    it’s not exclusively their jargon, but it is their jargon.

    it’s jargon, not common parlance.

    you’re having an argument with me about something other people have said to you. please don’t put words in my mouth.

      I’m not arguing with you, at what point did I claim you said anything that I disagree with?

      I was just using your comment as a springboard.

      Maybe I should have replied to fartmaster instead, but done is done…

        sorry, maybe i’m reading tone into your italics that isn’t there. tone over text is hard and i don’t sleep a lot.

          It’s understandable. I was frustrated, and the italics were meant to express my frustration. I just didn’t intend for it to feel directed at you… my bad…

              I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say you probably don’t deserve it. I’ve seen your other comments and you seem conscientious, relatable, and like you’re doing the best you can just like the rest of us…

                  Life is… brutal…

                  It doesn’t have to be. We humans are capable of being civilized, we’ve done it before. For a while I thought world peace was within our reach, at least in my lifetime, but now I’m not so sure…

                  Even on the smaller scale, people don’t have to be so cruel to each other. It’s a choice. A deeply-ingrained, generational pattern, maybe, but a choice to wake up each day and continue living in that inertia.

                  Of course, it takes more than an individual to break that tide. It’s a collective choice. But collective choices are just the sum of all the individual choices that reach critical mass…

                  I’m just absently philosophizing… don’t mean to blow smoke up your ass…
