What Are You Nosey About Today?? 🦝

Well, human perception is always an interesting thing. It is sensory processing, and the problem with digital communication is it is lacking four of the five senses.

All we have is sight. There is no hearing for nuance, no visual for facial expression or body language, no touch, taste or smell. One sense.

And the problem with digital communication is are you deft enough with your words to express and convey all five forms of communication?

For example, I am always bewildered by why I perceive Rainshine as being nasty to me.

Rainshine always believes I am nasty to her (Or I think that is true. I hope I'm not putting words into her mouth.)

I am pretty certain that both of us do not understand how or why we both feel that way. Or maybe we do. I know I wish that wasn't the case.

How does one figure that? How does one solve that? If you want to be nosey, how about what lies underneath. What motivates someone like MrPractical -- who I don't know -- to post stuff like this, and why does it generate the response that it does since it seems to me, as a casual observer, to be posted to elicit that response?

And why don't folks move on from an obvious inciter whose sole purpose, it seems, is to create havoc and stir the pot.

But maybe I'm missing the point. I'm not very good or experienced at these boards and I think I always put that on display.
 
Excited to start the day with pm's waiting for me! I'm being nosey asking about weekend activities and information about a camping adventure. Is it just me or does seeing messages in the inbox brighten the mood?
 
Depends on who they are from. :D
I'm sure that's more true for the ladies of Lit. My apologies for those of us males who have better manners. I will say I've gotten a few not happy surprises, but that's life on the internet I suppose. Hope today is a good one
 
I’m nosey about male fragility.

Fragility? There is always more to the story than the peanut section knows about. I see situations here that I suppose can be labeled as "fragility"...but they are not limited to a single sex...and they really do not have their roots in fragility. But this is the playground...
 
Oh, I have adapted to it. It's just become a way of life.


BTW, did you know I was a Marine?

You don’t call another man a marine , unless they earned it. Yes , I posted a locker room humorous post in a thread of yours , or a post of yours that I quoted in the other day. I am not a marine , army gun bunny , 3rd armored division. Support for the first Cavalry , back in the day.

I’m a citizen now.

Oh, I've been a civilian for quite some time now.

Best of luck with your situation , have you considered being a asshole just to change it up a little bit. Leave the toilet seat up or leave your dirty clothes laying around the house. Anything that pushes her estrogen buttons. Some of um get horny when their mad.

That's not in my nature. And that, is the overarching issue. I'm too nice.

In that case , just be patient , be you and some she wolf will sweep you off of your feet in due time. Nice guys that can fix a car , have a advantage over nice guys with a lit vocabulary for smooth talking or cat calling um.

Sincerely tho , good luck 👍🍀

Just an FYI, I have my English and Teaching degrees. My lexicon is astronomical
 
From a fast moving ten pages or so ago, I am married, have never denied it, and most of the time am up front about it from the get go. But anyone who is married knows marriage carries its own challenges. So you can stuff your sorrys in a sack.
 
I’m nosy about alt etiquette.

If someone was here before under a different name and came back later with a new name, how do you think they should handle interacting with people they had a prior existing “relationship” with? And by relationship I guess I mean they knew each other in more than just a friendly PM or two kind of way.

ETA- should they let the person know they had communicated before under a different name? Would it bother you if they didn’t?

I don’t understand why a person would establish relationships with people and then disappear and come back as someone else. I see so many people posting about alts that I’m guessing it must be a thing. If someone doesn’t like you or you can’t get along with someone why would you empower them by changing who you are?

Would that be the most honest approach? Yes. But "should" implies every situation is the same and will likely leave you frustrated. Be cautious if you are worried about such - but you could also take it as an opportunity to learn about this person in a whole new way.
 
I am horrible at knowing who is here with a new ID. I rely on others to warn me if there’s a new version of Ravi about
