Why I am rude to pripoi defaults on purpose

[belenen]

icon: "contemptuous (my face making the most horrified contemptuous frown, as though I just watched someone eat fresh shit)"I have little understanding of 'common' etiquette because I have always lived in unusual subcultures. So if you think I am being rude to you, it is extremely likely that it is an accident. UNLESS you're a privileged person

High-five! I feel just the same <3

I haven't thought about it much but I think my approach is to find their weak spots, something so outside their usual way of thinking that they just don't know how to respond to it, and when they try I just smile smugly, because they are obviously just making themselves look bad. That is, when I do have it in me to engage and when I feel something could come out of it, either for them or others participating. Sometimes a playful approach takes weight off of what they say.

Hm, I don't feel like I understand what you mean. Could you give an example?

Alright, alright, alright. At the start of this post, I was wondering if "defaults" was a term like "basic", and I was wondering if you were talking about me. Then I got to your parenthetical, and was sure you were talking about me haha. As far as the group "defaults" goes, that is. Not necessarily the lot of them you're condemning here, but.. maybe.

I hope i'm not an indecent default; I do try earnestly to get understand what I can, and understand that I can't understand what I can't, and not be a hose-hound about the latter.

I welcome your rudeness when you deem it necessary. Whether or not I am a dickhead default, I totally agree that you're making the world a better place by insulting these people.

this makes me think of my post about ADD being aggravated by our advertisement-ridden society. That's not how I said it; I said it like it was the source of it. But I meant I think that makes it worse. So I do agree with your reply to it. This clarification is how I should've responded back to yours. I felt like it read

nevermind one of those things

on my ADD post: I guess that was how I responded to you. So, I dunno, whatevron, kevron. I felt like a dick at the time for some reason. Maybe that I felt stupid for not wording it like that in the first place.

I guess being a dick and clumsily wording something leaves the same aftertaste for me. Words wanted back.

you needn't worry about mis-speaking with me -- you can take back anything and tell me what you really meant and I will accept it as true. Unless/until I feel lied to, but so far I feel like you are quite honest.

Neato. I appreciate that. You'd think that the ability to re-read and revise on this platform of communication would be enough to say what you mean, but, it doesn't always work that way.

This reminds me of a Dr. Seuss book:
"I meant what I said, and I said what I meant.
An elephant's truthful one hundred percent."

How unfortunate is it that there are "people" like this? :( *hugs*

[belenen]

INORITE. *hugs*

[basil_00]

ha-HAH! "people" in quotes. Great job!

[basil_00]

Pripoi:
I like that. Is that yours?
It makes me think of "potpourri".
So maybe "pripoi potpourri" could be a classification of commonly reiterated, stupid shit that these people say. Just brainstorming.

[basil_00]

Haha.
