The Grammar Police fails to capitalize the pronoun "I"? 🤔

Hey pal, I'm here to enforce laws not follow them

[-] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago

You have made that abundantly clear so far. And in so little space!

[-] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Gotta let you know what you're dealing with.

Anyways, let's get to the age verification shall we?

[-] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago

I assumed we were operating on your schedule.

[-] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Right right we were. What's a word that accurately defines your personality?

[-] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago

"Thoughtful".

[-] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

What makes you thoughtful? Are you talking about thoughtfulness in the empathetic sense?

[-] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago

I chose the word intentionally, because it works in at least two senses: I am full of thought generally and I do things that exhibit evidence of having thought about others.

[-] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

So would you consider yourself the most thoughtful person in your friend group, or your family, and what is it that you believe causes your thoughtfulness? Maybe it's upbringing, or life experiences

[-] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

I don't compare myself to others along that axis, so I don't know. Also, it's very easy for a person to see themself as being superior to others when it comes to positive qualities such as that one.

As for why I'm like this, I imagine it's a combination of doing well in the genetic lottery combined with having reached a point of general comfort in my life that means I don't suffer from the same desperation-induced inward focus that others do.

Vary interesting. I definitely agree with the superiority complex thing. Tell me more about your personal relationships, that may include friends, family and partners. What do you hope to enhance, or are striving for within them?

[-] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

To treat them with more compassion. To react less sharply. For them to feel safer around me and with me.

Okay, how thoughtful hehe. In what way do you wish to make an impact either in a field or to people around you, and are you actually moving towards it?
