At the same time, strong-manning a ridiculous opinion (like drunk driving is good) is a good way to show how ridiculous the typical rationalizations are.

See, I also agree that some people are worthless human trash, but there needs to be a healthier way for us to frame this for ourselves right?

Just like a tree produces an imperfect and sour fruit on occasion, nature sometimes births people who do not fit into the cultural tapestry of our world. Maybe the tree lacked sunlight, or the soil lacked nutrients, or maybe just unlucky genetics. Maybe the kid lacked loving parents, or grew up in a war zone, or maybe just unlucky genetics.

Either way, I don’t hate the fruit. I just try to avoid them and toss them to the side when I accidentally bite into one.

HOLD ON WHAT

Yeah this is something I’ve been trying to walk the talk about.

I joined an adults sports league and have a few friends I call almost daily on rotation (whether they want it or not lol) and I’ve started feeling a lot more fulfilled and less anxious.

Most of those friends expect my calls now, and I get questioned if I can’t make it to a practice or game. It feels good to have your presence desired, whether it’s in a romantic or platonic relationship. There’s an epidemic of men who think that that void can only be filled with a lover.

I know I am but what are you?

When I was a server, I only used Number 3, but it has to be the 0.5 size. 0.7 still smears too much.
