Absolutely. And if someone asked why I choose not to eat poop, I would tell them because it’s highly unsanitary and carries diseases. Besides, the flavor is not enjoyable and it provides little to no nutritional value, so there really is no reason to eat it.
Your turn.
When offered a new food, you can take it or not.
Since you seem to identify as one who would CHOOSE not to eat it, explaining why you MAKE THAT CHOICE is probably more what they were looking for, as opposed to cryptic sarcasm that leaves us with more questions than answers.
Literally cutting off his nose to spite his face.
“The intelligent, educated people that we rely on to create the products and services we make all our money on, are asking for compensation and must be eliminated from society!”
Hey now. Those were for his wife since he has to spend so much time on the road. Can’t blame a man for being a considerate husband!
Is it possible that they are giving you a playful ribbing? At every place I’ve worked you knew when you had become accepted when they started razzing you a little bit. Never anything too hurtful, at least not on purpose.
They might be waiting on you to join in and get a snarky remark in.
I really can’t think of any that weren’t worth the effort. Some took more effort than others, but even if they don’t make me any money, I don’t regret learning then.
You’re not supposed to soak them in your mouth overnight!
I think I get what you’re saying. Those are the talks where the conversation leads you thinking about something you never thought before, or thinking about it in a whole new way.
You want to have one of those conversations because the sensation of discovery feels good. It’s like a workout for your brain and you feel pumped up and stronger afterwards!
The problem is, you can’t really force it. Even if you go down the topics that usually get you there, you’re just regurgitating things that have already been said.
You just have to have lots of conversations with lots of different people and eventually you’ll fall into a discussion that really sucks you in and works those neurons.
I totally get it and am willing to have some exploratory discussions with anyone who’s interested!
Hey man, quit trying to smother your Dasher’s creativity!
I’m sure THIS will be the time anybody cares.
But hey, if not, you can always make another account next month!
Are you telling me no one has cleaned up here in over 200 years?
Can’t argue with that. There’s no excuse for leaving all these 200 year old scraps of paper all over the floor.
No. You got it all backwards.
That’s the world where you can’t even pour a bowl a cereal without a cartoon character trying to steal it!
And you don’t have to read a 5000 word essay about Grandma’s old farmhouse and how she would always make this dish for the kids after a long day of fishing in the creek.
I’d rather look something up and realize I didn’t have to, than not look it up and realize I should have.
To be fair though, it’s only been within the past two hundred years that we’ve seen progress like this. Before that, there really were generations between significant advances.
I really just wanted a cake, but I guess that’s the one thing it can’t do.
Not really. It sure can feel like it when you run into one, but people have been shit at everything since forever.
Are you telling me after all this time, that Slipknot DIDN’T write a song about the oppression in the Chiquita banana Republic?
They know that. They will call every number thats ever been associated with everyone you’ve ever known.
For some people it’s not that easy to recognize. Maybe OP has difficulty with social cues. I have no idea, but it could explain why they don’t understand why it keeps happening.
