Got on the train, carriage is fairly empty. I am quite pleased by this and head towards a seat.

Suddenly, not one, not two, but three noisy small children are loaded on around me.
Me = NNOOOOOOOOOO

So I fled to the next, more crowded carriage and wound up in a less ideal seat that I may-or-may not have to surrender to a 'special needs' passenger at some point. Or worse yet, some slob might sit next to me. It's unlikely, people tend to avoid such a fate, but on a crowded train you never know. I'll have to remove my sunnies so that my ghoulish pallor can frighten people away.

Get on my level, 53km of sardine can squishing out to my stop, and it gets slowly worse right up until like three stations before mine. Even worse when you have a bike and people shoot you dirty glares for "HOW DARE YOU WANT TO GET PLACES FASTER WITHOUT USING A CAR".

I've been told off by some old bint before who said that I shouldn't be taking a bike on the train, because other people deserve the space more.

No worries, I'll just cycle 150km a day for uni. That's totally achievable and wouldn't leave me feeling too exhausted to study, right?

So my body occasionally does this weird thing where it starts to just overheat and produce a lot of heat only to vent it out.

My room is individually air conditioned (yay!) and I feel overheated.

Don't try to reason with Putnam when it comes to language.

Only madness lies that way.

maybe if people actually argue with what i'm saying instead of completely ignoring that and going over semantics it would be nicer

I use cringe for when something is so awkward/shameful/dumb that it almost causes me physical pain or makes me recoil.
For example, my old posts.

Yup.

yup yup.

Nah, I got over that my first few nostalgia-hikes.
Luckily young-me had the presence of mind to firmly erase any sort of emotional or vulnerable moments quickly after they happened. I'm almost a little proud.

reddit keeps misusing "cringe"

No, we all agree with you on that point. Everything else is semantics, and therein lies the argument.

[Putnam]

...i'm saying that people around here have misused cringe in the past and everyone disagreed when i said that they were using the reddit usage of the word

[Neonivek]

UGH! my body is overheating xD

I turned the AC up and I know my room is cool >_< but for some reason I just keep getting hotter...

I'll turn the AC back down before I go to sleep.

[Yoink]

You sure you don't have a fever?

[scrdest]

You sure you don't have a fever?

Fever tends to be the opposite.

[Yoink]

I'm pretty sure there are hot and cold fevers...

[MonkeyHead]

I'm pretty sure there are hot and cold fevers...

No, that's deserts. Oh, and Desserts.

[Frumple]

There's hot and cold sweats, but a cold fever appears to be something not even wikipedia acknowledges as anything but a movie title.

[Yoink]

Well Wikipedia is silly, then.
It's definitely a thing. And besides, what Neo is experiencing sounds like a hot fever, anyway.

[Frumple]

... google is also not finding anything except some music-related stuff, a light novel, and a company that produces skate/surfing/ski/etc. boards. Maybe it's some local thing for your area? The world at large seems to not be using the term to describe anything medical.

[scriver]

I don't think the word fever means what Yoink thinks it means.
