A lot of people PREACH about diversifying your feed and “opening your mind” by following/tuning into POC, LGBT+, or female creators, yet DO NOT diversify their own feed by following/tuning into people with different opinions [i.e., Blaire White (trans woman), Jordan Peterson, Abby Shapiro (Jewish woman), Matt Walsh (father of 4-5 kids), etc].

WHICH, by doing so, you will open your mind further since you get to hear opinions or ideas that you, or anybody similar to you, probably won’t ever come up with. Sticking to what is comfortable, or what you know, is not diversity. Step out of your comfort zone. Practice what you preach and be inclusive of all people, maybe you’ll actually learn something.

I know I did. My eyes are more open than I ever thought they were thanks to tuning into content other than what is created solely by one community.

You’ll never grow as a person, or step closer to finding middle ground with others who think differently than you, if you never take the time to hear them out. Some people desperately want their opinions and “truths” to be heard and accepted, but isn’t that how everyone feels? Listen to people and you will be listened to.

If you keep pushing people away who have differing opinions/views, then you are part of the problem.

We are more alike than different.

It all starts with healthy discussions, focusing on middle ground, sticking to what is real, listening to concerns, finding where you agree, and going from there.

Hot take: I actually think men and women are meant to work together and complement each other and not like,,, dislike each other and be divisive.

#gender wars #txt #unfortunately this is a hot take in today's world #specially on social media #“WeLl ACKShualLy-” you know some moron is gonna come up with an idiotic argument #that justifies why men and women MUST be separate #funny how all the people who claim to be logical and have excellent critical thinking skills throw it away when it comes to gender-related #discussions by any means necessary because they were told that they should discard all logic and be led by emotion for the “cause”

i have a counter argument to the 'only one person can boop bill' thing, mabel. she's the type of person to slap stickers on people, she would definitely be the type to also boop others occasionally and bill would be no exception. she probably doesn't do it to annoy bill like dipper would, but maybe as a form of a friendly gesture, kind of like those people who will lightly punch friends in the arm when they hang out.

You know what? Good point. Mabel would get away with more than most, as a fun-loving lady! Bill understands those impulses, and being a touchy person! He indulges in similar ones himself.

Though when Bill's not in the mood to be playful and gets booped anyway? The 'sister-in-law' status grants her considerable grace.

#answers #Though in addition to that - Mabel's general chaos and level of Fun Times is something Bill genuinely likes #Catch these two having one too many margaritas and slinging arms over each other's shoulders while singing too loud and off key #She'd have some leeway even without the brother situation #But Mabel gets a pass on things she normally wouldn't purely on the merit of 'this would piss off the spouse'#The thing about Bill is he's genuinely fun to party with - right up until he decides you're the pinata #Even now there are times when she thinks she's doing something 'cute' and Bill was NOT in the mood but just has to grin and bear it #Instead of breaking fingers one by one #Dipper is singular in his ability to get away with Pretty Much Everything #It's love yest but it's also communication and personality I'm afraid #If Bill DID call Dipper out on doing something Too Far he'd get an embarrassed and apologetic husband. With kisses of sorry.#Though in minor circumstances: he starts arguing with him #Turns out that bickering is a better way to deescalate with Bill than most other tactics and Dipper's a pro #Now Bill's gotta think semi-rationally to Win The Argument instead of acting on impulse.#And in the process of debate he not only: learns where his husband's coming from but has time to cool off #Congratulations Dipper! Your Nerdy Logic brain and ability to Rise to a Challenge prevent Bill from going immediately nuclear #Plus showing off that big sexy intellect of yours doesn't hurt #Whereas I see Mabel pushing one of Bill's few boundaries and then deflecting. She ain't great at conflict #Brushing it off and laughing; Jeez it was just for fun!! Lighten up already!#Exactly what Bill says when HE'S being a dick to someone!#Which is why he'd react Very Badly to that excuse #Ha ha! Fun! Of course Bill loves fun! You know what HE thinks is FUN #Barbecue. Flash-fried pork ribs. Where's that stupid pig #Dipper has to disarm that particular bomb and I highly doubt it's a pleasant process

If there’s ever actually a good Live Action Teen Titans show about the OG team, I NEED a New Girl-like scene where Garth finds out he’s colorblind. Like you know how there’s that whole scene of Winston thinking money is brown and stuff and Schmidt being like ‘if that’s brown what color do you think you are’? Yeah I need it in teen titans format.

