Baby sphinx trying to be like mama and waylaying travelers, but all its riddles are completely non-sensical like the ones a 1st grader would tell

proud victim of the tumblr accent. it's fading out of public consciousness as the tik tok accent takes precedence; a linguistic evolution that makes the tumblr accent 85% funnier to unsuspecting civilians. it's like releasing a disease on a non-inoculated population. coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.

>no idea what a tumblr accent even is

Nothing hits like "romantic couple and a third guy who's not dating either of them but is definitely a part of this dynamic"

Do you ever write a sentence and then realize “Nah, that’s too self aware for you” and backspace a bunch of times.

You know that whatever character did those problematic things isn't like. Real, right?

lakemojave

You are aware that a fictional character is just a rhetorical construct designed to fulfill a narrative/thematic purpose right? That their actions are written by an author who wants to use them to explore complex ideas and moral gray areas within the safe confines of fiction right? That they aren't a real person who has killed real people right?

“When we were kids, the Phonics Wizard came to our town to show off how the letter E can change the sounds of vowels. He turned a can into a cane, a pin into a pine. This one kid had a cap and he changed it into a cape, that kind of thing.

“And we loved it, we were all having a great time, but then he saw my sister and I, and he just got this - this look in his eyes, and then-”

She hesitated, worrying the coarse material between her fingers. “Things got pretty bad after that,” she muttered. “I know it’s silly, but I try to keep - her - comfortable. We don’t know if she can still hear us, or see us, or if she’s even still in here, but I like to think she is. I talk to her when I can, I leave music on when I’m out of the house. I tried to convince my parents to bring her with us when we went to Disneyland, but they didn’t - didn’t really take that well.”

After a moment, she put the ball of twine back onto its pillow. “Anyways. They tried to arrest the Phonics Wizard, but he had a plan in case something went wrong and he turned it into a plane and flew away.”

I highly recommend developing a tolerance for polite low level conflict, not just because it will serve you well when employers or whoever try to impose bullshit on you with the expectation you'll fold rather than expend energy arguing, but because it will make you a genuine asset to your friends and allies whenever they're in positions where they're less able to fight for themselves.

the first and most important step is learning to stay calm when someone with authority tries to pressure you. take a breath, think about what you actually believe, and respond in your own time. if they try to brush past or talk over you, you can say "excuse me, can I think about that for a moment. I'd like to give you a proper answer." self esteem. you're both just upright monkeys.

Another great line is: "I'm not sure I agree with that."

You reserve the right to later say: "Yeah, I've thought it over, listened to your explanations. I agree now."

You haven't yet said you disagree.

But you've effectively communicated to the other person: "This point is not 100% self-evident. It needs more discussion or explanation if you are to convince everyone of it."

It also doesn't share much about your own viewpoint. It throws the ball back to the other person. Do they want to backpedal and say: "Well, okay, yeah, I was exaggerating. I really mean this other slightly less overgeneralized thing." or do they want to try to explain why they believe it is correct? Or ask you what you don't understand about it? Or ask you what other perspective might seem more compelling?

There are a lot of options and in my experience they all lead to a better place than just letting someone bowl you over with a point you weren't 100% on board with.

Yeah!

A major skill in polite conflict is making sure you're not expecting to convince the other person. The minute you're invested in getting someone else to agree or understand, you're setting yourself up to get agitated.

Your job is only to calmly and gently lay out that no, you don't agree, and no, you aren't going to comply. The other person may or may not believe you, but you are just giving them information so they have the freedom to act on it or not.

Sure, if the other person gives you a good opportunity to explain, then it's great to communicate your perspective clearly and charitably. Someone can take on the task of trying to understand you, and you can support them in that goal.

But you can't dictate any aspect of what someone else is going to think or do.

Accepting that is the first step in not getting stressed and exhausted every time you find yourself at odds with other people.

Twice a year in Hawaii the sun passes directly overhead and objects cast no shadow. It’s a phenomenon called “Lahaina Noon”

This conversation is funnier hearing just one half of it.

syekick-powers

extremely underrated subgenre of tumblr post: when someone makes a general statement about something, and another person offers a counter-statement that's just completely nonsensical, and the OP just agrees instantly even if it makes no sense at all

examples:

Do not fear.

it's always funny to me when ppl act like it's somehow incestuous for characters who consider each other found family/chosen family/whatever u wanna call the trope to date each other, and it's funny for many reasons, but most specifically it's funny because irl when you meet a person and get really attached and decide that you want to be family with them, there's a very popular legally recognized way of doing that & it's called marriage

derinthescarletpescatarian

Marriage promotes incest because then you end up having sex with a family member
