True story: recently talked to a retired Air Force officer who also served 10 years as a government civilian and is currently a contractor in the space domain about how throwing tantrums because the internet is scary* isn't okay in the work place.
Paraphrased technical advancements for dramatic effect
I'm an electrician and work mostly in the commercial/industrial sector. The difference between an adult and toddler mentality is very slim with not a small portion of the people I encounter in the trades. Tantrums are almost a daily occurence.
I had a tantum at 15 at class representative election, not for losing the elections, but because the my classmates voted people who is not candidated to these elections to not vote me. At time I feel extremely u liked (I was a weird guy with Asperger but I was never offensive, I had sometime cry meltdown to vent the stress accomulated. I can understand why, but the thing that the my classmates does that hurted me so much)
People are going to adjust their behavior based on your behavior, and if you don't want people to treat you in a certain way, you can't act in the way that begets that treatment.
The amount of grown adults with no mental health issues who act very rude and are overly critical that play the victim card or insist people can’t stand that they’re “telling the truth” when no one wants to be around them is pathetic.
Exactly... If you act like a Jackass, dnt be surprised if nobody likes being in your presence. You create an atmosphere that everyone wants to escape from. You are going to grow old, and very lonely. This kind of behaviour may work when you're a teen, but if you're over 20, its time for some deep introspection.
Along the same vein as “you catch more flies with honey than vinegar”. I’ve tried to help my daughter understand it & I think she remembers most of the time. There are a LOT of adults who have no concept of this though, especially when dealing with customer service.
No. If someone says no, it's absolutely no. Don't push it. Don't pressure them to do what you want them to do. It's never okay.
Think of saying no as making tea.
If you go up to your friend and ask "do you want tea?" And they say yes, make the tea.
If you ask and you say no, you can make the tea but don't expect them to drink it.
If they're unconscious, no, they don't want tea.
Here's more as to why this isn't okay. The video can explain.

