Shock Humor Is Not Worth The Laughs.

I thought I was a comedian, but I was actually a clown. My mind is always looking for the joke.

In the winter of 2023, at the age of 41, I struck up a conversation with an 18 year old girl in a tattoo parlor in Ghent. I was waiting for my ink session. She had had hers and was waiting for a friend to get a tribute tattoo to her late mother.

The girl said she had gotten a little heart on her thigh. I made a terrible joke: "Now they will be able to identify you when they find your body". She was shocked. I made a half apology saying: "Sinister joke...".

My reactions always come delayed but I cringed at myself and still do to this day, 2 years later. I traumatized myself, again.

Shock humor might get a reaction which might sound like laughter. You might also make people uncomfortable and damage your reputation.

It's not that funny. Not everything that pops up in your mind is brilliant. Even if someone tells you that you are hilarious, an edgelord is not something to be. Be enlightened instead.

It's better to make dad jokes than cynical jokes. It's better to be compassionate.

Free speech doesn't mean you have to say everything you are thinking. You should censor your thoughts if you suspect that they are harmful. Real life is not a stage.


peace!

Concise Guide To Eating Mostly Plants

A Plant Based Diet is not a Vegan Or Vegetarian Diet. On a Plant Based Diet you get most of your nutrients from plants but allow for a small amount of animal products. ❗️Don't get your nutrition advice from randos like me. Instead, for advice on eating Plants, check out this FREE website:  https://veganhealth.org/ DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING I WRITE.  I started writing this guide at the beginning of my journey. It's a mess, and I now know better. Especially when it comes to supplements. I now take a multivitamin that contains B12, D, Selenium, Iodine... and I take an Omega 3 algea supplement which Plant Eaters anecdotally need. I make sure there is always soup in the fridge that includes Beans or Lentils and Dark Leafy Greens. I still agree with a lot of this advice, but changed my mind on some of it. I advise you to read websites and books by qualified people like: Books: Vegan For Life, Nourish Subscribe to the newsletters of the websites: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health...
