To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

Work Friend: I finished OFMD this weekend.

Me: *reaching out to cup her hand in mine* …and?

WF: I loved it! I want to watch it again!

Me: Watch it. Watch it again. Watch it a million times. Let the pirate brain rot consume you. Join me in this madness.

Daily bunny no.3101 flying by night

A bunny catches a flight by holding both legs of a bat, who is flying across a starry night sky. Another bat follows closely behind them, and they are currently going over a small body of water.

an ofmd deleted scene

a three-panel photo edit of screenshots from Our Flag Means Death s1e10 "Wherever You Go There You Are" - in the top panel, a washed out image of Ed (Taika Waititi) holding back tears curled up on his side in his blanket fort wrapped in his boyfriend's left-behind bird robe. In the middle panel from the same scene but in full color, Lucius (Nathan Foad) is giving his sympathetic listener therapist face. To the right of to his picture, a screenshot of Alison @alimasin.bsky.social's Bluesky post has been added. The post reads "never underestimate the curative power of full-sugar baja blast" and is outlined in a bright baja blasty turquoise. The bottom panel shows Ed (Waititi) again, also in full vibrant color, looking contemplative with his face tilted slightly up. A fluffy white cloud dream bubble has been added to the left of his picture. Inside the dream bubble is a screenshot from ofmd s1e1 "Pilot" showing Stede (Rhys Darby) in his bright teal iconic Captain look, with the color extra pumped up to resemble a Baja Blast. His arms are outstretched while standing on the deck of the Revenge. Love hearts surround the dream image

You KNOW and I KNOW Stede is asking about butt measurements. Like WHO is measuring his butt?

Fang has never fought so hard in his life to not giggle at Ed's reactions. He's losing the battle.

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is leaning back into Stede's chest. He's nuzzling against Stede's cheek. Stede's arm is around Ed's back and his hand is dangling over his shoulder. His other arm is around Ed's. Their eyes are closed and they're both smiling.

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're both in bed. It's early enough that neither are fully awake. Ed is pressed up against Stede's back. He's worming a hand up under Stede's night shirt. Stede is bleary eyed and smiling in response.

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're sleeping. Ed is the little spoon as Stede is draped over his back. They're loosely holding each other's wrists. Stede is sleeping with his mouth open. Ed is smiling in his sleep.

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is asleep on his back. His hair is spread out on the pillow, one arm is bent so that his fingers are curled and tucked up against his face. His other arm, mostly out of view, is raised and bent behind his head and under his hair. He's wearing a shirt that's bunched up around his torso. His mouth is open slightly to suggest he's snoring. Stede is tucked into Ed's side, lying on his stomach. He's shirtless and somewhat glowing in the early morning light. He's smiling a little bit, enough to pop a dimple, probably in that space between sleep and waking. He likes morning sounds; birds, the stray beach cat that's adopted them scratching on the door, Ed's deep rumbling snores.

Fang slides a filled out registration form over.

Blackbeard's choice usually doesn't include the rubber ducky pirate when it's made for him, but Fang must have forgotten.

Stede is now eyeing the toy and maybe he's checking Ed out.

Did he just giggle? Blackbeard is suddenly interested in the smoothie bar.
