    Next time someone says that, respond with “wow, so fuck anyone with brain issues that keep them from forming memories the same way you do, right? Guess grandpa Rick doesn’t care about my family since his accident, huh.”

    you having a grandpa Rick, or family to speak of, is irrelevant. The point is, it forces them to confront the fact that there are many reasons someone might forget a thing. They’ll probably still be shift about it, but at least when they’ve unbunched their loads, they might think twice before immediately concluding the other person sucks for forgetting a thing.

    Maybe I’m being optimistic with that, but I don’t appreciate when people try to assign my motives to me, instead of understanding my own, and get confrontational when that happens.

      You sound like a pompous asshole. Literally no one will ever talk to you again if that’s what comes out of your mouth after someone makes a joke.

      It’s like you don’t want people to even say a word anymore because someone somewhere is deaf and that would offend their sensibilities… Grow a fucking pair.

            I wasn’t joking. That shit hurts me deep. It shows a lack of understanding of my struggles that I really don’t try to hide. I forget things, always. They’re not lies. They’re not things that don’t matter to me. Its everything all the time
