Yo, bro, stop being so very combative. That’s like, extremely subjective. You don’t have good intentions. I’m better than you- what? I didn’t say that.

Americans are indoctrinated by their media and society to be segregated into political and social camps that have tribal wars with each other. That’s all priority no. 1 for them rn and it spills over.

It’s just people bickering about social and political issues like gender, misinterpretation of isms, social hierarchy, etc. But because Americans don’t do anything but compete amongst each other, they bring their problems here where it echoes out into nothingness and disintegrates. But so long as they feel they were heard or had an online “win”, they get a dopamine hit and sense of progress, entirely ignorant to their apathy.

This can feel, at times, the place that attracts the biggest losers. Like all the troll characters out of South Park’s Skank Hunt saga. But there is also a huge amount of insecurity and desire to be spotlighted. What society thinks of a person is also always a really important thing they’ll post about—just is, they really, really care for some reason.

Moosh that all together and you got a bunch of apathetic, socially anxious, and insecure people that lack social tact and empathy, hidden on keyboards, watching their world fall apart but hoping someone besides them will help it.

Oooh. That was yesterday.

Wearing something in the sauna is kind of gross. Like, you put on spare shorts, get them totally drenched in sweat, then take them off and store them in a garbage bag or something?

Edit: Oh, god. I hope they’re not in underwear and just keep wearing that around 🤮

Thanks to coding, I see center as a position and centre as an object. But for the most part, I find US spelling to be lazy spelling for poor pronunciation. Like people just started saying the word wrong and rather than fixing that, just started spelling it wrong too.

Aluminium is prob the weirdest. Like everything on the periodic table ending with -ium; the Latin morpheme in chemistry. But the US just-…like, how?!

That’s how I serenaded my SO

Yeah, the more I use it, the more I regret asking it for assistance. LLMs are the epitome of confidentiality incorrect.

It’s good fun watching friends ask it stuff they’re already experienced in. Then the pin drops

When I first went to eastern Europe, I was confused why there were signs saying to not flush paper down the toilet. Like, obviously. That’s for body waste and TP only.

“Paper” means “toilet paper”.

Entirely different. Like comparing a vanilla latte to hot sauce.

lol looks like someone doing the universal sign for “I’m drowning.”

Well, that’d be all of the tiles—at least in this context. OP, sorry you had to find out this way.

They did want to separate.

Let them do it and the US tax payer can take “pandemic problems” off the “Things that eat all my paycheck up a week before next payday” list.

I hit Win+R and use the run dialogue text bar.

Grok? All I see is it an AI chatbot. Contextually, I doubt that’s what you’re referring to lol. Is it a diving form?

Haha, I just responded to another comment of having to pull myself up from shallow drowning. It’s for real, but I think it’s specific to people with good long capacities—doing a lot longer than the average. I can easily hold my breath for 60s, but 90% of people can’t. Shallow drowning is not a situation 90% of people could find themselves facing.

I always remember brain damage can start occuring after 180s, so start questioning at 120. Nothing wrong with coming up for a couple mins of good fresh air before going down again.

We are wasting the internet. Good 👍

It’s not really about what you can see and clarity, but it’s true that clearer water is much more psychologically inviting.

We’ll bring a smooth granite pebble out with us, while waiting for the swell, drop it down and take turns bringing it back up. We’ve had dolphins join us in the game once before.

But definitely I don’t feel the appeal of diving down and doing that when the sky or water is dark and unclear. It’s less inviting.

I’ve never SCUBAd haha. I don’t know why, it makes sense, but I’ve never been drawn to it and I can’t really explain why. I love the freedom of movement and not having to think about other things.

Feediving I can’t get enough of. But my record swimming underwater is around 2:10 and I enjoyed every second of it—relaxed, efficient, flowing—but I had to stop because it felt like I could do it forever. And that’s the paradox of shallow drowning. When the euphoria of the ocean gets inexplicably more euphoric, the Sirens calling, it’s time to surface. I guess like a diver checking their gauges.

I should try SCUBA, though. I’d love to go deeper. I’d love to find a spot and just hang there for a long time and take it all in.

I’m not sure what prompted that, but if you’re upset about something, I’m open to discussing it. If this is just for fun, well, that’s an interesting way to start a conversation. People have different ways of expressing themselves, and if this is yours, I’ll take it in stride. There are plenty of ways to engage, though, and this one doesn’t seem particularly productive.

If your goal was to offend me, you’ll have to try harder. Words only carry as much weight as we allow them to, and I don’t take things like this personally. The internet is full of knee-jerk reactions, insults, and flippant remarks, but they rarely have the impact people think they do. If anything, they often reveal more about the person saying them than the one they’re directed at.

On the other hand, if you’re actually frustrated, I’d rather address the issue than trade insults. Clarity gets you further than hostility. If something I said or did rubbed you the wrong way, let’s talk about it. I can take criticism just fine, but I prefer it to be constructive. Insults are easy; meaningful discussion takes effort.

If this is meant as a joke, I’ll assume you have a sharp sense of humour. I can roll with that, but let’s keep it entertaining rather than just crude. A well-placed bit of sarcasm or wit can be fun, but straight-up profanity doesn’t have much creativity to it. If you’re going for an edgy, rebellious vibe, at least make it interesting.

Communication is a two-way street. If you’ve got something on your mind, I’d rather hear it directly than through aggression. I can engage with sharp remarks, humour, or even heated debate, but random hostility is just noise. If you’ve got a point, make it. If you don’t, this isn’t much of a conversation, is it?

There’s a certain efficiency to rudeness, but it rarely accomplishes much. A bit more substance would make for a better exchange. If you’re trying to push buttons, I’d ask why that’s the approach you’ve chosen. If it’s frustration, let’s unpack it. If it’s just for the sake of being rude, then that’s a bit uninspired.

Regardless, I’m still here. If you want an actual conversation, I’m happy to engage. If not, well, that’s your call. But life’s short—why waste time on empty words when you could say something that actually matters?

Yeah, I just copy+paste LLM responses and see how far I can go with it. Minimal effort; many triggers. It’s the age of apathetic trolling. Best they waste their time on whatever the hell was said in the paragraphs above—I certainly didn’t read it—than continue elsewhere being some shithead to someone.

Yeah, that probably it. I got that “This is it?” feeling, while it seemed many others were hailing it as a masterpiece.
