@suzanne_young Great seeing you there!

[Skiffily Podcast @SkiffilyPodcast]

@Catrambo Your own house is gaslighting you!

@AmorenaNobile @frienem That floofy tail!

@jasonsanford Parent: What happened to your brown crayon?
Child: oh about that. I'm gonna need more green soon, too.

@greenleanings I'm assuming you entered walking backwards.

@thegourmez A fistful

@thegourmez I tell people all the 20-20-20 rule all the time. Every 20 words you write look at 20 birds for 20 minutes.

@amysundberg Be careful about those boys.

@mareasie "Someday - and that day may never come - I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as gift on my daughter's wedding day."

@pdjeliclark I showed this to my wife, who then asked me what the answer was.

"Oh, honey. The answer is on the screen."

@RachelBlomstrom @trueroscoe Again, it's not just about giving a false narrative with gaslighting. It's creating a sense of doubt about one's own perceptions. If a lie isn't designed to prompt one to question their own reality, it's not gaslighting.

[Skiffily Podcast @SkiffilyPodcast]

@RachelBlomstrom @trueroscoe I get the logic. But insofar as there is a distinction, gaslighting differs in that it has the effect of creating a sense of doubt, not just a false impression.

[Skiffily Podcast @SkiffilyPodcast]

@RachelBlomstrom @trueroscoe It can be. If I told you I can play the piano (I can't), it would just be a lie. If I played one in front of you and tried to convince you that what you actually heard was beautiful music, it would be gaslighting.

[Skiffily Podcast @SkiffilyPodcast]

@RachelBlomstrom @trueroscoe Gaslighting is a specific form of lying designed to cast doubt on one's perceptions or, if we want to get really abstract, their epistemology.

@kurellian I hope you can at least appreciate that my initial reading of this tweet put "this" between "poop" and "year." I thought to myself, "man, that is one hell of a BM."
