Murdered by Words

Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

I do agree. Are my words somehow offensive or dismissive?

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for asking. Not offensive to me personally just felt like it didn't quite capture what what's going on in my view.

Idk, when I was growing up, add/adhd, dyslexia, asd were unidentified, so I’m trying to learn because i feel I’ve two of the three conditions. I muddle through as best I can.

Same. Autism was only for the most extreme cases as far as I knew and ADHD wasn't diagnosed often. I didn't get diagnosed until I was 40.

Wow. Have things improved since?

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely. Between therapy and meds it has definitely helped me in pretty much every area of my life. It's still challenging but less so.

I’m so happy you got treatment that works for you; in a just society, everyone could.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Too true. Healthcare including mental health care is a right. Nobody should suffer because they lack funds.

When we stop funding death, destruction and climate extinction, we can fund life more abundantly. Yes, I’ma dreamer; it mitigates the nightmare our societies currently fund.
