Intent SHOULD matter most here. Generally that’s true. I’ve also seen some folks go apeshit on people for using the wrong terms while the person speaking was actively trying to use the correct terms but just isn’t up-to-date. People of all groups, nationalities, genders etc can be dickheads, even when I agree with them broadly politically
I miss slapstick comic strips!
I’m partial to Charles Darwin with this banger from 1861
But I am very poorly today and very stupid and I hate everybody and everything. One lives only to make blunders.
To this day I hear “Diarrhea Jane” instead of “Diary of Jane”
I think this is basically true. Though it’s an interesting topic Here is an interesting bit of research
Early and often. I used to be one of those people who would just never admit if I’m wrong, grew up with them for sure. Learned it’s WAY less stressful to just admit the moment you realize you’re wrong.
That said, I use devils advocating to figure out what my actual opinions are, so I will argue positions I’m not 100% sure of pretty adamantly. Always seems to throw people when we debate for 20 minutes, me passionately defending my stance and then at the end I’m like “huh, yep. You right.” Most people think I’m fucking with them or something and keep trying to argue and I’m just like “yep, 100% agree”.
The flames of hell they seemed so high
When I could barely see over the pew
I was only a boy when they told me that lie
But lord it felt so true
And that’s a hell of a thing to do to a kid
Just to teach him right from wrong
You can burn in hell for the rest of your days
Or you can choose to sing along
Found this song on shuffle during a drive and had to pull over to cry out some religious trauma.