#Like I want them to be talking about superhero costumes and stuff and the topic of the GL costume comes up and Garth says something like #“yeah it’s nice I guess but I don’t really like the fact that it’s so monotone”#queue the record scratch screen glitch and pause because the team are just as confused as we are.#Then one of them has to very gently break the news “it’s not monotone Garth it’s black and green”.#Then Garth just stops working for a few seconds before saying “haha very funny”.#Then after a very long and very heated argument about this Wally (the logical one) West has the bright idea to ask #“Garth what colors do you think your costume is monotone?”#And of course Garth replies “wdym of course it is.”#dc comics #comics #robin #aqualad #wonder girl #speedy #teen titans #og teen titans #also it would be one million percent funnier if he’s known for a long time that he was colorblind and just forgot to tell them #so he uses this opportunity to mess with them because of course he’ll take this opportunity to mess with them #garth of shayeris #garth of atlantis #Garth #Wally west #Roy Harper #Donna Troy #dick Grayson

Fandom will be like “Arthur wouldn’t have been so bigoted if it wasn’t for [that EVIL Merlin trying to fulfill the prophecies through Arthur to create a long-lasting future for his kin. oh and Uther] the actions of everyone else around him” bro it doesn’t sound like much accountability is being held for one’s own actions :/ bro

#this may scare you but arthur was a bigot before merlin showed up in camelot #before merlin asked him to show kara mercy. and arthur tried to humiliate her instead of just letting go of his pride #you think that merlin prioritizes arthur over magic because you ship them. when the prophecy literally hinges on arthur #he’s not trading freedom over for arthur. he’s trading a short term solution over for the promised long-term one. the golden age. hello #arthur meanwhile believes exactly what he wants to believe. and he is benefitted personally by the ban on magic. it sways his guilt #and his cognitive dissonance. so he stays #you know he was never given an argument for or against magic in 5x05? but he WAS given one DIRECTLY BY MERLIN in 5x09 #Merlin who BELIEVES that Arthur will free them. because he has seen prophecies come true before. and he’s seen Arthur’s potential.#you will blame anyone but the person who actually does it #‘arthur can’t NOT be a bigot! he’s been hurt by magic!’ okay well then uther can’t not be a bigot. we woobifying him too?#no? then don’t apply that logic for arthur either #it’s simple as this: you have to apply the same logic and morality across the board. you can’t make exceptions or have double standards.#fandom critical #arthur critical

kind of funny how indirectly the story is signposting the reader to start thinking in the general direction of my notion of the 1-10 culprit theory

#umineko liveblog #we should be thinking about how the epitaph and the inheritance tie into the motive #since yes it does make no sense for someone like eva to kill this obviously #but the inheritance is still brought up and they died during the argument so it does indicate the inheritance still played some role #and eva is right that murdering the siblings like this is a very stupid way to do things #so therefore the most stupid ushiromiya sibling (krauss) should be considered #except since eva is the only surviving sibling and she wouldn't orchestrate this #you need to then think about why the occult stuff #which indicates someone with occult knowledge was involved #and logic dictates it could not be kinzo or maria so then you look further afield #and have to consider the servants who were close enough to kinzo to know about beatrice #which can be correlated with that one conversation between kanon and genji when the letter was read out #i know i'm kind of saying the same thing a lot here #but i think it's a good exercise to keep testing my theory against whatever piece of information comes my way #and so far it's still mostly holding strong which is a good sign (or i am just so wrong that i can't see anything but my assumption lol)

