Really unfortunate you think someone with a disability owes you something. it’s a meme. this is a meme group. you want to “engage” someone on it, go post in a discussion group.
or ya know, go suck my dick, idc either way.
edit: sick edit, still don’t care if im being “rude”, ~~as your original comment stated,~~ to someone who had to post their super smart observation in response to a meme
I'm also disabled. That doesn't mean you can just say/do anything without consequences.
Nobody said you owed them anything.
Easy to say if you didn’t see the original, completely different comment before it was edited. Please shove it with the respectability politics. I am tired, out of spoons and I gave fair warning. I don’t owe anyone politeness, especially so on this topic.
My original comment said "Really unfortunate you're choosing not to engage." Not sure what you've found do controversial about that, because here you are.
If you don't owe anyone politeness, what makes you think any of us owe you anything? You're going to hate this, but the reason you're getting shit thrown at you is because you're throwing shit
You’re going to hate this, but I’m well aware already 😊
You seem like a real cunt :) x
That’s the best compliment anyone’s ever given me 🥰
Then you're totally welcome :) x
Do you realise the first comment in the thread was just a harmless (amusing even) observation and you were triggered for some reason and responded with "hurrr durrr"....?
Is that a thing? Only pieces of shit use the word triggered now...?
See, to me, you outed yourself as a piece of shit by burning things that could have been donated to kids who have nothing.
So I guess we all have our perspectives huh? :) x
Edit: interesting edit to decide to add the word snowflake to your comment.... Trying to work out if you're being a bit thick or deliberately ironic. Either way it's an odd decision in this context to be honest.
why is that relevant here?
I hope you some day learn that everything in life is made up of many, smaller, things. And I hope that gaining that knowledge empowers you to feel like you have control over at least some of the stresses in your life. And I hope that leads you to a place where you're not angry and lashing out at the very people you seek validation from. And I hope that when you stop pushing people away, you will receive the validation you need - that we all need, as human beings - and you can feel the relief you're currently searching for. And that some day, the comments in this thread will seem like a silly thing to have been upset about.
I hope you find the peace you need. Have a good day.
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
I posted in response to your "hurrrr durrrr" comment, and never called you rude, that is someone else above.
You’re right, my mistake. Still don’t give a shit. Still not going to be polite about it. Telling me to engage about this is the same sort of tacit transphobia as saying there’s still a debate to be had about trans people’s right to exist. A vocal minority of fuckwits does not mean there’s cause for a discourse.
and you really want to have a real discussion and i still really don’t give a shit. i’m not going to engage just because you tell me too. repeatedly telling me i should engage on “burning books is bad” is the transphobic part. i don’t need to explain myself or my actions. i don’t need to justify them to you or anyone else. now please, could you leave me the fuck alone?
Ok, don't respond.
Ok, don't respond.
Topics in life are nuanced and intersect. Burning one book with the reasoning that it's fighting transphobia does not nullify the other things that book burning represents. If book burning being bad is transphobic, then fascists are trans-positive. Clearly, that's not how the world works. An action is not defined solely by intent, but also by how it is received by others. You do not get to define how your messages are received, and part of human socialization is navigating how others feel about what you do. Communication is a two-way street, but you're demanding that only your way matters.

You could have exited the conversation by not responding.
Ok, don’t respond.
Ahhhh, you have last word syndrome I see :) x
