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.

just to be super clear, we can swing this on credit but it's a pretty big hit & I will be unavailable to work for about a week following, so I need to make up that income. thank you so much, love & solidarity (ow my teeth hurt)

Hi folks

TL;DR: my back molar cracked and infection is spreading to my jaw, we need to have it removed & have a bone graft in place. insurance doesn't cover the bone graft, so I am asking to raise some money to help with offsetting a loan & recovery time due to surgery

I recently had to go through a needed procedure and have been hit with a big medical bill - if anyone is able/willing to donate a small amount to help me out I would appreciate that a ton! Even just sharing this post would be helpful, thank you so much ❤️

it isn't that people do not mobilize - often, they do! historically, indigenous sovereignty, black liberation movements, & internationalist youths. the problem more so is that every other segment quickly tries to abandon or contain them. one of the most amorphous deradicalization systems in history

I rarely defend Americans, but we shouldn't forget that American GenZ started the student protests in 2023, were beaten to a pulp by police, got thrown out of school, lost scholarships, had their degrees revoked, etc. An Egyptian friend of mine joked "those kids were Arab Springed" Funny but true.

it's as if liberals are embarrassed of the anger they feel & try to justify their inaction via some moral argument that hurting someone in retaliation is Bad. and where did that get us?

vlada yaga 👁 ➤ UVW-CWA @vladadraws.bsky.social · 13d

like, yeah. your revolution will not be aesthetic. your protest will not remain peaceful when the opposite side has tanks and guns and treats you like meat to be churned through. it's not about lusting for that violence it's about trying to build w/o it and still knowing it is inevitable

"revenge bad" stories have their place but they always make me feel like the point is pacification against the fact that most injustices are, actually, resolved through violence. the violence is not the point, it is a consequence of pain inflicted, esp in a systematic way
