Being honest doesn't mean telegraphing every impulse to the surface and acting on it. A toddler does that and it's considered bratty, a behavior to be corrected.
Being IRL means having immediate feedback on our actions. No extended diatribes using cut outs of their speech. No linking to articles to convince a person. It becomes a test of the social abilities of each individual and how well they can listen and speak. It flexes different skills than reading and writing.
Try to buy from a salesman in person vs online to see the difference. IRL is vastly different from online. IRL also has the added effect of "fuck around, find out" with no down time. If you say something distasteful then you learn about it before you're done talking by the expressions and reactions of those around you. Acting like you have been is a quick ticket to lonersville, which is probably why you're so angry at the idea that IRL is different from online. Get out and talk to strangers. See how they react to your need to interrupt, dissect, and "win" when they werent arguing. People want to share information, not stand atop some invisible social pyramid.
You're so sad! Your life has been a non stop pile of burdens on you and the rest of the world is at fault! Oh how could we have been so callous to the weight pressed upon you!
If you get punched for talking then measure what you say. But given the weird sliver of reality you are speaking to, it's clear you are a troll. Work on listening.
I never called you a name. I never lied to you. You are throwing out accusations without realizing everything we've said is written and visible to outside verification.
You are so desperate for something but you don't know what.
You should look up what a straw man is and how arguments made with a straw man are essentially toothless.
What are we accusing you of?
You're the only one calling yourself names. But you keep saying "you people." Sounds like you are quick to judge and talk over people. Try shutting up.
