Hmm, I see you as someone who is called Mr Poopyface, I guess it's alright if I call you that then, Mr Poopyface?
Sounds fair to me, Mr. Poopyface.
Only my friends call me chickenfucker
It's not. The point is: you don't get to decide what you call others. Especially when they've already corrected you and you know better. And it's Miss btw, by your own logic.
It took me all of 90 seconds to read through your comment history and confirm you are in some kind of pain, the kind that breeds misplaced anger at the lack of stability in your own identity.
You did, however, ponder one valuable bit of insight at the end of your recent AITA post (15 days ago) regarding your wife quitting her job and her not listening to you. Please follow your instinct here. Please do be open to your wife about going your separate ways.
Real talk, she will be better off without you. You act as if she's holding you back, all the while it sounds like she's been holding you up. It seems you are the one holding both of you back, and projecting this financial and identity instability onto others is illustrative of your own issues.
You don't seem like a legitimate troll. You seem like you're fighting for your own identity and you're projecting your frustrations by asserting other people are deluded in knowing who they are and somehow insane for wanting a modicum of human respect. Yet I think you and many, many others like you, are those truly struggling.
I think you are currently showing a lack of respect to others because, deep down, you don't respect yourself. And that is not okay. Needing and seeking help and direction from others, including mental health professionals, is not a blue-haired liberal thing, it's a human thing. Please consider it.
We are who we pretend to be. If you're so good at "pretending" to be a bigoted idiot that no one can tell, what's the difference between that and actually being a bigoted idiot?
Aaaaand now I wonder if you (and your friend) are experiencing a wicked case of DID. Please consult your totally real psychologist on that for more info on how to reign in your diverging personalities. (Wouldn't wanna have to get your lawyer involved, you know, like if your online troll personality state starts wreaking legal havoc in real life. Who would be to blame? You?! Or you?!!?!)
Serious question. And making the forgiving assumption your "friend" wasn't just a cover story. This troll business you opened up here, do you you actually believe and stand behind what you profess?
You are taking this really seriously, arent you? Are you sure you are all right?
[Ah yes, a solid B+ troll, using the "are you all right" trope to get a rise out of me. The following would be my "rise."]
Oh for cripes sake, can you not see I was leaning into your trolling mindset with my first bit?!! Keep fuckin moving the goalpost, y'all are good at that.
[Yes, I clearly suspended my disbelief in trying to see what exactly is legitimate under all of what you've said so far. It's a fascinating occupation you've taken on, Professional Troll of Dubious Intent (PTODI), but if even if you actually don't harbor these shitty thoughts against people, you are literally, actually right this moment making the entire platform of discourse shittier. I guess I should step outside my human brain and understand that some purported humans just want to watch the world burn. Sigh... Fuckin PTODIs.]
Why are you doing this? It's summer, go outside, get yourself a nice cold beverage and relax.
OK, cool. So you're good with me addressing you as Mr. Baby Rapist then?
Yep
