    when you react to people who are laughing at you, all you’re doing is confirming to them that their opinion matters to you. which is exactly what they wanted

    this clip is trying to say “i don’t care,” but its existence alone says “i deeply care”

    it’s insane how “don’t feed the trolls” is such a ubiquitous and also ignored thing over the last many years

      this clip is trying to say “i don’t care,” but its existence alone says “i deeply care”

      The setup makes you expect “i don’t care,” but then the punchline is actually “i deeply care”. The joke here is the subversion of expectations.

          Yeah this is all dogshit advice, I just need to say that: I doubt there are kids reading this, but fucking hit your bully. It’s bullshit for a little bit but it will solve the problem.
