Topic: The Chit Chat Thread

@nessisonett man I’m at least glad you’re getting something out of this whole ordeal. I actually really like Stewart Lee, never went out of my way to consume anything beyond the surface level (ricky gervais might be the only comedian I ever had any deep investment), but I don’t have anything particularly negative to say either, which come to think of it probably applies to most comedians, like Katt Williams, so perhaps I’m just a tad more charitable than most of my peers.

@Ravix Well, there might be no human politics in the animal world, but I'd sure rather deal with some of our issues than predators and the like. I'm having a fairly good time here at the top of the food chain! Not to mention how many animals have societies and hierarchies of their own... and I doubt they're particularly pre-occupied with labour laws and equal rights. I don't think I'd want to become an animal under any occasion! Even a house pet sounds like a grand, boring time. Do I just sleep all day? Have my three walks a day to the food bowl? Maybe if I'm feeling risky, I'll jump on a kitchen counter. I'm good! No Princess and the Frog or pretending to be an animal for me!

And yeah, I hadn't followed any conversation about quicksand people before, but I'm with you on your interpretation. I think there's no good reason for someone to either jokingly or not refer to themselves as ''quicksand'' when it comes to women, because we all know the implication there. And it's not a positive one. Definitely not a topic I expected to be reading today!

I do love a good pat on the head, so I am fully on board with this transition to unicorn life for you. You ever had those times in primary school where the mothers of the children would come by once every few months to check everyone in your class for lice? How they put their hands harshly through your hair to check everywhere? I loved that as a kid. Basically just an aggressive head pat/massage. We can arrange that, can't we? And hey, no worries about noping out of anything. I've done it myself plenty times, and I'm not enough of a hypocrite to call you out on it! Totally understand.

@GirlVersusGame Amber does seem like quite the momabear in the conversations I've seen! I feel kind of bad when you're chatting with her through my DMs as I feel like I'm intruding on a private conversation, but it's hard not to notice when I get notifcations. I don't want to come in there and break up anything you two have going and I suppose this is one of the safe places where you can talk to each other, so I'm not telling you to stop as long as you both are comfortable that I'll be able to read along pieces of it here and there. I've also seen that she's very caring of you though, so I'm happy in a way to have seen both sides of her first-hand. I know you're in good hands! And to answer your question, Amber is totally a mother Mary compared to the logs of insults you showed me before. She comes from a place of love and care and I can see that, which is a totally different situation even when she's annoyed with you for whatever reason!

It must've been weird to sit in that room with the cognitive expert and have her touch perfectly on all your hobbies and interests. I assume that in the moment you didn't realise she was briefed on what to mention. She must have felt like some sort of oracle to you! I'm happy that they're taking good initiative to make sure you're feeling good and not just dragging you along for the ride no matter what, and that her professional opinion is that nothing irreversible is going on. I wouldn't be able to quickly say the alphabet backwards either nor ace spatial awareness. My spatial awareness is notoriously horrible. I usually try to sleep 7 to 8 hours on a day. I already get cranky with anything less than that, so I wouldn't be able to deal with your schedule at all if people expect me to be nice and pleasant. I hope that your next meeting with her went well and that you're mostly back to normal at this point!

I haven't posted much recently. I have been focusing on personal development in terms of a career in Counselling Psychology, and doing little things related to that I can't really talk about on here. Anyway, I have also been reading Daniel Deronda by George Eliot, about 500 pages into that. (It's an 800 page-long novel). So that's why I haven't posted in the 'Books Thread' recently, and I haven't gamed since last week either, so that's why I haven't posted in the PS5 Games Currently being played thread either, anyway that's some minor news about me. I also found out that a lot of secret same-sex activity goes on between some male rappers at parties according to something that popped up in my hip hop feed, and as a heterosexual Black-Technically-Mixed-Race Male, that's something that spoiled the hetero power aspect of the fictional alter ego a lot of rappers portray in their music for me, until I learned to separate the art from the artist, and also picking up from the internet that apparently that culture derives from the super hyper-hetero/masculine image a lot of these rappers feel obliged to portray in their public personas and lyrics, but, yeah, I just take what I want from hip hop and all music nowadays, following that reveal. You can't just throw it all out, and obviously LGBTQ+ activity in private, secretly away from a hetero-hyper masculine public persona isn't the same as the antisemitism, bigotry, racism and violence others have indulged in in their off-camera lives, probably quite different to the public personas they portray, and involving people of all genders and generations from most, if not all genres of music and art in general.

Perhaps this is one @GirlVersusGame would like to share her opinion on?

@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN that’s interesting, did you have any rappers in mind when you wrote this? Im curious who you meant exactly.
