LETS GOOOOOOOO (General hangout thread)

[Kennifer]

I always feel so evil when I am scum and scum wins. >:D

[Superjohn 2.0]

Because sometimes you gotta be mean.

[~okami~]

Seriously it was rude

[Superjohn 2.0]

What did I do? I'm sorry if I offended anyone.

[Whistle]

I don't know what to do, but I'm crouching!

[Dookie]

crunvch

[~okami~]

Your reply in the ask thread

[Superjohn 2.0]

Oh that was meant to be a joke, I'm perfectly fine with peppermints.


Sorry if I came of a rude.

[~okami~]

Yeah well it wasn't funny

[Superjohn 2.0]

I apologise, I thought you were making a joke.

[~okami~]

It wasn't a serious question but saying "fuck no" or whatever the hell doesn't make something funny that isn't how comedy works

[Whistle]

[Kennifer]

I was confused and was wondering "wait what's so rude about posting an austin powers clip"

[Clancy]

Good morning.

Thought for the day: sometimes, a friend of yours will act in a way they shouldn't have. When that happens, sometimes you and they need to take some time to cool off, and then come back and talk about the situation calmly. Sometimes you won't be able to forgive your friend, if the act is particularly severe. But other times, if the act was comparatively minor or if the friend is genuinely repentant, you just have to find it in your heart to forgive them. If it keeps happening, then you don't need to continually forgive them; you don't have to be a sucker. But if it's just a one-time occurrence, and they're actually sorry, and no long-lasting harm was done, then you might just have to swallow your pride and your righteous anger and just forgive.

Of course, there's no easy way to tell whether the harm inflicted was in fact forgivable, or if the friend's repentance is actually genuine. But a blanket policy of "never forgive and never forget" is just as harmful as its opposite.

Thank you for your time.

[~okami~]

Lmao no I like austin powers

[Kennifer]

same

Austin Powers is hilarious.

[Whistle]

I mean... faking suicide over an incorrect form of roleplay is a very Tabby thing to do.

[Superjohn 2.0]

Wait what happened while I was gone?

[Clancy]

Again, don't be a sucker. If there's a long-lasting pattern of continual assholery, feel free to call them out at the very least, and cut all ties if worst comes to worst.

But not all offenses will be of that magnitude.

[Whistle]

Did you read the Murderverse OOC?

Apparently the abuse has been going on for months. Overlapping with that T situation.

[Superjohn 2.0]

I don't follow murderverse if you're replying to me.

If not ignore.

[Clancy]

The thing is, not all actions are equivalent. It all depends on how the actor handles the fallout of their actions.

Nobody's perfect, and as a matter of fact many people are decidedly imperfect. They may be genuinely suicidal or self-harming or clinically depressed. But that in itself is not an excuse to treat others badly, and if they realize that and apologize for their actions, then they're making a step towards being a more perfect person. And sometimes you have to respect that.

If you try to understand someone - if you try and empathize with them, try to figure out their reasons and their motivations - then it's easier to try to forgive them. Not always, but often enough. And I think I understand, and I think I forgive.

[Whistle]

When you've been betrayed multiple times, you might find people hard to forgive for what they did.

I'm not gonna lash out at her, though. I learned my lesson back with that other situation.

[Clancy]

I know. There's no easy way to figure out whether the person can be (or should be) forgiven, and that decision to forgive or not is very much a personal one. Those hurt by the actions in question will have to decide for themselves whether or not to forgive. But as for me, I believe in second chances, so I forgive, and probably will continue to unless worst comes to worst Tabby-style.

[Whistle]
