The people here are husks

I most definitely did not imply that because I’d never say that direct communication doesn’t or can’t end relationships and I’d push back on anyone suggesting that. I also already stated quite clearly that there is a time and place for every style of communication. So you’ve managed to demonstrate my prior point about indirect communication, then managed to restate what I already said, all the while convinced we’re in disagreement based on something I did not say, despite the fact that everything I actually did say is in agreeance with what you said.

I am so tired.

Seattle, Washington. A company town forsaken by God and humanity alike.

My second most despised neurotypical behavior is when people put words in my mouth and then accost me for things I never said

Yeah, like being held in captivity and tortured endlessly. That’s worse than death. I wouldn’t really say becoming religious is on the same level as Guantanamo Bay.

Yeah sure I agree but also that has basically nothing to do with my comment

English voice acting tends to change the tone way too much

My message was meant as a joke but I was actually curious if someone with dyslexia would have difficulty reading it, so thanks for letting me know

I mean, surely the worst part of drug addiction is the uh… Dying? Right?

I stopped hanging out in the queer circles in my city because they wouldn’t quit making jokes about me fucking my best friend even though I told them how uncomfortable it made me and demanded in no uncertain terms that they stop. I think at one point I called one of the women there a ghoul.

I would love to feel comfortable expressing affection to my male friends without it being cast into some sort of perverse fantasy by ghoullish onlookers. I love my friends enough to kiss them, and have occasionally, in privacy. But the whole thing has been poisoned by perverts who think they can do no wrong. They suggest that opposing their flagrant sexualization of platonic love is some sort of homophobia. Like, no bitch, you’re just addicted to yaoi and smut books. You’re a sex pest.

Man, remember when Lemmy’s culture wasn’t a mirror image of Reddit? Those were the days. I miss that.

Can you explain to me what the fear is here? I’m not really getting it. What do you mean “manpower”, cause to me that sounds like some bad sci-fi story with weird robo-womb babies genetically modified to work construction jobs

The internet is already dead, brah. We are the bacteria that continue to live on in the corpse while it decomposes.

Have you considered that God may not be universally benevolent? Or God may be building you into a stronger person? Or maybe you’re being punished? Maybe God isn’t even thinking of you. Maybe God creates the circumstances but doesn’t choose to control the outcomes.

I don’t know, man. I don’t think God chooses to fuck your life up. I don’t think he’s responsible for unfucking it either. I think hatred for God is a dysfunctional coping mechanism to shift blame away from your own actions.

This meme is a hate crime against anyone with dyslexia or impaired vision

Sometimes I like to count how many words the cashier says to me, then compare that with the lowest suggested tip option. You can also count how many times they tap the screen to input your order. You want a dollar per tap, motherfucker?

Both Project Zomboid and Old School Runescape. Dropped both of them quick the first time around and now they are the only two games I play

I’ll just flat out say this is horrible advice. Negative self talk worsens depression and in turn worsens your productivity.

Nono it’s Kafka

Considering that miscommunication and misunderstanding are a common occurrence for practically everyone I would have to disagree. I’ve seen it end plenty of friendships over the years. In pretty much every case, if either party was willing to just speak clearly and directly it could have been resolved easily.

I can only speak for the US, but it really seems like we don’t have that shared, intuitive language anymore. People are so different due to myriad of reasons to a point that it disrupts that intuitive communication. I know this is true because if I travel to a country with a more cohesive intuitive language, like India for example, it’s actually a lot easier for me to understand that indirect communication because it’s more consistent between people.
