I think the most character developed Vonnegut books are Galapagos and Breakfast of champions. I also just read Mother night, which has many thought-out characters (I was fascinated by Resi Noth, who isn’t a main character by any stretch of imagination).

Edit: But yes, the characters are weird and cynically exaggerated in most of his works.

Yep, that one’s extremely boring, but the other ones are great. I think that’s a relatively popular opinion.

Well, yes it does.

Father, son and the alcohol

It’s a fucking joke about… Fuck it I’m not explaining it.

Right-wingers only care about a specific portion of his kids.

Or Slovenske železnice. Fuck it, It’s the same everywhere anyway. Why even bother. At least we aren’t in the US.

30% of my class watches anime. And they’re all way too right wing for my standards.

I find anime extremely boring.

Is nobody gonna acknowledge this thing:

Yes, I know it’s a reflection. But since when is KKK haunting houses?

Oh wow. I have a schoolmate, who I could only describe by an inconsistent match of TikTok headlines.

He hates all major minorities (Black, Romani people, gender minorities,Muslims (even while having a Muslim schoolmate)) and actually wants the system to repress them or murder them.

He also answered to my cynical comment about older adults taking advantage of teen girls, saying that the women obviously want older guys for the money (what the hell, that wasn’t even the subject)

And he also has chauvinist opinions about autistics, while I (one of the few people who respect him) am an autistic. He thinks we’re all unable to speak and are too stupid to hold a job.

While speaking about my autism to him (the whole class already knew about it so it shouldn’t be a surprise to him) and how I regularly experience repression because of it, he became aggressive and screamed at me, that I couldn’t be autistic because I can speak and act too normal and that I am making up my disabilities because I know too much about them (I know a lot about neurodiversity, because I got diagnosed with autism as a child, no shit (but self diagnosing is valid, since most people don’t enjoy being genocided (but many enjoy genociding others, great))).

And he probably has an undiagnosed speech disorder (as he makes obvious mistakes when forming sentences) and he isn’t that great at school. But he has other abilities I respect him for, while I know that if my autism was slightly more visible, he would probably treat me like someone with a severe learning dissability.

He somehow recognizes the wealth gap between the working class and the capitalists, but I doubt, he would be open-minded to system reforms (EDIT: under capitalism) or socialist transition since his opinions about human rights don’t suggest that he believes in equality.

Etc.

But I (a minority) am probably his best friend in the whole class (which also means I have to listen to his chauvinist rants(which are many times also about me)).

Wow, this is longer than I thought. This wasn’t intended to be a rant, but here we are.

We have some BIC lighters. Some are refillable, but have a weird plug (it’s probably more common in the US). I once bought a Nola lighter (a German company, as far as I know, they’re pretty popular with the older gens of smokers who still refill their lighter). It’s great, never buying a BIC after that.

~4 people I know are on Signal. To be fair, most of my family and schoolmates are pretty much Alt right and are into herd mentality.

Wow, spare parts.

Yay. I’ll probably die at 50 anyway.

Well, they just recommended two different toothbrushes and a specialized toothpick. It takes ~40 mins to clean it all with a toothpick. So I just do it before my appointment. But at least I brush them semi regularly.

And yes, I do have tartar in some places, I just can’t clean and would probably also have it if I regularly took care of my teeth.

Fuck it I’m not flossing daily. It’s annoying enough to occasionally clean my braces.

I actually get nauseous while touching the inside of my mouth with a toothbrush (or when standing for too long, so that problem might be exclusive to me).

I’d rather just kill myself than have to brush more than two times a day and floss regularly.

Well, what if you need an actual card for identification in the bank or something similar? Do you just show them the dissolved one?

Well, Vonnegut’s anus.

Well, many people aren’t depressed, but some especially the working class and corporate workers know there is no point in their work and need stimulants to keep going and not kill themselves.

If you find fulfilling work outside of capitalist systems, you also need less stimulants.
