this is from a "manipulation advice" video and it's just so fucking funny to me. why didn't I think of responding to insults like this

[magnoliabloomfield]

I can’t remember where I got the information now, but apparently if you stare silently for at least 4 seconds it triggers a feeling of rejection which I don’t have to tell you is uncomfortable and makes most people backpedal pretty quickly and awkwardly.

Immediately going concerned/extremely polite always throws people off their game, it's beautiful.

The Quiet Stare Of Disappointment is also super effective, indeed .

[live-long-and-suck-it]

My sister and I were walking across a car park.

Random bloke: Maybe if you walked more you wouldn’t be so fat

My sister stops dead, stares him in the eye and goes: Is everything alright at home?

I’ve never seen a man’s face turn to horror so fast

We just walked to her car and drove off

[icemankazansky]

The silent stare is so effective. I learned about it in social psychology in undergrad, and have often used it to great effect. Probably the best example is when I went to sign the papers on the car I was buying—I had already worked out a price and my trade-in with the salesmen the day before—and they decided they were going to take $1000 off the value of my trade-in. (I want to emphasize that I was buying a 10+ year old car; I ended up paying $8k total.)

"No," I said. "That doesn't work for me. If you're unwilling to honor the deal we made, I'm not buying a car from you."

Well, they talk for a living. So they talked. Here I am, a young woman on my own, and these two men at the dealership are giving me all the reasons they couldn't possibly honor the deal we made yesterday.

So I sat. I didn't say a word. I just stared at them.

They kept talking, trying to get a reaction out of me. After about 10 seconds, they abandoned all pretense of logical arguments and started hammering pathos. They weren't even buying my old car from me for the dealership; it was a personal favor for which they were using their own hard-earned money to help this poor guy at church who just got out of rehab and his house burned down and his children exploded and his dog left him for another man, etc etc

I didn't say a word. I just stared at them.

They began falling apart. They continued trying to hustle me, but their confidence left them. I think they might have been sweating.

Within five minutes they caved and signed the papers for our original deal.

I have been told for years I am intimidating, and by people who had never even seen me angry. Just in general, intimidating. This absolutely baffled me until a friend one day pointed at me and said — “This! Right now! You’re being intimidating!”

Friends, I was staring silently at someone while inwardly flailing desperately to come up with a response to something they’d said that wasn’t overly rude but also was holding my ground. In my mind, I was being hellishly awkward. I couldn’t summon any charm, I couldn’t figure out a sentence to string together. Silence spooled out horrifyingly between us as I got farther and farther away from being articulate and became more and more flustered by this failure to respond. From the outside, I guess, I just looked like a stone cold bitch waiting for them to get their shit together, lol.

I still don’t think I’m intimidating but you know I’ll take it.

[lifryxai]

a huge part of appearing intimidating is simply being obviously willing to no bluff just walk away

conveying wordlessly their unimportance

Also responsible for the Roosterteeth shut down, removing several shows from streaming to avoid paying residuals, as well as the scrapped Batgirl and Wile E Coyote vs Acme movies after completion as a tax write off. That’s just what I can think of without googling

He's also the reason that the entire company is now under investigation by the Department of Justice:

“We respectfully urge the Justice Department to investigate the state of competition in affected labor and consumer markets following consummation of this merger, which appears to have enabled Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) to adopt potentially anticompetitive practices that reduce consumer choice and harm workers in affected labor markets.” (x)

So far, two directors have resigned because of this probe, and only a few days after they went, Kevin Trehy - head of physical production - left the company too after 21 years. He was meant to be spearheading the London-based studio for the company.

The problem is, four companies own the entirety of the US movie and television industry and all of them are headed by people just like Zaslav. The only way to stop these things is for those four companies to utterly fail or for the government to start enforcing the antitrust laws again.

Here's a fantastic article that goes into great detail about it all.

shorthands for dumbassery that i have grown to love deeply

"how dare you say we piss on the poor" in response to someone misinterpreting your post

"_ isnt gonna fuck you" for suck up behavior

"woah. should we tell everyone? should we throw a party?" for who the fuck cares

"and what if the world was made of pudding" for when would this ever matter.

