  • Growth mindset vs fixed mindset. If you tell a kid they’re smart when they succeed and they don’t get an A, they think “oh, this means I’m actually not smart and I never will be. If some people can be naturally smart, I guess I just naturally suck as a person”. If you tell a kid that hard work gets As and they get a B, they think “oh, I just need to work harder and try again next time”.



  • Lol, you realise the 1. And 2. On a dictionary imply separate contexts, right? You intentionally chose the context for apology that applies to a defence of criticism in literature, not a person to person apology for a mistake made.

    You’ve made yourself a clown and now you’re doubling down. It’s so rich, I love it. I’m going to end this little exchange on this delicious high note. Enjoy your weekend with your hand, buddy, because I won’t respond anymore, I’ll just let you impotently stew in it!



  • Bluetooth is a bigger hastle than just plugging in a wire.

    What? Literally every single pair of Bluetooth headphones I own auto connect to my phone by the time I have both buds in my ears.

    And all the cheap ones use Micro-B instead of C for charging

    I bought a cheap pair of $20 anker ones a couple years ago for gardening and they’re USB c. Even the cheapo taotronics I got from AliExpress were USB c. I don’t think micro has been in use for a while now.

    An apology does have to say sorry or it’s just an explanation. If they aren’t sorry, they’re not apologising, they’re just telling you what happened in a way that takes 0 responsibility.

    I know all I need to about you from this one simple statement and now realise you’ll be too pig headed to approach this in any way other than antagonistically in a desperate attempt to browbeat the other person into submission. Because for you, it’s not about reaching consensus, it’s about your own ego.

    You do you bro, I don’t care enough about anyone in this debate to bother responding anymore. Peace.




  • I put a “honk if you’re horny” bumper sticker on it and then some jerk followed me around honking for days. He said he was so horny, his stomach hurt. He even sat behind my car honking at my mother’s funeral until I gave him one of the porno mags from the boot of my car.




  • I’m telling you how people feel, I’m not writing a manual towards a post race society. When people feel ostracised because they look Mexican, they get salty about the same society who routinely rejected them and made them feel like outsiders gleefully housing down Mexican food and cosplaying at being Mexican.


  • The reason feelings of cultural appropriation exist is because the children of immigrants feel like society treats them as foreigners because they’re not white, despite growing up all their lives in the US/UK etc. This leads to feeling like some dipshit is enjoying the food and fashion of your home culture while rejecting it’s people. Think about a Maga moron voting to kick out all the Mexicans while wearing a sombrero and eating tacos; it’s a hypocrisy of culture vs race.
