Guest entry: How to Share Your Cause or Beliefs Without Being a Total Jerk

adulting:

Hi everyone! So the book came out last week and it’s been kind of a whirlwind since then, although I will say that I have achieved a life-dream, which is to utter the phrase “go look at pictures of baby otters” live on Fox News.

I’m sorting through all the book giveaway entries, and will have some winners announced by Wednesday; in the meantime, go check these answers out because oh man, you guys are so wonderfully adult and are slaying it out there.

In the meantime, here is a great guest entry from LeotardSanity:

The Internet is a great place to learn how not to have a meaningful discussion. Rather than respectfully sharing our point of view, any lengthy conversation on sensitive matters such as politics, religion, race, sexuality, or the Oxford comma quickly devolves into a lot of mudslinging and comparing those on the other side to the Third Reich.

pimpsandqueensandcriminals:

when I was fat and happy

people always told me that

I needed to be small

and they covered it up with words

BMI and Wast-to-Hip Ratio

And the nagging suspicion

that skipping meals

and throwing up

was not a good thing to do

was stamped out by compliments

So powerful!

“You would be giving off more CO2 if you are riding a bike than driving in a car,” he said. However, he said he had not “done any analysis” of the difference in CO2 from a person on a bike compared to the engine of a car (others have).”
Idiot. 

This idiot…I can’t…it would just be too easy and I was taught not to pick on the weak.

Nobody tells people who are beginners, and I really wish somebody had told this to me, is that if you’re watching this video you’re somebody who wants to make videos, right? And all of us who do…

Good advice.
