Some people like reading them.

I, too, tried to keep it casual and informative. Maybe we’re both fine people who just happened to clash the right way on the wrong day.

Hope you have a good rest of your week.

Maybe you should read it again?

Don’t trust it. No way it’s that thick. It’s like squeezing all the blood toward the head of the dick to make it look bigger.

It looks like it sparkles. I don’t need the truth, don’t ruin it for me.

I didn’t.

I have nothing more to add if someone is inferring what I want instead of reading what I say.

Nope.

Asking for context?

I’m saying the interviewer acknowledged her mistake and why the subject ended the interview in the second paragraph, then used that as the foundation of the article.

i have no idea how you came to that conclusion but we all have our own read.

Oh man. Try one with the filters off, copy-paste the character bio into its persona for any irredeemable comic book villian, and enjoy the insults with every request. Loads of fun.

Then again, my kinks are indifference and haughty intellectualism so your milleage may vary.

My first response was five words. I wasn’t asking for context.

And yet I’d never heard that term in my life when geography was a significant portion of my anthropology courses. Luckily, I’m not opposed to asking questions even when a fact is framed as something six year olds should know. Most people just don’t say anything.

For instance, in a group of 100 people, 60 people clapping for you can make it seem like the whole room is on your side. You don’t hear the 40 who stay silent.

If you really want to get into it, there’s some interesting psychology around learning environments with applications across different industries. Basically, every single person has a unique background, strengths, weaknesses and gaps in their knowledge.

The very next sentences are important for context.

It demanded care: not pity, not empathy, but compassion and respect. Not the same recycled questions demanding neat answers. And not the reduction of her life to voyeurism or trauma as spectacle.

What’s an oxbow lake?

I’m opening a discussion about communication styles and how they, in turn, facillitate discussion.

I’m not a bot posting articles, I read them all. When I post something, I’m saying “I read this and I found it interesting.” I knew about neuroplasticity but hadn’t read about it from this perspective before, a scientist who explains basics of how and why and how to use that information.

Isn’t it important to re-examine ideas we think are self-evident? There are no inherent truths, after all. We all had to learn everything at one time or another.

Just imagine sharing an idea and the first response is something like “that’s obvious.”

What someone thinks is basic can be novel to someone else. Calling something “Common knowledge” when someone tries to share what they think is interesting is kind of a dick move, it deters people from sharing AND asking questions — making it less common knowledge.

Not according to the article.

That sucks. I can relate, I had to sell my electric drum kit for rent during covid. My melodica helped get me through it.

And yeah, sketchbook it up. No one can judge what you don’t show them. Alternatively - I go to a free, super positive sketch club once a week to motivate me to draw more.

Did you make that up? And why?

That’s tough. You couldn’t just practice with a phone app (with both) and headphones?
