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.

          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.

              Cool.

              You might want to retract your refutation of @iii@mander.xyz comment then, since it isn’t a discussion you’re interested in having.

                  I hope you’ll enjoy the multiple additional retorts you’ll be getting, then.

                  People wont read this far just to find a reason not to tell someone off.

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