The "rest of my rant" is lived experience and factually relevant, friend. You can either recognize that reality or keep lying to yourself (and subsequently perpetuate that shit with inaction). You choose.

"Gifted" is not "talented", "skilled", etc. It inherently implies a "gift" by some pre-birth entity, and largely assumed to be whatever god is acceptable in the location of the phrase's utterance. Don't play dumb. It's beneath you.

edit: Your personal lack of etymological roots is no proof. Read a fuckin' book, friends. How typical.

"Gifted" is a bullshit word that says more about the state of the Napoleonic educational industry than it does about the poor kid it's leveled at.

Fuck "gifted".

There is no God.

Every bit of knowledge & skill that the phrase steals credit for? That kid in question has busted their ass to attain. But, with a couple syllables, it's all surreptitiously offered at the feet of an ancient comic book character whose modern flock justify war, genocide, rape, genital mutilation, and myriad other human rights atrocities in its "name". Nah.

Fuck "gifted", and fuck your god.

edit: So many "gifted" here, so confidently ignorant. 🤦🏽‍♂️ That tracks so hard. Good job. Your comments are your reward, O' "Gifted".

edit: Yes, perfect. Cling to the moniker they've given you and mentally reconfigure its meaning to make you feel better. That's how change happens. You're doing everyone so proud. Truly. So gifted. We're all so lucky to have you genuises around. Whew. 😭🥰
