There’s a quote from mark Twain, “it is better to be thought a fool, than to make remark and remove all doubt“. I thought of this quote yesterday, and it made me feel better about being a quiet person who sometimes doesn’t add much to conversations. Thought about posting that thought on this app, and decided not to.
Looked up the quote today and 1. I was quoting it wrong and 2. It wasn’t even Twain, it was Lincoln who (supposedly) said it… So I remained silent and didn’t make several foolish errors. Nice!

several times as I've scrolled through the latest Asks I've wanted to post a clever little comment
But then I remember: PI.FYI is Pro Sincerity
And my comment would have been clever and little — but mostly little, as in small-minded and small-hearted
Much happier to have said nothing
...I suppose this rec has application everywhere too

In this doggy dog world— anyone can find out how to say something right judt by going to the liberry. I’m not going to say anything jurassic, instead I’ll be pacific. The joy of saying something completely wrong and watching the other guy twitch and squirm, trying not to correct you— trying to be abiding and calm. Accepting of a trespass that he cannot correct for fear of being condescending, of appearing holier than. You think you’re better than me? You have no idea how much better than me you are. If you had the balls, you’d punch me square on the forehead and leave the imprint of your knuckles red between my eyes. after what I’ve said so flagrantly, so carelessly. But you won’t. You’ll just sit there and suffer, won’t you?The elation of intentionally playing the fool. This is a joy that I try not to take fo granite

anytime i say something a bit stupid and someone goes "what was that eilidh, come again?" and i don't want to repeat it because i have now heard it out loud and don't care for the sentence, i simply say "sorry that was an inside thought that managed to escape don't you worry"
works a charm

I’m on this app to post shamelessly when i’d feel self-conscious or attention seeking to post elsewhere. This is a vacation into anonymous internet in a positive way, for me
