@MissAdventurous the misunderstood texting one can easily be applied to these forums lol
@pmvines re: Key & Peele texting ~ This fully captures the reasoning behind my fear of being misunderstood through messaging and the consequences of the occasional 🐿🌪 that whips around my mind wreaking havoc.
~ And it's hilarious!
A good rule of thumb is to imagine the recipient will deliberately try to interpret one's message in the most adversarial way possible.
If we can't communicate well by writing, then humankind has lost about 5,000 years of development.
@geoff1000
Oh no! I alone may be responsible for 5,000 years of lost communication development?! Nooooooooo!
~ Seems about right though. Throughout the day I use stick-figure drawings to help the kids I work with understand my words. So if I'm taking us back to when drawing on walls was how stories were told ~ I'll finally be held in high regard and have no reason to question my ability to be understood. ~ YES!!!
OK, heavy on the cute factor here, but allow me one. I saw someone playing Animal Crossing the other day. For part of the game, you wind up collecting different critters. They just released a diver mod, allowing for such locally on-topic silliness:
A geology lecturer is explaining how particles of different sizes pack together. He takes a large transparent cylinder and fills it with gravel. "is the container full ?" he asks. Some students agree. The lecturer then tips in some fine sand, which runs down the spaces between the stones. "See, says the lecturer. "The container wasn't full, but now it is."
A student comes down from the audience, cracks open a can of beer, and pours it into the cylinder, filling the spaces between the grains of sand. "See", says the student. "Even if you think your life is completely full, there's always room for beer."
@Mike403 ~ lol ~ 5 seconds later...
Lol yes 🤣
That's a serious lockdown.
I keep wondering if coal and oil are actually carbon sequestration by a former civilization ; like we keep worrying about future generations digging up our nuclear waste.
I walked into a store today, rather absent-mindedly, and a security guard told me that I had to wear a face-covering. "Of course", I said, reaching into my pocket. "To stop the spread of coronavirus." "No Sir", he replied. "It's because you're very ugly."
I recently asked my massage therapist if we could use bacon grease instead of her usual lotion. I explained I wanted to be irresistible to my wife. (True story)
@dontremember I loved that.
It reminds me of this Swedish comedian, Carl-Einar Häckner:
OMG! @respectful and @dontremember ~ Hilarious! 🤣
