Hello my lovely human friends. I like those shoes.

“Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.”

The Chill The Fuck Out Message of the Day: GET THE FUCK OUT!

Not as in, “Fuck you. I’m tired of your shit. Leave.”, but rather, “I need to step away from the computer and just ignore the internet for a while before I make myself look dumb.” Arguments over the internet result in nothing but ample amounts of butthurt and pointless, unquellable rage. Debates are one thing as long as the involved parties can refrain from using profane vernacular and stay away from any adhominem or straw-man tactics… or any direct attacks on either debating party.

However, those debates are rare and, more importantly, are impossible to maintain if one person loses their shit when they cannot admit defeat due to lack of a substantial rebuttal. I wish there were more civilized debates on the internet… but there are so few… there are so many people who just fly off the handle and start flinging insults in an attempt to diminish their opponents point, when in actuality it just serves to make them look like an uncivilized fuckwit. It’s the ever enticing notion of damn near complete anonymity on the internet that allows people to vent out these frustrations and completely lash out at those they would otherwise not have the gumption to approach and insult or criticize. Moreover, it’s the lack of backlash that makes it so easy for people to just blindly throw their opinions and criticisms, if not just complete, unbased slander, at the target of their choice. Most of these types of arguments that are spurred from these incidents result in things like the thread flame-wars of old.

But what does any of this have to do with today’s message? Well, that’s where it comes in: If anyone in a discussion on the internet tries to get a rise out of you by insulting you, STOP. DO NOT RESPOND YET. Calm down a little and refrain from acting on an emotional impulse. Take a closer look at what they’re saying. 1) Are they providing a well founded argument? 2) Have they supported said argument with cohesive evidence? 3)Are they continually substantiating said argument in light of rebuttals that would otherwise disprove or challenge a remark or claim they have made? The answer to this, more often than not anyways, is no. No, they have not. All they are doing is lashing out to get a reaction from you. They’re trying to perpetuate their own rage by getting under your skin. If you are having a civil debate on whatever matter you’re currently discussing, then good for you!

But if said person you are debating with starts getting under your skin by making crude remarks about the way you conduct yourself or they start blindly tossing in personal insults to try and rile you up or what have, DON’T TAKE THE BAIT. Chill for a second and take a closer look. You’ll realize they already lost at that point; The point when they felt the need to insult you. They are no longer in it for debating to prove a point, they are baiting you to try and make you look stupid so they can use that as evidence to disprove or discredit your point.

Don’t give in to their nonsense. Take a break and GET OUT of the conversation for a bit. If it’s on a chatroom, stop. If they start jeering at you that you are taking too long to respond, ignore them or close the window for a bit. ANYTHING to clear your head from the insult to you. When you return, analyze their argument / statement again. If they’ve still done absolutely NOTHING within this statement to rebute your claim and further support their’s and have instead just insulted you to try and distract you from the point, then you’ve nothing left to say on the matter. Rise above the mindless hate and respond with something such as:

“Now that you have abandoned the original argument, I really like this bottle of Cabernet Sauvingon wine. Have you ever tried it?”

If they continue attacking, just be super chilled with your newly found glass of Cabernet and realize that they wouldn’t be so aggro toward you if they were in the right. You’ve more than proven that the argument is in your hands and that you have nothing left to prove. They showed their hand the moment they started mud-slinging. If they want to try and persue a lost battle, let them. They’ll only serve to make themselves look worse.

Additionally: Refrain from calling people stupid or calling the ideas they’re arguing for stupid or using inflammatory language like that unless you are among friends who you know are super chilled out and will look past it. This type of rebuttal or opening remark is weak and will only serve to make your argument look flimsy… That and you’ll just look like a Douchey McDoucherbagon.

So tl;dr Chill The Fuck Out Message Of The Day: GET THE FUCK OUT AND CHILL THE FUCK OUT.

My purpose for this blog

Fri, 08 Jun 2012 18:35:00 -0700

While I was making this Tumblr I wanted it to make this space for myself when I had shitty days and just felt like offing myself. But I just realize during that time that there are people out that feel the same way I do when I have those days. So I really want to help out those who just want to be loved for they are and not feel so shitty about themselves. If you feel like you need to talk to someone just message me I’ll do my best to help anyone out.
