Every time I hear someone say ‘eh’ in a questioning tone or to mean ‘um actually’ I lose my shit. Or even just to play something down.

Like I literally come to hate the person instantly. Its a very strong feeling on a very small sound.

Instant downvotes if I see it on Lemmy too. HATE IT.

How about all y’all?

    “Have you ever sown a field, Lady Olenna? Have you ever reaped a grain? Has anyone in House Tyrell? A lifetime of wealth and power has left you blind in one eye. You are the few, we are the many. And when the many stop fearing the few…”

    From your point of view. Your point of view may be the objectively correct one, and I would love if just saying “no more crazy people” meant no more fighting with people who have way too much confidence and zero rationality, but they still might have their own points of view.

    And I for one can’t say which is the objectively right one.

    For instance I find that my personal preference to abiding Grice’s maxims would be way too detail-oriented, and people usually feel as though I’ve broken the maxim of quantity and quality by “over-serving them” whereas I feel they’re not nearly accurate enough. Or they’re too accurate about something way too irrelevant and I’m very confident in the matter and thus find the quantity of their explanation superfluous.

    It’s so much about context and less about what is “objectively right.”

    I used to drive a taxi and would have no problem letting other people “set the rules” as it were (people really enjoyed me as a customer service agent in all different jobs I was in, and I’m not just saying that even though ofc everyone would think so becuase I’m saying it myself), but yet I don’t have lots of close personal friends, because I get to actually talk about what’s interesting to me and not just yap about some irrelevant bullshit, people have a different preference to how much they like talking and thinking about things. Mines “more than theirs”. I can accommodate their rules, but they clearly can’t accommodate mine. So it would only make sense for me, the more adaptable one, to adapt, as they’re clearly incapable. Unless I want to be alone.

    Would you disagree?
