I don’t know why this feels like such a hot take on this site (and in general lately tbh) but like.
I just think that if someone seems to be seeking or hoping for praise for doing the right thing, especially if they aren’t used to doing that right thing, you should praise them.
I really do not care if it “should be the bare minimum.” You want more of that good behavior? You gotta use positive reinforcement.
Punishing someone for doing the right thing just because it’s Basic Good Behavior to you (are you even as consistent as you think?) is a sure fire way to get them to do less of that thing.
Stop being so fucking resentful and start letting people know you appreciate their efforts to do good and be better.

the Damar Hamilin situation is horrific for a lot of reasons, obviously, but it still just... i am honestly at a loss for words at how the NFL is&has been handling it.
like, this wasn't a mistake or an accident, this was a function of the game&a clean play. there was no foul, as far as i could tell or have heard. an extremely healthy&well trained young man almost fucking died as a function of the game, &the NFL is not only trying to deny their callousness at the event in general:
they have got whole cardiologists on deck trying to explain what happened like it wasn't a CLEAN HIT THAT STOPPED HIS HEART ON NATIONAL TELEVISION:
[image text: From your perspective, what are the possible causes of Hamlin's cardiac arrest?
Dr. Baggish: There's a long list: there are genetic and congenital abnormalities which could be at play, I know there's been speculation about the blunt force from the tackle, but I would say that it's really premature to make any speculation. In fact, to jump to a conclusion would be a mistake. The diagnosis of commotio cordis, for example [which refers to a fatal disruption of the heart rhythm from a blow to the chest], is what we call a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning other things have been eliminated. We would never conclude that unless other factors have been ruled out. /text]
this shit is fucking evil.

Playing Blasphemous and I *still* haven’t gotten past Our Lady of The Charred Visage. It’s been like a week of me fighting this bitch, losing multiple times, having to take anti-rage-quit breaks, coming back the next day, AND LOSING AGAIN. AND AGAIN.
