I've been nebulously plagued by various such phrases and noticed them individually and sporadically; this article seems to have provided a basis for an over-arching concept which may help me to consolidate the way that I think about them, making it easier to recognise the underlying dynamic and corresponding fault in communication integrity, and thus navigate it coherently. I much appreciate this.
- hackable_sand 8mo agoI don't get the joke ...
- grimgrin 8mo agoSometimes I use them, because I simply want the person to shut the fuck up The half time super bowl show is on, if you're really having a _problem_ with Bad Bunny, I agree to disagree ;) "shut the fuck up"

- ithkuil 8mo agoIn this case the (communication) termination is working as intended
- ecshafer 8mo agoA much more fun strategy is what I call "up the ante". Agree with them, but push the idea even further, throw some conspiracy theories in there. Example: A: I cant believe they have Bad Bunny doing the half time show! B: Yeah its crazy... but you know how the lizard people are, they are just trying to distract us from the flat earth. And keep upping it until they no longer agree.
- grimgrin 8mo agoThat would work, but it has the problem of not terminating quickly enough. You see, the halftime superbowl show is on
- some_random 8mo agoYeah they work great for terminating thoughts, that's the whole point.

- shalmanese 8mo agoEh, it is what it is.
- buescher 8mo ago>because I simply want the person to shut the fuck up Because you don't want to think about what they have to say, which is why you choose that approach to ending the conversation.
- janoelze 8mo agoDon't overthink it.
- ithkuil 8mo agoPointing out thought terminating cliches is a thought terminating cliche?
- abound 8mo agoThey're joking, "don't overthink it" is an example on the Wikipedia page.
