I'm trying to think of a funny way for Ryan to misunderstand Lemmy, but nothing comes to mind.

That's precisely my point: Reading more (specially fiction) gives you additional situations, context and ways to face different situations, as well as vocabulary, to help you express yourself when needed.
Dyslexia, anxiety, poor education, not being a native speaker, ADHD, etc.
That "etc." certainly includes living in an anti-intellectual society full of emotionally stunted people who learned that men shouldn't care about feelings and that reading is for dorks.
what if I can't put my feelings into words?
Read more. Then, write more.
It can be very hard to find the right words a lot of the time.
That can be, in many cases, because you don't read enough to have learned the proper words to express yourself. Maybe you're even convinced that reading isn't worth it.
If this is the case, you don't have anything worth saying. Better stay silent.
Hell no. That would turn anything other than unflinching obsequiousness towards obnoxious clients and potential fraudsters into a firing offense. Specially in the already dystopian US job market.
You're right, of course, but 🤮
My dad bought a small electric fan in the 70s. It still works (he gave it to me.)
I bought a taller fan in the 00s. The motor burned twice in 5 years and then I couldn't find where to repair it anymore.
Meanwhile, in Argentina, legislators granted special powers to the president, and now he's proposing extending the work day to 12 hours.
The current government in Argentina has legislators publicly advocating for both and the incumbent president campaigned on that also.
Fun times.
But style is also part of a person's personality no?
Yes, if you accept "no style" (not caring about clothes at all) as a kind of style.
Demanding a non-null style regarding appearance is unacceptable to me.
