Many exist in life; and in fact, provide clues for the study of causal hypotheses in much of science.
Here's one. The less validly formally educated, the greater the need to dis others on their alleged levels of intelligence. Use of words like fool. amateur, etc.
It is likely similar, dynamically, to the overuse of words like Racism, Sexism, and the "phobias", so often seen among those of certain political persuasions, while signaling great personal virtue.. Also seems to go along with the need to bully, especially on physical characteristics of others, or, say, skills, such as the ability to use language. Often used by some in certain crafts, about which there are deeply feared questions on personal competence.
Easy to detect, from the volume and intensity of the displays. Often stridently put forth, so there's rarely little chance for missing it.
Rarely not a hoot to see. Enjoy it regularly right here on CS.

When my husband and I were more newly married; one evening... he asked me what I wanted to do the next day. I said don't know. He said, well..aren't there things you want to do. I said yes. But..will get up in morning and see who broke out, what fell down, what broke..and that is what I will do. And if really lucky, might get to do something I want.
Sound asleep yesterday am cause didn't sleep til 3 am. Phone ringing... it is 8am! Answered and it was my tenant. He said huge limb fell and is resting on electric line to barn..what to do.
Said be right down. Got up and dressed and headed below.
He was firing up chainsaw. I said do you have rubber soles, yep..gloves...have pair for cutting. We went up to it. 8 inch diameter at least, elbow resting on ground, base hung on line maybe 6 inches. He trimmed branches which I dragged to brush pile behind barn. I said cut up, not down. He cut some. I said keep cutting, it will bounce off line. It did. Pulled insulator off tree, but line looks OK. Tore a piece of fascia off bodyshop but small and not into roof hardly. Something else to fix.
I said thanks load to dad's memory. Mom told him to cut that tree and he said, oh, can use the shade. Now I have a huge maple that is over shop and barn and lines.
Spent the rest of the day working around. Helped tenant unload two truck loads of wood into my woodshed.
Ask me why I hate waking up!

its better to be born a bit crazy ..becose when you do go crazy .people wont .notice it so much TERENCE

...for US pols who have never held a real job, nor ran a real business, nor met a real payroll. No, corruption for family members over seas doesn't count. As with affirmative action Hussein O (Communist organizer, fake law prof, VERY fake, author---via Ghost real writers, and two term do nothing POTUS), and creepy Joe Alzheimer's (almost forty years in the US Senate, after graduating ranked bottom in law school class), few useful job skills. With the great employment scene under the current Brilliant keep promises President, all sorts of new jobs need vacancies filled. All have seen those yellow school busses,in their hundreds of thousands. Well, someone has to lubricate and rust treat underneath them,---commercial ones as well. The Voters and DNC have arranged for Comrade Bernard to be the first on the job. Even helpfully throwing him right into his new real work role.

I see this morning the cause of death for Australian actor/musician Harry Hains is listed as fentanyl intoxication.
His mother Jane Badler stated he battled addiction and struggled with mental illness.
“He was 27 and had the world at his feet.”

He joins the ranks of other famous 27 Club members like Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse, Brian Jones...

Much of what we have learned of ancient Rome came from their coins. Their coins documented a lot about ancient Rome's existence.

If the U.S. takes a crap, it is a good thing they documented a lot on our coins too. Good job.

Go out side and people are doing their daily exercises around the river or getting out of the house.
Even though our city hasnt been directly affected by the virus yet.

17 cases with negative results I believe in whanganui area.

I mean I have a cold but it comes and goes like the wind. All it takes for me is a nice hot cup of lemon and or sitting out in the sun for a bit to warm up my back.I have a low immunity at the moment. so catching a cold for me comes easily.

Just sharing my little experience of the whole situation. Im a game freak introvert. So isolation comes naturally for me lol.

Been there, and done that, on my own, of the latter. Just look at my rides/sails/lifestyle.. Digressing as I go.

So, now we have so called quarter life crises, which some, but certainly not all, may quetsch about, between the ages of 20 and mid 30's. Variously described, poorly, by some effete alt left juniorversity faculty, on the road to nowhere publications, and cheap academic promotion. But at the Vierk Institute, we'll gladly chirp in. Especially when not at all asked to do so. Always at your servicing, folks.

