the real “problem with political correctness” is not that it’s considered offensive to use slurs, but that there are now many “progressive” environments where saying the right things is more important than doing the right thing. it’s why it’s so easy for abusers to gain traction in leftist circles (they learn the right words quickly and employ them to frame their own behavior as progressive); it’s why so much potential activist energy gets poured into fighting about language; it’s why moderate liberals didn’t believe fer/guson had a problem until the police emails with actual racist language were leaked. (you can do racist things, you just can’t SAY racist things.) i don’t have a neat conclusion here but a related point is that i’m so much happier since i started focusing on like, being a good kind caring person instead of trying to remove the word “crazy” from the vocabulary of everyone in my family

Just saying this is truly one of the best “discourse” posts on this site like……this hits the nail directly on the head re: what is going on with language right now and everyone pushing back in the notes only serves to further prove the point it’s making

More “wtf are humans, please leave the rest of us be” stuff:

Human reactions to fear!

No, I’m not talking about screaming or freezing in one spot and pissing yourself. I’m talking about the weirder, more specific-to-only-humans fear reactions.

Like singing.

Idk how many of you have watched people play horror video games, but a surprising amount of people start narrating what’s going on in a sing-song voice.

Imagine being an alien, walking in a horrific, dark tunnel with these weird gangly creatures, you’re all scared out of your wits and then one of them starts fucking singing.

In a dark cave. While everyone’s terrified.

“ ♫ ~We are all gonna fucking die, this is terrible and I wanna go hooooome~ ♬ ”

No one asked but this is because the vibrations stimulate the vagus nerve (which is closely associated with anxiety) and reduce stress & pain signals ! Also often times stress songs we sing are slow which helps regulate breathing and heart rate in you & your group. Singing and humming especially at certain pitches can even help with physical pain.

Also its a way to get out those scared/stressed feelings without panicking or crying (which would like be pretty bad in any scary situation) and most people have more positive associations with singing (when its not related to performance anxiety) so its comforting in that way as well.

So as hilarious as it is it actually makes loads of sense from an evolutionary perspective but then that also bares the question: did cavemen sing while being attacked by wild beasts? Is this why cats purr? Are cat purrs narrating surrounding activity? Why has no one taken away my phone its 5 am?

[brainflossandmindfrills]

What I got from this post is that human singing is the equivalent of a cat purr.
