Kid should be called Maze, short for Mazikeen, from the hit Fox/Netflix series Lucifer, returning for the second half of season 5 this Friday, May 28! edit: a short story of a brain broken man, found from the search term "Devil" My husband always plays Devil's Advocate and it's exhausting quote:My husband is a self-proclaimed skeptic and Devil's Advocate. It didn't bother me for many years, because I wasn't usually the target. That has changed though, especially the last 6 months since we've both been working from home and together constantly. I've always known he doesn't like it when I complain or make negative comments. I've done a pretty good job at biting my tongue from saying how annoyed I am by a coworker, blah blah, because it won't be received well. I think it's because he can't fix the situation, and doesn't want to be my sounding board. oh jay fucked around with this message at 19:29 on May 23, 2021 |

There's a certain type of person (usually a man, for obvious reasons) that thinks laying down the 'sensitive' and 'emotional' cards will automatically invalidate a counter-argument. I never really understood why. Everybody has emotions? Just because somebody has an emotional investment in their position doesn't mean they can't argue from it. I've also noticed that these people are often the first to make the argument entirely about Their Hurt Feelings if the other person happens to raise their voice even slightly. quote:If I bring it up, he's automatically defensive and thinks I'm attacking him. lmbo

Fruits of the sea posted:Seems like a pretty normal dynamic? The 15 year-old is at the age where they want their own thing and the 12 year-old looks up to their big sister and wants to be included. My two kids are 7 and 5 and love each other, will take naps together and even sleep together if one is scared and they play really well together even by themselves when my partner and I are doing our own thing. I am pretty positive it’s always going to be like this and I will never have to readjust to any other kind of formative dynamic between them.

When you spend your entire life being bombarded with the position that showing emotions is unmanly, it often becomes ingrained that having emotions is equally unmanly. So you pretend to yourself that you don't have them, and reject them as a weakness in others. It is a central aspect of toxic masculinity.

Recreational GHB induces euphoria at desired dosages and is apparently a great time apart from the fact that if you get the dosage wrong you wake up 24 hours later in ER and as soon as you suggest it at a party everyone assumes you're a rapist.

Maize is fine being both a plant and color as a name. There’s plenty of other names that fall into that combined category.

I was given a little thing of GHB by some guys I shared weed with when I was on a road trip once, I took it when I got back to my hotel and it was actually really enjoyable. It definitely made me wonder what two middle aged pool salesmen in this random town for a pool conference were doing with a bunch of the stuff though.

Literally the best thing you can do with contrarians / skeptics / devil's advocates is to excise them from your life. I knew one once and no matter what the topic of discussion was, they insisted on digging into everything, like down to "can you really be sure that the M.D. on that byline is actually a medical doctor? how do you know his bona fides? do you really trust the publication to verify his credentials?" blah blah blah. I eventually just stopped talking to him. Like a healthy bit of skepticism, I get, and understand. But the pathological need to argue with people is just tedious and boring. Those kinds of people have nothing of value to say, and do nothing to enrich your life. The sooner you remove them from it, the happier you will be.

GHB was pretty common recreationally in the gayer social circles when I was younger. Whippets were also common. What I never saw was cocaine, oddly enough, since thats the go to for my current age group apparently.

Fruits of the sea posted:Noted. Uhh, yeah if we are in the "rent a bouncy castle" bracket then the parents are being dicks about it. I work with a guy whose side gig is renting those out for parties and such and his rates are something like $80 for 24 hours. It's a luxury, yeah, but not a ludicrous one, and it's cheaper than something like a movie and dinner for a family of four.

It's always the same sort of dude who will get super pumped about the latest hyperloop marketing stunt or techbro scam and eat up all the marketing, but then you mention something like systemic racism existing and they interrogate you for half an hour demanding studies and then nitpicking those studies then questioning the motives of the people who collected the data for those studies and ending with "well I'm just a very skeptical and scientific person, I don't just trust what ever I read like you"

I feel like arguments about the parents' hypothetical financial bracket are moot when they turned her down requesting a simple sleepover with her friends separate from the party but would've allowed it on the same night as her sister's friends sleeping over. That's clearly not about money at all, it's entirely about trying to get the older sister to babysit the younger one and include her in every aspect of her life, then getting pissed off that the older sister is refusing to play ball. I'm going to read between the lines here a little: the 15 year old says the 12 year old insists on the 15 year old "playing with her or bouncing her in the bounce house". This is almost a 13 year old girl. I don't know about y'all, but I was a little old for bounce houses at that age (definitely too old to ask a sibling to bounce me?!) and was definitely independent enough to not be upset about mild disappointments like "sorry turns out the party is not as planned and your older sister would prefer a separate party". But the parents are leaning hard on the older sibling to go along with it so they don't have to disappoint the younger one or negotiate with her... I'm getting the sense the younger kid is kind of spoiled/immature, expects attention to be on her, and throws tantrums when she doesn't get her way - and the parents don't want to deal with defusing that, so it's easier to shunt responsibility onto the other kid to take the brunt of it.

the pro move would be to convince the younger sister golden child that she is being shortchanged, and get her to agitate for a separate party all for herself

There is nothing wrong with skepticism or playing devil's advocate in general, so long as you have a sense of when it is appropriate to do so. Which requires only the basest degree of social grace.

I never really understood why. Everybody has emotions? Just because somebody has an emotional investment in their position doesn't mean they can't argue from it. If you're trying to make a prescriptive claim, you really should be able to argue any position from a non-emotional perspective, using data to trace a logical path to substantiate your claim. But you shouldn't need to do that every time you have a discussion about loving anything with your significant other. Jeeesus that's gotta be exhausting. Debatebro relationship sounds like a lovely time.
