A sampling of comments and a smattering sense

You really have to give it to people for how simple and stupid they manage to be. That you could turn yourself into someone like this is almost impressive. It's as if you're willing your brain invisible, or willing it away entirely.

What's the real reason why Shedeur Sanders hasn't been drafted yet? It's not because he's a bad Quarterback because his wide receiver got drafted 2nd

What can you know if you're like this? Can you know that water is wet? Can you really? I'm not sure.

It can be hard to understand how stupid we now are. It's not just that we don't know much about anything. It's that we don't know the must basic things about how the most basic things work. We don't get it at all. We don't even have the ability to understand that we don't get it or how we don't get it, let alone what it is.

It's strange how many obese women equate obesity with being "real," as in, "a real woman." Fit people are not real? Or less real because they are fit? Or not obese?

Friday confession:Every time I realize I’m closer to 40 than 30, I feel like the baddest chick alive 🔥Something’s wrong with me, likely 😌🍷Don’t call the cops 🤣🤭

Who are all of these millions and millions of people talking to? Not each other. Not anyone. Not even themselves. Just idiots babbling in the corner (of social media, and life). That is the world now. A series of corners with people looking into those corners and nowhere else and babbling. This is what we're collectively reduced to. It's all we can do and all we are.

Maybe it'd be better to have some concern about this? No? Carry on, then. I'm sure it will be totally fine. I mean, it's going so well already, right?

As for Sanders: He's a second or third string quarterback who is likelier to be out of the NFL than in it in five years. On top of that, you get his dad and consistent distractions, having to manage the nonsense of the news cycle and the desperate vampirism of media types in their obsolete industry whoring for clicks, and for what? Because he leads your franchise for the next ten years? He's not going to do that. He helps you win a Super Bowl? He's not going to do that either.

You can be Black and eat little children and go first overall in the NFL draft if teams think you're that good. You can be white and eat little children and the same goes.

These people really don't care about character or skin color or if you're a criminal. They feed off the glory these players can give them. What they then think is their own glory. If they don't believe a player is going to provide said glory--especially a quarterback--they aren't going to be interested.

People are always like, "I don't do drama!" They think that's a reasonable position, never mind that life, if you actually live it--which, I know, is less than like ten people in the world right now--is inherently dramatic.

But if you believe in the "I don't do drama" thing--and that's just about everyone--wouldn't it seem reasonable not to draft Sanders and if you just say, "Draft him!" then you're a hypocrite? Because having him on your team would produce drama, no? Does the talent offset that drama? Based off of what? His college results? No. Stats? No. Tape? No. So what then? Skin color? The evils of the white man?

Then again, you get your chance in sports, don't you? Because it's a level playing field. If you're good enough, that will be proven. Sanders will get his chance.

If my younger self could see me know……She would wonder why I’m alone now an haven’t found THE ONE 😒😔

I wish it could say it's because you're borderline illiterate, but that's not a deterrent given that most people are.

It is so strange to me how people brag about ADHD and what not. Badge of honor. For this thing they likely do not have, that they wish to be able to say they have, because often they have nothing else and everyone wants a something, because without a something, how are you going to get attention?

Getting attention is what makes the world go 'round, does it not? What's more important than getting attention? Definitely not love, connection, knowing one's self, helping people, art, substance, insight, intelligence, depth, the life well-lived. These people almost always put this in their social media bio. What does a bio say? It's just a few words, right? So you think this is one of the most important things to know about you? What does that say about all that there is to you? And those pronouns. Very important stuff.

And with these two things, you know all that there is to know about that person, because according to them, these are the most important things, and they seem not very important, don't they? And things that in the grand scheme of things, aren't things. Or ever-so-slightly things. Face what needs facing, tear it all down, start over.

I'll wrap this up with one more of these I just saw (I'm waiting for it to stop raining).

Should we draft Qb Sanders? Dad’s going to be a problem.. Let’s pass on that one then. That’s how coaches think. The ability is not the problem it’s the bling and his father‘s mouth. Blessings Son.

Why does no one have any clue how capital letters work? It's not like putting salt--because I feel as a guy like this is a big fan of sodium--on your food; that is, a case of however the fuck much you want. Here's the bio:

God chaser life speaker music maker esteem builder

Next to his name, he wrote--that is, like an extension of his name--"I have to do it for the Kingdom." (Again with the damn salt. Doesn't work that way, chief.) Oh. That sounds reasonable. Doubtless another exemplar of stability.

It's always something like that. I don't think there is anything else. Just babbling in that corner. Babble babble babble.

By the way--and we'll get into this later--but the more interesting you are, the more fascinating people find you, the funnier, the more insightful, the more people can look up to you, the more they wish they knew what you know or said what you said, the fewer followers you will have, the fewer likes, and all of that. That's what people should be aiming for. That's the mark of these things. Traits, qualities. Truths. Right now, large follows, a plethora of likes, are indicative of the opposite of these things. That's how it works. Can no one really see this?

If someone posts, "The Beatles was great!" and I post something I know about the Beatles, which no one else does, expressed in a way that no one can express anything else, that's clever and incisive--special--what do you think happens? The first post gets 5000 likes. The second by me gets none. Why is that? It's because anyone could have made the first post, and only one person could have made the second. All of the people who could have made the first post feel good about that. It's comforting. Knowing that you can't do something--that is mentally based (because we all use our minds, to whatever degree, whereas we don't all shoot three-pointers in the NBA)--isn't comforting.

It often takes someone very secure in themselves to be okay with it. To not feel threatened. They don't feel lesser because they view the other person as separate from them, not in competition--a competition of worthiness and smartness--with them. This is the basis of success now. It's why what's successful is always mediocre shit. People think it's reason to be ashamed if few people hit that like button.

Look: You can go online and support Shannon Sharpe at fifty-whatever having sex with a teenager, and you'll get plenty of support. You can say anything stupid, base, wrong, evil. There will be likes. Right? There's nothing so simple, so evil, so poorly expressed, so dumb, that people won't hit that like button for it.

But something intelligent? That they don't know or couldn't come up with? And not because they don't understand--but because they do. There will be less for that, and often nothing. The smarter, the less. As a general rule. The more interesting, the less. The funnier, the less. The kinder, the less. The more honest/authentic (which is to say, not performative), the less.
