaceful"... except pretty much every person that ever physically attacked or threatened me in my life was a pothead of some variety (sometimes closeted)
I find it increasingly hard to buy normal clothing. When I go to an H&M or C&A, I overwhelmingly see either extremely slim fitting clothes, or oversized/relaxed fitting. It seems like they've cut out ''regular'' to a large extent. Fits the times, where regular in anything is increasingly hard to find.
I live in a 70 or 80%+ White area, and if I go for a walk and I see either two people talking to each other or someone talking on the phone, the majority of the time it is not in English. It's quite draining. A few days ago a presumably slavic boy (you learn the phenotypes and accents living here) started barking at my wife and I while we were out on a walk. Like a dog. I could be more specific with his ethnicity if he said actual words. Poor kid probably has a terrible upbringing, but it just feels like clown world.
I've had ancestors in this county or the neighboring counties since about the time the US Constitution was written, if not before then. It seems as if most of my distant cousins with that shared ancestry have literally run off to the hills making me wonder what I'm doing here.

I think it's a Western phenomenon. In Western-Europe there weren't non western foreigners before the 70s with the odd exception. Then the migrant waves came to work, from typically the poor regions in the Moroccan mountains, East Anatolia in Turkey, or former colonies (with Surinamese independence in the 70s 50% of the population came to Netherlands), and cities changed rapidly. The biggest shift came in the 90s when due to family reunion migrants really became an integral part of the street image. But they focused very much on the big cities: for example in the Netherlands 5% is Muslim, however in the big cities 50% is non Western (many Muslim). But I think that tendency is fairly the same in the US with the Latinos going to big cities too predominantly, except of the Somalis who love them Minnesota winters.

Pretty funny, Popeye was a real life character:
Few people know that Popeye's character actually really existed. His real name was Frank 'Rocky' Fiegel, born in Poland on January 27, 1868. He emigrated with his family to America where in 1887 he joined the Navy.
When Popeye's creator met him, he was a retired sailor contracted by Wiebusch’s tavern in the city of Chester, Illinois, to clean and maintain order. He had a reputation to be always involved in fighting, so he had a deformed eye (“Pop-eye”). He had demonstrated his strength in so many fights that he became a local legend. He always smoked his pipe, so he spoke only with one side of his mouth.
When he was with children he held the pipe with the corner of his mouth and told them the antics of his youth, often boasting of his physical strength and loudly claiming that spinach is the food that makes him invincible.
Popeye's character creator Elzie Crisler Segar was born in Chester and was one of the children who had the privilege of hearing 'live' the stories of the former sailor.

Was doing some research on the US ''justice'' system and was pretty stunned that there's a 99%+ conviction rate with the feds, and also with the states for example only 3% making it to trial. With the feds 90% pleads guilty and take a plea deal for they're intimidated into it (take 4 years otherwise we push for 40). There's even districts that have a 100% conviction rate. Bottom line is that there's 0 quest for justice in the US. It's purely about getting as many people in prisons to run the system - and has been so for many decades as the stats underline. Also interesting to see that even if you'd be the 0.0000001% that gets acquitted in trial, facing a jury will have thrice as much likelihood of you being convicted. Also underlines the retarded nature of a jury trial: get a bunch of emotional low IQ normies deciding someone's fate without any competency to even make the call, most likely being swayed by how someone comes across, talks or is clothed.
''Between guilty pleas and trials, the conviction rate was 99.8% in U.S. federal courts in 2015: 126,802 convictions and 258 acquittals. That wasn’t an anomaly. In 2014 the conviction rate was 99.76% and in 2013 it was 99.75%. There is nothing new about the high conviction rate in federal courts, although it has been consistently rising since 1973. The conviction rate has been above 99% since 2003, above 98% since 1995, above 97% since 1985, above 96% since 1982, above 95% since 1975, and above 94% every years since 1955.[4] As the conviction rate has increased, the number of acquittals has precipitously declined. The 2,371 defendants acquitted in federal court in 1973 was more than the 2,362 defendants acquitted in the six years from 2010 to 2015. That was the case even though in 1973 40,493 defendants were convicted, compared with the 850,365 defendants convicted from 2010 to 2015. Even more graphically, in 1973 there were 17 convictions for every defendant acquitted in federal court, while in 2015 there were 493 convictions for every acquittal. So a federal defendant is now about 2,900% more likely to be convicted than in the early 1970s. Although overall federal courts generate convictions at a remarkable rate, there were twenty federal judicial districts that had a 100% conviction rate in 2015.''
''Data published by the Pew Research Center in 2019 highlighted how federal prosecutors have a 99.6% conviction rate. To put those numbers in perspective, U.S. Attorneys filed 79,704 cases in 2018. Of those, only 320 resulted in acquittals.
It’s important to remember, however, that many cases end in plea deals — which count as a “win” for the prosecution. Pew Research Center’s data shows that defendants facing federal criminal charges only took their cases to trial at the following rates in 2018:

For whatever reason, schools (or at least mine) are now keeping track of students' races. I'm also considered brown in my school's website, kek.
No idea what (((they))) meant by this.

It means you are categorized as multi-racial.

I meant the latter, but my ID card says I'm white, and everyone I met has said I have light skin (even on an incident where I posted hand on 4chan).It means you are categorized as multi-racial.

Some bureaucrat probably assigned a class to you in a hurry, maybe going by your name, or a deep tan, or he mixed you up with the person behind you.
If it were in America, it would probably be to your benefit to be classed as non-white by the school system. I don't know if it's that way there.
You get a lot of quotas if you're black or brown over here. I get mental disability ones which are really good though so I don't really care.

My weird observation is that some young women under 30 act like or are prostitutes in one form or another. Either they straight up do sex work, or they have a gig selling themselves. It is weird to see this coming from a conservative background.
Just tell people you identify as black now
I'm pretty sure you have to prove it, though the source is just my philosophy teacher. And I'd be kinda embarassed doing that around a more than 60% brown area that's also really leftist.
Though you can also just say you're literally any race you want to be on your ID, so I'm not sure. There's also the fact that Brazil is the most race-mixed country in the world, so you might get away with it by saying you are 1% non-white? Not sure about that either, but some schizo I know tells me all the time that I'm not white just because I'm not from the south, which is the most white region in the country.
I came across this stat. Pretty interesting. Seems to be that the more succesful and wealthy you are in modern society, the more depressed you'll be also.

Every time you go to the google website you get three people only: black, black female, homosexual. That's it. And it's always this guy with the braids.
Do black people get annoyed by this? I would find it insulting and obvious. Also always a specific black person. Never a professional / older.
