“A lot of people arrive in Africa to assume that it’s a blank empty space and their goodwill and desire and guilt will fix it. And that, to me, is not any different from the first people who arrived and colonized us. This power, this power to help, is just about as dangerous as hard power, because very often it arrives with a kind of zeal that is assuming ‘I will do it. I will solve it for you. I will fix it for you,’ and it rides roughshod over your own best efforts.”

“I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.”

roulette strategy: a work in progress
betting on the end of the row pays out 2:1 so if you bet 1 you get back 3
betting between two pays out 17:1
betting between four pays out 8:1
winning straight up pays out 35:1
betting between the 2nd 12 and the 3rd 12 is the same as betting between 0 and 00 which i didn’t know for a while
it’s really embarrassing to reach across the board and knock someone else’s chips over
so if i bet fifteen on the two rows and then singles across the inside that’s a $46 bet
if either of the two rows come up i’ll have $53, and i’ll be $7 ahead
if anything in the third row or a zero comes up i’ll have either $18 or $35 for a loss of either $28 or $11
i don’t know if betting safe like this is worth it for such a small payoff
if i ignore the third row and zeros completely and spread that ten across the first two rows i stand to make, if i’m lucky, $88, putting me $42 ahead, or if i’m only a little lucky i’ll still be $7 ahead (assuming i use that ten on straight up bets); but then if i’m unlucky i lose the whole $46
and of course ultimately it all comes down to luck, trying to plan for roulette is silly; which is why it appeals to me in the first place
but if i win a few times in a row i’ll have a pretty decent amount of winnings; the trick is quitting while i’m ahead and ignoring the temptation to make higher bets
hmmmmmm
chickens are horrible stupid creatures that should be killed and eaten
I’m sorry
but they deserve it （−＿−；）
chickens have been so mean to me
and hurt me so many times
aggro baby dinosaur lookin ass bitches
fuck em
my sister feels the same way
because our chickens always used to attack her
but with me they were always either real sweet or just scared
(but once a turkey attacked me)
goats are the best livestock.
