Katie Britt brings her uniquely bad acting skills to the cosplay of genuinely concerned Christian mom calling out Joe Biden for “not standing with Israel” in bringing about the senseless deaths of hundreds of Palestinian children. https://youtu.be/M7rnRJmaWqc?si=llRKK-EdKI-Uv9sd She is so detached ...

I have been reminded by Shades about my lack of punctuation. In a book i read: A panda walks into a café and orders food. The panda eats the food shoots a gun into the ceiling and leaves. The owner calls out "why did you do that?." The Panda calls out "Look it up". Panda bears "eats shoots and leav...

Never heard it worded this way. I can visualise that as making sense. I wouldn't be quick to assume that the east isn't a successful civilisation in its own right. I also wouldn't assume that is is fair (not sure is it should be fare, bit tired), to accuse people who are ignorant or inexperienced a...

The mind is fragile. Numbers can mean one thing to one person and something totally different to another. We can look at the negatives but perhaps there are also positives to consider.

Edit: sorry I read that wrong. Thought you said what do you mean...

Where does one learn these things? I think it all comes under the general umbrella of psychology, but you can find tons of information and examples by reading articles on manipulation in abusive relationships, manipulation in cults, manipulation by con artists and scammers, manipulation by advertis...

Why are people being so sharp and so defensive.

The idea has merit in my mind. I came to the conclusion long ago that life is all about the holes. ;) And so as a result of there always being a kind of gap, that's the gap you know like where the electric spark jumps That's the thing behind your head, behind your eyes that you can never get to loo...
