I'm curious about cultural differences around kids calling adults by their first name with no title. My family is Jewish and we always did that, and it seemed the norm among my friends. Is that a particularly Jewish norm?

You define for yourself whether you're Jewish. I didn't grow up with any religious practice, but still feel culturally Jewish.

(In this I'm not counting teachers or other adults where school/other rules applied.)

This ignores a lot of things like age and country, and flattens the wide variety of non-Jewish cultures into one group, but all of that wouldn't fit into a tumblr poll so I'm simplifying it.

(There probably is actual information on this somewhere out there if I looked, but it's more fun to do a completely non-representative tumblr poll.)

Random thought:

In a world where it is customary to hold your breath while a member of royalty or higher rank is speaking

- Puffing your cheeks is a sign of respect, gratitude, etc

- Sighs, yawns, hiccups, and other forms of loud breathing are considered rude

- Ventriloquism is a respected art because it practices speaking without any sign of breathing or speech

- blue make up is popular because it makes it appear like you've held your breath for others often

- Plants are considered sacred because they purify the air that we taint with our breathing

- Masks are a popular accessory and many heavily traditionalists wear them

- ASMR is considered a horrid act of rebellion and younger generations use it to rebel

- Mouths and noses in general are considered impure

- Surgeries to make breathing more difficult or to breath without anyone noticing are common

- people take classes to breathe without anyone realizing

- Breathing exercises are as private of an event as using the washroom

- Laughter, singing, speaking loudly, and other forms of auditory pleasure are luxuries reserved for the nobility

- Body language is a more respectable form of communicating than speaking

- Speaking is someone you can only do with someone of equal or lower rank. It is offensive for someone of lower rank to speak to you.

- Rooms that get filled with toxic fumes are a punishment to teach respect. Wrong doers get locked in these rooms for up to four minutes.

- People of higher rank are considered cruel and selfish if they speak continuously for more than four minutes

- Executions are usually done through suffocation or toxic gasses

- People that breathe through their mouths are discriminated against and often end up becoming lower class, which leads to them being punished for breathing even more.

- Celebrities often buy personal machines that inject oxygen into their blood stream so they don't need to breath at all.

- Breathing/blowing on someone is considered incredibly rude. Blowing smoke at someone is an incredibly high offence.

- Edibles and syringes are more common for drug use than smoking since you're more likely to get caught

- Scented candles aren't nearly as popular. Neither is perfume. In fact things such as this are taboo. Why do you need air to smell better? Huh? Are you breathing it? Disgusting. Even scented hygiene products will earn you a few stairs.

- Knowing someone's scent is considered incredibly intimate

- The phrase: 'Don't hold your breath' is more used as permission to speak freely or like the phrase 'don't sweat the small stuff' than a sarcastic remark used when impatient

- The gesture of blowing a kiss is considered as offensive as the middle finger

- People with conditions such as Asthma have a similar role in society to people on the Autistic spectrum because they are either extremely patronized and pitied, shamed for their 'blatant disrespect', considered angels for going through so much, or are considered a sign that humanity is evolving towards not breathing

I could go on but I think I've built enough on this dystopian nightmare

The Philosophy of Courage

The philosophy of courage explores the nature, value, and significance of courage as a moral and existential virtue. Courage is often regarded as the willingness to confront fear, danger, or adversity in pursuit of a noble or morally worthy goal. Philosophers have long grappled with questions about the origins of courage, its ethical implications, and its role in shaping human behavior and character.

Key aspects of the philosophy of courage include:

Definition and Nature: Philosophers examine the concept of courage and its various dimensions. They explore different definitions of courage, considering whether it involves the absence of fear, the ability to act despite fear, or the presence of certain virtues such as resilience, determination, or moral integrity. Philosophers also explore the relationship between courage and other moral virtues, such as justice, temperance, and wisdom.

Moral and Existential Courage: Courage is often divided into moral courage and existential courage. Moral courage involves standing up for one's principles, values, or convictions in the face of opposition or adversity. Existential courage involves confronting the uncertainties, challenges, and existential threats inherent in the human condition, such as mortality, meaninglessness, and existential angst.

