Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

This is the therapist bridging the gap, explaining that what they're referring to has a more useful term than "bruh moment" which doesn't really cover it. The patient has to cross the bridge and gain the understanding the doctor offers.
Actually its a self-deprecating joke by i young person and it didn't literally actually happen.
I still think it does raise a very interesting point that language is subjective and constantly evolving, extra fast since texting got mainstream, This can create a real problem when a doctor and patient are from a different region/culture/generation.
Naturally the actual success on a therapy depends on way more factors including the motivation and effort of the patient, i believe that's whats you're saying and i am not dismissing that, but also more can be done to prepare doctors treating patient outside their usual social-economic circles.
Akshully, it's a digital image representing a joke made by a young person who may be real or hypothetical. Not sure why it was an important distinction, but it's important to you and so thank you for trying to explain.
You're right that as language evolves it presents unique challenges. You're also right that there's always room for improvement.
I am sorry if my response sounded disrespectful.
I made the extinction because i was directly discussing the sentiment i thought the post intended me to think about and never took it literally. I am on the spectrum, and wether to take something literally or find a deeper message is indeed important context me.
Thanks for having the patience to continuing this conversation with me, even if we had some miscommunication (the irony) down the line.
It's all good. I appreciate you saying that. I was trying to be cheeky in response, if I took it too far I'm sorry too. I don't know if I'm on the spectrum but I've always suspected and have been asked before. Some of my loved ones likely are as well. I certainly understand looking for context and being uncertain as to whether I was observing it.
I am also enjoying our conversation. Thank you for talking with me. I hope you're having a good day.
