coaltide | Morbane's coal

In quantum wankchanics, Morbane's coal is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, of quantum wankerposition. In the thought experiment, a hypothetical gift may be considered simultaneously both the fic of your dreams (TFOYD) and coal, while it is unread state, as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.

The Coaltide interpretation implies that, after a while, the gift is simultaneously TFOYD and coal. Yet, when a coalie clicks on their gift, the coalie sees the gift either TFOYD or coal, not both TFOYD and coal. This poses the question of when exactly quantum wankerposition ends and reality resolves into one possibility or the other.

Of course not, but I also don't let them know I've gotten rid of it, which is what refusing does. It is rude. That functionality is intended to allow people to dissociate with people who've written them hurtful fic, people they've had a falling-out with, etc. It is not intended to enable childish petulance over not getting a fic precisely to your taste. And, again, we aren't even talking about refusing; we are talking about trash-talking your gift to a (presumed) third party!

You talked about refusing, which is what I'm responding to. When grandma comes over and notices that her hideous oven mitt isn't in your kitchen, guess what: she knows you threw it out. Same for fic refusal: they have to be looking to see that, it's not like refusing sends them a notification.

Scroll up, I was responding to a specific question about refusing. Your creation of false dichotomies and subsequent flights of fantasy are not my concern.

I don't care at all about the rest of the conversation, I'm specifically talking to you and your bizarro world opinion that refusing a gift for being bad is Rude

Because it is. Hope that helps!

Ignore them, they're clearly trolling up and down the thread.

... how do you not keep a gift without refusing it?
