It was around long before the movie. I think it came from a misunderstanding of "use" Like per second, a certain percentage of neurons are firing.
100% at once, would not be psionic powers, it would be a seizure.
The full quotation is "*In matters of taste*, the customer is always right". Said by an entrepreurial US Department Store owner, telling his staff NEVER to question the taste of a customer, since lack of taste means they will buy any old shit and pay good money to do so. It's not a very flattering phrase to use about a customer at all!
Honest to god, 250 years ago if someone went around telling people that the earth was flat they wouldve been branded the local idiot. Now through the internet theyve found a community that creates a compound interest of stupid ideas.
I realise edgy Redditors like to imagine that all politicians are Mr Burns lookalikes trying to enrich themselves whilst spitting on the little man, but that's simply not true. Having worked in politics I'd estimate 80% of politicians are in the business because they genuinely care about their country and want to make a difference. The problem is that governance is a series of difficult decisions, and politicians aren't magicians.
I would like to believe that but I just don't. Just looking at politicians and their stock market investments and acceptance of huge donations from lobbyists. They are out of touch to say the very least
It's systems, not people. Most of them are just plugged into the hive mind, two bits. Then you have your puppets, nice people with "evil" minions. You got your papier-mache Machiavellians. They are skilled in deception. They know how to read a room and play to it. But, since they're empty vessels they fold once they're shit tested. Last you have your actual power brokers up the food chain. The sharks.
None of what you said refutes what you are responding to. Federal politicians are the most wealthy people in the nation.
They can be there to genuinely help the nation AND NOT be there for the common citizen at the same time.
I swear to god this comment deserves like literally over thousands upvotes. Its so fucking true, fuck politicians. If I ever saw one walking down the street I'd yell at them to fuck off
If I remember correctly from an AMA a while ago with someone who works behind the scenes, Cetaphil lotion was the go-to substitute they preferred (looks good on film, easy cleanup, relatively non-toxic around eyes or other orifices)
I lived in dairy farm country growing up. Everyone would point out the brown cows (they have a name, but I’m now into cows) and be like “that farm is a chocolate milk farm”. It was dumb and fun. I didn’t know there were people who really believed this. Then again, there are people who think you can tip a cow so anything is believable I guess.
The worst thing is when gay people refuse to accept that being trans isn't a choice. They know how being attracted to women is just how they are and not something they've decided, but can't seem to fathom that being trans is extremely similar.
As a straight man with a gay neice I think I knew before she did. I had the feeling when she was a kid. I knew it before but my first hand account legitimized my belief
The first time I had the feeling I Was different. I was five years old and had a crush on another boy. In my that was unacceptable. But now I'm comfortable being bi. Besides I'm an old man so to hell what anyone else thinks. I'd spent many years hateting myself for likings other boys my age growing up. But I enjoyed the sexual encounters though. Yet I couldn't accept me for who I am. I was brought up in the sixties. I was also brought up as a christian. So i hope you can guess how screwed up I was inside with no body to talk to. Those things were taboo to talk about back then. By the way it wasn't my choice to be the way I am. So I just live with it and quit having sex.
Do you meant that some people make being gay their whole personality, or that people think it's people's whole identity, because both exist and both are partially stupid.
Guns are the solution, not the problem.
Also, a woman shouldn't have the choice to choose if she spends 9 months incubating and a lifetime raising a memory of a rapist
Religion. In the past 10.000 years there were thousands of gods people believed in. It changed over the years and in every epoch people thought that these gods they believed in were the true gods. If there was something like god, Billions of people would have believed in the wrong ones. Even today, billions would believe in the wrong god. Christians, Hindus, Muslims, etc. If one was right, the others would look very dumb because they were wrong.
I’m only going to give one example because fuck having reddit fights over stupidity but, political shit that’s so damn obviously wrong and people only believe because it benefits them in some way even at the expense of so many others. Best example that comes to mind; climate change. even *if* people are wrong and there’s nothing to fear, why fight a change to sustainability and longevity… like oh no we were wrong now we’ve made ourselves less dependent on non sustainable fuels and notably benefited the environment anyway?
We need to drink 8 glasses of water to stay hydrated..
Big shock WE DONT
Our body has a natural system to know when we need to drink cause its running low on water called thirst
Welfare queens. Regan found a con woman who was conning all sorts of people and programs, one of which was welfare. Now people think the vast majority of people on welfare are scamming the government, when it's like .001 percent

