Heh! Here I come.
- There isn’t anything we do that’s risk free, or we aren’t living much. If we have to go let it be quick. – Adirondackwannabe.
- In my interactions with people on Fluther, I try to respond to things people say in a way that shows that I haven’t written them off as decent, well-meaning citizens of the tide pool. That may mean just letting some sharp remark slide on by, counting it as a miscommunication rather than a personal affront. It always means abstaining from ridicule and insult; as good as it may feel to deliver a good burn, it clearly signals to your target that you have no esteem for them, and they will feel no compunctions at all about behaving like an asshole toward you. It may mean taking a deep breath and reaching out a hand of friendship—adding them to your fluther or sending a positive PM, for instance—to someone you’ve had some conflict with. I’ve seen that completely transform the way someone interacts with me. – thonimmud.
- Not if the invading country was Vietnam- it’s about time that we had a Mafiosa president! Brian1946 Love that word “Mafiosa” :D
- Those aren’t rich people; they’re common people with lots of money. The mindset is completely different. Common people tend to run into issues when they have more money than they’re used to, and thus sometimes wind up back where they were after a year-long shopping spree, but unlike the truly rich, they’re at least aware that not everybody can afford the things that a millionaire could buy with relative pocket change. They don’t get that, to those living paycheck to paycheck by necessity, buying a $15,000 certified used car instead of a $1,500 Craigslist car simply isn’t an option, and truly don’t get what it’s like to choose between rent or food. And I’ve even seen previously poor people that worked their way up lose touch. – jerv
- No one (that I know of) is really a wizard fighting the dark forces of an evil powerful wizard while going to wizard school, but so many love reading Harry Potter. It’s because we can let our imaginations fly into a different world with different rules. – zenvelo.
- I would say, “If you’re just being yourself, enjoy it.” Those other people are probably knocking you down because they don’t have the courage to not follow the crowd. You are much more likely to be a happy and well adjusted adult than they are. ibstubro.
- Ugliness – as with beauty – is as ugliness does. You might want to turn your focus to other people and not worry about your looks. janbb.
- I must say more often than not, it feels like we’re all stuck in one house and boarding up the windows against a zombie invasion. Symbeline.
There’s more, but now I can’t find them all. So… let’s just consider it part 1. I’ll return with part 2 soon :p
