Mn is great insight into a cross section of society. Its made me realise how many people have poor comprehension. And how many people hate their own bodies and farting. Also the use of rude.

Posted too soon. I have a very different understanding of what consitutes rude. Which is odd because Ive always been quite anxious and uptight but by comparison Im so laid back Im horizontal.

Yes, that's the thing that surprises me. At first I thought that people were deliberately misunderstanding to make a point.

I've decided that the overwhelming majority can't extract meaning.

There are some other people who are either a) extraordinarily insightful about how the language people use reveal their inner turmoil or b) have multiple accounts and talk to themselves.

Surely a lot of posters amp up the outrage in order to post? Fearing they won’t get a validating response from ‘l’m mildly peeved’ compared to ‘fuming’, ‘ropeable’, or ‘so fucking angry’?? There can’t seriously be this many people letting 5 minutes of their day ambush their body & brain for days?

Much as I find them entertaining (briefly), I often think about how people with big, ongoing problems must be reacting. If you’re caring for a terminally ill person, or dealing with total financial ruin, or have a very limiting disability. And you’re reading about someone dragging a wing about finding a crisp packet on their lawn?

Reminds me of that John Mayer quote “If you’re shocked that Britney was lip-syncing at her concert and want your money back, life may continue to be hard for you.”

Get your priorities straight, right?

Yes it's opened my eyes to some strangeness within society

I want a rescue greyhound they are amazing dogs. Nice to know my place in heaven is secured when I get one. St. Peter may not be too happy about allowing a non believer through the pearly gates though.....
