Or any lesson for that matter
I don’t need to instantly be a pro at everything I do.
I don’t need to do every single thing the hardest way possible starting from the ground up.
I won’t learn these because my degree of ethics and authenticity is wayy too high.
It really doesn’t matter what you say when you argue with people on the internet. No historical evidence, statistics, political theory, or emotional appeal can change someone’s mind.
Without getting into US politics, I think this country is going to have to learn how to resist White supremacy & nationalism the hard way. Things have to get worse before they can get better.
I don’t quite agree. What you say won’t instantly change someone’s mind, but it plants a seed, sometimes even if the person seems to be doubling down hard.
When I’ve changed my mind about important things, it usually wasn’t because of one conversation. It was more like 100 conversations and articles that slowly built up doubt until one more point tipped me over. None of those individual conversations would have seemed to make a difference to the other person, but they ultimately contributed to me changing my mind.
You can plant the seed of doubt though, and sometimes that is enough for at least the smallest of changes. That’s why I enjoy getting e-gangbanged in l/Atheism. 😅
This is also true in person. Unless the setting is one where everyone involved is intentionally trying to expose themselves to new ideas they will ignore any new information they don’t want to hear.
i’ve changed my mind many times after being shown new arguments
You can’t change their mind, we just went over this!
I’m speaking in generalizations here, but I take your point.
You’re not going to want to do it later. It will just pile up until it’s unmanageable.

That it’s safe for me to be seen as I am, and I need to show up vulnerably and imperfectly in order to move forward in life.
I struggle with rsd and anxiety among other things, and instead of learning this lesson I keep hiding away and not actually living.
Not to try the Sunday crossword
“Stay the hell away from pizza and croissants even if you spent half your life in Southern Europe, dough doesn’t agree with you!” 😭
People hate to receive unsolicited advice, however useful or well-meant it is. By all means offer, but don’t force the issue if it’s declined.
And don’t say ‘I told you so’ if things end up going south, however tempting it might be.
How to drink water without choking on it.
I don’t understand why people care so much about what other people look like.
I’ll never get it. But I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who didn’t like obsesses over their ‘look’ and go off about how other people are horrible for not looking they way think they should.
and I kind of lose all respect for people who go on their little rants about fashion, or teeth, or haircuts or any of that, especially when they like use it to boost their own ego how they don’t wear crocs or something, it’s so weird and petty and gross.
The only time I care is when they should be old enough to dress appropriately and they choose not to
