#confusion — Public Fediverse posts

So I'm like a bit confused now.
They brought dogs and then they ate them?

Also why is She the one who has to be glad He accepts her Not Eating Dogs, but berries and udder juice.
Seems pretty normal to me, to Not Eat Dogs. Or Pigs.
Only the udder juice is #weird AF.
Maybe try soygurt or something?

Forget English classes. I have to learn to speak Carnist!

I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.

ENDING FAT INSTABILITY

For the first time in a long, long life, I feel stable.

It is boring sometimes.

There is less drama, less urgency, less emotional weather pretending to be meaning.

But in a million years, I would not go back.

I would not go back to the fat instability of mind and body.

Six years of fasting have made the body lighter.

A year and a half of breathwork has made the mind quiet.

Routine has made the days trustworthy.

There is coffee in hand, a warm fire, Pete nearby, the dogs moving through the morning, and a body that no longer feels like an emergency waiting to happen.

None of this is glamorous.

It is simply a life that no longer needs to keep exploding into illness, falls, and confusion to prove that I am alive.

Sometimes peace is boring.

Good.

Boring is underrated.

No, I quit at an early age

Is this a silly question or is it just me?

Three Things Challenge ✅

Your three words today are:
ALTER
ALTAR
AFTERWARDS

After seeing the daily prompt my first reaction was ‘Who comes up with this silly shit?’ I instantly thought of altering the question but quickly added Di’s fantastic three word challenge to it instead. Afterwards I still can’t comprehend who could really think this is/was a good question.

So in my typical tradition I will offer a solution to satisfy my altered thinking by suggesting we make an altar to recognize these not so great thinkers making prompts like this.

Welcome to the Altar of the Pointless Prompts. Open Daily at 12:00 A.M.

Come in, sit down and try to comprehend the confusion.

What if we used specific first- and second-person pronouns for non-conscious entities? I think this might help avoid #confusion and #cognitiveload when interacting with #bots, etc. Any #linguists or #conlangers here who have seen attempted solutions to this problem (or who have a good idea of how it might be solved)?
