Its not okay, which is why Luciom just came back from a month off.

if I haven't been banned again though it means I am not doing "Mussolini daily in every thread" so why is such an absurd insult toward me allowed?

In which case, why did you need to say the same thing twice in the same sentence?

I offered two chances to understand and still..

might as well left it open if it was just gonna continue in here lol

also, if that's the standard, why is it ok for luciom to be mussolini in literally every thread on this forum? he says on a daily basis whatever craig is dancing around

if cher can drink tea with him, you can post with him


he says he's not tho

also i thought i was paying him a compliment, but i guess not (???)

:(:(

Oh, well, let me clue you into a little stylistic tip there, sport: when you juxtapose two phrases like that in close proximity and either one is open to interpretation, your reader is naturally going to assume that they mean different things.

I'll take your profuse gratitude for my patience in educating you on the finer elements of style as implied.

It is also noted that your self/soul analogy was also recently used to describe transgender people as having sacrificed their "souls" to a "group identity". I understood the motivation and aims of your word salad, and its not going to happen.

Please move on from this.

Growing up, I wanted to be a professional baseball player. When an injury ended my career, it felt like I was experiencing a death. This is because the identity of baseball player had supplanted my self / soul.


72off, please stop.

Humour is not for everyone, bro.

F is pretty harsh for someone's first ever shot at humour. Maybe a D-? Don't want to put him off for the rest of his illustrious posting career.

Something tells me that the Colonel is probably not a huge fan of radical leftist participation trophy culture.

You don’t think an identity crisis is real? I suppose those who have never experienced it wouldn’t know.

I guess your psychological torment is what separates enlightened souls like you from sheeple NPCs like us.

It's real enough for people with established identities but less real for someone wanting to be a pro sportsman. Plenty of time for you to retrain as something else, just as many do when made redundant or indeed many young would be sportsmen and women do when they don't make the grade (most of them).

There's a difference between having an identity crisis and being resistant to change.

Everyone experiences reality checks, but addiction to the comfort zone is the #1 addiction.

It’s funny when I throw out a follow up question and instead of pausing + reconsidering most people just keep digging.

It's funny, a guy in a large hole fiercely working a shovel and shouting incredulously at onlookers "WHY ARE YOU DIGGING?"

Yep, we live in different realities. Is politics the foundational level of truth?

Yeah bro, I don't really deal in "levels of truth", so again, I have no idea what you mean. Truth is binary.

There is the binary of in accordance with reality or not, and then there is more or less in accordance with reality.

You're going to need to give me some examples so that I can relate to what you're talking about. This is all far too abstract.

You don't seem to be any better at reading than you are at writing.

This is button level writing.


Is a reality check real? If so, what is it exactly? Can someone be disconnected from reality?


by craig1120

Is a reality check real? If so, what is it exactly? Can someone be disconnected from reality?

1. Define "reality check".
2. Define "real".
3. Define "disconnected from reality".
4. Do not use the words "real" and "reality" in the definitions.
