Comment on Ciao
wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 days agoMy high points are when my cat does something particularly cute, when I remember a bash command without needing to look it up, or when some jerk in a book I’m reading finally gets their comeuppance.
I have very little joy for comparison to steal. It’s just kind of disorienting to realize that someone can live like that. Like, wanting something that involves human connection (whether sexual or otherwise), and actually getting it. And not being judged for having those needs, let alone announcing them.
Something about it doesn’t compute. It just kinda breaks my brain a little. Can’t wrap my mind about what that would be like.

My high point was reading this comment. And I used to be the male version of Violet 20 years ago.

Stop simping

It’s just a simple compliment to an internet stranger. Their comment made me feel happy for a moment. Take a deep breath and move on if you didn’t like mineö

It was a joke

Hey, thanks stranger!
Side note, I’ve always been curious whether “simping” is short for “simpering” or “sympathizing.” I’ve seen it used either way, I think.
Like, when it’s used as an insult to people who are overly obsequious towards another, I could see it meaning “simpering.”
But when it’s used as a noun to refer to someone who supports something detestable, I could see it meaning “sympathizer,” and then subsequently being converted to verb form by nature of internet slang…
