minus-squarequaddo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·10 months agoI’m personally more a fan of curses of wicked inconvenience. Eg, “May you never find the pebble pressing into the sole of your foot, even after you’ve removed your shoe and your sock” or, “May you always run out of toilet paper when you most need it, every time, no matter where you are” continues to fantasise about other such curses

minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoNo, that’s what most call “cancelling.” Laughing someone out of the room is pointing out the absurdity of someone’s arguments. Laughing at someone is just intolerance.