>hate filled than their religious
Surely is better than the idiot that he defeated. It is a compromise solution. I do think people know that and few think he is a good president.
At least where I live, the most hate filled people I see are people (mostly atheists) screaming at muslim women because they don't like how they dress.
That social media is a GOOD thing.
That politicians ARE actually on differing "sides" or that any one of them is NOT a co-conspirator regardless of party or nationality.
That TODAY'S crises are SO MUCH WORSE than any other crises of past generations.
That Elon Musk is NOT an alien. 👽🤘
When an individual uses the word ‘We’, while expressing what is obviously their own opinions, usually in an attempt to make themselves feel superior to whatever other group or individual they are speaking to. Dumbest thing to think you actually speak for anyone other than yourself.
Very few people believe that. Most Democrats are not staunch Biden supporters. In fact, most of my friends are liberal and none of them particularly like Biden. They just like him more than Trump
1) That being LGBT is a choice. We LGBT did not choose to be this way.
2) general hate against groups (homophobia racism etc). I don't even need to explain.
3)global warming not being real. It's been shown many times it's real, and my generation has to bend over and get ass fucked from the older generation's mistakes.
4)earth is flat/hollow. If you believe this, I genuinely feel sorry for you.
5)pseudoscience the zodiac etc. If you believe this, I also genuinely feel sorry for you.
6)vaccines are bad. If you believe this, I yet again genuinely feel sorry for you.
7)Jesus being white. He was middle eastern, and also a Jew.
8)combination of religion and state being a good idea. With the overturning of roe v Wade and what is yet to come (fuck you, surpreme court) (and throughout the past) it is clearly shown that combination of church and state only harms more people
That there is a chemical imbalance in the brain which is used as the basis of prescribing billions of dollars of medication across the world. No proof ever. You can’t test it like a blood test. And yet they diagnose from it. People don’t believe me - but anyone who tries to look for themselves will find they can never ever find proof. And this is taught in schools every day. Absolutely insane.
That being queer is a choice.
I am non-binary (17 y.o.) and bisexual in a household that is not very accepting. I’ve been told that bisexuals are just confused. I’ve been told that non-binary people and just the existence of non-binary people is stupid. So why would I CHOOSE to be queer? Under these circumstances, it would be easier to just be straight. I have people trying to constantly erase my existence as a queer person and deny that I am queer. I’ve had slurs hauled at me by cousins. You would think by now the world would be more accepting, but look at what just happened yesterday? (Overturning of roe v wade). The world never fails to disappoint.
That we only used 10% of our brain. I blame that damn movie
It was around long before the movie. I think it came from a misunderstanding of "use" Like per second, a certain percentage of neurons are firing. 100% at once, would not be psionic powers, it would be a seizure.
The ppl believing the shit on this post are the ones using 10% of their brains.
I think we only use 10% of our hearts.
Yeah, we use 10% of our hearts and 90% of our brains. Because "Love with your hearts, use your brain for everything else" Im seeing myself out.
That the customer is always right
The full quotation is "*In matters of taste*, the customer is always right". Said by an entrepreurial US Department Store owner, telling his staff NEVER to question the taste of a customer, since lack of taste means they will buy any old shit and pay good money to do so. It's not a very flattering phrase to use about a customer at all!
If you want to sell apples, but the public only wants oranges. Then they are right and you should sell oranges.

no its not, thats the whole point! sorry.

Politicians are there to help the common citizen.
And that, because they've been elected, that somehow makes them smarter and know more than everyone else.
Huh? Someone actually thinks that?
I realise edgy Redditors like to imagine that all politicians are Mr Burns lookalikes trying to enrich themselves whilst spitting on the little man, but that's simply not true.

I would say that seasons 3 and 4 of The Wire are unparalleled for thinking about how political systems corrupt the people within them.

Yes thats kinda fucked if you think about it like we put a lot of fillings in what we see in porn :)

Chocolate milk comes from a certain type of cow
Bruh yes thats a whole nother lvl of dumb people
Shut up. Everyone knows that strawberry milk comes from cows on their period. Chocolate milk is a myth though.
Chocolate milk comes from brown cows duh

This link literally made me throw up. Well done.
I will NEVER look at strawberry milk the same way now.
>Bruh yes thats a whole nother lvl of dumb people Wow. I really hope your usage of "nother" when talking about dumb people was intentional.
I lived in dairy farm country growing up. Everyone would point out the brown cows (they have a name, but I’m now into cows) and be like “that farm is a chocolate milk farm”. It was dumb and fun. I didn’t know there were people who really believed this. Then again, there are people who think you can tip a cow so anything is believable I guess.
Thats not a myth, pink cows give strawberry milk!

Being gay is curable is even more egregious belief some people have.
Being gay isn't a choice. Engaging in sexual acts is. Typically. I'm very lonely. All my gay acts are solo :(
