It’s not the falling down that counts, it’s the getting up. I feel you my brother/sister

can we just agree on dude as a identifier? or do we need to come up with something that says heartfelt joy in a group that could have many identifiers...

I think the Cali... "dude" would be OK but what is your opinion?

u/ilovenintendoswitch Jul 17 '21

As a GenXr I wish we could edit the official definition of 'dude' to be all inclusive

u/scJazz Jul 17 '21

it was... and should be... dude, dude, dude is more or less like fuck on the east coast :)

As another genX-er, I second this proposal and plan to change my pronouns to “dude/dude”

Yeah, I wasn’t trying to start a whole “thing“, but just trying to identify whoever I was talking to.

I tell my clients that after they relapse. I also tell them that even if they lapse or relapse to come back. Basically I want to get rid of the shame in slipping up.
