What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

[Wand3rlust]

I'm thinking about Lit friendships and trust. Should how I define a friend from Lit versus a friend in person be different?

For me, no different. If you're my friend, you're my friend. Do I treat you differently just cos I've never met you? No. I'd hope not.

Do lies of omission differ from outright lying.

No. They don't. As someone who has been on the wrong side of this more than once, I cannot tell you how much it damages your trust. I'm not pretending to be a hypocrite though. I'm sure I'm guilty of the same.

Should I be holding folks to the same level of accountability online as I do in person?

For me, it's the same. I mean, the nature of the relationship here is different. But. Behind the usernames, we are still all people. It's easy to forget that....

Does being on Lit as a married person already say all that is needed about someone's trustworthiness?

It depends. Does that one thing define a whole person? Life is complicated. People do what they need to do to make it bearable and themselves happy. No judgement from me.

At what point should we expect honesty and how do we know if someone is being honest?

I don't know the answer to this.

I have concerns.

They were real beans, I ran out of ice earlier

 

[AmberLGreen]

Now I am thinking if my bean turns purple half way through. Would stopping to get a mirror be considered as edging?

I still have concerns.

I'm a single man, I have to blanch my own stuff

I could not agree with you more and yet people twist and lie and claim that it is not the same until they believe it and if you say you expect or deserve honesty you are being foolish.
How can it be so different for people?

It depends. Does that one thing define a whole person? Life is complicated. People do what they need to do to make it bearable and themselves happy. No judgement from me.

I also agree with this. I am on Lit but also try to be as straightforward as I can. Do I make mistakes sure. We are all human. Do I own them, also yes. I offered this up because I've tried to figure out how some folks defend lies of omission and since Lit is often a lie or omission it seemed like it might connect

I don't know the answer to this.

Neither do I and therein lies the rub.
Thank you for your thoughts @Wand3rlust you strike me as funny and with snark but also direct with what you say.

I'm thinking about Lit friendships and trust. Should how I define a friend from Lit versus a friend in person be different?

No. There are a lot of two-faced people out there and sometimes it takes a longer time to see that other side of a person because of the anonymity of Lit. I feel that I am the same person on Lit as I am in person. Do I have bad days? Yes. Do I make other people feel bad because of it? I try not to. That's when I take a break.

Do lies of omission differ from outright lying. Should I be holding folks to the same level of accountability online as I do in person? Does being on Lit as a married person already say all that is needed about someone's trustworthiness?

I think it is different for everyone. Talk to the person privately if you feel a certain way. Passive aggressively talking about someone on a thread is just sad.

At what point should we expect honesty and how do we know if someone is being honest?

You should always expect the best out of people. In real life and online. If they give you less than that, let them go.

I can’t remember what a 10-56A is…I used to know.

 

[crazychemgirl]

Do you ever feel like you are screaming about the injustice of the world at the top of your lungs and no sound is coming out?

RIP Darth Vader.

 

[MrMakersMark]

Are Tuesdays really better than Mondays?

Wait, I'm an idiot.
Let me rephrase....

If not for the thread dedicated to Tuesdays on this URL, would Tuesdays really be that much better than Mondays?

No cause Tuesday is just Monday’s ugly step sister.

Wednesday is ok though

I think that’s the Packers record on Opening Day

 

[XShadynzX]

Don't go, buddy.

Ditto! But .. from someone who has done it ( and come back better than ever) you do whatever you need to do
Those who really matter will stand by you what ever you decide

Right?? Fuckers are twins! In fact, Tuesday is further from a weekend than Monday is.

It's a piece of shit day.

Saved only, as so many others things are, by tits.

If not for tits, Tuesday would be the asshole of the week.

As long as it isn’t purple for more than four hours

I just call it Second Monday.

 

[MrMakersMark]

I just call it Second Monday.

Yeah...pretty much.
That's it.
It's just the Devil giving us another shot at Monday.

No. Tuesday is the cunt of the week. Hiding behind Monday's awfulness and just when you think the worst day is over... oh wait. No. Here comes Tuesday to fuck with you all over again.

Fuck you, Tuesday.

So very, very true!
