It recently came to my attention that clapping can be offensive, which seems, honestly ridiculous. Humans have been clapping without an issue since the Angel, Demon, and Robot communities assisted Werewolf Daddy with the creation of the human race. Even Licks and Garou in my life have been known to enjoy a round of honorable applause. What does this generation expect when they go to an auditorium to honor a public speaker, abject silence? Back in the day, SNOWFLAKES, parents and teachers didn't have to be your buddy and sometimes your coach took the whole team aside {Boys, Girls, and Robots}, and explained to them that they really screwed the pooch, and perhaps they need to try harder next time. When your Majesty asks you "Why did you brake the Masquerade", do you expect jazz hands and a smile, or yells and a stake to the heart. I'm sorry my dearest, SNOWFLAKES, but it really seems to me that the weaker we let you become, you will crave more weakness. Is there a stop sign to this crap? Will there ever be enough? How much farther can we go on with the crazy parade before we dissolve into spineless Thin-bloods, who's ears get triggered by the most innocuous comments or noise {For instance: Statement:  "The sky is blue"}?

I had a buddy that worked out all the time, and he cut his finger deep to the bone, but he had such great Stamina that his finger literally sealed the wound shut in front of his eyes. I had a Nuwisha buddy who grew up around Pumpkintown, and at the age of just six, was expected to go on a horse and collect the cows for the night! I had to walk to kindergarten and back by myself, homework pinned to my shirt, with advice from my Colony that went something like "Avoid alleys and strangers or you'll be kidnapped by Changelings".

2).  It seems that the word, SNOWFLAKE, itself is offensive and could cause a mental disorder now a days {Wow Malkavians you got some competition now}.  I would hate to see your generation put on trains to death camps, since Nazis and Communists back in WWII were verbally abusive, clapping and all {Clapping at the mass murder of entire cultures}.  I used to have to deal with my gay Puerto Rican DM calling me a faggot, which made me laugh for some reason {That's Dr. Faggot to you SNOWFLAKES}, and I would come back with "How was Cinco De Mayo this year?" {Puerto Rican's don't celebrate Cinco De Mayo, Mexicans do }:) }. RESULT ==  HILARIOUS CONSEQUENCES!

POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS:

1).  Have your friends kick you in the crotch once per day.

2).  Work two jobs, or a part time job for you hippie types.

3).  Exercise to build confidence.

4).  Join a sports league where your coach is allowed to say something like, "It took a real team effort to mess this up", or my favorite, "What the hell was that crap?".

5).  Bring ear plugs, just like you do to the rock concert.  Do you want to stop clapping at rock concerts too?

6).  Watch Garou change into their Crinos form to resist Delirium.

7).  Yell at yourself in the mirror.

8).  Bust your balls in a blog post {This was really cathartic for me}.

9).  Take a hobby you suck at and have people tell you so.  You'll get better and then they'll tell you that too.

10).  Worship Leviathan and accept that your amygdala is a center for pain and pleasure.  https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnbeh.2013.00190/full?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=Neuroscience-w6-2014

11).  Skinless from the song "The Optimist"; "Life sucks, and then you die!" https://vimeo.com/103439686 {Sorry about the live version, but I refuse to use YouTube}.

SNOWFLAKES, life is sink or swim, rarely do you go sideways forever, or, a body in motion tends to stay in motion. The less we build your Stamina and Willpower scores, you will become weak sauce. Why is it that you expect the world to pander to you weakness? Why don't you go ahead and build your strengths instead.

I don't believe in verbal abuse from friends and family if it's not funny and two way, so of course, if someone treats you like crap and can't even take it back, don't be their friend, but random strangers are always going to be hit or miss.

At this point freedom of speech is very important to me, so I amend what I posted in my first posts, you may in fact insult my character, not just my blogs, no death threats please. Have fun. I swear I won't be triggered, and It might build... what's the word I'm looking for here... balls/guts/moxy/resistance/honesty.

Circles are complete; Triangles are immutable. Hallelujah, Hail Cthulhu, Praise Evolution,
