Chaotic Coffee Klatch (tea also available)

[Strixaluco]

I thought we’d already covered the lack of maturity and trigger issue thing….

I realize there is no justification for such actions but if you’ve ever spent any time in Hillary, united states of America, at least you might understand. I’m in the sea of toxicity populated by stupid people. And that is the 100% truth. No hyperbole.
again, no justifications, just sayin’

Hey I know how easy it is to get triggered! I've lived on the countryside in one of the communities with the most far-right people in this country, and even worked with them. Some days skipping coffee breaks was the way to maintain my sanity...
Just pointing out that directing it another way may actually work better. You get actually other people on your side that way.

Not quite sure what you mean..

I’m in an extremely regressive community and extremely regressive and corrupt state in the United States. I said this in a reply earlier. I’m surrounded by toxicity and stupid people. #TRUTH Not to delve into sociopolitik. Just sayin…..

ever heard of a guy named Mark Twain? Another Missouri boy. I believe his quote was “never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you up with their experience.”

I’m already a coalition builder. You should see the group of people that are pissed at me when I pointed out how stupid they are…..

Sometimes I’m such a phukin delight!

There's another, don't know by whom: don't wrestle with the pig - you both get dirty and the pig enjoys it.

And that's indeed what happens, if you let them drag you to their level.

Calling people stupid never quite works how you think it should, does it?

I think it can safely be said, I got issues.

That might very well be Mark Twain also. Good one!!!

But I could be Oscar Wilde. I’m too lazy to google

…don't wrestle with the pig - you both get dirty and the pig enjoys it.

I never heard that before, and it made me laugh like a crazy woman.

 

[Strixaluco]

In all kindness - try to get them fixed. It's you who those affect the most.

And this from someone who has finally found the bottom of her own issue. I know I may still lash out (get a meltdown) if stressed too much, but I also know to walk away before getting to that point, if I have the chance.

I shall endeavor to emulate.

Ok . Haven't read back through all your posts. Welcome! Everyone here are good people!

Don’t bother on my part. Going back in the thread, that is. And I appreciate that. Glad to be here. I I have no doubts of your last statement whatsoever. I am however, still open to the possibility that at least one if not more, are part of the worldwide plot to piss me off, and sometimes it works!

You'll learn to know us, and then you'll know when it's just teasing or bantering, and who is maybe just socially clumsy (may include me!), who perhaps grouchy on his own, etc.

But I have to admit I have ignored one person just to keep peace. There's nothing wrong with her, we just manage to rub each other the wrong way, so it's better I ignore her to avoid nasty conversations.

I have to share this, because I think it is absolutely brilliant.

Appreciate you sharing your truth, but part of the ethos of THIS thread is that it is a politics free zone. There is a wide diversity of people here from all over the globe and for us to feel safe and playful in chaos, best to leave political commentary and religion at the door.
Please take this feedback in the spirit intended. I'm not aiming to offend.

And it needs to be reshared every now and then!

None taken. I was simply informing of my current situation. Not trying to start a political discussion.

Hmm. Less than 1h 30 to a call I rather take home. Is it enough to go shopping or not

Naah. It's not, in this state of the mind and body. Maybe I should try to deal with something I'd rather avoid but can't (if I want to keep my finances manageable).

 

[Kindfarmer]

Thank you

“Socially clumsy” um ……I’m almost 60, have means, good looking and I’m single. I wouldn’t know what you’re even referring to.

So what’s been going on for the last 15 pages or so? Work, sick child, and sleep deprevation has my head spinning and I don’t think I have the time nor mental capacity to read through it all.
