you get much more out of engaging in discussions (or debates) in good faith. being the devilâs advocate is for people tasteless enough to think being a contrarian is a positive trait

đNGL I love being a contrarian. So, I was stuck, between my impulse to follow a trend and be a contrarian when deciding whether or not to write one of these lists. Itâs enjoyable to be a contrarian. It can bolster your sense of self, lead to intense discussion, and also make you friends.

đi âm sort of anti-cancel culture (not in the obnoxious right wing way, in the âmaybe we should try talking to people first if they arenât acting in bad faithâ way) and at the same time idk i actually donât think everything should be enjoyed without critique. itâs actually not bad to offer legitimate concerns or critiques of things people enjoy if the thing is problematic or harmful. sometimes things other people think are fun or funny are actually kinda mean or fucked up and we donât have to pretend thatâs ok

đyes, many tastes may not necessarily align but we are here to be ourselves in our discussions of recommendations. Have I seen recs I disagree with? Yes, but itâs better to be constructive (bordering on the way a creative writing seminar produced at my most depressed) here than be a total hater against another here. Honesty and reality predicates hating and violence!

đ€being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and itâs actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic youâre passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKERâS DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. đ„ł
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you donât have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIOâs page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. thereâs always more power in a union!! âđ„đč
