2021-04-07 at 5:19 AM UTC in What are you thinking about....The patients that people say are so mean those people are literally never ever like that with me...
People try to write it off as me wearing a flower in my hair everyday..like ohh nobody wants to be mean to a lil short girl wearing a flower in her hair ..That’s what my coworkers say ...and they also write me off as just an overly sweet person
But it’s not that lol
It’s because they know what’s up
They know my heart as soon as they experience my care
People know as soon as they look in my eyes
But people don’t think like that.. and that’s exactly why ..they get the reaction or respond that they get ..and I get the reaction or respond that I get ...
And I’m apparently extremely gentle..I’ve really been hearing that a lot lately...
*tokes*
So when I got report this afternoon they said this lady was unresponsive to people all morning ..this is a lady that almost everyone sees as mean and she has literally never been anything but kind to me and told me a lot about her life..
So anyway im thinking ..damn unresponsive wtf..I know she sick but damn
I’m lowkey nervous about goin in there at that point ..
When I get to her room shortly after report..I go to her bed and I’m all walking to the bed slow like ..
Hey Donna....and she opened her eyes and looked at me then said hey to me and then started rambling about random stuff ...
And I’m just thinking..unresponsive huh..yeah..she unresponsive to y’all ..The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Seriously, How Dumb Is Trump?
For more than a year now, I’ve been hearing from people in the inner circles of official Washington – GOP lobbyists, Republican pundits, even a few Republican members of Congress – that Donald Trump is remarkably stupid.
I figured they couldn’t be right because really stupid people don’t become presidents of the United States. Even George W. Bush was smart enough to hire smart people to run his campaign and then his White House.
Several months back when Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called Trump a “f—king moron,” I discounted it. I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to serve in a president’s cabinet, and I’ve heard members of other president’s cabinets describe their bosses in similar terms.
Now comes “Fire and Fury,” a book by journalist Michael Wolff, who interviewed more than 200 people who dealt with Trump as a candidate and president, including senior White House staff members.
In it, National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster calls Trump a “dope.” Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus both refer to him as an “idiot.” Rupert Murdoch says Trump is a “f—king idiot.”
Trump’s chief economic adviser Gary Cohn describes Trump as “dumb as sh-t,” explaining that “Trump won’t read anything — not one-page memos, not the brief policy papers; nothing. He gets up halfway through meetings with world leaders because he is bored.”
When one of Trump’s campaign aides tried to educate him about the Constitution, Trump couldn’t focus. “I got as far as the Fourth Amendment,” the aide recalled, “before his finger is pulling down on his lip and his eyes are rolling back in his head.”
Trump doesn’t think he’s stupid, of course. As he recounted, “I went to an Ivy League college … I did very well. I’m a very intelligent person.”
Yet Trump wasn’t exactly an academic star. One of his professors at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business and Finance purportedly said that he was “the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.”
Trump biographer Gwenda Blair wrote in 2001 that Trump was admitted to Wharton on a special favor from a “friendly” admissions officer who had known Trump’s older brother.
But hold on. It would be dangerous to underestimate this man.
Even if Trump doesn’t read, can’t follow a logical argument, and has the attention span of a fruit fly, it still doesn’t follow that he’s stupid.
There’s another form of intelligence, called “emotional intelligence.”
Emotional intelligence is a concept developed by two psychologists, John Mayer of the University of New Hampshire, and Yale’s Peter Salovey, and it was popularized by Dan Goleman in his 1996 book of the same name.
Mayer and Salovey define emotional intelligence as the ability to do two things – “understand and manage our own emotions,” and “recognize and influence the emotions of others.”
Granted, Trump hasn’t displayed much capacity for the first. He’s thin-skinned, narcissistic, and vindictive.
As dozens of Republican foreign policy experts put it, “he is unable or unwilling to separate truth from falsehood. He does not encourage conflicting views. He lacks self-control and acts impetuously. He cannot tolerate criticism.”
OK, but what about Mayer and Salovey’s second aspect of emotional intelligence – influencing the emotions of others?
This is where Trump shines. He knows how to manipulate people. He has an uncanny ability to discover their emotional vulnerabilities – their fears, anxieties, prejudices, and darkest desires – and use them for his own purposes.
To put it another way, Trump is an extraordinarily talented conman.
He’s always been a conman. He conned hundreds of young people and their parents into paying to attend his near worthless Trump University. He conned banks into lending him more money even after he repeatedly failed to pay them. He conned contractors to work for them and then stiffed them.
Granted, during he hasn’t always been a great conman. Had he been, his cons would have paid off.
By his own account, in 1976, when Trump was starting his career, he was worth about $200 million, much of it from his father. Today he says he’s worth some $8 billion. If he’d just put the original $200 million into an index fund and reinvested the dividends, he’d be worth $12 billion today.
But he’s been a great political conman. He conned 62,979,879 Americans to vote for him in November 2016 by getting them to believe his lies about Mexicans, Muslims, African-Americans, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and all the “wonderful,” “beautiful” things he’d do for the people who’d support him.
And he’s still conning most of them.
Political conning is Trump’s genius. It’s this genius – when combined with his utter stupidity in every other dimension of his being – that poses the greatest danger to America and the world.
And...this was written before the whole "Contributiongate" scandal where Trump grifted extra payment from his own unsuspecting donors without their knowledge or approval.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2021-03-17 at 4:35 PM UTC in capitalism vs communism
Originally posted by Joseph R. Biden Jr, 46th President of the United States of America They have nothing to do with anything useful or relevant to society at all, that's my point.
"They" haven't failed or succeeded. They never happened and they never will because either would be completely retarded in the context of the real world.
Any critique of any system in history cannot happen through these lenses. Not the collapse of the USSR, not the successes of China, not the power of America or it's failure to provide for the least wealthy members of its society.
It is just mental masturbation. You might as well be arguing Goku vs Superman: there's no fact of the matter because it is a category error, like there is no fact of the matter about whether or not Sherlock Holmes has a birthmark on the underside of his left testicle… It's a fictional character, such a mark was never mentioned so it was never confirmed or denied but that doesn't mean there actually is a fact of whether it exists or not.
I think a lot of people are aware of 'pure communism being impossible' but aren't aware of the same for capitalism. In Smith's capitalism there is literally no inheritance. Imagine fathers not passing down money to their sons. That is pure capitalism.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Masks should just be the new norm eventualy our bodies will evolve from co2 poison and become immune and we can live in self contained suits in space like the Quarians.
