Smoogy

Is anyone else seeing a face on a counter in the thumbnail?

With you in the ability to smell. The only issue is I smell ALL THE THINGS. And it is overwhelming at times.

loud, obnoxious entitled complainers

loud, obnoxious entitled complainers

You Had it right there. Just use that.
yes: it’s wordy. But it is on topic. And it will never fall out of meaning or relevance. Because it’s practically a dictionary description.

This is what communication is. It relays your actual meaning with clarity.

loud, obnoxious entitled complainers can’t wriggle of it with side arguments and assumptions about your narrative of the situation . They don’t take offence to it for the reason you think they are taking offence to it. They are taking offence to the blatant sexism you think you just got away with. And you’re making them look right when they point it out. So using ‘Karen’ as an insult is doing more damage to you than anyone you think you’re describing. Same could also be said about ‘cunt’ too. It just sounds like you’re trying to be an edgy 12 yr old gamer who just discovered the ‘n’ word and have become obsessed about it for no other reason than to push buttons. You can come up with all the Aussie backstory you want about it but then it turns into a story about you struggling to not look bad. It’s no longer about the loud, obnoxious entitled complainers. If anything, shorthand is false economy when you have to spend 40 more words to explain yourself on what you could have done with just 4.

I don’t think you understand the assignment

You have much faith in humanity if you think that is being done simply because they don’t know.

There’s plenty of manipulative assholes misusing it and trying to hide behind it to take advantage of someone with it. And you’ll see that manipulation in every group. Con artists are everywhere. Don’t blame the game. Blame the player.

Everyone should watch painkiller on Netflix. It’s gutting but eye opening.

“Person with addiction”

It’s too easy to become apathetic when human keeps getting take out of the descriptor. As a person can change so the descriptor isn’t their only identity. The ‘person’ will always remain while the association can change.

Additionally, we shouldn’t let doctors off the hook too easy to stop remembering they are humans with a problem and they are not ‘the problem’.

“Junkies”

These are people with addiction. they are people who have a problem. A common problem. And some starting with injuries. And they are vulnerable and taken advantage of the most by the very people making money off of them. People with addiction take the most blame and treated with utmost contempt for the very issue that is caused by the people who create the issue in the first place : Doctors and the pharmaceutical industry.

you should see what the eczema community put up with. Essentially it’s a community of just talking each other out of committing suicide because of how much pain they live with every day and the entire medical industry has failed them so miserably by dismissing them.

“Try the elimination diet” is the best they are given with absolutely no “why” or extension to find a better solution to allergies than either avoid the triggers (if you’re even lucky enough to find out what they are) or try a life threatening injection if your allergy gets severe.

Then you have the celiac community and what they have to put up with doctors: “eat gluten for 3 weeks without killing yourself so I can diagnose that you actually are intolerant to gluten”. The community has lovingly referred to this now as “the gluten challenge”…… which the medical community went as far as to take offence to the name. I wish empathy was taught as part of the curriculum for being a doctor.

Not all of us watch that trash.

The Roiland DV case is very different from the depp/heard defamation case.

1: the Roiland case was about whether or not he was found to be committing DV. and it was inconclusive evidence. He might not be found guilty but he’s also not found innocent.

2: His accuser was not to be found guilty of perjury. the case was about finding evidence of DV. Not perjury of his accuser. the depp/heard case was explicitly about what heard gave to the media is what she was found guilty of.

3: Roiland and his accuser didn’t sign a non-disparagement claus. and his accuser didn’t then go talk to Washington post without any conclusive evidence on the outcome of the case. And probably a good thing roiland didn’t sign such a non-disparagement claus as he did post misinformation meant to publicly harm his accuser with that misleading Twitter post about what his case was actually about.

Calling it sarcasm is a poorly aimed compliment to assume they are so clever.

You even make shitposting look bad

You are everything that is wrong with the internet.

This is why you don’t short yourself on voice actors and make only one do them all. Hinging your entire success off of one and only one person brings and creates it’s own risks.

I recommend pb on garlic toast

Peanut butter in garlic bread

They have plenty of fight in them to not have taxes snuck in on a price or hijack of an airplane or fuck around on public transit. Or kicking out a PM.

All things I see other countries pretty much bend over and take it like it’s medicine.

But yet they’ll throw stuff at the clerk if they take too long to ring them up or sneak in a tax at the register.

Or tossing out their PM at the drop of a hat.

Or someone trying to hijack a plane

Or drunks on the bus.

I think they are big on protesting. They don’t see it as whinging either. They see it as not putting up with shit.

it’s easy to just yell “hippie” at someone with healthy boundaries they feel threatened by.
