Q: How to debate with someone who uses other people's arguments as their own?

I sometimes end in a conversation/debate with my brother over a variety of topics that he usually brings up. They're usually the kind of topics I don't pay much attention to or care about that much (certain political things, religion etc.) but I don't mind talking about them. I've just noticed th...

I'm very sorry that I have to DV this, but, IMO, OP is asking for the almost exact opposite, and I'd feel the same :/ (+ I agree with @puck too) — OldPadawan 40 secs ago

This time i want to represent someone who couldn't take it.

Ael

@humn ???

humn

Someone to whom i said " I might never see you again" as he went off,

Ael

Is there some context I'm missing? I don't understand what you are talking about

humn

I don't understand it either. The dog went and did that. 40 years after having the gumption to introduce himself out of the blue.

(that = suicide)

Tinkeringbell

Oookaaaay.

Having someone in your vicinity kill themselves is never great to have to deal with... If empty internet words help, you have my condolences.

But perhaps next time... I dunno, put in a content warning or something before starting a conversation like that?

This was the tied for least comfortable person in the world, wiith me.

Perhaps why we got along. From such different sources.

For decades.

And then the fkkker took his life.

After giving me a life lesson:

"Wherever you are, you're in good company"

He liked me and wanted as much.

Tinkeringbell

:) He sounded like a good friend. It's always nice to have someone that only needs half a word to understand what you want to say :)

ready for more?

More what? Memories?

another friend, equally close, knew how to gain cigarettes from an easy store.

Again, ain't easy dragging an uneasy load. Please don't ban me again.

^might've seen that coming

Signed, a person more awkward and unwieldy as you're lucky to meet

Truly, to reintroduce, when i meet anyone of consequence a pond forms below me from the sweat.

Each time i have to say anything.

Tinkeringbell

I'm not banning anyone ;) I'm just playing a game and I just got orders to go risk death myself and get some groceries ;)

Fingers crossed!

humn

@Tinkeringbell , safely! = "with love"

humn

14:23

perhaps somone is messing with internet

This truly is the modern age

@Tinkeringbell , dog , what a dream!

Q: Is my wife being overly sensitive or me being insensitive?

Just want to get your thoughts. So my friends, myself and wife are out at a pub having drinks. Then a friend was making some comments about those some nightclubs that have Thai girls dancing and singing. They will get tips in the form of hanging flowers around the neck. For the highest bidders, u...

Q: How can I deal with my wife always changing her mind about things we already planned?

I like making plans whether they're short term or long term (> 6 months). Always have. My wife, however, tends to "forget" about plans we had already discussed and gets upset when I try to stay true to them. We bought a fixer upper house 2 years ago and made plans for improving it. I created sket...
