rehelekretep Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) there's so much wrong with that post i dont even know where to start but i'll address three: 1) words do a lot more than just conveying information, and therefore, 2) the misuse of 'words' (or language) can make people a lot worse than just 'immature pricks' 3) what you've replied to wasn't even what Arctangent was getting at in the first place! 0 Share this post Link to post
dew Posted May 30, 2017 1 hour ago, Tracer said: Because a word's only purpose is to convey information. Words are an insentient, metaphysical series of lines and shapes incapable of any physical action. Words can influence action, that is true. But if you're going to get hurt, make it by something that can actually bruise you. To allow a word to get you so down only empowers the one who said it. By laughing off a mean or offensive word, you win. This is just an adult's way of explaining sticks & stones, but it still ignores the fact that context matters. If I angrily call you mean names, declare you worthless and say I never want to see you again, you may indeed shrug it off, because I'm just an impersonal voice from the Internet. But if I do the same thing in real life, you'll get my raw emotions spat in your face and it will be much harder to ignore and reconcilliate. If I do the same thing in real life and I'm your boss, you will have a VERY hard time keeping your calm. And if I do the same thing in real life and I'm your mother, you'll probably have a long cry that night. You're right that words only carry information, but that information carries weight, and that weight can mercilessly crush you. 1 hour ago, Tracer said: At worst, I view people who say offensive or mean things but are not doing any physical damage (or ordering people to carry out physical harm if they are in a position to do such a thing) as immature pricks. Is this about Tru-uhhhmm nvm. 2 Share this post Link to post

Agentbromsnor Posted June 28, 2017 Favorite Movie Genre: Horror, but I also enjoy a good drama and movies that overlap in that regard. Favorite Food: I like most types of food, really. Favorite Holiday: I hate holidays. To me, every day of the week can be just as special or unique as another. Favorite Memory: Visiting the US (west-coast). Fun times! Worst Memory: Nothing specific, but having lived with two brothers who I absolutely despise is the one thing that comes to mind. Age: 31 Favorite Outfit: Goth outfits, dresses, alternative style, etc. Favorite Genre Of Music: Most forms of electronic music, metal (mostly extreme stuff such as black and death) Most Hated Genre of Music: Rap / hip-hop. Anything that has "rapping" in it makes me twitchy as hell, because it's basically somebody talking really fast to you in a generally angry and / or obnoxious manner. Left Handed or Right Handed: Right Worst Injury: I broke my arm as a kid at one point, but I have very little recollection of that. Favorite Hobby: Anything creative, from writing and drawing to composing music for my band. Your Definition of Success: Being happy with who you are, with who you're with, and doing what you love. In your opinion, are situations typically black and white: No. This is also why I typically hate discussing politics with people who are very tribal about either the left or the right side of the political spectrum. I believe there is nuance in everything, and tribalism is a thing that greatly taints a lot of people's understanding of one another. 0 Share this post Link to post
