One thing you notice when you read pretty much anything written more than 100 years ago is just how impoverished and bland and limited our language has become. People spoke and wrote in a kind of effortlessly rich and descriptive way that almost no one does today. On this site a lot of people write almost exclusively in cliches and internet lingo. A lot of people speak like that too. The language contracts, our conversational vocabulary shrinks more and more over time. And the more limited we become in our language, the more limited we are in our thinking.

People pleasing isn’t kindness. When we smile & nod just to avoid conflict, we often end up passive-aggressive later — icy distance, little digs, quiet resentment. Direct disagreement is healthier than fake harmony. I break this down on The Secrets of Being with @DesireToInspir7. 📘 Can I Say That?

@StefanMolyneux Working on it, will be graduating with my counseling masters soon The ideological capture of the field is no secret but it's been very frustrating from the inside

In psychology programs, only 10-25% of students are men - one man for every 4 to 9 women! MEN NEED MALE THERAPISTS! Why are men so excluded from psychology? What are regulatory boards doing to address this horrendous sexism?

This is a perfect example of how the media deceives you. Always be skeptical of edited clips. Context is everything.

@DrChloe_ @lisawexler Thanks for your work, just ordered a copy of your book My counseling grad program has been a big echo-chamber for the most part and I've caused a few contentious situations by speaking up So I'm looking forward to reading and hopefully I can refine my own skills a bit more

Cancel culture doesn’t make us more compassionate—it makes us more cautious. Great conversation on The Lisa Wexler Show with @lisawexler about why discouraging disagreement harms mental health & human connection. 📘 Can I Say That?

@RueDayton @TheRoyalSerf I knew Dennis would be in this thread lol

@Grummz Destroying every cultural touchstone is the point Viewership numbers, renewals, etc are irrelevant because they already suceeded

How it started, vs how it’s going. Literally posted 3 days apart day apart by CBR. The narrative has never been hit so hard and so fast on Starfleet Academy.

@JoeCarlasare Context matters with platitudes like this If hordes are circling your city, maybe you should be angry or afraid If the winter is approaching, maybe you should store food instead of nature gazing

@Grummz Reject modernity, embrace tradition

Please stop, you're breaking my heart.

@Rothmus Something like the Jungian shadow/anti-hero archetype has been emerging in the collective consciousness for years, but the tension is impossible to ignore now

@kenzietuff It's great. I've been checking out her recommended reading lists too

This is legitimately such a good YouTube channel.

@Fenrirtheicewo1 The British Government seeing this:

This is an actual chart designed by a Multnomah county commissioner trying to explain the Homeless approach of Portland, Oregon.

Why does every town in America need 30 smoke/vape shops and rundown gas stations?

Little Joey still looking for daycare in Minnesota.

@darylandfilms Possibly the best movie of all time in my opinion Three years in a row now I've attended a theater screening around Christmas, gets me every time 😭

i think my new favourite thing is making people i love watch "it's a wonderful life" and have them realise in real time that old movies are actually kinda incredible

@MemoriesOfGreen @TheTrueVanguard Will always drop a like for wc2 and 3

@TheTrueVanguard I was enjoying Warcraft 1 & 2 on PC in the 90s before the rise of the console wars before World of Warcraft hit. Never played WoW though 🤷...

Prove to me you’re an old gamer in one sentence. I’ll drop a like if I’m convinced.
