Everybody privately shit-talks everybody. The phone always listens to it and records it. A viral hack that turns all this shit-talking into texts. Everybody in the world suddenly gets a thousand shit-talking texts from their family, friends and associates. Society dissolves.

      Perhaps you’re in a not so lovely social bubble?

          I mean…

          I know for a fact it is something I don’t do. I even tell people off and get mad when someone tries to engage in it with me. As such, I know that when you say “everybody”, I am sure, for a fact, 100%, that you’re wrong.

          I don’t need to prove that no-one does it. I know some people do it… Though the ones I know to do it, I either ask they improve their behavior, or I stop interacting with them.

          You can’t prove that I do it. You can only refuse to believe me… But you’d still be wrong.

          And if you’re wondering how I deal with it when I have a problem with someone, since I don’t complain about it to someone else… That’s simple. I carefully plan out how to tell the person I have a problem with about it, to their face. Thats the only way the problem can be solved and our relationship improved.

          As far as I can tell, that’s how every mature adult I know functions.

            That’s a heartwarming yet completely irrelevant point. We should discuss my point instead.

              It’s not irrelevant, because it directly proves you wrong. You only consider it irrelevant because it contradicts your narrative.

                I’ll leave it. It’s a fine example of evasive squirming, to which I referred elsewhere in this thread.
