Theres enough hate in the world anon maybe try to resolve your hate

For all anons harp on "curate your experience" and "just don't interact with them," anons get really chuffed at the idea that someone might not be interacted with.

pretty much everyone has to deal with a shitty mutuals situation at some point, but turning someone away you'd otherwise want to thread with because there's a chance you'd have to interact with one of their friends is indeed dumb and indicative of an inability to communicate

This is the Internet everyone is connected to everyone

So how do you feel about blocking mutuals of wankers

Baby solution that can be resolved with communication which in general 98% of issues here can be resolved with communication

How do function in real life being physically around others?

Ya whippersnappers are spineless in my day you had to communicate to the other party directly about an issue just because we have internet now DOESNT change that

Should be a wankgate rule to communicate to the problem player in question before posting here

i'm going to remember this thread the next time we have a huge blowup and y'all start going after the usernames on someone's plurk post or mutuals list to block

you are quickly going to run out of people to talk to if you block every mutual of every person you don't like

plurk also has an option to hide your friends list now and a lot of people seem to use it so best of luck there

Chafed. Chuffed means pleased/happy.

/pet peeve

chuffed is one of those words that means two opposite things nona

https://googlethatforyou.com?q=chuffed%20meaning

it super does not. just because you've been using it wrong doesn't mean it's suddenly developed a new definition.

Literally half a wheel scroll down on the very page you linked:
Overall, the word chuffed means satisfied or pleased, and it is an informal word. While this word can also be used in a negative way, the modern Brit will usually use it to mean happy or pleased. This word is of unknown origin.

i have literally never heard it used in a negative way except by non-brits who just assumed it had a negative meaning based on how the word sounds.

"A lot of people use it wrong, so therefore..."

no

anon i have brit relatives and i can assure you, that's how it's mostly used these days

anon i'm a brit and i've only ever heard "chuffed" used to mean "pleased" in 30+ years of living on this shitty damp rock

http://www.lexicolatry.com/2014/05/chuffed-quintessential-britishism.html

did you actually read this

"According to the OED, chuffed doesn't only mean 'pleased' but 'displeased' too, although I have to say that in my 34 years as a native English speaker from England I have never heard it used in this way, and were someone to do so around my parts I would expect it to cause a bally dose of confusion."

just because something is written online doesn't mean it's true, how have you all lived through 2016 and you still don't understand that people can post things on the internet that don't line up with reality

it literally does not

what's with clueless anons using the word "nona" as well lately, is it just you trying to make it a thing?

nona's been a thing for years

Nona isn't new but it does seem to go hand in hand with dumbass statements nowadays

I always thought Nona was a joke because it's a misspelling of anon but also implying that we're old grannies now
