Generally true though. Society robs us of all joy on purpose. Can't have shit as a man, because that looks kind of gay.

I'm getting all the stuff society does not want me to.

    What robs us of joy is caring about other people’s expectations for us. We are free when we stop worrying about what people think.

    Yep.

    many people's life purpose is to treat other people they don't like shit, based on their perceived differences. and they will go out of their way to do like, harass random strangers over this shit. or just force every causal acquaintance of run this gantlet they have in their head of hatred and bias because they feel other people must 'prove' themselves to them.

    What the hell are you talking about? You can't have a rug or society will call you gay?

    If you have too much decorative stuff in your room, people start to suspect you.

    Luckily, what people think, means jack shit to me, as you can tell by all the dislikes I'm ignoring.

    You said you can't have "shit", which generally means "can't have anything".

    You live some weird ass fucking fantasy world. Being called gay for having a rug is not common, at all.

    There are real societal toxic masculinity thing that affect men, we don't need this ludicrous made up bullshit.

    Tough shit. I'm getting all the "gay" shinny shit, and there is nothing you can legally do about it.

    I'm getting so much useless vane shit, just to spite society.

    shinny shit

    It's funny because with two n's in that word it just turns the word "shin" into an adjective.

    Is that what you're describing? A male living space full of shitty shins?

    vane shit

    Okay now you're talking about a directional spinny thing you can put up on top of your house that tells you which way the wind is blowing. And I guess it's spewing shit or something. I dunno. You're the one who said it.

    shiny adjective ˈshī-nē

    : having a smooth glossy surface

    : filled with light

    : lustrous

    vain adjective

    : having or showing undue or excessive pride in one's appearance or achievements : conceited

    vane noun

    : a movable device attached to an elevated object (such as a spire) for showing the direction of the wind

    Social media, at it's core, is people communicating with each other. Effective communication requires using the correct words to convey the message you're trying to send.

    Using poor spelling, grammar or punctuation risks people A) misunderstanding what you're trying to say, or B) thinking that you're ignorant or uneducated and that therefore your input is of no value.
