WTF? XDDD
Whenever I walk as Jhin in game #swag #Jhin
The Good Place really said “People improve when they get external love and support. How can we hold it against them, when they don’t?” and "We choose to be good because of our bonds with other people" and "What matters isn’t if people are good or bad. What matters is if they’re trying to be better today than they were yesterday" and "If soulmates do exist, they aren't found, they're made" and "That knowledge [that life ends] is what gives life meaning" and "The answer is friends" and "That’s what the Good Place really is — it’s not even a place, really. It’s just having enough time with the people you love" and I think that's very sexy of them
When someone says something manipulative or passive aggressive to you thinking you won’t catch on to their little game but you fucking do.
lotta people I know, especially neurodivergent ppl with special interests, express fear that they're a "know it all" or a "snob."
If that sounds like you, allow me to clear things up for ya:
A know-it-all loves making others feel inferior with their knowledge. They worked hard to learn something, and now they find great joy in holding it over others' heads.
To a know-it-all, there is no greater pleasure than realizing someone else doesn't know something, and subsequently humiliating that person for their ignorance on a topic.
Snobs and know-it-alls live for that "gotcha" moment, when they get to embarrass a person and lord their knowledge over someone, making them feel worthless for even daring to speak about something they don't know much about.
Whereas someone who just knows a lot revels in getting to share their knowledge with others. The infodump is not to brag, taunt, or embarrass. In fact, just the opposite, we info dump with the goal to engage others in something we love.
When we correct someone, it's because the information we have is important to us, and we want the facts known by everyone possible. Our goal is never to humiliate.
Above all, a know-it-all and a snob will never admit when they are wrong. They will double down and rage against the notion that someone else might know more than they do about a topic.
Someone who admits they are mistaken, that they don't have all the facts, even if it takes them a day to come back embarrassed and say "you know what, yesterday you were right, and I wasn't,"
Can never be a know-it-all or a snob.
Keep learning, keep teaching, keep sharing.
If you spread what you know with honest joy, passion, and the understanding that other people have something valuable to add, you cannot be and are not a snob, and the world is better for your passion!
They came from somewhere beyond Pluto.
They had many questions.
“You affix metal and wires to your teeth…use needles to inject portraits into your skin…stab your flesh with shards of metal…remove your hair with lasers…cut patterns into your faces…burn yourselves…remove fat and break your noses and inject diseases into yourselves willingly. Why?”
And we answered “For beauty.”
Fireworks confused them. “These horrible explosions, with their colors and patterns? Is this an act of war, or is it in worship of some god?”
We answered, “No. It is in celebration.”
Explaining vaccines was difficult. “You give yourself disease on purpose? You force it into your blood with needles? Why?”
We answered, “To teach our bodies to resist it.”
They felt awe at our true wars. At our missiles that harnessed the power found in stars, at our weapons that spread poison and disease, at our flying machines that destroyed thousands while we flew them from continents away. They asked, “For what reasons do you go to war?”
We answered, “To gain money and resources, to exact revenge, to impose and uphold faith and ideology, and, now and then, on our best days, to answer a cry for help.”
They asked us, “The moon is barren, and yet you went. Mount Everest is a deadly place, and yet you go. The ocean is vast and frightful and travel to its depths is near impossible, and yet you are trying to dive. Why?”
We answered, “To show that we could, to show that we can, to show that we will.”
They asked, “Why?”
We answered, “Because how dare there be questions unanswered, realms unexplored, lands unconquered. How dare this reality not fall under our command. We will rule this universe or we will die trying.”
They didn’t come back, and no others dare visit.
That’s alright.
We’ll find them.
As they said... why is it not surprising to see you in the chocolate section?
Question is why you look so bored then?
Come on Tom! Look for the french Ferrero rocher you love so much!
Tom Hiddleston in Iceland today!
He’s in the chocolates section, predictable.
