it is genuinely bewildering to me that adult human beings do not know this but if you are mean to people they will not like you. like tbh they are probably also not going to like you if you are mean to other people but they are definitely not going to like you if you are mean to them. it doesn’t matter if you are funny or if you can use r/aita rules to prove that you are in the right. people simply do not enjoy being treated like shit.

do you ever start writing a comment on the internet and then think “oh what the fuck am i going on about” and delete it
I also enjoy writing an entire paragraph, thinking “you know, I don’t actually need to be involved in this conversation,” and deleting it

Collective psychosis. Full cultural reset. Everybody is coming to the cottage I guess.

Sucks how many people were taught that “horses put their ears back when they’re mad” but then never taught the difference between “angry backwards ears,” “mildly annoyed backwards ears,” “pain backwards ears,” “concentrated backwards ears,” “sleepy backwards ears” and “just happens to be listening to something behind it.”
“Horses put their ears back when they’re mad” idk man i think it depends
These are all completely different expressions in completely different scenarios, and only two of them are decidedly negative.
Actually, I wanna talk about the third horse, the one putting its ears back in pain. Over the last 15 years veterinarians and animal scientists have worked out pain scales for most domestic animals by taking photos of the during routine procedures.
We know vaccines painful, and by comparing horses at rest with horses getting vaccinated, we’ve been able to determine how they express pain visually. By looking at horses with disorders like colic, broken bones, wounds, and so on, we can determine their facial expressions during more severe pain.
At zookeeper school we were drilled through the pain faces of the most common lab animals and livestock. Nowadays I believe this has become a routine lesson in all animal related fields, but the general public still doesn’t know that this is a thing that exists.
Here are all the pain face/grimace scales I’ve been able to find. Please study them if you interact with any of these animals on a regular basis:

Have you ever been washed over by a wave of overwhelming, ambiguous yearning? A thirst and longing for something you can’t identify? An urge for something, deeply, desperately, and yet no matter how hard you try to think, you just don’t know what?
I just got hit by the opposite of that. A deep and sudden Do Not Want. I don’t know what it is that I don’t want, I just don’t. I simply don’t want to. The opposite of longing or yearning. Shorting. Wantn’t. Yearn’t. Whatever it is, I don’t want it.

every time I think about Dilbert I think about this comic and how the question being asked is Not Stupid and its answer is genuinely interesting and arguably very important information anyone using a computer should know
Given how much of a colossal asshat the creator of Dilbert has become or perhaps is always been but didn’t show his ass completely until we were all on social media, I approve of rewriting Dilbert panels to be both kinder and sexier!
