I saw a slightly obnoxious post like 'wow you realize it DOES make you feel better when you read more books and do x and y and z' and had my typical instantly contrarian thought of 'well sometimes....but some books this year I read pissed me the fuck off' but readings those books enhanced my enjoyment of the books I actually like so in a roundabout way I guess it was true..

#as much as the instant urge to find fault and nitpick in general leads to extremely annoying peoppe in the notes #being shitty to users for not thinking of every individual thing #I'm never going to stop actively thinking abt the stuff I read on here. bc it's never a bad thing to critically examine shit....#I'm not willing to just swallow feel-good posts and all. I think discussing and breaking down concepts presented is really valuable #it does go way too far very often esp when op gets harassed for making personal posts or when ppl don't understand what they read #or when they make up things to get mad at or overblow smt for the sake of arguing #but in a lot of cases it's fun and I like it. I even like the screenshotting and drowning trend #sometimes you don't need to involve op at all you just want to discuss their ideas #and you should be able to refute smt on a socmed site without getting into an interpersonal debate w the op #obviously context matters...I'm not talking abt a callout that could have been a private convo or a vent or w/e #and yes in MANY cases personal beef and an inflated sense of unnecessary rage make things extremely overblown #and contribute to harassment campaigns and social ostracization #but I'm not talking abt that I'm just saying I love disagreeing w posts I see bc I get to exercise my critical thinking and all.#which if you follow me. you know this #and I'm not immune to not thinking through smt before reblogging it either #it's um. confirmation bias. I am not immune either!#cor.txt
