Can we nutshell?

“In a nutshell....”

Can you do this?
Can we nutshell our thoughts, opinions, feelings? I want to try an experiment.

And this is it...in a nutshell...

Tell me your thoughts, all of them - good, bad, or both - on PIZZA

Tell me in two complete sentences.

by Cass Mon Mar 01, 2021 3:08 am

Pizza is life.
The end.

God's own food, unless pineapples.
Fuck pineapples.

Square shaped is better.

Anchovies still rock.

I used to eat pizza but I don't any more because carbs make me feel like shit and besides I've gone off pizza anyway

by gelico Mon Mar 01, 2021 1:45 pm

The only time I'd love to have pizza is in a scrabble game, especially on tripple word score

cheers

My favourite pizza is the Lidl Margherita one that comes in a box of 3 for about £2.

But to make it special it must be loaded up with extra toppings, for example, a little chopped green chili, onion, some Italian ham or tuna or prawns, mushrooms, spinach, fresh tomato slices on top, Italian mixed herbs, maybe chop some black olives also, a little drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle of rock salt and black pepper.

Nutshell this:

Your thoughts on abortion.

Two or three sentences only.

by Ben Reilly Sat Mar 06, 2021 11:49 pm

Regrettable, but should be legal. Women should have control over whether they give birth or not. But I'd like to see more programs aimed at making "unwanted" babies into wanted babies.

Always unfortunate, but usually understandable.
Should remain legal.

I wanted to start with something easy...just to set an example that it can be done.

Your answer was a great answer, brilliantly nutshelled.

Abortion is not a tasteful subject but it’s a necessity for some people. Better to abort than give birth to a totally unwanted baby. However, abortion should not be used as “birth control”. Put a condom on or take the pill!

How about thoughts on love?

Using your view to restrict to two or three sentences

by eddie Sun Mar 07, 2021 12:42 am

Okay, good one. Here’s mine:

Love takes many forms and is not always easy, but it’s always a truth. It cannot be written about, only felt.

(I may come up with something better!)

That is excellent

Love means allowing ourselves to be completely vulnerable. It overcomes any fears we have

Eddie just told me this exchange and I said, "I actually like his a bit better than yours!" And she wanted me to post that. Though hers is a good nutshell as well, obviously.

But that proves you right. I was able to tell her exactly what I thought and she didn't get offended, she actually wanted me to share it with you. That's love. Or, as I'd nutshell it:

Love is wanting to be with someone, no matter what, even though you could never explain why.

by Maddog Sun Mar 07, 2021 1:26 am

Love is more problematic than lust, and often more expensive. Cool

by Eilzel Sun Mar 07, 2021 1:28 am

If you can explain why you love someone, you can explain how you could stop. That isn’t love. Love is indescribable.

Thanks mate.

Its why you and Eddie have true love

True love allows for complete honesty, even when it may hurt what we end up saying

As love removes all barriers of fear

I think however you offered up the best explanation of love Ben

"Love is wanting to be with someone, no matter what, even though you could never explain why."

Its the part that nobody can explain why. As nobody can truly explain a feeling inside of them when in love

So going to change my answer based off your wonderful definition and add to this

Love is simple the best natural drug the body creates

That is easy to explain how people stop loving each other

1. They forget how they first fell in love

2. They allow the first argument problem they have to go unresolved

3. Due to this one problem unresolved it turns into a thousand more problems that never existed before

4. Now things a person liked when in love became annoying

5. Love can always be tested and hence why those who truly love get passed problems they have. For better or worse.

6. They always maintain the love that made them giddy when they first met

7. Hence for love to continue and be maintained, means people always have to allow themselves to vulnerable and admit when they are a dick

Go figure mate

Oh I get it is totally easy to explain ‘how’ people stop loving each other. (It happens often enough lol).

But the answer to the question of ‘why’ you love someone is unanswerable IMO. I don’t love my OH for one particular reason or even set of reasons. It’s the thing that’s impossible to explain Smile

It induces a natural drug within us all right mate?

I really like that explanation me Lady but disagree on it being a curse or even a blessing

As I do not see love as a punishment.

Its only a punishment when the love someone has is not replicated

To be blessed is having a chance meeting with a true love

As I think we are all blessed in some way

Its more about taking the chances that come our way

Its always about not being afraid to express how we feel when in love

Explain why the answer is “no” to the question “Do you feel free to speak in modern society without people taking you the wrong way?”:

Because social media has given stupid people, a platform. Before social media, stupid people just watched TV.

In a nutshell:

I can express any opinion I have when talking to people in the UK, because I'll always be able to do so in a respectful way or be able to explain my reasoning.
In Thailand, certain opinions are strictly off limits and can lose you business, your job, gain stigma or land you in jail, the concept of 'losing face' is toxic here.
People don't care so much about explanations.

I could make a thread if you think that might be interesting.

You are free to speak in society and have just done so

The issue now is whether there is consequences on your speech Eddie

Hence cancel culture is the issue

Its basically like ancient Rome with mob rule

So you are right, when are views are accessed by more of society. Then our speech is more open to censorship

Then we are denied the ability to speak by said reactions

by Ben Reilly Sun Mar 07, 2021 3:05 am

My answer is that so many people online seem eager to use my words as a weapon against me that I feel like I have to script what I say so that it can't possibly be misinterpreted.
