    It’s funny how you’re acting superior but have no problem judging the world I must live in as being shitty.

    Well yes. Because Im judging the world you live in, not you. I’m saying that if you go around doing this, you’re going to see nothing but misery and contempt everywhere you go. You on the other hand are openly mocking a person. There is a difference between these two. Should I get the crayons to help out on that explanation? And if you want to whine that I’m not being nice to you, you broke the social contract and decided that it’s okay to mock people to make the world better. I’m just using your rules.

    The difference between you and I is that I don’t lie to myself.

    It’s a subtle difference but actually leads to living in a world that is less shitty.

    Ahhhh, my mistake. Sorry. I didn’t realize that attacking people for how they look actually makes the world less shitty. Makes total sense.

    Maybe one day you can join me but you’ll need to let go of that gate your keeping yourself behind.

    Brother, you are openly judging someones appearance and saying you’re allowed to mock them but saying I’m the gatekeeper?

    Good luck with that.

    By the way, I’m still waiting for you to post what you look like.

    I mean you’re saying that we get to mock people based off of appearance to make the world better. Show yourself. Let us see what you look like. Never know. Maybe the world needs to be made better?

      I look like shit, but that guy is going to die if he keeps taking such high doses of steroids. I don’t celebrate the life choices of an emaciated heroin addict, and while I might not mock them either, it’s understandable we might socially acknowledge that their behaviour is undesirable for a number of reasons. There’s no need to eradicate any and all perceived criticism of others’ choices, it feels a bit like you’re using it as a cudgel or some sort of weaponised purity test.

      or

      “I hope he reads this bro”

        Okay, show us your life choices so we can judge you. I mean if it’s killing you, we’re allowed to mock you after all. Right?

          You rely on that rhetorical device a little too much.

          In my daily life I expect, receive, and largely accept criticism for any poor decisions. I choose not to broadcast my daily life to the world via social media.

          Your behaviour, ironically, comes across as bullying.

            And there it is. You believe that it is acceptable to bully someone so long as they publicly show their face and you are not willing to show yours because you are hiding from the same criticism.
