If the follow up to you saying you’re done is them demanding to keep going, that is coercive and fucked up. I wouldn’t suggest lying in response unless you never plan to see them again, though, or if you feel safe and plan to address it later. It’s just as fucked up to keep up with the lie afterwards as it is to be coercive, imo. Both play coercive, indirect ways of refusing respect, and the tit-for-tat dynamic risks setting up a breeding grounds of resentment for at least the person maintaining a lie. It also denies the coercive person the opportunity for growth.

Are they arguing it wasn’t random though? I mean Shakespeare had to think through the plot and everything, not just scribble nonsense on a page

69% of the time, it works every time

I remember thinking she had dropped it on accident and felt bad for her when I first saw it as a kid. She made a little “oh!” with a look of what I thought was surprise

It would only show the info relating to the account though, right? I don’t share my Instagram because I can’t figure out how to disconnect it from my Facebook (plus it doesn’t embed on discord - very rude), but I don’t use my real info for any of my other accounts.

I thought that was just me being ADHD lol. I watched from home and paused a few times to do other stuff. I didn’t think it was great, but not the worst. I also went in looking forward to the musical numbers that somehow people didn’t know about. Overall maybe 6.5/10? (This is probably the first time I’ve graded a film tbh)

Certainly shouldn’t mean people are less than for being amused by it either… O.o

Actual fact: abortion is a life saving medical procedure

There’s a Netflix doc titled something like “the staircase” where a guy got tried for murder because his wife fell down some stairs. Regulations are written in blood, as they say

Good example for why journaling can be useful:)

Well murder risks further interaction with cops, the legal system, lawyers… Can I just stare at the stranger for 5 seconds? I could probably manage a smile.

Wait, you’re a stranger! Look ma I did it!

Weird, I guess he claims ghostwriters only assisted him with making outlines, but unless he had Steven King level of cocaine addiction idk how he was able to churn out that much so quickly. I haven’t read any of them since I was a kid, though. The dummy episodes gave me horrific nightmares.

Was Washington leading troops after he became president though?

Gotcha, I hear you. I didn’t mean that seeing the wall without context is normal to have a terror response to, either, but I think we’re in agreement otherwise. Tear down the walls by repairing the wall :P

I hope I wasn’t coming across as mocking? On the flip side, we should be able to laugh at ourselves…Some people laugh because they’re uncomfortable. If you want us to be empathetic to someone losing their shit for a sec, try to have some empathy for those that it scares. You don’t have to witness it for it to have an emotional impact.

I’d be more forgiving that it’s a pretty extreme scenario most people won’t experience in their lives, but I do think we have a responsibility to handle our emotions in healthy ways. Punching shit is dangerous. You can hurt yourself, and even if not, it’s a signal to me that you are capable of causing harm because you can’t control your anger. I’m not sticking around to find out my body may be next.

Keep in mind, anger is often if not usually a secondary emotion to pain, fear, sadness, etc. Anger can be a great motivator, but again, how it’s expressed is important. Use your words, find some other action that doesn’t scare people (like take boxing classes where that’s the point), or process it on your own first.

I’m not sure what you mean.

Crying signals sadness. Punching signals danger.

More like asking “you think I’m charismatic?”
