@JungeToerless Situationships as a thing and being a chud incel loser are probably connected, right? People are less and less ok with committing and being anchored down, but they’re also just as afraid of being a chud incel loser. At no time have these 2 fears been as potent it leads to stuff
@eksdms_k@aghssms2037 Yeah I don’t think anyone did anything wrong in this situation too, but everyone in this thread is insane lol no one would beat someone up for using the wrong greeting to address someone, and it’s also true that in the states the old/young social division is far weaker
@eksdms_k@aghssms2037 Yeah? What’s up is a general greeting I use with older people. Maybe if they are literally 80 years old and I need them to sign off on something for me I’d be overly polite but I think universally one tends to be overly polite when you’re in a situation with a power imbalance
@JungeToerless Imagine a weasley 19 year old little twerp talking to the prof after class like “is there anything being published today as good as to the lighthouse” while pushing his glasses up, I think the natural reaction to that kind of person is to throttle him like Homer
@JungeToerless I have a bad reaction to Faulkner these days cause I had a phase in high school where I was annoyingly obsessed with him. The only time I’ve been “oneshot” was reading the S and F, for like three years I was like an annoying “we peaked at the modernists” chud
@re_qu1em Roland obviously isn’t the black silence, he doesn’t have the build or intellect, the black silence has to be bulky and intelligent and have the ability to use a jump pack of some sort, maybe like some kind of gorilla from the moon
@hellspatisserie Graduate schools now require people to have publications from undergrad lol it’s over, it used to be a thing that would gild the lily but no even if you did yrs of research they don’t care anymore unless you have first author on a paper on some worthless bullshit
