life hack if you want you can read "gm" (good morning) as "game master" and that way when people greet you through text abbreviation in the morning you can read "gm!" and go. hehe...... they are excited to greet me, the game master........ they call out my title with joy in their fingertips....

it's been 2 days now and I'm still fully alive so I'd say that was a success

my review of the toothbrush I got from the orthodontist 11 years ago: sparkly! and green! I like these things about it. tasted pretty normal at first but it tasted kinda bad by the end. was yellowy before I put it in my mouth but then I rinsed it off after brushing and the yellow went away? probably the toothpaste was expired, but there was no expiration date on the package, so 🤷 the actual quality of the toothbrush is pretty good tho. brushed well. handle a bit short, but I guess it's made for a child. 3.5/5 stars will update if I have to call poison control

really heavy sigh. let's☆go

Not that anybody asked, but I think it's important to understand how shame and guilt actually work before you try to use it for good.

It's a necessary emotion. There are reasons we have it. It makes everything so. much. worse. when you use it wrong.

Shame and guilt are DE-motivators. They are meant to stop behavior, not promote it. You cannot, ever, in any meaningful way, guilt someone into doing good. You can only shame them into not doing bad.

Let's say you're a parent and your kid is having issues.

Swearing in class? Shame could work. You want them to stop it. Keep it in proportion*, and it might help. *(KEEP IT IN PROPORTION!!!)

Not doing their homework? NO! STOP! NO NOT DO THAT! EVER! EVER! EVER! You want them to start to do their homework. Shaming them will have to opposite effect! You have demotivated them! They will double down on NOT doing it. Not because they are being oppositional, but because that's what shame does!

You can't guilt people into building better habits, being more successful, or getting more involved. That requires encouragement. You need to motivate for that stuff!

If you want it in a simple phrase:

You can shame someone out of being a bad person, but you can't shame them into being a good person.
