David was alone in his bed, lost in thought. how could he be feeling this?... is it wrong? this man is trying to kill his money maker. he lay on his smart mattress that cost more than most people make in a month and he just felt alone. numb. he wished he had someone to love, and someone to love him back, that was why he was trying to make a dating service but now he began to think this man, and his weird moldy musty perfume musk has stolen his heart and he didn't know how to get it back. he loved this man more than his lambos and free easy money from robux. he needed this man in his life but he didn't know why.
'' 愛して。。。愛してる。。'' he mumbled under his breath. he knew he'd have to confess soon.

a preferred name is quite common, it's a name that's not like, your legal/birth name that you use, I know it can be quite confusing but I will write a few different examples so it makes more sense:

1.

so let's say there's someone named Joshua, they don't like how formal that is and it feels weird when they are called that and it's something they find uncomfortable. so they would like to be called josh instead, Joshua is their legal name, it's what's on their birth certificate but they would ask you to just call them josh and you do because you wanna be respectful and not make them uncomfortable and they apretate you use their preferred name.

2.

samatha has now asked his mom to call him Sam after coming out as a trans man and explaining that he's not her daughter, but her son. and that name feels better than his old name and it's kinda like the name he used to have because he doesn't wanna fully give up the old name but he feels like it's more "him" than his old name. his mom doesn't understand why at first, it's so simmaler to the name she originally gave him but she does use the name he requested, even if it's not the same one that's on his driver's license that's his name and after a bit of talking she gets it and supports her son thought the process of transition.

3.

a couple get married but things sour between them, Amanda has the legal last name of brown and she can't change it right now and the devorce is still finalizing but she asked you to please call her Ms. Rodriguez when you get into class and she explains she is devorcing and she doesn't want to be associated with her ex husband. you and your classmates agree and you call her the name you asked.

I listed a few exaples of preferred names and I hope that can help explain why someone might want to be called something other than what their birth certificate says, slip-ups happen, and if it's not intentional and you call someone something else than what they asked they'll usually forgive you, but intentionally doing things like always using their dead-name can be very hurtful and it's generally a pretty rude thing to do. imagine if let's say someone called you the wrong name, maybe they accedentally said "John" when your name is actually Amy but they will not stop calling you John. your name is a very personal thing, it's like the number one thing to remember about yourself. this post isn't meant to shame anyone that didn't know what a preferred name was, if you didn't know and you do now that's great^^ I also think this post could be a good thing to show like, a parent or something to help explain the concept of it, also there's a lot of different reasons someone might want to use a different name I didn't mention here and that's because there's well, a lot of reasons why, i've just picked the most common one's i've seen irl.

one more thing, if someone replies to this post explaining they didn't know what a preferred name was until this and they aren't being rude, don't be rude to them. should be obvious but sometimes people will shame others online for not knowing things like this or say they are [insert type of bigotry] when they honestly have no beef and just didn't know. please keep the replies respectful^^^ tysm

@Biblecampvictim you are just a fixture in the forum, now aren't you?

the fact i feel like ts is a hot take is pathetic but, idgaf if you're mentally ill if you're doing terrible unspeakable things to other guy that doesn't justify or excuse it. idgaf if you're a minor and doing it to other minors it doesn't make it [censored] ok. and this sort of mentality leads to enabling, i've seen ts happen first hand. it makes me sick that i've seen adults coddle people who do this. if they did it to a girl i have a feeling they might feel differently and that too is beyond vile.

@Yanderemenhera
liberals when Charlie is mentioned:

bro, im not a liberal. i do not care if someone is or isn't. i do not care about much in life and that is very freeing to me.
this post though, was ment for discussion over US users safety being in possible jepordy, bringing this guy up was unrelated to this original topic and is kinda rude @Arise tbh

it'd ether be rebxxzy's voice or eric cartman's voice i like how they both sound ngl. i do think its kinda funny how a bunch of random Russians hacked rebxxzys yt and started posting music his audience cannot understand

thank you guys so much, i don't really go anywhere irl to make friends, so this site means a lot to me, it truly does

yeah, as i said in the post, i might strongly dissagree with someone but jezz we didn't need to kill him :skull:

I prefer to use gender neutrual terms a lot, like, ik that sounds woke as hell to some people, but I like refuring to groups as people, and I use plural "they/them/theirs" a lot. sometime I just refer to a group by their species, aka say thing something like "what the ∱uck are you humans doing?!?" I find it annoying when people forget that words like people or they aren't inhearantly nonbinary and can be used to describe a collective of people. I think it's mostly republicans who get mad or assume i'm calling everyone nonbinary, they are the same people who forget that pronouns are an essential part of the English language and they say shit like "i'm a real man. I don't need them woke αss he/him/his pronouns" it's like, istg people who say that deadass don't understand you can be cis and straight and use pronouns, they are for everyone and aren't inherently LGBTQ at all, and saying for example "magic the gathering fans, they collect playing cards" is using plural they and sure, I could be mentioning some nonbinary people when I say that, but i'm talking about women too for example. no hate to nonbinary people ofc, this gripe isn't their fault, it's literally just people who are obsessed with genering literally everything and they don't remember how the English languge works =-= and so I say to those HUMANS, (I use humans in particular when i'm upset) learn how the English language works, and if you still don't wanna be referred to as any pronouns, ask people to just use your name and exclude you from being mentioned in a group context.

