Sure it’s easier said than done, but it’s an effort that’s worth making. Something being difficult doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try, that’s an awful defeatist attitude to have.

Oh, thank you. My life is changed. Did I say you shouldn't try...?
Also, thank you that condescending defeatist comment at the end. A real good way to convince people of your opinion.

I mean nobody knows what another is going through but the only thing one can do is try or maybe not. Both don't matter in the end. We live a story where only the ending is known.

I... I just said I didn't say you shouldn't try...

You didn’t say, it, but you sure did seem to imply it. If that wasn’t your intention then what was the point of your comment?

Boredom. I think I was wasted. Honestly, that night was a blur of blackjack and hookers.

I wasn’t trying to convince anyone lol. But how is just saying it’s difficult supposed to be constructive?

Again, it was a night of blackjack and hookers

Like any skill it takes practice

Like I told the other genius who said the same thing: did I say you shouldn't try?
Black_n_Neon t1_j5hchow wrote
Did I say you did? Why are you getting offended? I simply said it takes practice
Amr528 t1_j5hdl1v wrote
I'm more annoyed that you'd suggest people don't know something that simple. It's condescending. It's kind of universally known that literally fucking everything takes practice.

You’re choosing to take it like that. I simply said it takes practice. Idk why you’re getting so upset. If you don’t like people responding to your comments then don’t leave comments in public forums.

Aaaaaand now, you're just repeating yourself

Clearly you need more practice lol

Do you try to gaslight other people like this?

Do you usually get this emotional on Reddit?
Amr528 t1_j5hiqmr wrote
Yeah. It's good for the heart.

Oh, shit. Nice last minute edit. I, normally, like speaking with people on this site. My only issue is when they stupid shit. Haha.
