So, I’ve been here for a bit, and I was wondering: What are the colored circles next to everyone’s names for? What decides the color of the circle? And just… why?
First year of college done, woo hoo!
Thank goodness I don’t need to take that public speaking class ever again…
Such a nerve-racking experience
Of course, it was very informative and useful, but it was a considerable stressor in my life
I strive to be grateful every day.
For every second of uninterrupted Wi-Fi.
For every minute of a warm, comfortable shower.
For every sip of fresh, clean water.
For every bite of rice.
And so on.
It would be hard to number all the things that I could easily take for granted. There is just so much to thank God for, to be grateful about.
I thank God for giving me loving parents.
I thank God for helping me maintain good relationships with my family and friends.
I thank God for keeping me, and all those that I care about, safe.
I am so grateful—or I like to think of myself as being that way, because I try my best to be.
Fortunately most of it was not argumentative, thank goodness
I would like to sometime get back to my music post but, I dunno, I’ve been busy lately and feeling conflicted
One thing I despise about myself is my resilience to different music genres. That’s kind of why I asked what genres people listen to—I expected there to be people listening to genres that I do not listen to, and I was correct. I hoped that by having people present these different genres, I would feel a bit pressured to listen to them. However, I was also correct in my prediction that, beyond that post, I would not dedicate myself to listening to most of those genres. Unfortunately, I just have some tendency to avoid music genres that I don’t already listen to. I seriously wonder why I’m so afraid of dedicating even a moment of my time to expanding my potential musical interests…
but then again, I’m sort of a workaholic and I treat every minute like work, in and out of a work environment

I told myself I wouldn’t log on here for a while but I let curiosity get the best of me… unfortunate
Oh, also I was in the ER so that warrants my due inactivity

Let me add on to this further. When you—someone with a dissenting view—chooses to insult me, you are making your cause appear much worse. It not only ruins your credibility, but it also dismantles the very integrity of your beliefs. It communicates to me, “This person has no empirical basis for their beliefs. They rely solely on intuition and personal experiences to guide their decisions.” Rather than relaying empirical and unbiased evidence to give reason to your beliefs and actions, I see you making insults based solely on prejudice and other forms of simple-minded heuristics.
Notwithstanding, I have a responsibility to lend an open ear to everyone, regardless of how inexplicably challenging it is to listen to them. I can only pray to God that people can bring themselves, in time, to the point of mere intellectual competency.
And why does this frustrate me so much? Because I cannot even obtain someone’s dissenting views, as they are too preoccupied with wanting to attack me. It’s seriously like dealing with children; they don’t have the mental capacity to hold a discussion without needing to squeeze their ego and feelings into the conversation.
I want to hear a constructive, informative description of your perspective. That’s all. I am asking for you to do the one thing you love to do most: talk about yourself. But, for the love of God, don’t give in to the childish impulse of throwing insults at me that deter meaningful inquiry. I am already being generous enough by trying to obtain a point of view that disagrees with my own. I don’t have my own views supported from hearing that. Yet, I still do it, because I know that thoughtful reasoning requires more than just one dominant perspective on a subject. So please—do me the favor of not needlessly interjecting with an insult.
It disappoints me that I live among a generation of people who cannot read past one paragraph without exclaiming, “It’s too much.”
There is genuinely no experience more frustrating than being completely unable to communicate with someone because their brain just shuts off after, “guh, information overload, I’m used to using Chat GPT to summarize everything but I can’t here.”
People need to incorporate active, critical reading more frequently in their lives.
Vent over.
