getawhale do u enjoy making everyone cringe

I think humans like to see people angry, because in our modern world its the only time people seem to 100% straightforward give a damn about something. Or, better put, it's the only time they seem to give a damn, because they are passionate and convicted about something, rather than just strictly factual. We obviously recognize people are serious when they talk about "we're putting on this event" or "__ is casting this match", etc., but that all just kind of passes by the brain because there is no UMPH behind it. Like a week from now, will you remember exactly what time your lunch with someone was, or will you remember that thing the person you met with expressed they were pissed about? Both are 'genuine' pieces of information, but one feels like it means more. Beyond informational statements like "this is when this event is happening", it feels like in everyday life its so rare anyone says something with total intent, because we're all so ready to call each other out on bullshit instantly or make a laugh about something. Anger feels so refreshing, because it's like people communicating or thinking with the defense walls down. That's their bottom line. No more finicking around or pretending like they do or don't care. - - - - The main reason anger is interesting to me as a concept is because it points to the fact that the rest of our lives are full of so much superficiality and failure to be unapologetically honest (like when we are angry), which of course are things we don't have to be, but things we choose to be. I'm guilty of it all the time, not going through the minuscule effort to really explain my piece of mind or fight for small points of contention, because it just doesn't seem worth it to rock the boat. And that's a helpful instinct in a lot of cases, there's good reason we evolve (throughout our lives, not in a macro biological context) to keep our mouth shut, or avoid sticking our neck out in moments where the prospect of succeeding in your persuasion wouldn't offer enough of a gain to justify the risk to initiate the verbal conflict. But the ironic thing is we just end up hurting ourselves. Even if it seems totally stupid to express your opinion about something that is disputed by the people around you, because it's such a small point, you're wasting your own time by selling out your own beliefs to get along with people who probably aren't the best fit. If they would be put off by whatever you might have wanted to say but didn't, then those people aren't worth your self-censorship in order to woo them over anyway.

I'm pretty sure arekk also said paddie was annoying in mumble
