This is outside my apartment building, next to the car park. Is it a connector for a hose of some kind?

      No legitimate question is stupid, as it comes from a place of someone being curious and wanting to educate themselves. Don’t discourage that. Humanity already has too many people unwilling to learn anything.

            It’s even sadder that you a priori assume someone is having an emotionally difficult time just because they joke around.

              I didn’t say anything about emotional difficulty. I said I was sorry you’re dealing with whatever you’re dealing with, and left that open for you to fill in any blanks. I hope you’re having a good day 😀

                backpedaling are we? These “blanks” could either refer to having an emotional difficult time, or you pitying me by being different than you and viewing life through another lens. Not much else. Is that worth commenting on and in such manner?

                That or you just wanted to sound pretentiously preachy. I hope you’re having a good day “smiley face”

                  It’s not backpedaling to exactly quote a previous statement, and based on your command of the language, I think you know that. There’s a much more charitable interpretation of my statement that you’re not including: I know it’s hard to tell over text, but I genuinely wish you well. I wouldn’t have used the word pity to describe my observation of the fact that the universal human condition includes suffering, or “difficulty” of one form or another, though I suppose you’re right some sympathy (edit: which could be misinterpreted as pity) is required to relate to other human beings. Still, empathy is my preference. Is ‘sounds rough bro, have a good day’ so pretentious and preachy, or are you so cynical?

                  Since you seem to object to smileyface (and fair enough I suppose), I will simply say yes I am having a good day, and thank you for your well wishes.

                    you wouldn’t wish someone well if you didn’t think they were having an experience they themselves would describe as emotionally negative. That’s the reason why you said those blanks, right? We’re talking about the motivation that brought you here, which you hadn’t mentioned. Empathy and altruism are solely egoistic traits aimed at maintaining one’s own emotional equilibrium and well-being. That’s true, right? Objectively speaking? Subjectivity is meaningless, viewed objectively. Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everyone’s gonna die. So who’s the cynical one? I’m gonna watch tengoku daimakyou now.

      Or we could legitimately make it a “no assholes” community. Ask yourself whether you would belong there…