"and sharks are smooth both ways" for a group of people heatedly arguing with 1 guy who is fucking with them all

".. but its about a witch in the alps finding her lost cat" for someone trying to sanitize something to the point of absurdity

[queer-here-and-in-fear]

this is prime proof that this ENTIRE WEBSITE is autistic because nowhere else would a no tags post that's just an informative list about slang get this much traction.

i come back on here and see how i talked about you, I read the notes I meant to give you, the posts I wrote about you...oh how I talked about you. I still wonder where I went wrong. where did I go so wrong that you had to cheat? where did I go so wrong that you had to lie? I always said you were helping me learn, helping me grow. and you certainly did through this- I no longer stand for what’s sketchy, I no longer am walked all over, I have an attitude, an edge, but I am just as soft as when I was yours, and you never liked that. but one day, oh one day you’ll look back and wish you hadn’t disappointed the one person willing to wait through so many months of no contact, to go through your ups and downs, to forgive you through the first time and to take you back, forgive you, and love you just as fully. but at that time I’ll no longer be yours- you will not have me not as a friend, not as anything. I am mine forever, and I’ve decided for myself you will never be allowed to have any part of me.

[celestialcoppice]

you’ve been gone one whole week. it’s been a lot of ups and downs. I miss you a whole hell of a lot, but I’m so proud of you. I do miss hearing your voice, kissing you, sleeping next to you...everything. I’m counting down days for May to come.

[celestialcoppice]

you always do the most you can, and you make sure I am okay, and my progress is recognized, and that I know I am loved, and I know I recognize the work you put into this and that even though you work long days you stay awake as long as you can to talk on the phone, and I know you’re doing your best to get in as much time before you leave for months or a year

A group of rough looking boys walked past me today and all I heard of their conversation was “he’s got that anxiety disorder bro so I went with him so he’d be more comfortable” and it made me realise the world isn’t all that bad

The pet store I worked at had a pen with rabbits near the front door. On every side of the pen were huge signs saying “You can pet me, but don’t pick me up!” One day two absolutely huge guys came in and one immediately reaches into the pen to grab a rabbit. Before i could say anything his friend grabbed his arm and asked him “did you see the sign?” He said “yeah! it says that you can pick them up but don’t pet them!” Then he went quiet for a moment and softly said “I didn’t read it right did I?” And his friend just puts his arm on his shoulder and said “its ok, i know you’ve got that thing where words get mixed up. Let just pet these cute lil shits” And I still haven’t gotten over that interaction.

I was walking my dog through Boston bc he likes the likes car rides. He’s a little thing tbh we call him short and long. So this huge scary man with a full beard approaches me like “hey can my buddy and I pet your dog? He gets nervous around dogs but your’s is so small I think it’s a good place to start.” Ofc I was like “yes he’s very friendly!” So this guy brings his equally big friend over and they sit on the floor while this man looks terrified of my tiny dog so big man number one asks “can I pick him up?” And i say yes so he picks him up and puts him on man number two’s lap and man number two is abt to freak out and his friend straight up just goes “hey man, it’s okay just relax I’d never let anything hurt you. He’s a good boy.” I’ll never forget it ever bc I know that man looked at me (5'3 , glasses, probably wearing a sweater vest) and my dog (kinda goofy looking little thing) and was like ‘ah yes the two least intimidating living things I’ve seen in Boston all day he’ll feel relaxed around them’ and went out of his way to help his friend. It makes me so happy

can I have these posted right under the politics section in the newspaper? I feel like we need that kinda positivity rn.

[celestialcoppice]

we don’t get a lot of time together, but the fact that you’re willing to come stand in the cold on a bridge with me after you’ve been working and doing what you have to to prepare for March means more to me than anything

Viola Davis, one of the most incredible and amazing actresses of our time blew our minds away with her acceptance speech at Critics’ Choice Awards. She won Best Supporting Actress for The Fences and by this speech she showed us, why she was the one to win it. 

She’s brilliant, she’s stunning and she deserves it. 

“Privilege of a lifetime is being who you are,” she said, stating that there is nothing better than staying true to yourself. No matter what you do, no matter how you try to behave to impress people, you will only succeed if you are being you. I’m so proud of her.
