not to be fake deep but admitting you fucked up and saying youāre sorry is 100000000x more rewarding than defending flawed views or thoughtless if unintentionally so actions, 10/10 would recommend, itās not losing face itās earning respect
This is literally how you know youāre an adult.Ā āIām sorry I snapped at you.Ā Iām cranky but that doesnāt excuse taking it out on you.āĀ āIām sorry I screwed this vital thing up.Ā I thought I had it under control and didnāt.Ā Can we fix it by xyz?ā Ā āIām sorry I forgot we had plans tonight.Ā I was distracted, but this is important to you.Ā Letās do the thing!āĀ
A sincere Iām sorry are two of the most powerful words in the English language. Ā
I JUST learned that this shirt cost them $10,000 to put into this movieā¦ but they refused to compromise because they were like: heās the hugest Golden Girls fanā¦ this has to make the movieā¦ so they paid $10,000 to use Bea Arthurās likeness on this shirtā¦ Ā Ryan Reynolds, youāre doing Deadpool so right.

me externally: lit teachers arent pulling text analysis out of their asses
me internally: the reason people and especially students like to blame English for seemingly making up meanings where they cant see it is because literature is an art and art is widely regarded asĀ āeasyā,Ā āanyone can do thatā,Ā āits stupid and uselessā unlike math and science which are widely regarded as difficult but important subjects so while students will readily admit that they have trouble with math or science theyāre more likely to shift the blame when they dont understand a more artistic subject, seeing it as a sign of weakness that they dont get something thats supposed to be dumb and easy rather than seeing it as an important topic thatās just as crucial to their knowledge as any stem subject and just as difficult and in-depth as any math or science can beĀ
also a good proportion of high school + middle school lit/english teachers are absolutely terrible at teaching the tools for text analysis and just default to didactically telling students one single interpretation of a given text instead of helping them learn how to create (and defend) their own meanings in response, which a lot of people understandably have negative reactions toĀ
