Hummmm...well, to each his own... :bounce: According to science, I have a very high number of taste buds. This means my tongue is more sensitive to taste than others, thus I prefer plainer-tasting foods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superblue Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I will never stop my love affair with Subway. I could eat there every day and never tire of its deliciousness. However, does my being a trad make up for it? You still eat there knowing they make their bread with chemicals associated with plastic ? I am more aggravated that i know i have eaten there at least 3 times or more in my life growing up, and have no recourse for it. But then again, what ever i ate as a kid didn't kill me but that i think is diff than a company putting chemicals into a food that shouldn't have any other than what nature uses to make it but, what evs, subway sure did go above n beyond in their advertising after that story blew.

Nihil Obstat Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I caught the Norovirus from a sketchy little Subway in Snowshoe, Pennsylvania. Absolutely vile little virus. Luckily my bout with it did not last long. Unfortunately it swept through my and all the in-laws over a period of about three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 This is like Lent 2.0. Everyone needs to drink their coffee and watch My Little Pony or something. :unsure: i must be missing something. i don't see normal phatmass Lenten crankiness.

Lil Red Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 You are being repeatedly belligerent and uncharitable. You have been condescending (repeatedly telling me how I need to stop "putting stake in the future" and calling me "little one" which is perhaps the most condescending thing someone has ever called me) and you keep telling me information I already know. I am not having the best week, people on Phatmass everywhere are being snarky, and my BS meter has hit its full capacity. Please be a mature adult and respect my wishes. oh, I just needed to read more to find the Lenten crankiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I think that if someone tries to use humour to diffuse a tense or hurtful situation, it can instead be interpreted as being dismissive of the hurt or seriousness with which someone else involved is looking at the situation or discussion. Just tossing a comic or gif into such a thread then might not be as helpful as intended. I'm not certain that's what's happening here, but I know the reaction of "This isn't funny, I'm not being taken seriously" is one I've had (whether accurately or not). Which is why I'm offering this possibility here: I'm not sure it's been expressed, or listened to. unfortunately, as the last of 10 kids, I have often felt much like FP does, I think. (I dunno, I'm guessing.) Too many times I felt as if my older siblings were making fun of me or dismissing my feelings. And then, I guess I just grew out of the stage of thinking that everything they were saying was "obviously" meant to hurt me. Though we were family, they grew up very differently than I grew up, and their way of joking and trying to make someone feel better was different than mine. I don't know where I was going with this, other than trying to liken my family situation to what the phatmass family is kind of like, but I've probably failed. Ah well.

Lil Red Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I do not know how FP or Lilllabettt read your words, or their reactions to them. I can only offer what my impressions are and how they might 'trigger' reactions in me. From glancing back over the posts where you used the phrase, 'Only God knows the future,' I could read that as being dismissive of any ideas or hypotheses it was in reply to. Someone could have put some effort or emotion into a post or idea, only to have it shot down in (what could be seen as) an overly pious manner. Each person has his own boundaries when it comes to teasing. What 'Phatmass' (or a group of longstanding posters who know each other very well) says is an ok way to respond to each other may not be ok to any one person, and may not even be charitable in an objective sense (because a clique has formed, more focussed on itself than on God). Being called 'little one' will register differently with different people. It may be condescending for someone on the cusp of adulthood. It may be insulting. (Personal anecdote: when someone I knew quite well online decided to call himself a family member of mine, and then go around telling my (irl) friends how they should and shouldn't interact with me, it was not just condescending but a stepping over of boundaries and a kind of forced intimacy.) So someone old enough to be my grandmother, but who was not my grandmother, using such a term would be almost an attack on my own self (in a broad sense of the word - perhaps encroachment or trespass is better). The last part of your sentence 'But in the interests of peace, I will avoid teasing FP from now on - he obviously can't take it' reads to me as quite damning. The tone I read from that gave off superiority: he's not good/smart/clever/mature/enough of a man to deal with me, poor lamb. He gets excluded and I'll sit and chitchat with my friends. Communication is hard and online communication is harder. Everyone has their issues and deserves to be treated gently. The majority of people on Phatmass do not, I think, know each other well enough to be able to treat this place as though it were a living room full with their oldest friends. And once more: this is all how I can see myself having reacted to some of these things in the not-so-distant past. I do not claim that this is how anyone actually has interpreted things. TL;DR: Take care not to frustrate and upset people, as you do not know what they go through. Well, and how about take care not to take things so personally? I know I've backed off from phatmass just because I stopped realizing that it's the internet and none of you people are actually real. okay, i'm joking. :P But I was taking things too personally, from people that I've never spoken to off-site or know personally. Why should I take things so personally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 But I would suggest that you, and Lillllabettt and FP and everyone who sees evil intent in my posts to take a giant step back and try to be a little more charitable about my motivation. I don't come here to disrupt or to cause people pain - although this can occur, being the Internet. I come here to have fun. And by golly, until dUSt decides that I have stepped over the edge and he bans me, then I am going to do so - even if only a few oldies like myself, or perhaps other sarcastically minded phatmassers who like to have a good laugh, want to respond to me. I try to stay away from the really controversial threads, and had no idea this one would turn out the way it did. Wow. What a mind blower. ========tl;dr What in God's green earth happened to this thread???? who the h-e-double-hockeysticks knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Well, and how about take care not to take things so personally? I know I've backed off from phatmass just because I stopped realizing that it's the internet and none of you people are actually real. okay, i'm joking. :P But I was taking things too personally, from people that I've never spoken to off-site or know personally. Why should I take things so personally? I wasn't having the best week, so I didn't respond as well as I normally would. :P But do keep in mind that though I don't know most of you personally, as a person with a whopping one friend (turns out my crisis a few weeks ago wasn't just in my head), you guys are the next best thing that I have, so you all mean a lot more to me than just avatars who post memes.
