  • Well this is different from my experience … my whole working life I’m accused of being the antisocial one because I’m not tripping balls at everyone in the morning.

    There I was sipping coffee and desiring my space for contemplation… and that is the ‘norm’?

    I feel seen.

    loud, obnoxious entitled complainers

    loud, obnoxious entitled complainers

    You Had it right there. Just use that.
    yes: it’s wordy. But it is on topic. And it will never fall out of meaning or relevance. Because it’s practically a dictionary description.

    This is what communication is. It relays your actual meaning with clarity.

    loud, obnoxious entitled complainers can’t wriggle of it with side arguments and assumptions about your narrative of the situation . They don’t take offence to it for the reason you think they are taking offence to it. They are taking offence to the blatant sexism you think you just got away with. And you’re making them look right when they point it out. So using ‘Karen’ as an insult is doing more damage to you than anyone you think you’re describing. Same could also be said about ‘cunt’ too. It just sounds like you’re trying to be an edgy 12 yr old gamer who just discovered the ‘n’ word and have become obsessed about it for no other reason than to push buttons. You can come up with all the Aussie backstory you want about it but then it turns into a story about you struggling to not look bad. It’s no longer about the loud, obnoxious entitled complainers. If anything, shorthand is false economy when you have to spend 40 more words to explain yourself on what you could have done with just 4.

    You have much faith in humanity if you think that is being done simply because they don’t know.

    There’s plenty of manipulative assholes misusing it and trying to hide behind it to take advantage of someone with it. And you’ll see that manipulation in every group. Con artists are everywhere. Don’t blame the game. Blame the player.

    “Person with addiction”

    It’s too easy to become apathetic when human keeps getting take out of the descriptor. As a person can change so the descriptor isn’t their only identity. The ‘person’ will always remain while the association can change.

    Additionally, we shouldn’t let doctors off the hook too easy to stop remembering they are humans with a problem and they are not ‘the problem’.

    “Junkies”

    These are people with addiction. they are people who have a problem. A common problem. And some starting with injuries. And they are vulnerable and taken advantage of the most by the very people making money off of them. People with addiction take the most blame and treated with utmost contempt for the very issue that is caused by the people who create the issue in the first place : Doctors and the pharmaceutical industry.
