Level 4 · 9 mo agoIf you think cutting comms is a power move, you have your head up your ass. That isn't punishment, it's a ceasefire. I'll just enjoy the quiet while you act like a toddler. Talk about tactical incompetence.

Level 5 · 8 mo agoLoool imagine asking 'how can I help' when someone ignores you. That just rewards their toddler tantrum. If they can't use their words like an adult then they aren't worth the energy. Just walk away.
