Fair, they can certainly hurt legit, uncommon thoughts... I use them as a minor guide but certainly not the end-all, and have spoken adamantly over the years about comments whose vote counts I strongly thought should be flipped in polarity (in both ways).

Mine tried Signal and then vehemently returned to WhatsApp...

All right, you go first.

Sure, though I think concern over misinterpretation is worthwhile! Generally, votes are an indicator of that, I think.

Wait, by "some conversations," you weren't hinting at the very conversation you have been participating in?

If so, you realize that you could have dodged all of those downvotes with just a changed comment start of, "Agreed. In fact, […]" instead of proceeding immediately with the "some conversations"... right?! Communication is vital...

I have no idea. I've never played any of these before.

Man, in that case, you should have recorded the sessions and put them up on YouTube with laugh tracks. Then they'd be hilarious!

Ooh, true. I hadn't thought of that.

Sorry, I had vaguely felt like my sentence back there could get misinterpreted after I typed it, but I didn't know how to word it in any other way, so I had just proceeded. Haha.

I can't know the unforeseen consequences of it.

This is... amazingly insightful (even though we should already know about this through all the time-travel dramedies we see, lol, but I guess I just forget to apply it to my own life regrets)... What a great neutralizer of negativity. Thanks for the reminder...

Good stuff! For me, that's figuring out how to automate as much as I can of my everyday tasks, both at work and home, with my poor coding skills, haha.

But... since your grades tanked, isn't that bad?

Oh, right, okay, you meant mission-critical stuff. I was thinking of the ADA Act and the "No response" option when job applications ask if you have a disability.

Well, now that borders on arrogance lol but I was going to say that that sure seemed like a healthy view, because there are certainly things I'd back and change if I could, even if it was mere exposure to certain ideas or my interpretation of them

I don't get it. I also can't remember much of the movie (though I sure remember what plants crave!).

That's too bad. I hope you can recover.

Does that mean you absolutely love yourself in every way?

Sure, but the whole point is what the biggest changes likely were.

How so?

Go on...

I pulled myself off it and my school grades tanked.

So does that mean you put yourself back on it after or what happened?
