Use Humor to Deal With Hate [I Love Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream]

@SW-User That is good thinking, no doubt. But there is sometimes a good goal to using humor to purposely increasing a person's lividity, such as in order to get a bully off the streets instead of using harsher ways. A judgment call.

@uncleshawn I don't know how that would work in practice. The lividity has to come out somewhere, if not on this street then some other street. Though of course, there is no one right way. We all do what feels right to us in the moment and I've reacted in non neutral ways plenty of times.

@SW-User Good point.

@SW-User Some people react with hatred about the immense value of beans. Long live beans.

@CereBellum That is usually best. You are smart. But sometimes when someone is bullying people, someone needs to step up to protect those who do not know how to deal with it and are truly disturbed by it. In a place like this, the weapon to use is mockery, laughter. Sometimes it has to be done. A judgment call. But certainly you are correct for the great majority of situations.
