Alabama provides the greatest arguments against the death penalty | Alabama Reflector The state wants to execute a 75-year-old man for being present at a murder he did not commit. It's not justice. It's bloodlust.

Alabama's penal system is corrupt AF and run by bloodthirsty white supremacist scumbags who don't give a goddamn about justice, like this trick, for example: @governorkayivey.bsky.social 🤮

Fortune 500 'whisperer' shares the 3 questions that will bring almost any argument to a positive end It can be deeply frustrating when an argument, debate, complaint, or negotiation goes off the rails. The fallout can include hurt feelings, mental exhaustion, and even damaged relationships, whether the disagreement happens in a business meeting or around the kitchen table. But one CEO and corporate communication expert suggests three questions he says can help bring a positive conclusion to almost any argument. _Steven Gaffney_ has worked for more than 30 years as an advisor and communicator for Fortune 500 companies, helping leaders communicate plans and negotiate deals. He said that conversations inside and outside the boardroom can be disrupted and steered toward solutions when one person asks the other party three simple questions. - YouTube youtu.be ## 1. What would you suggest? Instead of trying to convince another person of your point, it may be more fruitful to give them the opportunity to suggest a solution to the shared problem or propose the plan they prefer. This can surface an option they already support, one the two of you can agree on or negotiate further. It can also redirect the conversation toward solution-finding, or help them realize they do not have a clear alternative and may be more open to yours. ## 2. What would it take for you to agree? Gaffney said that when this question is asked enough times, the conversation naturally shifts toward finding a solution. It helps clarify what the other person wants, what concerns they have with a proposal, and what they ultimately want the outcome to look like. This provides direct insight into their priorities and allows those concerns to be addressed, which can reduce resistance by helping them feel heard. ## 3. Can you live with it? There are times when one or neither person gets 100 percent of what they want. That is simply part of life. Asking this question aloud can surface minor hang-ups that may be blocking an agreement or compromise by encouraging self-reflection, both for the other party and for yourself. If you can "live with it," you have reached a point of agreement. If they can live with it, that is a success as well. The worst case is that someone cannot live with it, and that is fine. If that happens, Gaffney recommends starting the questioning over with "What would you suggest?" to move past a stopping point in the conversation and explore what other options might be available to both of you. > @collegehumor > > Seriously, why can’t we just say the number out loud? #parody #comedy #sketch #collegehumor #business ## Professionals chime in Communication professionals told Upworthy that they largely agree with the themes and intent behind Gaffney's three questions. "Gaffney's three questions provide a framework that encourages contribution and ensures commitment," said Joel Simon, attorney at _Simon Perdue Law Firm_. "They create a structured path from uncertainty to clarity and action. I agree these questions work because they redirect dialogue from blame or debate toward collaboration and problem-solving. Each question encourages ownership, transparency, and commitment which aligns with negotiation principles I use daily, where resolving conflicts efficiently while preserving relationships is paramount." However, while Gaffney has a proven track record and the intent behind his questions is sound, not all of his contemporaries agree that his style of questioning is one-size-fits-all. _Jennifer Martin_, a communications expert and business consultant with 25 years of experience, said that while she appreciates Gaffney's direct approach, it may not be effective for everyone. "Just like the world is not filled with only tech gurus and accountants, as leaders we have to be prepared to style-flex and communicate in the language of creatives, salespeople, people pleasers, and the just-the-facts types among others," said Martin. "This is why personality tests are so popular in business." Communication and workplace culture expert _Dallin Cooper_ largely agreed with the broader intent of Gaffney's questions, saying they place people in an "outcome-focused mindset" that "creates introspection." That said, he also noted that the approach is not foolproof, particularly the final question. "The key to de-escalating a conversation is to avoid defensiveness, and if you exasperatedly ask someone 'Can you just live with it?,' that often isn't going to end well," explained Cooper. "The delivery, the tone, and the wording of a question like that can make a huge difference in making it feel non-combative." > @kyleinspires > > People who practice conversations predict social outcomes 44% more accurately #socialanxiety #introvert #communication #neuroscience #brain Like Cooper, Martin was also concerned with _how_ the questions are asked. She suggested that, depending on the other person's personality, communicators may need to tailor their message in a way the audience can best receive. Some people respond well to direct bluntness, while others may require more finesse. Martin recommended approaching the other party with the intention of allowing them to express their point of view, while keeping the focus on understanding what they want in order to find a solution that fits. "As all any of us really want is to be seen, heard, respected, and considered," she said. "One thing these questions all have in common is that they are undeniably good questions to ask yourself," concluded Cooper. "They will help you understand why you're having the conversation, whether it's worth having, and keep you focused on a solution. All great things to ask yourself. And all good things to ask someone else if you ask them at the right time, and in the right way."

