  • So, this is a rather unflattering conversation. I’m going to translate each post HOW I INTERPRET IT. I have no doubt that whatever you originally intended will not match what I describe. That’s the point. I don’t think you’re a bad person, I think you’re not communicating effectively and sometimes it makes you sound like an asshole.

    Title: Cause and Effect isn’t real! (Take note that there is no supporting text to explain the ambiguous title.)

    Them: I don’t understand what you mean. Can you give an example?

    You: Title rephrased in an even MORE ambiguous way. It’s pointless to explain because you’re all morons in an echo chamber.

    Them: We just wanted clarification.

    You: I know YOU are, but what am I ?

    Them: Wait, what? You started this conversation, you should tell us what led you to believe this.

    You: ugh you’re so difficult! Do you want proof or clarification?

    Them: Nevermind, I found your other comment where you explained yourself better.





  • Stockholm Syndrome?

    For example, once you get an Apple product, you get more out of it by buying MORE Apple products. Even if you WANT to get out, all the photos and songs in the cloud will be lost if you switch from Apple, so you just stick with what you got. Besides, Google does similar things, so you might as well stock with the devil you know. You just have to keep hoping that the other side gets shittier faster than yours does.

    As for price = quality. We know that higher quality things DO cost more than garbage, but thanks to how easy it is to lie on the Internet, shady dealers are marking up their garbage in hopes that you’ll think it’s higher quality than all the other garbage. I don’t blame the people for this, it’s a con, and those people are being victimized by predators.


  • I told my kids they’d get one when they NEEDED one.

    If they are at school all day and home all night, they don’t need one. Once they started getting into extracurriculars or going out with their friends, then they would need a way to contact us.

    Seemed to work out fine with my older kids, and now my 11 year old is itching to get one, but she’s got a while to go still.
