This is probably going to be a rant - you’ve been warned!
So I chatted with my friends from Japan today. It’s been a minute since we were last active in our group chat. Anyways, the topic of food came up and I relayed to them that I was doing vegetarian Mondays and vegan Tuesdays.
One of my asshole friends decided to call me half-assed for only doing two days out of the week. (Just for reference, it’s lent and I gave up meat on Fridays too.)
…And that ticked me off. Especially since it was precociously in Japanese kanji and completely unnecessary.
I responded with, “Better than none at all, asswipe.”
“Debatable.”
“Not really.”
My vegetarian friend Josh chimes in, “Yeah, starting to do something is better.”
“I didn’t say I was gonna debate it, I’m just saying debatable.”
(…Okay?) I respond with, “Anything is though” - hoping to end the idiotic conversation.
“Also debatable.”
That drove me nuts. There isn’t really a point to his arguments, especially to the hypothetical ones he isn’t even making. If so, what was the point for any of those responses? Just to be irritating and seem pathetically uneducated with baseless points. It doesn’t help anyone if you’re arguing simply for the sake of arguing. Take your energy and go to the gym.
Time is better spent on informed, intelligent conversation and discussion.
Don’t waste my time if you aren’t going to stimulate my mind.
