It blew my mind that a friend who had a college degree and had been in the military could barely count or add. We were playing blackjack and he literally had to count the symbols on cards to figure out how much he had in his hand. I think it's so easy to cheat your way through school now that people aren't learning basic skills.

I played Trivial Pursuit with my partner’s niece and nephew over Christmas. They had trouble pronouncing many bigger words. They’re 20 and 16. I think it’s a couple of things; because of the internet kids don’t read for pleasure as much growing up, or at all. Also, the pandemic stalled their in class learning for a couple years.

Pushing your tongue hard against your palate also works pretty good.

A great Irish man recently told me "those that matter, don't mind, and those that mind, don't matter" The people that should matter to you, won't mind your strange proclivities and eccentricities. A beautifully simple phrase to me.

Pretty much everything you read is going to be written at a sixth grade level, because it's written to the lowest common reading level

The bad part is people overestimate their own abilities

Purposeful so that people like George Santos can eventually hold some type of political office.

Sneezing feels to good, I'm not holding back for anyone/thing

You sneeze wherever and whenever. LPT

Did I say only use your hand?

You’re not a smart person. ✌🏼

I agree, everyone is unique and has their own quirks and interests that make them "weird" in one way or another. Embracing your individuality and what brings you joy is important for self-acceptance and happiness. And it's true that people who judge others for being different may have their own insecurities or issues to work through.

That's the real LPT here.

A Famous Saying: Everyone is normal - until you get to know them.

I do, but if you think it is all contained in your hand then maybe learn about how aerosols and pressure differentials work.

You will die when you are killed

Those that hate you for being weird/yourselves are either inexperienced/narrow minded or they were themselves shit on for being weird once and internalized the criticism, which is sadder imo

Bahahahahahaha!!!!!

I tell my students that life is too short to be normal. But sometimes you have to find people who are the same brand of weird as you before you can let it all out, lol.

we’re all a little weird, some more than others
