Tidbits that tell you someone is stupid or not worth further energy
The most reliable way I have of telling if someone is stupid is listening to what comes out of their mouth or reading the words they type.

Really smart people know how to sound like the average stupid people. Some people have gotten smarter as they age but still have the consequences of when they were stupid.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. I don't do any social media and don't get out much. Young people don't have manners these days. Won't take their hat off for the Star Spangled Banner, won't pull over for funeral processions. No respect.

Virtue signaling about some woke thing. It's a dead giveaway that they are insecure and they lack critical thinking ability.

Spanx are like a cross between a lightweight girdle and the top half of support pantyhose. Most married men know what they are because women seem to love them!

I'm not even bothered by stupid people anymore. I accept stupid people and have even made friends with several idiots... They are solid guys. I've found my gripes are personality specific these days. I just can't tolerate a certain type of person and their specific irritating behaviors.

“I’m a saggitarius”

“Gemini’s are not a good match with Capricorns”

Basically anyone who is stupid enough to believe that the constellation that was visible when they were born has any correlation to literally anything other than when their parents boned.

I'm grateful to all the women that made bad decisions in my favor, tattooed or not.

I've been wearing Carhartts for a long time before they were trendy hipsterwear. My work clothes are suitably worn in, but my freshest duds are worn to church, and are noticeably pristine. They'll stay that way until my work clothes deteriorate beyond usefulness, then the fresh ones will be cycled down. Somehow, I don't think this is something that might put you off me, but one never knows.

I don't wear hats without a reason.

The rest of the list seems about right.

If you routinely wear a hat indoors, fine by me. You're telling me something. We all size people up. We are social animals. People certainly do things expressly because they know people will surmise something.


I'm curious - those who exhibit some of the items on your cosmetic list, what does it "tell" you about them?

I'm not really a fan of hats. They give me a headache pretty quickly. I'll wear one if I'm working outside in the sun; never inside. My hair don't care.

In another thread a truck driver said he is a all weather product relocation specialist.
I'll use that or just say I'm retired and my only job is to spoil my grandchildren, I'm
getting pretty good at that.
I wore Carhart heavy winter coats for thirty years, lasted maybe four years before they wore out.

Wearing a hat indoors tells many of us that you have no military service.

Unless one was under arms, as I am all the time, so then it’s okay—right?

hat indoors also could indicate somewhat insecure bald person. I play tennis with an Indian Dr. (dot not feather), in 10 years, have rarely seen him without a ball cap. Guarantee you, he is not stupid.

I saw a guy yesterday outside on a bike, a grown-ass man but on a bike like someone 14 years old would ride.

It's like 95 degrees

He's got a thick, full long sleeve sweatshirt on with the hood pulled up. WTH?
