a few years ago i started replacing “believer” in my internal monologue with “belieber” as a justin bieber joke and now i can’t stop
Conversation
etymologically it *almost* checks out, “believe” and the german “liebe” actually share the same root meaning love. sadly “bieber” appears to mean beaver

the stuff you joke about (even ironically or whatever) has a way of shaping your reality so be careful and deliberate with that stuff. a lot of people out here fumbling their own bags by joking about outcomes they don’t want. you might as well joke about the outcomes you do want

Be careful when you start saying stuff ironically because suddenly you can’t stop. Like I’ve been saying “yeet” for days. Yeet yeet yeet, constantly. My family is devastated. They won’t stop crying. “You’re breaking our hearts,” they say. “Yeet,” I say.