oh i finally realized why the agathos are 💢💢💢 towards vergil 🤏🏻🕶️😳

#besides the whole wanting to go to hell thing being counter to their own beliefs and morals #because you know i think. given the context of being a Son of Sparda. there's an obvious and logical desire to know your father better #so i think the agathos Could empathize would that. many of them probably Would empathize with that!#so that overall argument falls flat bc the agathos Overall dislike vergil. why would All of Them go 😒😒 at him?#well it finally clicked :] if you sacrifice your right to peaceful eternal slumber to confine One Fucking Guy in time prison forever #and dumb people keep showing up to your time prison because the One Fucking Guy was notorious for hoarding secret knowledge #and these people keep getting killed in pursuit of evil knowledge + thus fueling the One Fucking Guy's ability to some day break the chains #of the time prison and invoke calamity yet again. Well! wouldn't it be quite frankly Alarming #if some dude with MegaBlood™️ that everyone can smell from a mile away waltzed in... get this!! ALSO in search of the evil knowledges #thus kind of threatening at its very core the exact thing you sacrificed your human soul and afterlife to..#and despite your big red warning signs to LEAVE he just pushes further and further into your time prison and closer + closer to The One #Fucking Guy.. it's one thing for his travelling buddy to do that bc whatever 🙄 she's just a human after all. it will take like 400 more of #her to break the time prison.. but this one guy is like.. 500 of her in one convenient little package! fucked up!!#there is some vergil apologism amongst the agathos but overall they're like 😑😑😑 *skyrim guard voice* NEVER should've come here!!!! 💢#i imagine a lot of them are like girl why would you want to go BACK to hell??? your dad ABANDONED that place!! 😭😭 0/10 reviews on Yelp!!#also we will Not Address the growing vampiric themes in the fprsq.. 😶 it is not my fault that arkham's little ritual relied so heavily on #blood and i based Many Things off that ritual! 🤧🤧😝#sriracha.txt #fprsq #that is her official tag now ☺️ gioia deserves her own tag after all :]

growing up for me has been constantly and simultaneously realizing “oh my parents were right” and “oh my parents were wrong”

#a big thing for me growing up was that i had a really hard time disagreeing with my dad #my dad is very smart and very knowledgeable so it was hard for me to believe that he’d come to the wrong conclusion #at least about things he seemed educated about #but recently i’ve been seeing more holes in his logic #and i realized i was having this cognitive dissonance of like. this logic doesn’t make sense to me. but it’s my dad so he must understand -#this better than i do #i want to emphasize my dad didn’t like. train me not to question him #over the years there were several times that i would bring him a new perspective/new information and he’d go oh i never thought of that #he was just always more well-read than me so he had fact based arguments that i didn’t have a response for #personal

my mum will say the nastiest rottenest things to me and then she’ll calm down and be like ‘sorry 😝’ and ill move it on bc it’s not worth getting her angry again but inside im like babygirl maybe u have some anger issues maybe

#at one point she was like ‘do you think im mean?’ and I was MAD mad at this point and both of us mad is never good #bc we’re just trying to hurt each other for no other reason than to know we’ve got through to the other #so I was like ‘YES I think you’re mean’ ‘but only when I’m angry’ ‘that doesn’t justify it’ ‘but you agree only when I’m angry’#and I didn’t know what she was getting at so I was like ‘yeah?’#THIS BITCH GOES ‘huh I can live with that’ LMAO???#anyway I moved out of my uni room today and a year ago when I moved IN me and my mum rowed the entire time #and it’s a real sore point for me bc it was her saying how cold I am and that she basically doesn’t like how I’m turning out #(direct quote)#and me saying how her temper ruins everything and she can’t see sense #and low and behold we effectively had THE EXACT SAME ARGUMENT today a year later #‘your lack of empathy astounds me. I despair of you’ (that’s a new one. 11/10 word choice she didn’t need to go so hard with that)#and me going back with ‘I hate you when your angry’ and very dangerously close to ‘your just like your mother’ territory #shits and giggles!#I’ve just had a nap bc we’ve been up since 4am and she came upstairs #and I fully pretended to be asleep bc I know that means she’s come to apologise #which means she’s actually taken a second to BREATHE and stop being so fucking angry #and low and behold it returns all logic and critical thinking skills to her #and I’ll have to forgive her because I do genuinely hate her when she’s angry #and it’s just not worth holding onto so I’ll take an out if she gives it me #but it’s soooo frustrating and unnecessarily upsetting for BOTH of us #and I hate that we still fucking do this and I’ve got a whole summer of it and I can’t just go back to uni now and yeah #live love etc #delete later #don’t reblog

Idk I feel like today's ep would have been a great segue into talking about the punch bc I STILL wanna know how people reacted to that news

