Oh, that's good. stet (v) to direct retention of a word or passage previously ordered to be deleted or omitted from a manuscript or printer's proof But on the surface it just seems like an unenthusiastic reaction to criticism.
Anyway, what I'm really trying to say is, don't go on X.
To be clear, the asshole bubble isn't actually trying to keep anyone out. The asshole bubble is quite inclusive. Anyone can surround themselves with assholes. It's the assholes who are in exile from kind society.
Because the thing is, kind people aren't friends with assholes, and they're not really interested in making friends with the friends of assholes either. The social cross-pollination breaks down. So if you're stuck in the asshole bubble, I bet it can feel pretty lonely.
Some poor souls are nice people born into the asshole bubble, and they grow up thinking they're bad at making friends. But no, they just don't want to be friends with assholes and they haven't found their way out of the asshole bubble yet.
They end up with this combative thick-skin tough guy brutal posture toward everybody. They make "friends" with people who give it back, and are shocked (shocked!) that others don't want to be around them. They call those people snowflakes. But no, they've just entered the asshole bubble.
I think there is a mostly insular bubble of assholes that nobody can stand except for other assholes. Non-assholes tend to avoid assholes, and spend time with other non-assholes instead, leaving the assholes with the perspective that everyone else is also an asshole.
Cheap! Cheap cheap cheap, they're so cheap! We love cheap! Yay cheap! More cheap! I love inexpensive and cheap. Give me the cheap.
The number one thing I’ve learned from painting this fender is that I do not enjoy this process and will hire professionals in the future.
