I'm not here making some value statement about the importance of eye contact or whatever, for the record. do what u want, lots of people don't like direct eye contact, it could well be enought to look generally at people's faces most of the time, and it's a pretty intricate social tool, I'd argue. I'm not qualified to give complicated eye contact takes

Can we not do this?

Bringing redditisms here isn't helping anything.

"Can we not do this?"

The Redditor's effeminate fingertips clacked out on his RGB keyboard - rainbow colors, in honor of pride month after all, shone from its keys. Frustration mounted in the Redditor in the form of a scoff. He was clearly annoyed after all, that someone made him for the Redditor that he was. Almost as though Owl could smell the fetid stench of Funko and "ironically-kept" Gamer Girl Bath Water wafting from the screen.

"Bringing redditisms here isn't helping anything."

But what the Redditor did not type was all the more damning, "and how did you know I'm a Redditor anyway?"

I have nothing to hide. Majority of people here right now were users of reddit.

And no one hates reddit more than users of reddit.

I do appreciate that you're taking this as an opportunity for a creative exeecise. Not as low effort trolling as I originally expected.

Hello have you heard about the good news of your Lord and savior Jesus Christ, the free gift of eternal life through trusting in his finished work?
