#pointless arguments

since no reasoning he could apply to Rosamond seemed likely to conquer her assent, he wanted to smash and grind some object on which he could at least produce an impression - Middlemarch, George Eliot

Sometimes I think back to the things Keith and I would argue about before we got together. It’d be the dumbest thing ever.

First it’s “I’m a better pilot than you!”

To, “IT WASN’T MY TURN TO FEED KALTENECKER!”

I hate arguments between people who say that mental illnesses have systemic causes and ones who say they'd still exist even in a utopia. Yes! Both of these things can be correct!

On one hand, there's more than one kind of mental illness. Autism will continue to exist at basically the same rate no matter what we do, but anxiety rates fluctuate as we get more or fewer things to be anxious about. Both of these fall under the banner of Mental Health.

On the other hand, individual mental illnesses can have multiple causes. Some people are depressed for purely environmental reasons; some people's brains just don't make brain juice right; most have a little of both.

So yes, loads of people having the same mental problems can be a sign of how our society is failing, and also mental illness is a fact of life our society needs to accommodate. Both of these statements are true, but neither is accurate without the other. Making systemic changes that pretend we can solve all mental illness is A Problem, but so is trying to make the world a better place for neurodivergent people without considering those systemic conditions.

It's like the old "Why do you hate waffles??" meme, except if pancakes and waffles were incomplete without each other, and also lives hang in the balance.

"   Okay, okay, OKAY! LISTEN! I’m just saying if I had to choose .. I’m sorry, you’re gonna have to fall off the cliff. I’m saving the alien. An alien doesn’t have earthly survival skills. They’ll perish; become a pool of bleugh! You can survive! What’s not to understand? I believe in you. This is a compliment! Can’t you like .. y’know make a javelin from the rocks that break your fall?   ”

Pointless Expectations

Everything in prettier under the moonlight, don't you think?

Even if you miss it with a small blink.

The night hides the imperfections,

Such as pointless expectations,

From pointless people you know.

They don't know what they talk about,

They'd even be mad if you turned in a roundabout.

People like to judge,

And turn your brain into ink smudge.

But they don't know the real you,

They see extraordinary beings like a zoo,

To stare,

And laugh at it.

Inknow you posted this a while ago but i would love to get into a pointless argument once im back from the shops

FUCK YEAH. DOES PINEAPPLE BELONG ON PIZZAS, IF SO, IN WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES????

If pepe is a hate symbol because a racist can make a pepe comic, then rhyming is sexual because people can make limericks about dicks and therefore Mother Goose is the raunchiest literature available.

The mushroom theory of environmental management

The mushroom theory of environmental management

I saw a rather ‘academic’ definition of mushroom management. “Mushroom management, also known as pseudo-analysis or blind development, is the management of a company where the communication channels between the managers and the employees do not work traditionally.” Actually it was defined to me by an employee as ‘we’re kept in the dark and fed bullsh*t.’ Now we have the mushroom theory of…
