I used to paint for this guy who only had 9 fingers. He once told me a piece of advice that always stuck with me: “If you get mad, you lose”. In life, in an argument, in general. If someone upsets you, you have lost. You have been manipulated. They are controlling your emotions. In such, I have always guarded my emotions from other people. Nothing anyone says can really affect me. Sometimes I forget that part of myself is not like most people.
I can understand how me joking about Kirk dying can be translated to wanting him dead, but that’s truly not the case. Heck, I stumbled upon a heavily censored video of it and my stomach was a lil woozy most the day. I can joke about death, and rape, and torture, enjoy it in fictional settings like movies and such, but I really detest real-world violence. I don’t even like to watch UFC fights.
