I don't care what you think of me, only how you came to think it.

Gay chicken is the game where two straight males pretend to be gay, and the first one to cum loses.

Could I get your guys' opinion on something? Is there something wrong with an ablebodied person using a handicap bathroom stall? Like, I understand handicap spaces in parking lots. Handicap people can't walk as far and so they need to park closer. But the handicap bathroom stall is just meant to be bigger in order to accomadate someone who needs more space. That's it. Like, does being handicap mean that you are going to suddenly shit yourself if you have to wait a few more minutes to do your business? No! Of course not! All it means in this case is that you are weaker and more defenseless. It shouldn't be seen as strange for a handicap person to lose the battle against an ablebodied person. Listen, you can easily afford to wait there crawling on the ground for a few minutes while I use the stall ahead of you. Honestly I would let you keep your wheelchair if you just let me cut ahead of you instead of trying to go into the stall when I told you not to. I'll give you back uour wheelchair after I'm done.

A lot of you probably don't know this, but in real life I'm actually a gardener. Just the other day I was looking at a BRAND NEW glove and do you know what I found? A hole! So yeah, I stuck my hand in the glove's hole and got to work on gardening.

I've had some pretty horrific nightmares before. Is it weird that I've never been scared to sleep because of them, or hated them after the fact? Like, I'll awake with a start and it will take me a moment to remember where I am, but nightmares aren't real. Why should I be upset about dreaming them?

Pro tip for apologizing! Focus on what the other person did wrong and what they can do so that you might not wrong them again in the future. For example: "Hey! You killed my dog!" "Yeah well maybe in the future you should teach your pets not to bark at me!" Follow me for more great tips on getting along with others!

It's super fucked up what just happened to me. I was having an imaginary argument in the shower (which I do a lot) but then the other guy's argument struck me at the core of my being. No comeback whatsoever to that devastating observation. I avoid good experiences from bad things because other people believe that experiences themselves have inherent value. However I allow bad experiences from good things because I personally believe that experiences themselves have no inherent value. Like... isn't that a contradiction? In one case I'm acting based on other people's beliefs, and in the other case I'm acting based on my own beliefs. Shouldn't I just choose one and stick with it? Because at this point it seems like I just hate good experiences and like bad experiences. I refuse to accept that, but it would be really nice to have SOMETHING I could point to showing that's not the case. If you argue against yourself and lose then does that make you good at arguing or bad at arguing?

Man, politics and economics are hard. Why can't we just like, sacrifice a few goats or something? That would be a lot more straightforward.

One of my favorite rhetorical techniques is to use multiple negative descriptors to criticize something, and then to complement an alternative, but still keep one of the negative descriptors. Here is a recent paraphrased example: "We should rise above the abstract and meaningless semantic arguments so we can have a more concrete and meaningful semantic argument instead" I feel like this language trick encourages critical thinking. Just because a descriptor has a bad connotation doesn't mean you should be afraid to use it for something you approve of. Especially if it is one of the cases where the descriptor is accurate and good.
