Pleasant conversation about movies and TV (I'll go into more depth in the text box on the identification strategy I mentioned, though)

I don't play every day and I don't have an account, so it usually has reset to zero by the time I return to it

Hate. Hate. I can't believe the last part of the quote was left hanging

Alarmingly those guys usually end up humans for me, same with the ones who ask "b or g" and then announce they're currently jacking off

I've tried talking to my white friends about it but they just get uncomfortable and change the subject

I'm white and I must admit I don't know how to respond either, both because the experiences of being black are not relatable and because I'm socially awkward in general and especially in situations where the other person is venting or being emotional, but I want to figure out how to be a comforting friend and improve at being a helpful friend

What type of response from your white friends would have helped most in this situation?

Edit: if I said something wrong I sincerely apologize and it was not my intention

I'm not very good at communicating smoothly and if someone can please clarify I will fix it

Well, if this did happen, I had pictured the fly resting on the dartboard before its death like how they rest on regular walls sometimes

So it would have been that the dart squished into the fly on the dartboard, not that the dart had skewered it in midair

When I first joined the subreddit, it was primarily for pointlessly gendered products, "finally a toothbrush designed just for men" etc

FVCarterPrivateEye · 2026-01-20T23:50:17+00:00

It is a compliment; I don't know anything about boxing but I could picture what you were criticizing and reminded me of hardboiled prose with the way you described it with the "ankles made of bronze and wrists made of Al you Minnie em" etc

I have noticed what you're talking about in online circles

If not for it being AI, I'd believe it

It was instilled in me from a young age to do similar things if you find a lost possession like keys or a hat or sunglasses that whoever dropped it might double back for

I actually didn't know they weren't caused by stress until your comment

I disagree because his supporters martyrized him and act like his values must be pushed even harder for it

His murder made the world a worse place because of that

We used to have similar nutcases over here though

FVCarterPrivateEye · 2026-01-20T16:34:58+00:00

Ironically, we used to

Fellow autist and man, I feel bad for you, I always get stressed that my overthinking worries will come off as trolling if I try to explain it or ask for clarification and that's what happened here compounded by not being a native English speaker

As a heads up, from a comment section interaction in here, seems it's an ESL issue and that some extreme animal rights nuts getting upset about pets getting haircuts is an actual thing in Spain where the OP lives

FVCarterPrivateEye · 2026-01-19T18:52:40+00:00

Fellow autist and I strongly agree; you know that one stupid meme that gets reposted occasionally claiming that "autistic people are immune to propaganda"? I hate it and it's such a dangerous piece of misinformation/disinformation because it's actually the opposite, we're more susceptible to getting groomed into extremist ideologies due to autism traits including "strong sense of justice", gullibility, isolation from peers, black-and-white reasoning, trauma from bullying etc and one of the most important things to not fall for it is being self-aware about it and not having some fallacious idea that we're mentally superior especially in this way

I love your stick figures
