    Isn’t it weird how we shouldn’t retaliate against or celebrate the suffering of our aggressors? Almost like our entire culture is set up to allow abuse.

    Germans have a word for this emotion: Schadenfreude (it’s difficult to pronounce you should click the video for pronunciation advice).

    German engineering is amazing, they’re even incredible wordsmiths.

    I would just stay on target and not let the hate consume you. I mean, we only know as much as we know. Sometimes we do stupid shit. It doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t defend ourselves. Hate breeds hate. Yet asking a bully to stop is not as effective as a big stick and a plan. Pride destroys all. You know I am an asshole sometimes

    Like 10 years after I graduated high school a dude that made my life hell during it got stabbed while being a violent asshole and died. I was in such a good mood for like a week after I found out about that. I had to leave the party I was at because I was laughing like 3/4 of the way through the story of what happened and the people who told me about it did not share my opinion of him.

    Batmeow enjoys vengeance … especially when Batmeow doesn’t have to do anything but wait & judge.
