Depending on what you meant by “very easily impressed with basic factual statements” it could go either way. I’m an adult and I’m happy to admit I don’t know a lot things, sometimes I’ve been stunned that what I believed was totally wrong and all it took was some to give me a basic fact to make me realise.
Be boring rather than arrogant. If they ask what you did this weekend or what you’re doing later just say nothing really or watching TV and relaxing. Few words answers, when the conversation isn’t flowing naturally they will just think you’re boring and leave you alone.
Obviously this might not work for everyone but it’s worked for me everytime.
Rock wool, ignoring it’s insulating properties, I’m forced to believe was created by the devil himself.
My partners best friend was dating a guy very briefly. She called it off because on day 3 of just getting to know each other he started sending her nudes and rubbing himself with inflated balloons and videos of him humping. That guy has a balloon fetish.
I don’t think the balloons are what killed the short lived relationship so much as the boldness of thinking she wanted those videos/pictures.
If I’m not mistaken it was originally to describe Italian immigrants during whatever period of time (world war 1 maybe?) and it was a acronym for Without Papers. As in not having a visa.
I could be mistaken though, I read that once from one source so not really done any due diligence.
I’m not that young and optimistic tbh, it sounds like you’ve just been dealt a tough hand in life and hope you can get through it one day. Truly.
That’s fair, I’m sorry that you’ve been through what you have, but you made a heavy generalisation that people don’t change, my experience is that they can and do.
Strong disagree on people not changing, my partners brother was a heavy alcoholic at 30 and he’s now 5 years sober and has children and hasn’t touched a drop. He relapsed in his first week and nearly died.
People can change, they just have to want to. Of course this isn’t applicable to all but generalising your situation to everyone isn’t helpful to people in these positions.
On the flip side so show that I understand people not changing, her uncle has currently lost his family and maybe soon his job. Every time the kids are due to be with him he’s completely shitfaced and the adult dropping them off refuses to give them to him in that condition and that still isn’t enough for him to want to change. I bet he has seen his own children for over a year. He is constantly lying and we think he owes money to people because he’s usually in a bit of a roughed up state. It’s sad but until he wants it there’s nothing anyone can do.
Her brother is still a testament to the way people can better themselves though.

I think this one suits me most without sounding like I’m blowing my own trumpet.
I would include that my common sense is brutally lacking. I would also say that I’m happy with short answers but I’m emotionally stunted enough to consider everything without too much bias.
Only time I’ve had something like this can be easily explained by a prank but it just doesn’t seem like it was.
Worked on a site that had fire damage, old student accommodation that was being demolished but needed to have all the gas appliances decommissioned and removed. The site had a security guard and the plot of land was fenced off unless security gave you access. Me and the 2 other lads I was working with were in the room with the worst fire damage, black soot up what was left of the walls, windows shattered etc.
We were just talking, when a shrill scream echoed through all the corridors. All of the hairs on my body stood on end, the three of us must’ve had the same feeling because we all ran out of that building quick as fuck and didn’t go back in. Luckily our work was done in that particular building.
I would’ve said it was probably the security guy having us on because we got along with him while we were there but I just don’t see how a guy with his voice and stature could’ve made such a loud high pitched noise, it sounded distant at first but carried as if someone was screaming in the same room as us.
Sometimes I do the whole excited idea thing only to realize I was excited for an idea I have absolutely no recollection of. They might’ve worked, I could’ve been the next Nobel prize winner but dream world robbed me.
I miss YouTube haiku’s
Dean Ween / Mickey Melchiondo is part of the band if that’s a selling point for anyone.
I was a stoner teen, napoleon dynamite was hilarious so I watched it so many times.
Is exactly what the American people should be doing
