Wanting is a secondary imposter artificially superimposed over reality, on behalf of a separate self that is nothing more than an apparition.
That which appears to want, never wants.
That which appears to be needing, never needed.

Speaking in the third person means referring to yourself by your name or a third-person pronoun like "he," "she," or "they" instead of "I"
In reality there’s only the first and last person singular pronoun known as I
The illusion of a separate I is identical to the real I

Do you have any alternative to word salad? The waiter is waiting for your order, ready to serve you exactly what you wanted.

That looks so obvious with hindsight. You have an interesting thought process

Of course he’s going to say that, it’s what every fictional character would say. There was never a real pipe. There was only an image of a pipe that you mistook for reality.accelafine wrote: ↑Sat Sep 20, 2025 8:26 pmThat looks so obvious with hindsight. You have an interesting thought process![]()

And no thanks to the great almighty motormouth Ace we now can’t post images that speak a thousand words without ever having to flap those flabby lips.
Thanks for being a nuanced nuisance Ace.
You’ve inadvertently avoided someone from posting the actual truth in picture form.
I ams what I ams, and there ain’t nothing you can do about it. Hahaha!

Re: I-I
This is most likely astonishing to you, but some humans are actually capable of expressing exactly what they mean--no wordsalading or candyfloss needed.
