new tips on dealing w/lyfe here THIS MY BLØG

anger and what to do with it

people so angry on the internet

everyone loves a good blame game

just free floating here, not talkin bout ilx

a stranger just called me a camel jockey on the internet! now i'm angry!

pls share tips for internet anger management ... i'll start:

1. quit internet

Count to ten but start sharpening knife at say six

speaking of sharpening the knife, i was thinking of taking some type of fighting or shooting class. do they offer knife fighting classes?

it's interesting, as i've gotten older, i've begun to rethink my pacifism and hardline stance against political violence. i haven't renounced it or abandoned it mind you ... but ... maybe that's just like turning one's anger management problem into an ethos or something

i mean to say that taking out aggression on the world around you to control your anger is probably actually just embracing your anger

I’ve never done or said anything while angry that I don’t regret

That said if you want to do political violence it’s probably easier to do if you get yourself angry

don't get mad: get angry

that's my sign

late great i can imagine being incredibly angry if someone did that. it's interesting to think about how the dynamics change with something like that when it happens offline as opposed to irl.

xp yes silby, i would say the same about that in certain aspects of my life (for example, with romantic partners)

on the other hand anger i wonder whether in some situations anger can possibly be really useful?

a few weeks ago some students spilled a big puddle (like a pint) of what was basically a fire accelerant on the floor while we were working with bunsen burners. they didn't know how to clean it up but nobody in a class of 30 said anything for at least twenty minutes because "they didn't want to snitch".

i got so mad ... i told the kids to sit down and i yelled at them "I THOUGHT I WAS WORKING WITH A GROUP OF YOUNG ADULTS ... BUT NOW I SEE YOU'RE JUST A BUNCH OF CHILDREN!!!!!"

haven't had any safety problems since ... and they'll certainly remember it ... hopefully i did a good enough job explaining *why* i was angry that they'll remember the seriousness of their transgression, and not just think i'm an uptight prick or something

xp i'm not sure karl. nobody has ever done that to me IRL, except one time right after 9/11 when i was at a bar (i was 24) and this guy who was about my age tried to goad me into a fight (unprovoked) by calling me a sand n***r.

but the guy was black, and i was so confused by it that i just walked away. it was a good call because he was a sailor and a little bigger than me.

can a mod please clean that up for me, i regret posting that uncensored

like everyone, i have been in a few fights as a child. but as an adult always walked away from them. i think that's generally a good idea. one time in berkeley i saw two marines start a fight (with each other) on the sidewalk outside a bar. they circled with fists up, then one guy took the first swing at the other guy. the other guy took a step back, avoiding the blow, but also stepped backward off a six inch curb, lost his balance, and fell flat backward. the back of his head hit the ground hard enough to crack it. the next day it was in the news that he had died. i don't think either of them intended for it to escalate like that.

that's the problem with violence, it always escalates.

angry language on the internet is kind of like that, i guess?

i think it can be a lot like that, yeah. it can feel a lot like that on the receiving end, for sure.

a stranger just called me a camel jockey on the internet! now i'm angry!

HA

the other guy took a step back, avoiding the blow, but also stepped backward off a six inch curb, lost his balance, and fell flat backward. the back of his head hit the ground hard enough to crack it. the next day it was in the news that he had died.

I feel like this is the exact reason I never really got into fights as a kid, even when I was getting physically bullied in middle school, despite having taken a ton of martial arts classes. I saw some Van Damme movie where this specific thing happens in the beginning and it scared me.

(tbf I was also really scared of getting in trouble too)

yeah violence is no joke

even an unskilled person can kill someone in a fistfight if they hit them in the right / wrong way and that's scary

i really hate the idea of getting into fights or violence in general, my only true fight was a draw in middle school and both of us got into serious trouble. and then become friends, bonding over our time in lockup i guess (i.e. thirty min in the principal's office.) ever since then whenever someone's pissed at me i defuse it, i think actually having a kid is very helpful. though adults are sometimes more irrational than kids.

also it's always good to remember how stupid people look when they fight each other, it's really the lamest thing in the world.

yes. they look like children.

Yeah honest to gosh martial arts is one thing but “learning how to fight” means learning how to kill or maim someone

anger! feelin it lately.

i have to attend this monthly board meeting for work. the current chair literally runs it like it's a mormon young men's meeting. this churchabuse factory almost killed me, i am a 40 year old gay man who has done the extremely hard work of establishing an identity outside of this suffocating death cult that has claimed ALL OF HIS FAMILY and i have to play along with this shit and it makes me PISSED.

the ex-chair of this board works for said "church". i feel constantly baited into liking him because he is smarter than everyone else, but he is also incredibly snide and condescending so i hate him more than everyone else. i don't know if i can explain this very well, but during the last meeting, he was talking about how his workplace forbids him from having facial hair (true! it's fucking crazy!), and he complained that the worst part about it was that it was enforced unevenly - he sees women with facial hair at his workplace every day! HAHA! a joke! his self-satisfied tone really brought out the bouquet of misogyny and policing women's bodies. i'm so mad at these people! i'm mad that they exist, and that i have to endure their existence! i hate them with every ounce of my being!!!!

also, had a long conversation with another ex-mormon on sunday about his family and the abuse tactics of the church etc etc. this guy is 48 years old and he has only begun to BE HIMSELF WITHIN THE LAST 10 YEARS because of all of these evil fucks and their evil monstrous organization. i'd say the anger bubbling up in my throat periodically over the last few days can be described as white hot!!
