I'll take Biden all day, every day over trump, all rational people would.

I saw what you did you sneaky, filthy girl! 

Using the Newspeak "rational people".

It's the woke term replacing "emotional people".

Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky!

I've been referring to rational people as rational people since I first started seeing all the maga clowns who live in their alternate reality.

It's human nature to want to see yourself in a favorable light.

I don't agree with that. Most people know themself. Good or bad.

People are not "good or bad", they are good and bad -- and that holds true even for monsters like Stalin and Mao.

Your statement does not reflect the complexity of human beings. You could spend an entire lifetime endeavoring to know yourself and you would not have perfect self-knowledge.

Human perception is inherently imperfect, and by extension, so too is our capacity for "knowing". This is why I encourage people to acquire knowledge of psychology, as it gives insight into how our minds function.

Eyes do not "see". All they do is relay optic data to the mind, which assembles it into images in accordance with our experiences, emotions, beliefs, preconceptions, etc.

If I say that I know myself, it's because I want to see myself in a favorable light -- and in so doing I preclude the possibility of gaining self-knowledge, because I'm convinced that I already have it.

I remember Duchess saying something about me,  something like that I was a combination of bitch and patting myself on the back for helping the homeless  (or something like that,  it was a while ago and I'm not interested in digging it up).   But anyway,  I have a friend who organizes a 'day of caring ' for the homeless every couple of weeks.   She takes in and washes clothing donations,  does food drives, approaches hair dressors to get free haircuts for the homeless,  and gets a local restaurant to donate cooked grab and go meals.  
She doesn't get a fucking penny to do all this, she just does it.    She also has a 4 foot trump sign in her yard.  
She must be insane for supporting trump and worrying about the homeless.   The nerve of her for volunteering her time and efforts.   

I have yet to meet one fucking liberal Democrat,  who volunteers their time for anything that doesn't benefit themselves. Not one!  As a matter of fact,  everyone I know,  who volunteers for a cause that actually helps people,  is also a Republican.   
Liberals will only help if it involves getting paid, or benefits them somehow.

Yeah . . . but for the love of all that is holy and sacred, avoid the the sources that Piggy used for his journey and pontifications regarding psychological insight.

"Optic data to the mind" . . . cognitive and confirmation biases' kissing cousin.

Speaking of Piggy, he seems to have gone missing. Someone should probably try to find him, and who better than you?

Same here. Only one heatwave this summer, back in May. Won't be too surprised if we get one in October.
