Some of these seem to have had insightful and worthwhile commentary. Of course, I might just be saying that because I think they're right.

Regardless of how you feel about what the answers are, what makes you think people are lying, rather than speaking the truth as they see it?

Maybe they aren't for you? For me phone calls are always stressful and there's some variance to how much but always significantly more than text.

Expecting mommy to fix everything while at the same time throwing endless tantrums making it harder if not impossible?

Yeah, that checks out.

Voice calls don't have the same costs for everyone. I've worked in tech support, taking calls all day, and that shit wore on me. Dealing with text is just lower cost, at least for me. Pretty ableist to just declare one medium the one true medium, all others are a sign of ineptitude.

Might be worth noting, also, that an earlier generation said the same goddamn thing about phone calls, as compared to F2F interactions.

Somehow, the tune always changes, but the dance steps remain the same.

Sorry, can you unpack that?

Can we not post cutesified fash propaganda?

Yeah, with their mission trips, and their door to door no-jesus salesmanship, I hate having to deal with atheists always coming around trying to convince me that I don't need to believe in a god at risk of burning in hell forever. Fucking atheists.

I absolutely did not win the genetic lottery. On a very good day I might be a 4. I also have a confusing to me amount of romantic success. Like, dating multiple people, and this having been the case for years, successful. It's not about winning the lottery, it's about cultivating yourself as a person, and being open to opportunities.

Transphobia reliably causes brainrot. It's weird how much faster and harder the effect seems to be relative to other bigotries, but look at Graham Linehan and how he burned his life to the ground.

Oh God. He's on his supervillain arc (this isn't even his final suit).

Not necessarily. It might end up being another Voat.
