Some time ago, I thought “fuck courtesies” and began to answer with how I really feel. It’s now one of my (sadistic) little pleasures to see the uneasy face of someone that just received “oh, I feel like a ton of shit *fake smile*” as a reply. And it’s just adorable when someone cares enough to genuinely ask what’s going on. You find who you can count on if things really go south.
Is there a culture war bingo generator somewhere? I think I could fill a card or two on this alone.
