Someone cut me off going through an intersection at the bottom of a steep hill and just stopped with his blinker on. So politely, I flashed my brights a couple of times, a bunch of traffic is piling up behind me and cars were swerving and slamming on their brakes to avoid an accident. Tons of honking from everybody who’s pissed at this guy. So, he decides to get out of his car and shout at me about it. “My hazards are on what’s honking gonna accomplish?!” Me: “That’s your turn signal.” Him: “Damn I guess my lights are broken, too. Well you shouldn’t be honking so much!” Me: “I flashed my brights, everybody else you made swerve off the road was honking at you.” Him: “Well your car’s dirty.” Steps away back to his road hazard.

I still regret not laying down on the horn after that insult to my whip’s honor.

Viiiiiirgiiiiiiin!

This is exactly the point. This and other studies like it are validating these routes to healing and this guy’s still drinking the Nancy Reagan DARE Kool-Aid. If there’s any truth to his story, then he’s digging his heels in about one piece of anecdotal evidence while ironically suggesting that a study of 300 is too small of a sample size to be relevant.

I just had a great idea for a business. I’d like to invite you all to get in at the ground floor, but it’s more like an Egyptian penthouse of sorts.

I am having a hard time believing your story. What drugs did you take? How much? What’s wrong with your friend in general?

You’re immune to growth and it is pitiful.

No thanks, bubye.

To be clear: I’m not on your side here, guy.

Right out of the gate you’re talking about some shit veterinarians have to learn after I already indicated it was heinous shock value shit (not a compliment). You plastered it on a public forum to “get someone’s attention” that clearly wasn’t interested in talking and was only toying with you because you couldn’t let it go for days until a mod noticed. It’s gross and petty and off putting; leagues worse than some emoji spammer. The hoards of downvotes in this and the other aren’t a fluke, they’re a response to how you chose to present yourself and dig your heels in when you get a negative reaction. Championing that behavior is aiming to make these spaces grosser, pettier, and more hostile.

I like this, thanks for sharing

Woosh

So, I read it. I get where your coming from re: vague buzz words without any substance. Aside from the deeper cuts where you were just saying some heinous shock value shit, I get it.

Assuming your aim was steering the conversation towards a productive talk about effective language, why would you approach it with so much hostility?

Edit: Sincerely asking in good faith, just trying to understand that mindset since it’s pretty common.

Thanks