Ethical Perspectives: Philosophers analyze the ethical significance of courage within different ethical frameworks, such as virtue ethics, deontology, and consequentialism. They explore questions about whether courage is inherently good, how it relates to other moral virtues, and whether there are moral limits or constraints on courageous action.

Psychological and Emotional Dimensions: Philosophers consider the psychological and emotional aspects of courage, including the role of emotions such as fear, anxiety, and resilience in shaping courageous behavior. They examine theories of emotion regulation, emotional intelligence, and moral development to understand how individuals cultivate courage in the face of adversity.

Social and Political Courage: Courage is often manifested in social and political contexts, where individuals challenge injustice, oppression, or wrongdoing. Philosophers explore the role of courage in promoting social change, defending human rights, and resisting tyranny or authoritarianism. They examine historical examples of courageous figures such as activists, whistleblowers, and revolutionaries who have risked their lives for the greater good.

Cultural and Historical Perspectives: Courage is influenced by cultural norms, values, and traditions, which shape how courage is understood and practiced in different societies. Philosophers study the cultural and historical roots of courage, tracing its evolution across time and cultures and examining how it is depicted in literature, art, and mythology.

Philosophical Exemplars: Philosophers often cite examples of courageous individuals or moral exemplars who embody the ideals of courage. These exemplars may include historical figures such as Socrates, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as fictional characters from literature and mythology. Philosophers analyze the virtues and qualities that make these individuals courageous and explore the lessons they offer for moral and existential courage.

Overall, the philosophy of courage provides a framework for understanding and evaluating the significance of courage in human life, ethics, and society. It raises important questions about the nature of courage, its moral implications, and its role in promoting human flourishing and moral integrity.

The Environment's Role in Spiritual Growth

Spiritual growth is an inward journey that involves deepening self-awareness, a connection to a higher purpose, and a pursuit of inner peace and enlightenment. Though one might perceive spiritual growth as purely internal, the environment plays an instrumental role in shaping this voyage.**The Outer Reflects the Inner**: Spirituality isn’t limited to the realm of meditation, prayers, or religious…

Touch in that pub scene

That's this one I am talking about:

I know we are all going feral over it, but tbh, what I was watching it, it did not strike me as special, simply because in a crowded pub people do touch each other (mostly on the shoulder, or on the back) to get attention, get past, etc. So I don't know of it was a special acting choice, or simply "we're in a pub" situation (and it is not unreasonable to assume that Michael and David have been to a pub together before). I have seen this gesture between men many times, I don't think most guys are even conscious about it. Anyhow, it is a delicious moment, but I am just not sure it is as extraordinary as the fandom might think.

If you are interested, in Israel, we call other adults by their first names. In schools, it depends on the teacher. Some teachers want to be called 'Teacher' only, while others hate it and ask us to call them by their first name only. Same with professors as well.

We don't do the whole Mr, Miss, Mrs in school at all. We use them in official documents or sometimes when we want to ask a stranger something. Israeli culture is rather informal tbh.

I personally always struggled with the teachers and professors who wanted the class to call them by their first name because I felt like I was being "too familiar" with them and disrespecting them as a result 😅😂

(This is in reference to this poll.)

Oh interesting! Thank you for writing in to let me know, I am interested. I've never been to Israel, but that was the vague impression that I had.

I've never minded calling professors or teachers anything, but I prefer when they actually tell us what they want to to be called so I don't have to guess lol.

Thanks anon!

I do think it's funny that in newer SFF fandoms you're considered edgy and extra if you ship two villains with, like, maybe some light dub con, whereas in older anime fandoms you can stumble across the most ridiculous untagged beastiality gang bang gonzo porn with robot enemas and accidental underage stuff on a packed train, and this is just normal. You don't even have to go looking for it.

No Comparison

One thing that we all have in common is we are different which means there couldn’t be another you. You are your signature in this universe. When people’s heart lurches while tossing away their head and saying you’re not good enough, brush it off with a smile, your existence is not dependent on their approval. Love every part of yourself, and flaunt your flaws, for flaws are somewhat small parts…