How to shut down holiday dinner arguments with just one simple sentence As many of us begin to gather for Thanksgiving dinners and other festive holiday events, some might feel a tad anxious. Tensions might be running high, some rooted in political differences and some just good old-fashioned bickering about how the Christmas ham should be carved. (I'm a tofurky person, myself.) Whether it's families or even just friends, arguments big and small have a tendency to make their way to the lunch and dinner table. And according to many therapists and other experts, there are actually reasons for this difficulty in communication, especially around people we've known a long time. > See on Instagram In the piece "Why Can’t I Let It Go? When Trivial Arguments Trigger Strong Emotions," Elka Cubacub, MSW, writes that there are often many factors that can lead to escalation during these times. Cubacub believes there are "three underlying dynamics" that contribute to escalation, and they all similarly overlap. 1. **"Unmet Needs"** This is the idea that there are already some resentments that have built up. What might seem like a trivial disagreement has grown into a bigger one. She explains, "Anger and resentment are both expressions of unmet needs. When we fight about something seemingly insignificant, there's an unexpressed need beneath the surface. This might be an external need for help with housework, childcare, or other shared responsibilities. Or it might be an internal need for acceptance, love, appreciation, or respect." 2. **"Relational Undertones"** She explains, the "undertone defines the roles we play in relation to one another: Are we teachers, mentors, friends, colleagues, lovers, or something else? Do we see ourselves as dominant or subservient, allies or adversaries? Do we feel appreciated or rejected? Understood or alone?" This plays heavily into possibly getting triggered by what some might consider small disagreements—making it seem bigger in the moment. 3. **"Personal histories"** Much like the other two dynamics, personal histories heavily influence how people interact. She notes, "When an argument feels overly charged, it's helpful to ask ourselves: Where have I felt this feeling before? Who does this situation remind me of? Understanding the historical context can help us recognize why a seemingly innocuous interaction feels so heavy." Tips on how to stay sane over the holidays. www.youtube.com, Fox 5 New York So that can often be the "why" of it. The question then becomes, "How to navigate?" Many articles give similar advice, which is to "plan ahead" and "set boundaries." In Senior Reporter for _Business Insider_ Katherine Tangalakis-Lippert's 2024 article. she gives that exact advice. She also quotes licensed clinical mental-health counselor Keisha Saunders-Waldron, who advises not to get thrown by one comment. Tangalakis-Lippert suggests, "When Uncle Brandon just has to make a comment, even after you've clearly said you don't want to engage, you don't have to let it derail the day." She adds Saunders-Waldron's note: "It could be worth hashing out when we're talking about things where your value systems and core beliefs start to kick in—but if we know there is no resolution, and it's not worth ending the relationship over, then we want to agree to disagree." And while, yes, this is good advice, it's often hard to do either of those things in the heat of the moment. Friends make a toast at the dinner table over the holidays. Giphy Friends Holiday GIF by University of Michigan But a piece of advice mentioned in a _CNBC Make It _column really resonated and stood out. It's just one simple sentence that could (maybe) diffuse a tiff: "**Let's focus on the things we agree on."** ****It's that simple and it's kind. And it works. Contributing writer Mark Murphy notes that whether this is an argument with family and friends over the holiday, a boss, a spouse (or I'll even add a stranger on the Internet) this one sentence can help diffuse the disagreement in five seconds flat. Murphy shares that this sentence is beneficial and it works because, "First, it ensures that we don’t get suckered into prolonging the fight. When we force ourselves to look for areas of agreement, it changes our mindset. We move from seeing a person as an enemy to seeing them as someone who’s not that different from us." He further points out that it "deprives the angry person of additional fuel for their anger. We’ve all encountered the person who’s in a foul mood and just looking to pick a fight with anyone. But when we greet their provocations with a smile and a desire for seeking agreement, we make ourselves a very unappealing target." So whether you're passing the gravy or cranberry sauce, the next time someone starts to bait you into an uncomfortable (and possibly unwinnable) conversation, stop and think, "What can I learn from them?" And when you bust out, "Let's focus on the thing we can agree on," you both might just find that you learn something new. At least in terms of empathy, you may connect more than you even thought possible.
