I think I'm pretty much at the same level of 'purity' as Kura.
See, it doesn't mean a thing.

Not to get too crass but it's dismally obvious how indifferent everyone is to the fact technology work is exhausting.

As long as we're on the subject of no one noticing, the remainder of us build everyone new things & new ideas, all the time, usually for free. That's where all my money goes for example; the future. As such, people into technology for the money mostly refuse to get along with me. Why do we give million dollar ideas away? Because we're not the first ones starving.

I hope this gets pasted around.

cancer was not always there. it's cells mutated so they no longer behave in a way conducive to health. getting rid of them is a reasonable goal.

^I didn't mean a one night stand at all. What I meant was that it is a good thing to tell someone that you are only looking for friendship, in case the other person was hoping for a relationship. That way you might avoid people experience the pains you where describing. Do you understand what I mean now?

Yes... and that is what i have always done... Doesn't seem to matter though if they have an ulterior motive

i know what you mean.

although i can't say i have followed that.

some people are very manipulative and it doesn't matter what is said unfortunately.


although sometimes you get cheered up by having silly stupid dreams about forgetting you graduated high school two years ago, and going to the derby and attending the first day, only to remember....

Hi Froya, glad you're back. I suck at reading hidden intentions, so I tell people that I'm not good with subtlety and hope for the best. If they get to know me, they find out, at the very least, that I'm definitely not subtle by nature. Understatement of the year.

Kip, I still have the high school dreams sometimes, and the college ones, and others from different points in my life. I've even had Billy Madison-like dreams. For some reason, I was going back to school as an adult.

^^Yes, it's not easy at all. I certainly don't have a perfect record when it comes to this. I have felt sometimes that I need to say that I'm not looking for a romantic relationship, because I feel I don't want to hurt the other person. The other person might not have had that in mind at all, but it's better to be safe then sorry. I can be quite flirtatious in my way of being I have come to understand.

Sometimes it's really tempting to flirt, because it's fun and exiting

Actually, to be fair and less hard on myself, I often read subtleties in tone of voice. Once we go into unspoken agendas or chains of command or hidden truths or other 'games' though, I start to need very direct answers to direct questions. If I feel I shouldn't ask directly, I'll often ask advice from someone else who knows the situation, or I'll try to fill a friend in as best I can.

Thanks everybody, I've just been under a lot of social pressure. :/

Hmm, maybe subtle differences, like, they'll bother to tell me if they have their hand out to shake. They won't nod or gesture and then forget I can't see them, as sighted people sometimes do. I'm happy to answer questions about blindness. I get tired of it mainly when I get asked the same questions over and over. This question is a new one Froya.

Oh ok I can't know what other people ask unfortunately. A time back, when I was thinking about you actually, I did reflect about if someone who is born blind can "see" in their imagination?
