This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Humiliating people does not help them grow, study suggests

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

it's just as equally effective to break dumb beliefs like this as reasoning is, and both are far more effective than empathy, according to studies.

I'm going to need a source for those claims.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

GIYF. the paper is out there, published and reviewed. circa 2021, I think.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You made the claim, you provide the source.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

naw, I'm lying. it doesn't exist. whatever you want to believe, I don't fucking care about you.

If you want to look it up, look it up. if you don't, don't. I have zero interest in trying to convince retards.

Mmk and I have no reason to take anything you say seriously. Guess you're just a lying sack of shit.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

heh, sure, if you say so. 🤷‍♂️ If saying that makes you feel better, I'm happy for you.

The paper still exists, regardless whether you believe in it or not, though.

Cool, dunno why you can't link it since you are the one using it.

I dunno why you can't link it since you are the one caring so much

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because that's the basics of discussion. You use a source, you link it to support your words.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

but... I don't want to. I don't care about you or your opinions enough to bother. 👍

also, I already said I'm lying. Are you wanting to prove I'm lying about lying?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

No, but it prevents other people from engaging with a topic to begin with

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

On the other hand, normalizing and allowing it just enables and validates it.
