  • People are people, peoples perception of “good” and “bad” is relative and contextual.

    Take that in to account when building your expectations of people.

    I personally try to take the approach that everyone is inherently selfish and will do what’s best/convenient for themselves (and perhaps the people closest to them).

    and i mean selfish as a neutral descriptor, not a derogatory term.

    No expectations, no disappointment, but i know that’s not a viable approach for a lot of people (and i’m not immune to the occasional hope of someone pleasantly surprising me).

    I’m not saying i don’t expect good things/behaviours to happen, i just try not to build expectations on that eventuality.


  • It is directly relevant if you’re making a claim against that ability.

    since you said you can’t comprehend a post longer than a Tweet or a TikTok video.

    It isn’t what they said, at all

    No way you can expect anyone to read that after the first sentence.

    Is what they actually said.

    The person you’re telling the world you aren’t listening to isn’t obligated to take you seriously at all.

    Fair.

    You’re stating that you’re ignorant — whether or not this is true is not relevant, because you’re presenting that about yourself. Who am I to dispute your claims about you? I don’t know you IRL. I’m just going to take your word that you’re a pigeon on a chessboard — rather than make an intelligent move, you’re just going to knock over all the pieces and make a big show of it.

    I’m not the person same person from that reply.

    While that imagery is vivid and amusing, it’s a lot to read from a two line reply that doesn’t mention intelligence at all.



  • It’s entirely possible to have the ability but not the desire to read a wall of text.

    Not reading a wall of text doesn’t reasonably preclude someone from disputing a claim unrelated to the content of that text, it’s odd that you’d think that.


    Complicit probably isn’t the right word, but to claim there’s no link at all is factually incorrect.

    The fact that a proportion of the money in rowling’s hands goes directly into funding anti-trans efforts isn’t in dispute.

    She’s the first in line to back up that claim.

    If your enjoyment of the media isn’t soured by that, thats your call, everybody does what they can live with.