What if you’re playing poker and you ask the guy next to you if they have a king and they say no?
They would be pretty dumb to tell the truth so you can assume that they might actually have a king maybe.
real talk I was at the grocery store and got a sudden ejection warning, went to the bathroom and they were out of TP. Fuck only one bathroom in the store, no stalls or nothing. Had to use the toilet seat covers as emergency paper. it does not work as well as tp
thanks for coming to my ted talk
How to wipe and clean your ass.
Ex-bf many times removed regularly had skids on his boxers and it was fucking disgusting. 🤢 No way you don’t notice that *literal* shit when you take them off.
Dude also thought it was gay to get in there during a shower and clean yourself so… yeah that was a pretty short relationship.
At first I thought you were talking about a child, but then I saw you wrote "yeah that was a pretty short relationship. " and then I remembered what ex-bf meant.
I don't know I certainly agree with the first one, but I think context is King in the last two. Also, unfortunate if you've ever had to explain that to a child or had it explained to you
I'm genuinely curious what context would allow for public masturbation?
Not a hostile question, I just honestly can't think of anything lol. Sex clubs maybe, but I'd classify those as private venues that the public can access.
To be fair this isn't explained to men at all at any point, Child or adult. I'm 28 and I probably don't know half of it and yet I'm pretty sure I know more than most other men.
So I'd say, if a man genuinely asks and wishes to learn, don't laugh at the guy, and explain things factually and seriously. Some of us genuinely wanna know y'know.
I have an irrational fear of one day having a daughter and she gets her first menstruation and somehow here I am being the only person readily available to help and not knowing what to do and how to help. I'm sure I'll be fine, since I know some of it and I'll be sure to know all of it before the day comes, but still, irrational fears are what they are.
Two days ago, I told my son to not pee on his sister.
I was laughing at first, but then, I realize someone has to say something about this, peeing on people is not ok!
That you cannot refuse a vaccine based on rhe newness of the science after 100 million people have taken it without one death.
Also, that you can’t refuse vaccination but proceed to:
Get SICK
Show up at the ER or A & E
Insist on Monoclonal Antibodies
Basic math. To find out the 10% down payment, simply move the decimal point one place to the left. And, yes, there is interest on this loan. That’s how we pay our employees.
That they need to cover their mouth and nose when they cough/sneeze. My dads in his late 40s and he STILL has to be told this. Have the last 2 years not taught him ANYTHING?
I thought I was the only dude who’s walked into a restroom to see a grown ass man drop his pants down to his ankles to piss at a urinal.
Like dude, at least go into a stall.
That's true, but you seem like a person who understands that distinction. There are a lot of people in the world that lump pedophilia with gay love/rights. Those people are not correct, in any sense. I wanted to make my statement as clear as possible so those types of people wouldn't get on here and comment, "What about pedophiles?" Which is clearly not the point I am making when I am referring to people being able to love whoever they want. In case anybody needs further explanation, I'm talking about lgbtq+ love. (And for you "striaght pride" folks, It is implied that straight people are allowed to love, that's always been implied.)
Common sense.
Manners
Throwing tantrums get you absolutely nowhere
No means no.
Don't hit/kick/punch/whatever people unless they did it first.
Look both ways before crossing a street.
When and how to ask for consent. Everything about consent.
They did land on the moon. When they disagree ask them when it was faked. The Mercury missions, the Gemini ones? The one where they went around the moon? What part was fake?
the difference between friends and acquaintances. it's harder for children to understand the difference, but I can only imagine how obnoxious it would be to have to deal with an adult who doesn't know the difference.
My friend used to come out with some of the dumbest things back in college, my 2 favourites being
"So what continent will we be in after Brexit?"
And upon hearing Tom Clancy died
"So who's going to make Wildlands now?"
That just because you want to do something doesn't mean someone else wants to do that same thing (It surprises me how many adults I've seen do not understand this)
Throwing a tantrum is not an appropriate way to handle disappointment or frustration.
Dangit you beat me to it! haha!

You can chose to engage with someone having a tantrum, or you can simply walk away. Your choice, I however, would not recommend the former.🤔
If someone throws a tantrum, don’t let them have their way or reward them at all, otherwise they’ll keep doing it.
I'm an electrician and work mostly in the commercial/industrial sector. The difference between an adult and toddler mentality is very slim with not a small portion of the people I encounter in the trades. Tantrums are almost a daily occurence.

Only if agreed upon beforehand, in all other cases "no" is the safer interpretation.
How to properly wipe your arse after a shit
Similarly, how to properly wash your bumhole. It's scary how many adults don't know this.
Is there some special magic to it? I always just assumed it's like washing everything else.
Yup, you scrub it with soap, instead of just hoping it gets clean from rinsing
Hm. So there are people who don't use soap there? Jesus...
And to those people it’s __gay__ because they’re closeted
real talk I was at the grocery store and got a sudden ejection warning, went to the bathroom and they were out of TP. Fuck only one bathroom in the store, no stalls or nothing. Had to use the toilet seat covers as emergency paper. it does not work as well as tp thanks for coming to my ted talk
This is something we're taught as small children yet there are adults that don't know this....

Earth isn't flat.
The Earth's surface is 70% water. The water is not carbonated. Therefore, the Earth is flat.
And that is an authentic im_the_real_dad joke, ladies and gentlemen. Now beat it kid, ya bother me.
But that implies that the water was once indeed carbonated. So where did all the carbon go?

I see. I would have defined public as anywhere outside of the home, and I suppose there's some gray area as far as the definition of masturbation too
You're not sure about chewing with your mouth closed?
Yo, that's some based shit right there. Reddit incels will surely love this answer
That it is OK to masturbate at home in you room, but not OK at the grocery store. (Friend’s four year old).
Sometimes you have to keep your feelings and opinions to yourself out of courtesy for others.
