If a staff member ever spoke to me that way—honestly, I wouldn't just walk out—I’d be so compelled to tell everyone I know about them! It wouldn't even be about avoiding their food at that point; I'd practically be doing their marketing for them! Can you imagine? Such a bold move would practically guarantee word-of-mouth publicity! ☕

Kate James3 Asks:
Can you really put a price on true connection? Honestly, sometimes I think a well-placed, colorful swear word can actually be a sign of an incredibly high level of friendship and trust—it’s all about that raw openness and being unapologetically honest with one another! Don't you think?.
Is it just me, or do some people seem perfectly fine being treated a certain way by their inner circle—you know, that close-knit group of friends or their social "tribe"—to the point where they don't even register insults? It’s almost like those sharp words just slide right off them! Usually, this happens within that private, intimate bubble—that core "crew" you hang out with every weekend. Why is that? Is it true comfort, or just a total lack of boundaries?

Words don't actually carry any inherent weight on their own—they're just empty vessels, really. Their true power, their actual substance, is entirely dependent on the meaning we choose to project onto them! It all comes down to interpretation, doesn't it? Everything hinges on context.

Everything highlighted there? It’s nothing more than an excuse—purely rhetorical!
So, I could honestly just go ahead and tear you apart—maybe even pick your pockets while I'm at it—since we’re such "close friends," right?

There is a massive difference between being direct, open, and honest in a conversation—and just being a complete jerk. Just because someone decides to start hurling insults at you doesn't mean they’re suddenly "telling it like it is," right? Being abusive isn't a substitute for being truthful.

What are you even saying when you claim that words don't matter? Honestly! Do you have any idea how many people have frozen in their tracks, lost their lives, or completely withdrawn from society just because of what someone else said? I’m not even talking about profanity or crude insults here—I mean the weight of language itself. It carries a heavy burden, doesn't it?
So... it turns out that words really can carry some serious weight sometimes, don't they?

An excuse? In a context like that, you can't really call them swear words. Nobody’s actually being insulted.
Insulting someone and stealing from them aren't even in the same ballpark.

There’s a massive difference between being direct and honest versus just being an asshole. Just because someone starts throwing insults doesn't mean they're actually being truthful. Is swearing really a guarantee of sincerity? Not even close.

Sure thing.
A little swearing here and there isn't really a big deal. I'm not talking about being aggressive or making threats. Just a bit of flavor, you know? Something mild. How stupid can you be? Or? Which K do you want? Or? Man, you won't believe what just happened to me.So, we're talking about social circles. Friend groups, maybe just acquaintances.

You say words don't matter? Really? Do you have any idea how many people have frozen up, ended their lives, or completely shut everyone out because of what others said? I’m not even talking about swearing or insults here. I mean just... words. In general.
So... words really can carry weight sometimes.

Of course they don't have any inherent meaning. It’s all just about what we decide to give them.
Swearing can actually be a sign of deep trust and a solid friendship. It shows you're close enough to be totally open and honest.
Sometimes, people use it just to show they’re comfortable with the group—that they don't see those words as insults. It usually happens within a tight-knit circle of friends.

Words don't have any inherent meaning on their own. They only mean what we decide they mean. In the end, everything comes down to how you interpret the context.
Or just sell it to someone for 30-$13.

RIP Reddit, abandon ship!

Is there any alternative for searching? Nothing too complicated, obviously.
Just enough so I can actually find my own posts...

Exactly.

And searching through a thread is just as essential.
Search is one of the core functions of any forum.

Maria Parker77 said:There’s only one thing that’s actually impossible for us: not existing. We’re constantly shifting through this weird illusion we call time, but there's no way around it—we exist, one way or another. 🎉

Just kidding, lol

Seriously though, everything that exists stays part of existence forever, and stuff that doesn't exist? It’s never gonna happen. 🕺

Can you extinguish a fire once it's gone?
Or sink a ship that’s already underwater?
What about paper after it's burned?

Michael Gonzalez77 said:But what about when you're fast asleep? Then you aren't? 🤔

You're denying the antecedent. That's a logical fallacy. 😉

Then again, maybe thoughts are happening during sleep. It's just that there's no conscious awareness to pick them up.

I think I do. 🍿
You could try selling them as collectibles. Not directly, though.
If those are your arguments, I don't even know what to say...

The core issue was laid out a long time ago.

Besides, there's a massive difference between quoting some "scientists" (populists?) and actually looking at how things stand in reality...
William Richardson2 said:As far as I'm concerned, I agree with closing this thread.

For the last few months, half the posts have just been casualharbor9's links about the exact same thing—this supposed unprecedented catastrophe. The other 50%? Mostly just ad hominem attacks. I feel like this specific thread has seen more personal insults and vitriol this year than all the other threads on the entire forum combined...

It’s definitely turned into the worst topic on the natural science boards...

brightpuma said:of course.. ☕
those are probably the same "experts" who blamed every single casualty in the year of Chernobyl and the one after for radiation deaths... ☕

The whole casualharbor9 routine was just spamming piles of links, half of which have nothing to do with actual natural science and aren't far from what you call baseless platitudes...
plus, radiation is a boogeyman for most people. It's easy to trigger hysteria with it...


I completely agree...

Instead of actually addressing other users' arguments, he just twists them and adds his own—often baseless stuff, lacking logic or science... plus confirmation bias...
not to mention the ad hominems...
