A STUPID POST

People who think YOU are stupid.

 To me, whether on here or other channels, or in the real world, nothing amuses me more that people who assume I am stupid.

 I am sure this happens to most of YOU as well.

 People knocking on my door, hoping to convert me to their religion. People begging for money to buy "food" when there is a liquor store across the street.

 Online, people pretending to be friendly to you while ridiculing you when they think you aren't paying attention.

 OR, trolling, my favorite form of stupidity, because the trolls think YOU are the stupid one so they can get their jollies out of trying to make you look stupid.

 AND YET.... AN YET....

 People are stupid, sorry to say it out loud, but they are.

 They will believe that vaccines don't work, they will deny science, they believe the world is only 6000 years old, they will believe what this politician or that political leader tells them, they will believe one religion is more evil than another, but they won't believe in Santa Claus (I mean, how stupid is that?)

 They also believe THEIR views on life, on the world, on politics, on religion, are the ONLY right views. Everyone else is wrong. WORSE - everyone else is stupid.

 Imagine the irony, stupid people believing everyone else is stupid.

 SO - why do I enforce rules against calling anyone stupid?

 Because assuming someone is stupid is stupid in itself. However, the person you call stupid may very well BE stupid. BUT assuming someone is stupid is making A ASS out of U and ME.

 Nothing is more insulting, to me at least, than being taken as stupid. You can call me a SNOWFLAKE and I am fine with that, hell, I rather be called a dumb ass commie socialist than being called stupid, but WORSE: being treated like I am stupid.

 SO in conclusion, don't let people do stupid on you. IGNORE THEM. Responding to those who do stupid on you is a stupid thing to do, make them look stupid by:
ignoring them, or using a sense of humor, after all, nothing riles a stupid person more than when they try to make you look stupid and you laugh it off with humor.

 NOW you can all respond to this stupid little tirade with stupid comments of your own, or you can make light of it and post some stupid memes, sort of like this one:


 OR you can highlight what kind of stupid people irk you the most, or how YOU respond when someone takes YOU for stupid.

 WE can be serious about this or use this thread to spread some humor (rather than stupidity)

 HAVE FUN!

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Image
Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