''i don't use

pronouns!!!''

bro, wtf? how the hell did you get through school? everyone who says that genuinely does not comprehend what a pronoun is. its not just he him she her they them. i have for example heard ''chat'' described as a gender neutral pronoun like they for example. i bet you could make a long list of pronouns (not like, ones for gender specificly) and imagine going without them, sure, i can call you smith but it can become awkward in conversation, and frankly i think those idiots would take it as me being rude. how dumb has the world gotten? i understand that they are saying that bc they are transphobic, yes, but goddamn can you at least understand the English language before you make an angry post somewhere?

:wilted_flower: :skull:

the amout of shit i've seen first hand is terrible. but this is just disapointing. i'm not surprised, but i wish people would handle things legally and civilly. sure, i don't agree with him but i don't agree with murder. i think having peaceful protest if you strongly dissagree with something is an appropriate response, or going to court if it warents it. but seriously, how are we any better than they are if this is how we respond?

how does @Everyone feel about this interpretation?

We are not allowed to post about [censored] or self harm, it's a triggering topic for a lot of people and it could be abused by people who are trying to farm upvotes or something similar. Despite me locking and posting a reply to those types of topics, recently people still have been posting about it. If you or someone you know needs help, please use one of these links provided in this post, and refrain from posting about such topics in the future. I understand getting help conventionally (I.e. therapist) might be unacsessable to you and I apologize for that.

wow uh, thanks :sob: I log on not expecting anything and I just see this? I was not expecting this but thank you everyone

have you ever watched someone do something terrible and someone one else justifys it by saying something about how hard there life is/was or they have some sort of diagnoses that is popular at the time (I.e. ADHD) like, lets say at school someone hurts you physically and the teacher just goes ''aw, it's not there fault. they have bipolar and can't control there emotions so why don't you go appoligize for your abilisom instead.'' i've seen the abilisom card used for like chris-chan for example and look, as an autistic person who I think the term is ''high functoining'' (i'm not someone who's really interested in psycholigoy so idk if that terminoligy is still used) I really want other autistic people to be held accountable and autism to not be used as an excuse or crutch for terrible behavior bc it makes us look bad, and all I want is to be treated like everyone else and that includes being reprimanded if I do something wrong. and like, i'd assume most horrible people have trauma and mental illnesses, it does not make it ok though. if I yelled at someone in DMs about how I hate there pfp and then say "oh, I got BPD, I just lash out sometimes owo" it doesn't excuse what I did, and I do have BPD and I will be deadass, no, it doesn't even work like that (at least for me) and I hate how therapy-speak is being used too. istg, everyone and their brother sees a therapist and doesn't become self aware to anything they are doing. i've seen people use random self-daignosed disorders to justify being an [censored] and it's like, omfg, aren't you paying someone 200$ a half and hour appointment to listen to your woes and tell you what you can do better? =-= God, I hate those people.

the polish song from the polish cow meme :broken_heart: I was like 13 when that was popular so it's been a while

i hate people. i don't want to have to deal with people irl again rn, but that reality is comming to an end. im going to a different place for ''group therapy'' for ages 16-20 i believe, but its just adult daycare. i hate most of the adults in my life and im tired of there attempts to ''fix'' me when they don't know i even need ''fixing'' bc i refuse to talk about my feelings and shit bc doing that gets ya punished.

''why was you house so flammable?'' Chris asked the second he saw david '' oh my [censored] god! are you hurt?!?'' David said visiblely shaking besides his hubby with a house ingulfed in flames and various fire trucks besides it behind him and his calm partner.
''yeah, i woke up and went to go get some fanta from the frige, the enter kitchen was on fire so i called 911 and whe they got here 23 minutes later i texted.''
David just sighed and noticed a look of shame on chris's face, he knew he was insecure about protecting the home so he said ''look, its ok. i have more money than the US government probably does. i'll buy a new house in cash tomorrow, for now i will find a Hilton or whatever.'' chris was obviously holding back tears and David told him to just let it out and cry. the two drove away from the inferno as underpayed people risked there lives for something a ritch person saw as desposeble.
