I always loved science and as a kid thought I was hot shit, if I didn't know how something worked I'd guess based on what I knew and my gut
One time when I was particularly up my own ass, my teacher asked the class what causes gravity, and I raised my hand and strode to the board and drew a diagram explaining that it was because the earth is spinning
That was the best ride, I'd ride it a bunch of times in a row and try to do situps or turn around and do high gravity pushups like in dbz lmao
I just wrote a damn manifesto about this as a reply to this post. I honestly think it helps, though my only evidence is me, so idk.
Lol that's pretty good advice you'd be a fun person to be around. I'll try to take my dumb ass less seriously
I really believe it works! Once I realized what I was doing, I realized that when embarrassing things happen, my immediate response is to think, "This is going to be HILARIOUS when I tell people about it later!" And I really think it robs the bad moment of its power. Like, I actually get excited about the dumb shit that I do because I know it's going to be a great story. Tell it a few times, it gets less funny as the immediacy goes away, and POOF! it's forgotten.
one time in highschool i accidentally called a girl ugly when i was actually referring to a book's cover and she had a crush on me and she ran out of the room crying
i mean she was like a tradcath or something so she wouldnt be pleased by my trans ass anyways
yeah those idpol critiques are difficult to get right cuz ur walking a thin line in a room full of libs who are conditioned by the media to immediately think you’re a chud
that's tough. I went through a libertarian phase for a couple of weeks and went on some monologues to people i barely knew about how government intervention is always a bad thing.
Boss: good morning ambitiousplant!
Me: good morning ambitiousplant!...wait fuck
How I nearly went down the right libertarian pipeline before 2016.
Just about every big and small social mistake I've made in my life, I run through them like I'm counting a deck of cards.
