    Engaging with other people on this small platform makes it feel less empty. There aren’t many people here, so I go out of my way to talk to people instead of just silently interacting with the number beside their comment or post.

      “there’s not much meat in this stew so i added sawdust” really isn’t the slam dunk solution that you think it is.

        Your username is fitting.

        Believe it or not, some people like making casual conversation with other people, even if it’s just idle agreement.

        Hope you have a nice day.

            believe it or not, some people find the relentless search for validation from people incapable of original thought weird and offputting when they’re looking for discussion and interesting takes.

            Ohh the irony.

              i can’t tell if you don’t understand the concept of irony or if you’ve somehow concluded that i’m willing to play the bad guy in order to say what needs to be said because i’m desperate for approval.

              you do understand that between the two of us, only one is being respectful, and it’s not the one trying to bully users they don’t like off the platform.

              right?

                Not wanting toxic assholes around isn’t bullying. Crying about being bullied when you’re simply being called out for being a dick and told we don’t want that shit here is a form of bullying, though.

                Don’t let the door hit ya.

                Calling people “incapable of original thought” is respectful? Come on, you’re not even trying to be coherent. I struggle to imagine a scenario in which you could actually generate an interesting discussion like you claim, and you’re actively making this platform worse for everyone you interact with. Blocked.

              finally, someone willing to say what they’re really thinking. a sheep with unparalleled courage.
