@mee___maw I'm afraid you've just rolled me over and exposed my soft abdomen to the world. All I can do is flail my many tiny legs around and hope no one now takes the opportunity to poke their proboscis into me and suck out all my innards.
@ParasiteSteve@Cornell_Slampig Laughed and then farted and then laughed again and then did three quick farts in rapid succession that STUNK to high heaven
around 200 likes at most is to be expected for cod clips on twitter man, on my old account I was posting some of the more creative non-cod clips that have ever been hit, and my highest engagement was like 300 likes on a Gmod shot involving portals. Ya sorta gotta game the algorithm by doing something appealing to even people outside the comm if you want a hit now.
"Lynchian" as an adjective has ruined people's ability to engage with Lynch's work. I'm so glad internet irony didn't spoil my first impressions of his work.
@ankitiscracked@neervj Afaic he was pretty much the completion of the surrealist's project... The greatest American filmmaker of OAT. A latter-day prophet. A madman. The most idiosyncratically beautiful artist I had the pleasure of living at the same time as. Enjoy your foray into his work! :)
Brah the exact situation in your OG post provides a direct counter to that being the best way to go, in that you can end up wounding people more by having them catch on, by circumstance or them figuring it out on their own, that you don't like them and have fabricated a way to not let them know this. It's actually respectable and requires a bit of backbone to just frankly tell someone "hey, I'll be honest, I don't think I want to be friends with you. You're all good, I just don't personally feel I mesh with you well." or something similar.
I wish that more people had dispelled my uncertainty, worry, and desire to try to work out how to behave with them by just telling me how they felt outright, but a lot of people use the strat you're talking about. You're actually not preventing them from being hurt or saving yourself the hassle by continuing the ruse, generally, unless there are extenuating circumstances, like you suspect the person will blow up on you or become vindictive if you just let em know (what I'm advocating for assumes that someone is a fairly sane, reasonable person).
Told my roomate who I absolutely never want to hang out with that I had no Halloween plans right before my gorilla costume arrived in completely transparent packaging
fairs.. my post applies more generally than just your specific situation tho. Always gets me down that people are just lied to and never really know why others don't wanna hang out or if someone does or doesn't like em. Gotta be a bit more direct both for their sake and your own I reckon.
