What's worse is that in society you are supposed to say things confidently even when you are not confident in your understanding of the topic.

I find this hard to believe. Are you being truthful with your assertion? In reality, do you believe there are those who would access the internet, and obstensibly impose a digital artefact while maintaining a wholly different reality than what they are stating?

In all seriousness, yeah, I've always felt "behind the curve" in terms of layers of irony/sardony/satire/untruth and I feel like I CBA to keep up with it any more. I think the best remedy is to take what people say at face-value and let them bear the responsibility of any consequence of that.

Or at least, I like to think I do. I'm still curious to know if the youngun's actually believe in "dimensional shifting" or if it's just a bit. It's a bit right?

speaking as someone who does that: sometimes you just need to say things. yeah, it sounds horrible, but: it's like a rhythm game. sometimes the notes just come to you and you just gotta. hit it, to keep the tempo of the conversation. my sentences are usually 70% caveats by content, but sometimes you just can't get these in and it sucks but that's how it is

obviously if the topic at hand is serious, folks shouldn't do that, but

yeah dude i dont give a fuckkkk
