@Annie Drat! I’ve been called out on my foggy gibberish, again. Did I say that out loud?

The distinction I tried and failed to draw is: if one is annoying to others simple because of one's existence, that's bogus, but if one is consistently taking actions to annoy others, well, maybe something else is happening with one that’s not to do with persecution or its variants. I guess I’m tip-toeing around the deeper concept of 'intent’.

The sense I get from you is that simply being who you are bugs some folks around you. An ignorant remark is made, you don’t resist the urge to comment on it. Worldview force field takes a hit. Eyebrows and smirks and sighs oh my. I don’t wish anyone would have to deal with that on the regular, but I understand your holding firm.

@Annie Salut!

@UndamnedOne Beautiful. Will read again. Multi-star etc.

What still mystifies me is that something this basic, there exist other people, apart from your local selection, that are as real as you, would fail to catch on with so many.

It seems this current cultural instability around derived truths quickly spills over into doubt of existential truths, with the expected attending horrors.

Of course, we’ll look again tomorrow to see if the meaning of today has wiggled around at all. :-)

@JohnPhilpin often tends to, and I wouldn’t expect to be surprised by insta.fb.meta

@MitchW Yes. It’s either sausage, firecracker, catchy tune, or shootist. 🌭🎆🎵🤠

@Matti “It’s not the bench, but I like it!”

@danielpunkass You mustn’t be both handsome and smart, it is discouraging. I’ve only solved a cube by artful sticker re-distribution and my fashion spirit animal is a sofa—so either get a bad haircut or start drinking cough syrup with meals. Only fair.

@JohnPhilpin We will support ASCII, line breaks, and long file names, providing 100% compatibility with other social software content.

@pimoore I would add something but I’m all shagged out.

@Onmyom Yes, I’ll echo both @manton and @pimoore and the many others and repeat: thanks for being part of a great conversation. I feel lucky to have time to listen and learn somethings. I can better see how much ground we’ve already covered but also how much extends out to the horizon.