First of all, it seems to present in a restricted group of younger folks. Don't look for it in the offspring of more working class parents. Or in youngsters choosing the trades, or military, over the glory of costly, debt inducing, beer soaked university years. Seems to sprout up more in liberal parenting situations. It is reported to be a deep sense of ennui, often whined about as, "I used to feel locked out (jobs, boy friend, kids), but now I feel locked in (jobs, wifey, kids)." Clearly essentially intracultural, and, social media scrutiny, and the economies, might contribute, in their minds, at least. It can often follow a disappointment at work, or in love, evolving to life in a basement room, or couch, at Mommy's. Worse, when substances are involved, these moves can be from Park Avenue, to park bench. Blinded, are these sad cases, by parents', and other herd expectations. No religion, but all will swear to being deeply spiritual sentient beings.

Well, our behavioral health team, yes, the same folks who gave you the Trump Derangement, and other liberal syndromes, have come up with our own understanding of things. For starters, it doesn't deserve the status of "Syndrome", not to mention "disease/illness". Such nosologic titles only serve to increase, allegedly, the incidence/prevalence of the beast (hey, Epid terms, these). We recall, with Mona Lisa knowing smiles, entities like "multiple personality, p*nis envy and schizophrenogenic mum "disorders. Not to mention every second surviving birth winding up on the autism spectrum.

With such a sophisticated audience here, just naming a few related concepts will stimulate thought and understanding of what's really up. The concept of universal suffering and self love, from our Buddhist friends. Being grateful, grounded and helpful, as in the halls of AA. Good old fashioned independence/individuation struggles, held over from adolescence, where they really belong, from the child psychiatrists. Useless as these wannabe docs usually are. Confusion over success versus happiness, stoked by expectations of perfect lives, from the stoic philosophers. And probably a few more---help us out.

These kids mostly grew up where every one was a winner, where every member of even a loosing team got trophies, and so on. Thanks, muchly, liberal teachers. Who is really surprised? How about, Millennial Snowflake "they didn't make me bank president after a week of work", condition? Can't make any of these rants up, my devoted followers. Even those threatening physical violence, after misunderstanding what's right under their noses. Thank the Goddess we didn't have to face Tojo, the Hun or a Blitz, with these folks in uniform.

Song from Red Dead 2 game...May I stand unshaken amidst the crash of worlds.
Best words ever. Anyone who is approaching or into old age has seen many worlds crash around them. Children have a view of how life is, should be and will be for them. And then they get B slapped. How seldom does life turn out the way expected.
I see life as a river you float down. Sometimes you rest on a lush island. Sometimes the flood carries you and maybe even over a falls. With luck you survive and float on again. Very few people get to live their life on a lush island and some end up dying going over a falls.
My dad was born in another era. All the changes he went through in life is mind boggling. He lived through the Spanish flu and never even talked about it!? Went from gas lights to electricity, horse era to autos. Radios to TVs.
When I think life is tough, I remember what he and mom lived through and say I have no comparison.
I feel sorry for the spoiled young of today. Sheltered from adversity, spoiled and told the world is awaiting them, they run head on into the real world and bury themselves in drugs or suicide. They grow up with no coping skills. Death is hidden except on video games where they can always reset. The first time they are told no, they flip out.
My parents had the means to spoil me. I know mom was an easier mark. But, they knew the rest of the world didn't care. And it was their job to say no more than yes. Make me think..do I really want that. Teach me that money takes work and spend and save wisely.
So many lessons we old folks were taught are gone. So many skills we learned are fading into obscurity.
I am surprised by the kindness shown in this time of plague. But, see already the greed factor kicking in, lead by corporations ticked off cause profits are falling. I hate the phrase..oh I love it. No, I don't love foods or cars or clothes. I only love special people. I may really like materials goods, but, reserve love for humans and animals and the earth.
We face a crash of worlds. What will next year prove we are?

what happened to respect, ,please , thank you ect ect ,, have been replaced by foul language..
has cursing become the norm ,,parents regularly curse in front of their children , and then wonder why their kids grow up being so disrespectful ,,
and not only young people have adopted this way of life ,i have seen many videos of older people that seem to think cursing at some one gets the point across..
ok i have sworn at times grrrr but only at myself at getting something wrong or hitting my finger when i should have been hitting a nail,,
and before people start to shout the odds ,,yes this is more of a western thing ,, has foul language become the first language i wonder,,
do i respect a woman that swears ,not a chance , it is neither feminine nor right,, the same as i do not respect any man that swears in front of a woman or child,,
