Is this your story?

Is this your story?


If I were to tell you that the first was a joke, the second sarcasm, and the third a genuine question, how would you differentiate them?

Remember that text is lifeless. There's nothing there except the markings on the page.

Thus, you should never fault the reader for not getting your intention. It's on you to make that clear.

But (sound: boo) is how you celebrate a soccer goal in French.

Thanks for that link. I didn't know disroot hosted Jitsi.

For others in this thread, here's a list of Jitsi instances: https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/community/community-instances/

You cursed me!

I especially (dis)like the fact that I may occupy a bubble of peace, but at the same time knowing things are getting worse.

You reduced me to either an obnoxious self-entitled prick, or a pathetic loser.

Thanks a lot. The world now hates me...

Hahaha. You got me!

I'll be like Lassie (the classical trope of the main character charging setting every episode).

Exactly. Whatever side-effect is cast upon you, you THINK it was chosen by you. You're 100% sure it was your decision. You're blissfully but unfortunately erroneously way too self-confident.

Wherever I am, everything becomes peaceful. Nations at war start peace talks. Long standing conflicts are immediately solved.

Read as Law Enforcement Officer. And I was, huh? Then it hit me. Ah, the zodiac...

I love reading. I read a lot. And I rarely open a paper book. So perhaps Lauren also has an e-reader, and keeps the books there because she inherited them. Or maybe she likes the smell of old books as it reminds her of her grandparents house where she used to spend her summers. Or it may be that she likes the feel of moving her fingers through all those pages. It brings back old memories of her librarian mother who passed away when she was just a child. Or...

The point being, why the hate? So here's a different take. Perhaps Lauren has a good reason to have the books like that.

I don't want to take away from your point, but I read parent's post differently. They were just stating a fact. No moral judgement being passed, no stating this one thing tied to the other.

Your point still stands, but seems a bit misplaced in this particular discussion.

I'm confused about your comment. Why assume it's childish to act in a way that distances you of any drama?

Why that us vs. them attitude of name calling someone as childish? How is that any different of the childish behaviour that is being hoisted upon in the first place?

Perhaps that's an indication that a side is already being chosen?

Anyway, don't take my comment in a wrong way. I really have no dog in this fight. I barely know who this Linus guy is. I just dislike seeing people being rude to each other, unneedingly escalating discussions by being unkind.
