Damn, you got me.

Very right wing opinion piece.

When somebody walks into a closed door, its really hard not to laugh.

They can be passive aggressive or aggressive aggressive about it.

If a person is doing a thing that is dodgy and nobody wants to directly confront them about it, maybe laying the groundwork for the offending person to do some self reflection will make it easier when somebody pushes back in a more direct manner.

Being an oxygen thief isn’t a good idea either.

We’re expected to have opinions about things we know nothing about and have no experience with. People being expected to have an opinion on Ukraine or Russia, right this second, when they honestly don’t think about either of them and they’re not allowed to admit to it.

So, all the little propaganda campaigns that are always working to pump out noise eventually find everybody. Then, when a person is asked about something they have nor strong opinions about or experience with the first thing that pops into their head is something that was just background noise for months or years and gets repeated, adding to the propaganda noise that’s always humming away.

Positive/Negative or Non-malicious/Malicious would probably work.

surprised we don’t have any JGR emotes… maybe I just need to keep looking

• Unnecessarily horny and/or going into detail about SA.

Yes, I’m looking at you Ann McCafferey and whoever the fuck wrote The Reality Dysfunction series.

Runner up.

• Shoehorning in a romantic relationship where it feels incredibly out of place for the narrative and the established character interactions.

Using an slipspace FTL engine to “warp” giant rocks a mile above a city would be a terrifying weapon.

Zero defense. No warning.

There’s literally people who interpreted the “shower scene” as him just beating the kid up and them being kicked out of battle school.

I think the most recent movie adaptation takes this route (though it might still be vague enough to be interpreted as the adult trying to keep Ender from knowing he murdered a kid.)

Have one super negative trait and every session ends with an “oopsie” critical failure when you go to shake hands with the rescued king.

I listened to an audio book version of some old sci-fi short story that was sorta like this.

A human space traveller was captured by aliens, imprisoned, questioned and the aliens were attempting to torture him. The human never really describes who/what the aliens are until the end.

And it turns out its intelligent machines that are trying to torture him by using water as a threat. It really freaked out the machines that this human was able to drink water or something. It was amusing.

That would be super bleak.

A sci-fi story where there’s an inter system/galactic war where the generation ships, instead of being for deep space research/colonization, are war ships.

Arrested Development reboot but its the Waltons instead of the Bluths.

Find that CIA/FBI operations manual on how to disrupt orgs by using infiltrators and turncoats.

Print out and highlight the parts that talk about the specific actions of, nitpicking on specific but insignificant details and what is essentially filibustering.

Pass them around.

In high school I just kinda started doing bad at things that I used to do well but on purpose. I was a band nerd and had been first or second chair for a very long time and one day I decided that I was going to bomb the chair placement tryouts and let somebody else play the hard parts of the music (it was a public high school… nothing that we played was very hard).

I probably could have just asked to play third part but it was kinda … necessary to go through the process of failing. Even though I did it on purpose, it still felt very bad. Which was a weird thing to feel myself going through.

Maybe find something hard that you can do on your own that you know you’re going to fail at. Some stupidly hard video game (no cheats or walkthroughs) or read a very difficult book to comprehend all the way to the end without stopping to look anything up or read somebody else’s synopsis. Just constantly tell yourself that its okay to not be good at a thing.

Fuck… if your self description is anything to go off of, if you really want to dive blind off of a cliff, go find a karaoke bar. Walk in the door, either ask somebody to pick a song for you that they won’t mind you mangleing or pick one at random. The only rules are that you have to keep trying to sing the song, no matter how bad you fuck it up and you stay on the stage until the song is over.
