It began with portion size.

"So when we see a sensational and alarming news headline, do you think we should or shouldn't try to determine the truth of the matter before we go into full outrage mode?"

In today's world u can't know (or trust) the truth about anything unless u directly experience it. Under such circumstances, i choose not to concern myself with any of it and instead stay focused on myself and my own improvement.

Take this claim that Maduro lost the election. Did he? Can u trust anything u hear about it? Shirley not. But that's okay becuz u scrub the whole thing, anyway; whether he lost it or not, the Venezuelan government is not composed of the Venezuelan working classes, so it's irrelevant anyway. That is, it duddint matter if he lost or not becuz the whole thing is wrong, illegitimate.

Thank wokism. They've messed with word meanings to the point where nothing means anything any more. Fuck those self-serving, hypocritical morons.

When did we ever have a sense of proportion?

I'm afraid I can't give you an exact date, henry.

It was likely sometime between 1452 and 1519. As with linear perspective on a two dimensional canvas, whatever is personally close appears disproportionately larger than even mountains. On the other hand, some people like Trump who survive death see that the mountains are actually larger and proportion depends on where one stands in space and on issues.

Yes, having a sore ear certainly gives you a whole new outlook on life.

Wasn't what on base 2 in a 4 based system, halfway home by the math but a mile away in reality even after who got a hit, unless what is a pro playing in the little league, which wouldn't be pro-portional, especially if he slid into home with spikes high.

yes, what's on second - who was on first but their batting order was never established

K: upon further reflection, what do you offer instead of ''WOKE"" What
specific policies and actions would you take? and don't be lazy
and say, reject ''WOKE"", NO, give us some actionable things to do....
instead of being negative, ''WOKE'' is evil, give us something in its
place..... be positive, not negative...
