Society & Culture Things you do/did that you probably think no one else does

[Procrastinator35]

youve got to be kidding?!

the brain power of bigfooty are the conspiracy theorists in the conspiracy and mysteries/etc board.

also....all the regulars who argue incessantly in all the Star Wars threads.

Nah-ah.

My WW1 British Empire/NWO thread in the QT board, is far superior to any riff-raff that passes for serious consideration on the conspiracy board of late....At least, since the days of the 9/11 thread anyhow.

We're talking one big mozza-ball of string being pulled apart & pieced back together into one coherent historical narrative.

You know it.

If it's brain-food you're after, then I suggest you try the Question Time board threads, beneath the SRP one.....We could utilise a few more thinkers in there, rather than just meme posters, who imagine that their milk-toast ideology packs any punch whatsoever.

Must admit, I do get sucked in to the SRP board occasionally, but there's too many closed minds there. Too much "telling", not enough questioning.

Hmm, maybe the question time thing could appeal to me though.

Also, as GG noted....The conspiracy board can be a good place for opening one's mind & questioning society's generalised assumptions.

The SRP bored is a cesspit of homogenised brain-dead zombies, doing laps of circle-work.....Saying 'Look at me, I can do the back-stroke way better than you can'.

Look, there's a ton of smart people on the SRP/QT board, truly educated, or, you could call the phenomenon "regurgitated photographic memory of institutionalized knowledge". One COULD say "pseudo intellectuals". I propose to you that there is a big difference between intellectualism and wisdom.

Brain food is available from every thread on every board on this forum.
You can always read something you have never experienced. You can always read something that is so far out of your hemisphere and mindset that it surprises you. You can always read something which is beyond utterly asinine.
Its all the unknown. And you learn from the unknown always but dont have to abide by it, agree with it or fill the puke bucket with your reaction to it.
Listening(reading in this case) is the best educator.

See people! Wisdom right there oozing.
I was just stirring the pot (kinda) before, I just the SRP/QT board is a bit up itself, intellectuals throwing regurgitated education back and forth at each other in like an upper-class English accent, high on their own air.
And yes, I agree with you.....if you go elsewhere, anywhere outside that stifled air of the SRP/QT board, where real people talk real with each other, you find billions of really engaging, intelligent, wise, humorous people and discussions going on.

That's probably the best thing about bigfooty….It offers a good variety of topics & a broad spectrum of people with which to interact & converse with, that you otherwise may not.

If that means that people read & interact more, as they become more active in their topics of interest, then that can only be a good thing.....We are after all, a gregarious species by nature.....The bigfooty community.

Of course, some of us are misanthropic philosophical hermits....But that's another story altogether.

The pity is that you can't get this in real life. People steer clear of each other, don't look at each other, don't engage each other. They ward themselves off from other people (phones, whatever), and a lot of putting up barriers with people based on looks, clothes, age, sex, race, etc. Whereas online, everyone is just a mind/personality, there's no superficial fences, people can open up and engage.

True. Its the unfortunate trade-off. An unprecedented time where we can converse with anyone from any geographical location and of any persuasion outside our own norms.. But in largely still a secular fashion which is inhibiting in its own right cos it denies the crucial aspect of physical interaction with all the nuances and cues and socialisation that face to face provides .But that has its own set of inherent distortions.
Trick is to keep listening and learning but realise the pros and cons of each method of communications.

I sweep water down the plughole with my foot when I turn the shower off just so the floor in there dries that little bit quicker.

When you send a client some information via email and it has you name within the email address and sign off with your name. Then get a return email saying Hi Someothername. Are you really that dumb?

I love cold toast.

Not days old but like 15-20 mins resting.

The butter doesnt melt and the toast goes hard. Mmmm

Have known Dad's who've actually been asked to leave the parent's rooms by "concerned" mums whilst midway through a nappy changing

That's an absolute disgrace. If it was me, I'd just point to the "parents" sign on the door before telling them to GAGF!

Because this happens so much to me, i make a point of checking the persons name before i hit send. Surely this is a common courtesy?

Its the equivalent of someone calling you by the wrong name face to face.

People are just lazy campaigners basically. I have a double letter in my surname and people always spell it with a single, no one ever checks.

I did this today to my manager who approved my annual leave

It's just I've been really struggling at work for the better part of a month and REALLY need the time off ASAP. And was very relived to finally get it!
