[aphanon_meme]

I was about to make the part name Halloween related when I realized: Mod. Halloween is over.

Also 222! I like saying that. Two two two. Two-two-two. Two-hundred twenty-two. Two two... two.

Enjoy part 222! :)

I kind of had this question about nations in general and well, you're the sanest one of the bunch so...

it's not sexual, I swear.

[anonymous]

Sorry, it's just...I was so dumb as a kid.

...

did you ever believe any dumb things as a kid? I need to feel like I'm not alone here now.

[stop_hacking_me]

Hm...

[thinks for a moment]

Well, I... thought that pointing at a rainbow would cause one's finger to fall off.
You're not alone, anon.

[giggles]

...that's so cute! It really is. So you just sort of had to admire the rainbow without pointing at it?

...

When I was about ten or eleven, no one really taught me the finer points of sex and reproduction, all I knew was...

[makes a loop with her finger and thumb, uses other hand to point and push other index finger in and out]

So I thought that the guy's penis fell into the girl's womb and developed into a baby. And the reason you could only do it every nine months was because that was how long it took for the penis to grow back.

[stop_hacking_me]

That's... haha, a bit frightening...

But it makes sense in its own way, if nobody ever told you otherwise.

[anonymous]

It does. I think some of the things we believe as kids work perfectly fine on a logical scale, it's just... you know. Wrong.

[stop_hacking_me]

I think a lot of misunderstandings are caused that way, really. Nobody has a perfect set of knowledge, we're all just trying to work it out with the variables we have in place...

[anonymous]

...are you saying that every politician ever has the mind of a child.

[stop_hacking_me]

...

Children are sharper than they're often given credit for.

[anonymous]

Yeah, you're right, comparing politicians to children is an insult to children everywhere...

[stop_hacking_me]

That's not what I meant, but...

somehow, I can't disagree.

[anonymous]

I don't know, maybe I was just making an easy dig.

...if we can change the subject, what do you usually study?

[stop_hacking_me]

Whatever new classes are cropping up in, for the most part. Right now, that happens to be the hard sciences, and psychology.

[anonymous]

Oooh, I was never good at the hard sciences in high school. Humanities were always more of my thing...

I've always wanted to study folklore and mythology and that sort of thing, but I have neither the time nor the resources for anything other than what I'm going to make a career of...

[stop_hacking_me]

Oh, what sort of career are you going into?

[anonymous]

...linguistics. It's sort of a mathematical thing how it works, but it's with things I like and things I understand and...

I just love language. At first it doesn't seem like we're all that different, but the language you speak really can fuck with your perception of things...
