I came back here after a flounce. And I repeat my request for a community where... heh, no sure what I want at this point. I could talk to knitters about knitting and put up a pretty good act, but a child would have to be pretty damn precocious not to fit in with that. I knew I could get away with bringing a cross-stitch project to mom's knitting group, I was preoccupied with a phone-game, bless their hearts they thought I was a supportive outsider. Frankly, I can't see the purpose of me knitting anything more than a dishcloth that's going to cause angst because that technique was cool but I spent 40 hours on a dishcloth that I could have spent not-meditating......... Morning... Fucking morning... I need to watch more DDDiva because it's nothing but the rotten offspring of mating fat jokes with lawyer jokes.
It's spoons, but iteration. I hope Google takes you to where it takes me... Third result for me... https://www.nomorestorm.com/index.php/2018/02/14/of-spoons-and-matchsticks/ nothing else is purple and I agree with that.
I could be wrong, but the only time I ever saw that mentioned is in a discussion of an indie film called Slow West, where one character says there's more to life than surviving, and another responds "That's right. There's dying." So from what I can gather it means (deeply ironic in Athol's case) "making the absolute wrong conclusion than what someone was originally getting at". (Example: this whole nonsense about catastrophizimg conclusions.)
hey can we not bring etansel up AGAIN? saying they caused you emotional baggage doesnt fall under the "mentioned in passing" that they okayed (this is how its reading to me ftr, if im wrong feel free to lmk)
I'm not interested in explaining whatever "reference" there supposedly is in there to you, even aside from the fact that I don't even have the slightest clue as to what the Captain America meme even is.
I solved the emotional baggage from Etan by blocking them, which I should have done a very long time ago. This thread started with how hard it was to resolve things while being shut-down all of the time. I even forgot what I was getting too at that mid-quote... Found that and lost what I was saying.
Do you remember what that initial statement was followed up with? Which you yourself posted?? You took it all back. This is why there is a thread recording the history, because you do not remember it with any degree of accuracy. Incidentally, I hadn't been planning to push this, but you know what? Whatever. You've admitted that I wasn't to blame. That's good. But that's not an apology. You have NOT apologized for blaming me in the first place, or, you know, threatening to send me videos of you self-harming while yelling at me to shut up And again, not interested in a formulaic apology where you say 'I'm sorry' and don't understand what was wrong. You failed to hurt me, despite your best efforts, but you were trying to hurt me. I'm looking for an apology that includes, in your own words, what was fucked up about doing that in the first place. So that you DON'T pull that shit on anyone else who's vulnerable to those sorts of abusive tactics.
This is a new meme to me and I'm going to use the hell out of it. Wanted to add my response to Grim was before a bunch of other responses were added and I hadn't refreshed the page. To me, there's a big difference between theory and actual philosophy, so carry on, I guess.
In fact, this thread started with you wanting to complain about how mods wiggle your posts without, according to you, explaining why. And let's have a snippet of the response, which is a very outdated count, because you've gotten lots of feedback in the wiggler since then. And then you immediately tried to pick a fight. With an @. On the very first page of this thread. Which is really funny, because you were just kicking up a fuss over how I'm pinging you in the tchgb that you originally asked me to start. So, you know. Not feeling all that sympathetic to complaints about how hard it is to resolve issues when you're @'ing other users (who asked you to stop bringing them up in other locations) to drag them in and also blaming me for making you physically ill by pinging you in the tchgb thread you wanted me to start.
Okay, who is hacking my computer? Stop it. I was in the middle of typing a reply and things got weird for a couple blinks before the thing I was getting at disappeared.
Give it a rest. The history is archived right here on the site. You have just as much ability as anyone else to check it. You didn't apologize. You said you were in the wrong for a PART of the problem, and immediately took that back.
no, not sarcasm. those words in that order without anything that can be implied as actually it was spock's fault were all i wanted. if you actually believe those words i'm good to progress past that as a sticking point if you can also promise to try not to do what you did with spock to anyone else. eta: an apology for it where you understand what you did wrong would also go a long way.
came back to the thread to re-read 'cause i was confused & honestly going by recent posts in your personal thread and the increased difficulty in following what you're saying athol i am gonna have to start assuming you're drunk to a further degree than usual. and i really don't want to engage with you when you're drunk anyway in anything of importance. so maybe like. don't engage in this thread while you're drinking.
Nice one. Taking something out of context and twisting it around to make it look like it's about me being evil when really it's about me getting screamed at, getting screamed at for doing the opposite, and getting screamed at again for reversing the opposite.

Well, at least this time the mod gave an explanation that I could understand. (Yeah, I'm not going to pay attention to which one it was, but good job with the explanation.)
Yeah, I have this really counterproductive talent for being able to type only slightly less coherently when I'm falling-down plastered. I'm surprised that I didn't fall. I'm surprised I was able to pour what was in my glass into a clean tea bottle and remember that I did that. I am missing time unless I went to bed super-early. Or... no, post-time seems accurate to my timezone. Ah, I remember now. I should have gone to bed.
