No, self-enhancing. It was in the article.

I’ve always loved self-enhancing humor. Maybe this is why I’ve been told I was never a child. Lol.

They didn’t have to do a study about this. I can prove it just by letting them get a whiff of my kids’ room in the morning.

Like others said, Che Guevara.

From what I’ve seen, he’s worn largely by edgelords who think they are rebellious but mostly just sit around and smoke pot.

Never attribute to reasoning that which can be explained by laziness.

There are many options between merely being polite and yelling. Maybe therapy can help you explore those.

Uh, yes there is. Infrastructure.

I got Thai curry from a new place. I have NO head for capsaicin heat, but I do like a bit of warmth so when he asked me how hot I wanted it on a scale of 1-10, I said three. He said that wasn’t too bad.

I had to eat little bits alternating with lots of rice. He was from Thailand. Apparently, his scale is exponential. I can’t imagine what a ten would be like.

They’ve been telling Gen X and younger that we’re going to suffer when old since we were kids.

Yep, I don’t, either. I think mostly subconsciously, then in raw concepts, then images, then words. I have to actively translate what I’m thinking into language in order to consciously understand it myself or communicate it, but I do better if I externalize the language through writing or speaking.

I wonder what it would be like to have a home town. Not to mention one so proud of you.

Agree. When I say “people are stupid” I mean they are living below their potential. The average person may have the intelligence, but consistently refuse to use it.

Some of us even have difference in sensitivity from one side to the other.

Right?

I mean, you teach yourself to drink something that tastes rotten. It impairs your ability to think and accomplish basic tasks. It increases your risk for legal trouble. It can make you vomit and sick the next day. It damages your internal organs, and it costs a ton. Finally, it traps you into needing it.

Yet, it’s the people who DON’T do it who are weird?

Because people lack both critical thinking skills and an imagination.

This, completely. I didn’t even know how much I depended on reading lips until everyone worth listening to was wearing a mask.

That happened to me, but now they are taking it again.

The news made a deal of it, but being surrounded by religious people, I didn’t hear one real person have a problem with it.

And your education has sadly failed you in teaching you what an analogy is.

An analogy is a comparison. I wasn’t comparing, just trying to teach you a basic logical thought process. Don’t worry, I’ve given up on that. I can see why your teachers failed. Prejudice is a hell of an intelligence blocker.

You can choose to leave a country and join a different one. But you haven’t, so you belong to it.

But your thought processes are clearly blocked. I’m certainly not going to try to open them. Closed minds are boring.
