-> file: fediverse/3314 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── dear ritz: it's not that your thoughts are too long for other people to hear it's that your thoughts are too long for your own RAM you need to stop orbiting around your point in an attempt to highlight it using negative space, and instead focus on tapping it lightly over and over again. remember, just like the anti-derivative of zero, there are infinite perspectives that a person can take when reading what you write. So they will necessarily see what's on the "other side" of your orbit as something different than what you're trying to circle in red pen and underline. so be more explicit, please, nobody can understand you and you kinda just keep stack overflowing and it's like... okay, great. "babe why did you stop you had lethal" (the idea is that the viewer takes the final step in their mind, the final leap before reaching the conclusion you're trying to express) "yeah but there's so many different things you say they can't all be important right?" important to you, perhaps. Wait shit I mean... me....? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3315 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── she thinks she doesn't have any friends because she smells bad but the truth is she's lonely because she's a secret agent sent by the government through her dreams to spy on the aliens who think she's jesus by posting their conversations on a public message board ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3316 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: medical-marijuana-mentioned-personal-health-mentioned │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Considering the fact that medical care is so expensive, surely that means the expertise, labor, materials, and infrastructural capability to address people's health and well-being is in tight supply. meaning, for things I can understand and live with, I should avoid seeking help because those resources could be applied toward some cause that can't be lived with, or is not understood. If it doesn't cause distress, don't touch it. "babe you literally piss yourself on accident if you forget to go to the bathroom, what's your plan" oh um how kind of you to ask, uh, it's mostly just to close my ears and hope it goes away. like the weird thunder last night haha I'm pretty sure it wasn't raining but I might have just been stoned? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3317 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── @user-1493 the trick is to wait until they congregate on their own, then surround them. They're outnumbered right now, and that's great for us. But it means they stay home, in the shadows, for now. It kinda feels bad to win so handily. Like, damn, their "bark really was louder than their bite", wasn't it? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3318 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── @user-570 low-drama... or normal drama? people who are prone to histrionics can be exhausting, and it's often exhausting for them as well. Drama and excitement is what gets them through the day, while most people are driven by something more inertial or instinctual or goal-focused. you don't have to be on all the time. if you're tired, then rest! if you're hungry, then eat! if you're thirsty, then drink! if you're lonely, then speak, if you're sad, then cry, if you see some friends at a party, then dance like tomorrow you might die. That's how I like to be, and I think it's a decent way to be. it can be prone to dramatics though... YMMV ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/484 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── "hey listen!
