When you just watch the General Threat, and just laugh at all the silly threads going on
So much energy being used for pointless things…but then again I'm more of a chill person who has been apart of drama long ago and now I just don't see any point to it.
Like these threads for 'debates', why give yourself a headache over stupid shit like that? I come on writing and RP sites to get AWAY from that RL shit
But then what the fuck do I know :p
I mean, if people want to debate over stupid shit, that's fine by me as long as they aren't degrading each other over it. Think of it this way, what some view as "pointess" might not be to someone else and vice versa. If two parties agree that what they're doing is pointless (i.e. arguing over binder colors, etc.) then they can go back and forth all they want. It's when pointless things get in the way of progress is when I get annoyed.

True, but then again I live down in a hole in the middle of nowhere, nearest neighbor nearly 6 miles away

Also, today is just one of those days where I just wanna curl up in a corner and cry in all honesty….
Ooh that sucks.
As for debates, they are at least entertaining, if not supremely useful both in learning other points of view so as to weigh your own more carefully, or mere mental exercise, which is always useful.
And wow that sentence.

That sentence is an abuse of the oxford comma.
Well what if you fix it and give me a short English lesson?

ugh. No matter how many times I type it, I can't take out any of the commas and still convey the same message.
So does that mean I was not wrong my dear goddess?

Hey, does anyone have advice on dealing with a parent who has no respect for your personal decisions and beliefs? My mom still talks down on me and shuts me down whenever I say or do something that doesn't align with what she wants, and I'm 20 years old. Even when I try to back my point up, she talks over me, or still hits me with the "I'm your mother, and I know what's best for you," argument.
Figured I'd ask here rather than in any old chat so I could get advice from people in my own age group.
Do you live at home?
group
I'm at college, but I live at home during breaks and over the summer. (And to clarify, it's not just personal misalignment of values and beliefs. She's straight up disrespectful… and not just to me.)
I sort of feel. Is moving out an option?
group
As much as I'd like to, no. I'm not financially stable and I'm in no position to get a real job.
Have you tried having a talk with her?

A brutally honest conversation needs to happen. It may not work out for the best, but at least the feelings will be out there for everyone to know and chew over.
group
I tried to open up to her a little more about some little things the other night and she got extremely mad and I made it clear she was making me feel bad and I literally had to hang up because she kept hounding me and I was about to break down.
And also every time I say that I'm hurt/offended/otherwise unhappy with something she says, no matter how gently I approach it, she either says that I'm attacking her or complains about how she can't say what she wants to in her own home.
So I haven't had a whole talk with her about it, and for these reasons, I'm afraid to.
group
Yeah, y'all are probably right. I'm just afraid I'm going to get shut down again.
Oh I feel. Yeah. I don't see any options besides putting up a facade and waiting to get out.
group
Yeah, that's basically what I've been doing. I do know, however, that I have my dad's support, so I can always try to talk and bank on that, and just hope things go okay.
