Growing up is actually all about realizing people don’t inherently dislike you and it’s a bit odd to assume they do

#I was thinking about this exact tweet like yesterday#I try to remind myself of it often#that putting negative thoughts on other people is not only harmful to yourself#but also is actually a mean way to characterize a person you love and care about#and deciding to center how you think about people in a more positive light DOES help with negative self image#like it doesn’t magically cure it and I still deal with it a ton#but it’s easier when you remember that like op said. dislike is not a default state#I usually use this with loved ones but this applies to strangers too#I don’t think malicious thoughts about randos on the street#and maybe I should assume they’re the same way#rather than making a random person a villain in my head in order to hurt myself#still have social anxiety tho lol via @tisyre​

I wish you wouldn't picture me that way' and something clicked". /End ID]

WRONG

WHO’S READY TO DEFRAUD THE GOVERNMENT

I love the latest controversy in the Catholic church! Some priests haven't been doing baptism right and because they decided those are all void they gotta deal with the implication they sent people to hell as a bit of a whoopsie.

My understanding is that the priest was criticized for saying "we" instead of "I" during the baptism, which took him by surprise because he had been doing that the entire time he's been a priest, and that led to every baptism he's ever performed being declared invalid.

Then other priests started to come forward saying that they also had been saying "we" instead of "I", and therefore all their baptisms don't count.

Then people started to look back at videos of their own baptisms, and now multiple priests have discovered that their own baptism was never valid in the first place, therefore they have never been *really* Christian, and therefore have never been priests, and everything they've done in their entire career was meaningless.

And the reason they have to say "I" and not "we" is because the baptism is really being performed by Actual Jesus Christ, not by a "we" of any sort, literal or figurative. And you know what that means?

This whole thing is happening because people weren't using Jesus's preferred pronouns.

Okay so I'm a Jew and not a Catholic so this is absolutely not my circus nor my monkeys, but I love nothing if not a good argument so--

--while it is, under Jewish law, idolatry* and therefore to be discouraged, I think one could very easily make the argument that "we" refers to the Catholic Trinity. Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Like yes they're all the same entity but they're all also different enough to be called by different names and referred to as separate parts of a whole. So if you wanted to claim your "we" baptisms were valid, you could easily say "listen, it's like a combination of the Trinity and the royal we. They were baptized by Jesus and also by his Father and by the entrance of the Holy Spirit [or however the fuck it is that works, even when I was a Christian I didn't understand it]."

I mean personally I'd like it if this is the thing that finally cripples the Catholic Church as a world power, but also I recognize that this is going to be causing very real, very needless pain and anguish for a lot of people, and I would prefer that those people not have to go through all that shit simply because the church has once again chosen form over function.

*before I get a whole bunch of angry DMs: the most important Jewish prayer, the Shema, literally says "G-d is Lord, G-d is One." The fact that G-d is one undivided being is central to Judaism. The Christian Trinity qualifies as polytheism under Jewish law, and thus idolatry; groups like the Catholic Church, which make actual statues of Jesus and put them up to pray to, fall even harder under this category, because the whole thing with the golden calf apparently went right over their heads. Not all Jewish authorities will call it idolatry, but--under Jewish law, yeah, technically, it very much is idolatry.

stole this from twitter. yall which one do i give off??

I just watched this five times in a row. And my soul left my body each time. Masterful.

One of the world’s most ‘developed’ countries, everyone

why does nobody on this sight understand the meaning of “you’re welcome” as in “you’re welcome to my help” goddamit lol. there’s always some post about how “you’re welcome” is somehow a selfish thing to say like what do you think it means…

I GET ANNOYED WHEN PEOPLE ARE WRONG ABOUT WORDS OK.

I think it’s a generational thing! Younger people are more likely to say “no problem” instead, because it’s like saying “you have not inconvenienced me at all, your needs are not burdensome and I’m happy to help” whereas “You’re welcome” reads more like “yeah, i went out of my way to help you and it took some time and energy (even though I don’t mind it” and can feel somewhat passive-aggressive sometimes.

Whereas older people often feel that “no problem” is rude because it’s like “hey i’m trying to thank you for something, and you’re just minimizing it and acting like there was nothing to thank you for”.

So I think it’s just perceptions shifting over time *shrugs*

I know I’ve read that post but I don’t think either phrase is better or worse and I think that is absolutely not what “you’re welcome” means. I fucking hate that post lol. You’re welcome means “you’re welcome to my help” like I was totally happy to help you, there’s absolutely no negative connotation to it, there’s no negative connotation to “no problem” either! It’s just such a stupid meaningless generational complaint, those posts agitate me so much. And I’ve seen multiple posts like that! UGH.

Hot take: be like the British, say ‘Don’t mention it.” Throws everyone in the USA off their track.

I’ll one up that slightly and go with “Let us never speak of this again.”

I always feel guilty when someone says “You’re welcome” but that’s because my family was shitty and programmed me that way. It was never used the way it was intended in my house. It was always a passive aggressive, indirect way of calling me lazy or ungrateful. Never a sincere “oh you’re welcome!” but something like “I did your laundry. You’re welcome. >:(” 

Like…I didn’t ask you to do that? I was going to do it myself? And had you just said “Oh hey. I know you’ve been really busy with band practice/drama club/choir/etc. so I did your laundry for you.” I would have said thank you. So I sort of default to a cheerful “Dude, don’t even worry about it.”

OH I wonder if that’s what it is? I’m assuming the “you’re welcome” is actually genuine not like a hostile “pfft you’re welcome!” like of course nobody wants that! I feel like people often leave off at thank you so when I get a cheerful “you’re welcome” I feel nice?? But my family wasn’t into hostile “you’re welcomes” lol. But those other replies are just as good.

I think the only bad response to ‘thank you’ is ‘sure’ which isn’t awful but isn’t particularly giving either lol. Like “sure” really means nothing and it could be taken positively or negatively. 

Language is hard.

Let’s just not speak anymore and we can resort to a series of grunts. Language is too hard lmao

i mean we’re almost there: oof pfft oof meh eh gah bleh

i almost never say you’re welcome and i pretty much always say like either no problem or don’t worry about it. i feel like overly formal if i say you’re welcome?? but i vaguely recall that post and they were totally wrong about how you’re welcome is used, yeah

Wow, thinks makes me wonder how people feel when I say "Of course." Maybe I should switch it up and say "Not at all." lol I have this sudden urge to be upper class and old Timey.

in 2014 i was in a really rough place. i visited a friend whose apartment was full of plants and felt at peace for the first time in so long. when i remarked on it, she told me, “being surrounded by living things makes you want to be a living thing, too.” after that i went out and bought my first plant. as time passed and i accumulated more, i discovered it was true–or at least true enough to make a difference. every time i really look at my plants i remember that conversation. every plant strains towards the light, you can see it. every plant tries as hard as it can to live. every plant tries to tell you, in its own way, what it needs. every living thing is programmed as an organism to try to stay alive. including humans, even if it doesn’t always feel like it. my plants remind me of that all the time. a lesson i’m grateful to learn over and over again. grow towards the light. say what you need. choose life. maybe get a plant ❤🌱 [x]

hmmm

hmmm
