Sure. Believe it or not, I'm not rubbing my hands together and cackling like a witch between bars while I'm writing. I don't even consider how the readership may be provoked while I'm writing CC. Except to the extent that hate comments have actually inspired a sentence here or there. The provocation is actually entirely unintentional in this case.
If you were a real king, you'd have called it 'our royal dong' and 'our hands,' and used 'we' instead of 'I.'
Ah, okay. Great. I can be forgiven for the misunderstanding given the context of the discussion, I hope
Did you mean Windsor Castle?
In my experience, people who brag about their lack of a filter (while claiming they're practicing "tough love") just want to act like assholes in public without owning the consequences.
Enunciate for goodness' sake.
Suppose it was your wife's wedding ring. Then would you be of sufficiently 'robust fortitude' to pick the value out of the shit?
I'm here to people-watch. If I read you right, and I'm sure I do, you're one who's 'willing to wound but afraid to strike'. I'd place you at the 'virtue-signalling sensitivity' end of the spectrum.Some people mellow as they age, and some people rot. The rotting ones become the stereotypical crotchety old farts who yell at clouds and watch cable news all day.
The rotting old-timers who write Lit stories earn a 2.60 score then come to AH to vent their spleen.
Full disclosure: I’m an old fart who tries to mellow gracefully but occasionally lapses into yelling at clouds.
Whackdoodle is a sick mother fucker
If he were King Charles, he would have had a Queen to do that sort of work, and he would have huffily complained that 'one's hand is trembling'. I sense that neither of you has actually been to the Palace.
Utter lack of any sense of humour, as expected.
No. You're so busy making assumptions about people here, their motivations and intentions, you fail to see anything that doesn't fit those assumptions. Your agenda seems focused entirely on maintaining your sense of superiority. Mine is is primarily to entertain myself and hopefully others who recognise that.
“Virtue signaling” like “tough love” is another dodge people use to avoid accepting the consequences of being an asshole in public.
Really? Do you think it's going to rain?
Here in LA the heat wave has broken, but it doesn’t feel like we’re about to get any rain. Why do you ask?
Here in Cuayan, the typhoon hitting Taiwan is still dragging the western monsoon up over our roof. It's good to know life isn't so damp for everyone. I can't say it better than your countrypersons, Bon Jovi. Have a Nice Day.
I'll try to take comfort from in fact there's only one thing worse than being responded to, which is not being responded to. Have a nice day.
It's irksome but it makes your position weak. Arrogance is self sustaining though; I understand.
As expected.
I'll try to take further comfort from in fact there's only one thing worse than being responded to twice, which is being responded to only once.
I like this line. It seems almost Austen-esque to me.
