2. Get rated & rate others: Are they hot, hot, hot (10)? Or are they not, not, not (1)? Share your thoughts using anything from a sliding scale of 1-10, to ✅ or ❎s, to whatever else you can think of. Agree? Disagree? Tell us why!

@ clown prince

[uncourteous]

If we are here to rate your ability to run as prey does, clearly you receive full marks — 10/10.

[curingidiocy]

[ Not this guy again. He's still burning with embarrassment from their last encounter. ]

You have obviously chosen to ignore the intended objective of this post to insult me. How juvenile.

[uncourteous]

I did not take you as the sort to be insulted by mere facts. Color me surprised.

[curingidiocy]

I have in no manner 'run as prey' in any of our encounters, so that is not fact. You have clearly twisted my preference to withdraw from situations I no longer find interesting to be something else in an attempt to provoke me.

[uncourteous]

No longer find interesting? That is a unique way of putting it. Though, perhaps you are right. Maybe I tried to attach the word "prey" too easily... when in reality, you were more like an innocent blushing maiden?

[ attempts to provoke continue... ]

[curingidiocy]

Your continued attempts at provocation are all too evident. 0 points.

[uncourteous]

Do you prefer when one's intentions are made unclear?

My, you seem to enjoy living life quite dangerously.

[curingidiocy]

If you intend on playing games with me, at least try to make it entertaining. But I suppose I can hardly expect delicacy from a brute like you.

[uncourteous]

Lacking in delicacy or not, you did not seem to mind my touch.

I suppose it must be more compelling than my words.

[curingidiocy]

Do you ever stop to use even a few of the brain cells rattling around that skull of yours? What a dull man you are. Since you are so incapable of reading between the lines, let me make it clear:

I did not appreciate your touch, and I will not stand for it in the future.

Do you understand?

[uncourteous]

I would watch my tongue if I were you. While your words suggested there being no distinction for rank and royalty here, I may just forget that one day.

Is that a threat? Should I be applauding your courage?

[curingidiocy]

My my, how quick to anger you are. Such conduct ill-fits a member of royalty. Or perhaps you come from a kingdom of barbarians who swing their fists the moment they feel slighted, like little children throwing tantrums?

I am merely informing you of my boundaries. Has the pampered prince has never been scolded before?

why are they like this

[uncourteous]

Anger? Perish the thought. If I were truly upset, do you not believe I would have already acted on such desires? Though, you're not exactly wrong. Are nobles not often the most vicious under the guise of seeming gentlemanly?

Scolded? Perhaps not. Rather, who would dare, but a fool who goes around exposing their skin for everyone's eyes. ... And yet, they are the first to shed tears the moment they're put on the spot.

because it's great and i love them

[curingidiocy]

And yet you immediately threaten violence instead of asking politely for what you desire. It takes very little to be courteous, yet you will find you gain so much more.

[ Okay Ratio but how many times have you insulted Callisto vs the other way around?? ]

Is that how the nobility of your planet behave? A shame. Perhaps I should blame your uncouth behaviour on such poor upbringing.

It may shock you, but other cultures have different perspectives on skin exposure. It is not, however, an invitation for touch. You would do well to keep that in mind.

[uncourteous]

Are such pretenses necessary between us when we have already done so much more? Courtesy seems rather redundant at this point. [ that's not how kindness works, but what would callisto know about that. ]

You could write a direct complaint to the present empress and I would not have a single thing to say. Rather, I would provide your letter directly onto her unseemly self if I could.

In case you forgot the order of events in your old age, you undressed me first.

[ he knows ratio isn't old, but listen... who forgets stuff about him? ]

[curingidiocy]

We have done nothing to justify the absence of courtesy.

[ Because they certainly aren't friends, and he doesn't even want to label Callisto as an acquaintance.

So he isn't fond of the other members of his family? Typical of royalty, he supposes. ]

At your guidance. Do not try to shift responsibility onto me.

[uncourteous]

It seems you are as cold-hearted as you are unused to affection.

[ pot and kettle; why do they constantly say these blanket statements that are actually more about themselves than they are the other party? perhaps, it's just a natural inclination for men and their pride. anyway, ratio is the real winner here since he actually has a lover. ]

Are you now suddenly claiming to be a mindless drone who acts without a single thought of their own? You are a stubborn man, so I would suggest for you to stop making such obvious excuses.

[curingidiocy]

And what have you done that you claim to be affection?

[ As satisfying as it would be to whip out that tidbit, he feels no need to reveal information about himself just to win a petty argument. Callisto will just have to discover this another day. ]

I never said I did not have any part to blame for that farce of a show. But I will not accept fault where it is undue.

[uncourteous]

For the likes of you, I think even just speaking with you candidly as I have is already quite the high honor. [ is that affection, though? probably not. but, he's not going to admit that. ]

Is that your way of suggesting we both foolishly take blame and call it a day? Unfortunately for you, I do not believe I did any wrong.

[curingidiocy]

You are free to continue upholding that lofty attitude of yours, but it will win you no allies here. Your status means nothing on a planet where your kingdom does not exist.

[ At this point the stovetop must be littered with black kitchen appliances, really. ]

Then we will simply have to disagree. I care not to convince you otherwise; it is an utter waste of my time to even speak to you.

[uncourteous]

Then I presume the same for you. Do you not find yourself quite contradictory? You consider my attitude "lofty," and yet your mouth moves in such a similar fashion.

[ listen, callisto has some self-awareness... ]

A waste of time to speak with me, but not to argue? I suppose it's true when they say "men do not really know what they want." [ or whatever he's seen on a social media post somewhere. he's learning. adapting... ]

[curingidiocy]

My conduct is based on my capabilities and accomplishments. Those will never change no matter where I'm located. What reason do I have to behave timidly?

I have chosen to entertain you this one time, so that you understand my boundaries clearly. I do not intend to prolong this conversation much further, unless you can finally contribute something of value to it.

[uncourteous]

Do you believe most are less accomplished than yourself? You are the picture of modesty. It must be difficult for you to be so humble.

[ he really has no room to speak, but what is this but them both being contradictory (and petty) the entire time. ]

You're welcome. I am relieved to hear that I brought such joy, delight, and value to your life.

[ that's all he has to say to that. :) ]

[curingidiocy]

That is fact. The only ones who can claim to be more accomplished than I would be members of the Genius Society.

[ Let's see you beat 8 PhDs, a cure for an extremely dangerous disease, solving the energy crisis of the century and forwarding humanity's understanding of species evolution by a millennium, Callisto. And that isn't even the full list of accomplishments under his belt. ]

Seeing as to how this conversation has only shown that you are unwilling to listen to reason, I look forward to seeing how you handle failure. Good bye.
