Anonymous asked: hello, maybe you have advice... i've lived in different places and always had females interested and attracted to me, because i'm different from the herd... i now live in the clique-iest city in America and since i'm not a sheep, girls ignore me... i'm confused, i thought posers were a turn off? do i just accept loneliness forever and be true to my soul, or sell out and be a sheep herder or get the f out of clique-ville even though it's supposed to be the 'coolest' city in America? thank you =(

Don’t accept loneliness forever, stay true to yourself, get the fuck out of clique-ville.. Bam, who’s next? <3

Why I hated school and why I dropped out of uni

• Your ability to memorise mostly useless things
• Your ability to regurgitate information in the way others want you to
• Your ability to understand what adults want from you and give it to them
• Your tolerance for working on tasks you don’t find useful because others want you to do them or believe them to be helpful/socially acceptable

What grades do not determine..

• Your intelligence
• Your creativity
• Your emotional capabilities
• Your likeliness to succeed
• Whether you’re a good person

Banksy on advertising

“People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are ‘The Advertisers’ and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t ever start asking for theirs.”

“Stop. You are not a machine. Your natural design does not tolerate 2-4 hours of travel per day, 8-12 hours of slave-labor 5-6 days per week for whatever monetary compensation on 5-6 hours of sleep in a system built on penalistic principle and a life under judgmental surveillance. Like it or not, you are human. Stress, harassment, constant financial worries, fear and sense of inadequacy destroys the health of any human. This is a scientific fact. So why is it that we accept and tolerate a system that in actual reality demands that you erase your needs, and in effect commit a slow joyless suicide for someone elses profit? You have a choice, stop pretending that you don’t.”
