My cat is the same! Falls constantly, can’t retract his claws so he gets stuck in things…I seriously think he’s a cursed human because he doesn’t even meow, just makes raptor screaming noises
lol. I would put money on that one. Definitely a cursed human.
@rosemoonweaver graceless. Disaster. Animal. Omg
lol. He is though! He’s fallen off the couch more times than I can count. He’s a train wreck.

I just generally can’t stand it when people refuse to admit that they understand you point of view. Like. It doesn’t mean you agree, it just means I’ve stated my case deftly. I don’t even need people to agree with me. Unless its social justice or humanitarian issues, but I’ve learned to just tap out if the person is clearly just gonna be gross about it.
Oh totally! There’s nothing more irritating that someone who doesn’t know how to concede a point. Seriously, how hard is it to say “I see where you’re coming from and I understand, I just don’t agree”? It doesn’t mean that you’re admitting defeat or anything like that, just that you get it. But of course there are folks who would prefer to move the goal posts instead when they know you’ve got them.
And ditto on the social justice and humanitarian issues. Sometimes it can be useful to challenge people but there’s no point in wasting breath and time when you know you’re not gonna change their minds.
Like, there’s a huge difference between debating things like tv shows or movies or whatever and having discussions about social justice. Like, when it comes to human rights there really is no debate, just realities that people don’t want to face. Like, it’s one thing to debate the ways to lessen police brutality, for example, but it’s a whole different thing to have to convince a person that police brutality is even an issue in the first place when they don’t want to even admit that it exists.
Oh haha, I read that wroooong lmao! But yeah, I enjoy debate and differing opinions until I feel like people are getting combative. Then I lose all sense of rhetoric and just wanna sock them.
lol. No worries.
I’ve only ever seriously wanted to punch someone during a debate like once. I used to do speech and debate and model UN and stuff like that back in high school (like 6 years ago, holy crap) and there was always this one dude who went to a private school and was in literally everything but he was such a smug asshole. He wasn’t even a nice dude outside of the debate rooms, he was just a jackass.
But yeah if it’s getting too heated there’s a point where everyone should just step back and let it go. Once you cross that line into actually getting pissed off instead of just getting excited and wanting to win there’s no point in continuing.

1. Your job is WHAT NOW!? I’m so jealous. 2. Your comment about Uranus. YASSS. 3. Fight me anytime. I love heated (respectful) debate, and I’ll even just play devil’s advocate for you too.
Oh man, I wish it was my real job. It’s just a dream job right now. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to actually make it a reality but I would love to be a professor of pop culture studies specializing in online fan communities and the expression of gender and sexuality therein. That would be a freaking dream come true. For now I’ll just continue to make observations, though.
lol. Uranus is the best planet. Everyone things it’s the name but nope. It’s just a cool planet!
Good to know! I’ll hit you up the next time I’m feeling argumentative. I love it when people actually enjoy the debate, you know? Like, as long as it’s respectful and everyone is being calm and reasonable it can be a lot of fun. 🙂