#this is NOT a chimney hate area you can fuck off with that #i am trying to unlearn pushing my own decision making onto these characters #bc i have been very guilty of that (my initial lawsuit era was a cringefail moment)#but like i do want to know how the rest of the 118 reacted #eddie reacted... interestingly but also he was Going thru it #like i am curious as to how that conversation went #did buck tell anyone????#i have QUESTIONS #anyway i love the buck/hen dynamic here because weve never really seen him get in her face before #and they both have such genuine valid reasons for their arguments #did hen overstep? yeah. especially considering the whole eva situation #does buck 100% prioritise his sister?? also yes. he has blinders on when it comes to her #anyway #9 1 1 spoilers #9 1 1 season 6 spoilers #9 1 1 #911 tv show #9 1 1 season 6 episode 16 #also before anyone comes for me logically yeah it wouldnt have fit the narrative AT ALL and wouldve changed the convo courss #but i can imagine buck bringing it up when hes talking to hen in the loft initially

I think sometimes if people react with hateful words, then you really have touched a nerve and there is a crystal of truth in what you said. Even if there may be parts that were wrong or phrases wrong. If that person keeps. Attacking you even though you've said you were sorry for the parts that were wrong, a nerve definitely was touched. Or else they're just hateful and vindictive about things that shouldn't matter so much on this screen of glowing light.

I'm not talking about people respectfully disagreeing. That isn't hate

Once you resort to hateful words, you've lost any credibility and thus lost the argument.

I love it when terfs think they're going to win an argument with me.

Honey, I always have time to school a bigot.

#literally every single terf who tries ends up looking dumb as hell #they all stop responding once you ask them about intersex people #they want to pretend to be inclusive and go intersex people are either male or female and don't seem to realize they invalidated their #whole ideology by doing so #you wanna pretend to be inclusive?#i got you baby girl #come to mama #let me teach a thing or two about logically consistent arguments

the internet sucks because no one else watched the same 3 hour long video that provided in depth analysis and nuanced takes about something and now everyone is just spitting out the same 2 opposing points in an attempt to debate without ever having a chance to get the other person to consider their views at least slightly which has caused the discourse to devolve into needless guilt tripping and i need you people to SHUT UP!!! OKAY!

#i think people always forget that to convince someone to look at something a certain way you cant just #try to appeal to their emotions even if its an emotional thing especially if your view is primarily influenced by your emotions #and people dont feel the same things as you so you GOTTA use logic!!! and get to their level and determine why they think the way they do #without just resorting to getting really angry and telling them to feel bad and this is something that requires logic to do #and sometimes you're gonna get mad at them and think theyre stupid and how you're right and theyre wrong and then #you go and research more and find out that hey you're both right and wrong in certain aspects and its not a black and white thing #and thats okay!!! i did that recently!! and its fine! i learned things! i ended up being more compassionate to other people!!#but like guys. guys? just telling people to feel bad about what they think is going to convince literally no one #like come on this is forming a valid argument 101 obvi you can get emotional but you cant expect the other party to share your emotions

well you see the thing is. minecraft is cubes. and also its a sandbox game not a puzzle game. you can make your own poll tho ♥

#so many people in my notes asking 'wheres (game that is not a puzzle game composed of a fairly static square grid)'#not in the poll babes!#also i literally put an 'other' option what more do you want from me.#im also hesitant to include tetris bc i feel like that ones more skill based than logic based and my poll is kinda focused on more logic-y #games but i suppose the crossword is knowledge-dependent so. like i said #i cant really come up with an argument as to why tetris doesnt feel includeable to me but it doesnt

my dad always conveniently forgetting i’m gay snd saying that i can’t be because ‘i haven’t been with anyone yet’. it makes me laugh so hard at how much he doesn’t know imaoooo

#i’ve dated like six people #i’ve kissed someone before #it’s soooo wild to remember he doesn’t know that imaooooo #i’ve literally come out to him like ten times #either he literally is ignoring it out of homophobia (likely) or he just straight up forgot (also likely)#remembering how closeted i was is also so wild #like i just don’t care anymore #it’s so boring to hide yourself #like sorry i’m not up to your standards #sorry i’m not gonna have a million kids and marry a douche bag like my sister did #i literally don’t understand why it matters as long as i’m happy??#like wow i’ll have a wife instead of a husband big fuckin whoop!#literally grow up x #i wanna tell my brother just to stir shit because i know he’ll tell my dad #but the arguments it will cause will be boring lol #like the adrenaline rush will be cool and then i’ll just get bored of talking about it #especially because my dad will treat me like i’m a child #literally he’s always like ‘i can’t tell your sisters what to do. they’re adults with their own lives’#okay?? so apply the same logic to me??#bizarre behaviour fr #gwen rambles #gwenposting
