I’ve always thought it had the same energy in that they both simply acknowledge having seen the message. What’s wrong with that?

When I use it, I mean ok, because that’s what it actually means. It’s simply a way to acknowledge someone was heard. I will not be changing bc others read more into it. Tis way too exhausting to consider every hidden meaning someone might have.

This explanation really helped me make sense of it: Monty Hall Problem (best explanation) - Numberphile

Well done!!

That would be fantastic. Sometimes I want to watch what people send me, but not continue receiving the same kind of content, since it’s unrelated to my personal interests.

I don’t want to be the one to use it, but it’s fair enough that some might. There’s no harm in having both options.

I’ve never felt so understood. I’ve contemplated telling people, “sorry that’s too personal of a question“ when asked. It’s painful.

Agreed, but more privacy aware options is not a bad thing.

I’m still taking ages to decide on my character— so definitely like D&D

I’ve learned from the Japanese phrase ‘itadakimasu,’ which is said before eating as a way to thank the person that prepared the food. I think in the west, a lot of us grew up learning to say things like grace before a meal, but that is too religious for me and gives God credit for peoples’ hard work instead. I love the idea of ritualistically thanking the people who actually made the food. It was one of the things I appreciated while studying there that has stuck with me.
