2023-11-25 at 1:42 PM UTCwe don't even have a term or word you can use to say "yes" or acknowledge that you are hearing what someone says, that doesn't have some sort of potentially disrespectful connotation to it. like say someone tells you or asks you to do something or whatever, if you say "yes" it sounds almost too formal like you're being sarcastic, if you are just like "yea" it probably sounds too casual, same with "yep", or you could try being like "affirmative" or "10-4" but those might come off as kinda goofily sarcastic or something like that. so then because of this damn near every single interaction you might have with someone has the potential to create a fuckton of wierdness and misunderstanding so then everyones just fuckin noided out all the time that other people are being condescending but probably the only fucking reason that is happening in the first place is because theyre just tripping out in their own head and there is literally no way to NOT sound condescending because of this fucked up ego warping shit we've decided to project on our language. its almost like the Japanese honorifics thing where verbs are conjugated differently depending on how close your relationship to the person you are talking to is, and if you are too informal or formal, you run the risk of offending the other party. EXCEPT in japanese at LEAST you can get it right whereas in english youre just FUCKED from the get go no matter what. THERE IS NO RIGHT ANSWER. WERE JUST GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS NO MATTER WHAT. like what the hell is actually wrong witjh you lol. why is that appealing? in other languages you just say "ng" and move the fuck on with the conversation but NOPE NOT IN ENGLISH WE GOTTA FUCKING GET OFFENDED AND ACT WEIRD ABOUT IT.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

that makes no sense whatsoever -
2023-11-25 at 2:31 PM UTCFundamentally speaking, if you think about it actually it does make quite a lot of sense at the end of the day per se, heard.
