Cautiously Optimistic

Howdy. Pop in and say hi! I'm always interested to see if anyone is paying attention. I think I might have actually found my Fenchurch. 52/Male/Northern California. Libertarian. My heart belongs to @cryingout-for-you. Note, in case any of you are actually legit: If you message me with "Hello", "Hey", or any other short, unimaginative greeting, *and* your blog has no bio information and only 2 or 3 posts, I'm going to report you as spam. Because you probably are

Anyway adults saying “I don’t know isn’t an answer” is part of the reason I learned to lie and bluff so well.

[mx-dorkboy]

Really though, what was that about? I don’t know is a valid answer. It communicates very clearly that the child cannot answer your question, and therefore maybe needs more help understanding the question/situation. Why do you try and push them to give an answer they don’t have? That stresses them out and it makes them feel like they’re being punished for not knowing something.

i thought i was the only one with an “i don’t know” problem because my parents made it seem it was the strangest and also most horrible thing in the world. i genuinely didn’t know and they got angry and that only blocked my thoughts more which meant i didn’t know the answer to anything else.

Also “I don’t know” is a commonly used sentence for children with ADHD/Autism. We DON’T know why we can’t do our homework. We DON’T know why we can’t eat certain foods sometimes. We DON’T know why we forgot to do a chore. It’s really distressing when you genuinely don’t know and people think you’re just lying or indifferent

My most millennial opinion is that the art of Rick Rolling is lost. A Rick Roll isn't any time you put Never Gonna Give You Up in someone face. Anyone can do that in the middle of any video. Lazy. There's no art in it. The target that gets rick rolled has to be an active participant by clicking a hyperlink. The game teaches you an important lesson o internet safety: 'before you click a link, look at the url that it's going to direct you to. Do you want to go there? Is the link malicious?'

A true master Rick Roller made people so eager to see something that they would click the link immediately and skip their usual caution.

Every little thing she does is magic

Everything she do just turn me on

Even though my life before was tragic

Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolved to call her up

A thousand times a day

And ask her if she'll marry me

In some old-fashioned way

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am home again

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am whole again

However far away

I will always love you

However long I stay

I will always love you

Whatever words I say

I will always love you

You want me to touch you, darling? Everywhere? My hands all over you, my lips burning you, leaving marks so you remember how I made you feel?
