inconceivable!!

My son used to ask me when he was a young boy, “mom, why do you use such expensive words?" 😁

Such as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? :))

Jordan Peterson is a prime example.

The term is "malapropisms"

I've mentioned this before, but I share this whenever this comes up. The 'alpha' concept that these idiots think they match does not exist. The study was based on wolves in captivity, not an actual pack. Its like studying prison behavior and thinking you understand humanity. In reality, the 'alpha' of a pack is the parents, and the rest of the pack their children. So the guy you see at the amusement park with the waistpack full of snacks, making sure his kids are happy and well fed, that is the truest Alpha Male you will ever meet.

Funny thing: real leadership doesn't require informing other people that you're a born leader. If assertiveness is a gimmick, you're not being a leader, you're being an a*****e.

Ugh, gross.

If you have to tell people you are an alpha (even though it's not real) you are not one.

I'm sorry but 🤢🤮

My brother had two - Fox News and Russia Today. We've banned politics in the family chat.

Not all sources are equal. By all means, being open to different perspectives is important, as is receiving your news from multiple sources. However, news outlets can cite sources and back-up their facts are far more valuable than other outlets.

I listen to the Black Entertainment Network in the car. Its an all news station that focuses primarily on current events and social issues from a black perspective. I also listen to Fox News, which I can't stand, but want to know what those close minded idiots think. On the net, I read Google news, Daily Mail (for trashy fun) and anBritish perspective, and, believe it or not, TMZ, which does report on bigger world events though their focus is primarily entertainment. I'm fairly comfortable with the range of perspectives, though I realize some of my chosen outlets don't have the credible reputations, justifiably so

And it's usually Fox News.

The most important lesson while studying was: Never trust 1 source, 1 author, 1 book, 1 whatever. Never.

I'll never forget when we were driving on the Garden State Parkway and my mother pulled over because my 15y.o. sister's friend had thrown some trash and made her walk back and pick it up. (this was in South Jersey and there was very little traffic, so safety wasn't an issue)

And in some rural areas, where one would think people live there because they love and appreciate nature, they routinely throw their fast food trash out the car windows.

Trash leaves trash.

I had lunch in my local memorial gardens today and when I had eaten I passed a bench that covered in food and drink containers. It was about there feet away from a rubbish bin. How un-sociable and lazy is that? I do think that there is a generation of people who think oh it's ok, Mummy will clean up after me.

I live in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. I'm aghast at how I can go pretty deep into the woods, and still find garbage.

Ahhh. You mean like Mr. Trump?

Social media "influencers" distributing false or misleading information and blocking you the second you dare to call them out in the comments

People often confuse honest descriptions of you or the point just made with insults.

When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser.

Well sometimes, when someone says something completely off the wall and you know that whatever you say they'll insist you're wrong, all you can do is say "you're an idiot", and walk away.

It's the Dunning Kruger effect!

Good expression.

In Germany it's normal to drive that fast indeed. And it can be done in a safe way. But given the fact that the manager was shocked, probably says enough about the driving skills and/or style of the driver
