1001 Ways To Appear Functional (even Though You're Not)

[Ronin]

That's precisely why I think it's a stupid thing to joke about.

It wasn't meant to be inclusive, Cash.

Never that. We are all too aware of how it feels to be ostracized, only in a subjective way....this is not a flaw, it's a fact.
And it is changing.

a stupid thing to joke about.

Sorry, I thought we were all joking!

How'd racism get into this? Don't we have enough of that shit on FB?

 

[Ronin]

How'd racism get into this?

It's already there.
Point being, I matter of fact pointed out some things just don't translate along, because the suppositions are default different.
Not a debate about racism or its effects.

Saying it's not all-covering How To Fake Normalcy strategy. :tup:

 

[Chimera]

Understood.
We be cool all around?
Because it matters.
To me.

 

[Ronin]

Cool with ya, not cool with that as a system, if that translates, moving on, in every case.

It is a sad commentary that a thread like this, which I think is terrific for good humor amid all the other serious issues in other threads, has to bog down in "correctness." This election year and all its babble is as insane as any one of us! And this was a cheerful, neutral corner to come to, away from all the anguish.

 

[Ronin]

"correctness."

It's not about correctness and it's not about one country's elections, so please don't think of it in those contures.
I merely pointed out for many of the people on the forums, such style of joking could be a security risk, very fast causing them trouble, in the worse (and not too far off) case scenario.

Nothing more, nothing less. This is not about politics but lived experiences. Please do not twist reality. Thank you.

 

[stillstanding2]

It's not about correctness and it's not about one country's elections, so please don't think of it in tho...

OK. Didn't mean for anyone to take my joke seriously and put themselves at risk. But damn, let's keep this thread light. We need it amid all the other fear. :wideeyed:

THESE ARE JUST JOKES, FOLKS!!! :laugh:

How to appear functional: If in doubt, get another oatmeal instead of speaking up.

Or whichever your meal du jour is at the moment.

Wake up, get dressed and be out around others...all the while wanting to run screaming in opposite direction

I used to duplicate and triplicate lab samples and keep 'em 'around,' so if anyone ever asked me to join 'em at the bar after work, I could say "Sorry, I've got a lot of labwork to catch up on.'

also: "It's always Tuesday in my world," with a cheeky grin, when you can't remember the day (or potentially, anything else calendar related)
