Confabulation

“Confabulation involves your brain filling in gaps that are missing in your memories to make more sense of them. This isn't lying, but rather remembering details that never happened. Confabulation tends to increase with age.”

(Comment: Remembering details that never happened is believing your own confabuation in order to make others believe your confabulation.)

https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-th ... ct-4589394

Confabulate and you confabulate alone.
Effect The Mandela and the world confabulates with you.

For example:

- For whatever reason, Brandon’s personal stories are grandiose confabulations. When he speaks he is confabulating and if you hear him you are hearing a lifetime of practice in action, so congratulations on being confabulated!

- There are also self-deprecating confabulations. Unless you are a clown the pitfall of self-deprecating-confabulation is that plenty of other folks are willing, eager, and able to casually do your deprecating for you, set it into stone, and landscape it like a memorial.

Blabbit/ing -- to talk enthusiastically about something mundane, inane, or irrelevant.

"..the fuck"

This is a coin of fairly recent age. No one ever said it when I was a child.
In those days it was [i]fucking this [/i]and [i]fucking that[/i]. Or [i]you filthy fucker.[/i] Never "the fuck".

I hate it when you see in in historical films since it collapses the [i]suspension of disbelief[/i] necessary for the drama to do its work. A bit like Roman Centurion with a wrist- watch.

EV Range Anxiety (EVRA):

Although the centralized government has created the conditions that produce EV Range Anxiety, the centralized government can attribute the cause of EV Range Anxiety to the “settled science” of climate change that causes the cold that kills the manufacturer’s promises of distance.

Climate-blame for EV Range Anxiety can be broadcast by government institutions, media outlets, and other minions until this cause becomes common knowledge, and any disagreement then becomes Misinformation/Opinion, to be punished accordingly.

Government-approved medicines for EVRA can be developed after the government declares an emergency, and tax dollars will pay for your cure if you qualify, or if you're an illegal alien. (Illegal alien may soon become an illegal term and punishable if spoken or written). If the medicine isn't effective, or damages your body, the government can develop another medicine to counteract those effects, although it may not cover that cost unless you're essential.

The cure for EV Range Anxiety? Simply become a government-approved elite via the various schemes, such as wealth or government perks, that will fill your gas-guzzler's climate-immune energy reserves with carbon credits.

Carbon Credits is also The Party's plan for repleating the US Strategic Oil Reserves, i.e. military energy reserves, that were drained for The Party's political purposes, which somehow involved selling some of it to China.

'karen' is just a misogynistic arsewipe of a label, an excuse to belittle anything a woman says.

‘Karen’ especially applies to woke suburban women.

Maybe it was said when you were a child, and it just wasn't said around children, like it is now.

Your exposure could have been atypical. Folks used to not talk like that around the little children. Mass media has made common what was once considered a corruption, and when it comes to discourse it appears that life imitates media.

Lawfare

Think about "warfare," and you get the meaning of Lawfare.


For example: The Left commits Lawfare against The United States, and with weapons such as the policies of Obama/Biden.
