At least people on coke are fun. Can't be doing with the guy that smokes weed and ignores everyone for the rest of the night. I've never tried cocaine but I've always hated the messiness of it. People do lines off dirty surfaces or snort it from a key. They must lose like 20% of it, and it's spenny too. Just get a tiny spoon or something you useless cokeheads.

    It's old-fashioned informal writing. Until about 20 years ago, the vast majority of writing was formal writing. Formal writing follows formal speech patterns, with proper sentences and commas and full stops. This is what you'd learn at school. When we talk informally, everyday, we don't actually talk like that. We talk more in fragments. An ellipsis is sort of the old person's way of separating these fragments. Younger people tend to press enter and send another message to separate the fragments. Maybe the oldies get annoyed at young people sending multiple messages when it could have been one.

    "No circumstances" is a bit extreme. What if we were under active invasion by super nazis that wanted to force us to eat our pets and outlaw pubs?

    Had the week off work to become nocturnal and teach our little one to sleep better. Pure hell, I don't even think it's made much of a difference. My mates in the group chat were sending me videos of their babies falling asleep easily. Bastards.

    Nothing you said is wrong there, I'm just saying it sucks on our end too. It sucks that women would rather walk past a bear than me, purely because of the way I was born. Sucks that if I mention being upset about it I get told that "I'm the reason she picked the bear". So much vitriol. I can handle it but I know lots of men can't and end up in Andrew Tate's lap. This entire thread is a perfect example. It's not helping.

    And I know you're probably going to reply and say that women have it worse because they get raped, and you're right, but it doesn't make me feel any better the next time a woman gives me a wide berth in the park for no other reason than my gender.

    This seems like an odd thing to say. Like it doesn't matter if it's true or not, just which "team" is saying it.

    I'm personally at 0% risk of slipping into the manosphere, but can you see how this sort of talk would push somebody more vulnerable into it? All I've said is that men are treated differently because they're suspected of being rapists and according to this thread I'm a) a conservative (nope) and b) part of the problem (i.e. I'm a rapist?). I'd never usually say anything because I know this is the way discussions always go, but I guess I was feeling ambitious today.

    I just think it's fair to be upset about being treated differently because of the way you were born. You can't immediately start pigeonholing people if they show the slightest annoyance at being treated like a rapist.
