Yep, that’s the trick. Not everyone is a blagger, but most people are!
I’d say 5% or less of people I’ve met are actually excelling in their lives/careers, 90% of people I know are just doing the bare minimum or are just lucky enough to scrape by and the remaining 5% are the people that don’t give a fuck.
Genetically, we are cavemen, trying to navigate our lives through a modern society that has extremely little resemblance to the savannah that we evolved on, don’t let imposter syndrome get you down!
The real mind fuck for me was the realisation that we’re all just blobs of genetics navigating ourselves through a cold and uncaring universe and that free will is an illusion.
People hate the idea that they’re not in control of their destinies.
It’s a classic mix of uppers/downers. Surely you’ve heard of popular mixes like vodka and red bull?
The alcohol fucks you up but it also makes you slower and more tired, that’s where the caffeine comes in.
For me personally it can lead to getting blackout drunk, it’s as if the brain has switched off but the body just keeps on going, which is usually followed by regret the next day.
The sort of personal that insists on calling a ton a megagram is probably going to be the same sort of insufferable Jimmy Neutron arsehole that insists on calling salt “sodium chloride”, yes you’re technically correct, but people experience food as salty and no one is going to say “this food is very sodium chloridy!”

I know you’re being fecetious, but there is clearly a difference in using something as a tool for the purpose of killing and accidental road traffic deaths.
When did I defend them? Please don’t put such vile accusations towards me.
I’m merely saying the situations aren’t comparible. I did NOT say that I condone antisemitism or twitter’s decision on the matter, I literally said that the username was offensive. Jesus Christ.
Fucking hell. I DID NOT MAKE THAT CLAIM. YOU ARE PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH AND INCREDIBLY INCENDIARY ONES AT THAT!!!
I’m sorry that you have incorrectly interpreted my claim of two situations being different as defence of one of them. My claim that two situations are not comparable is not synonymous with with the idea that one of them is OK, you have read between the lines when there is nothing there to read.
For the record, I would like to state that I am against antisemitism, nazi propaganda, genocide, “twitter killing people” or whatever this fucking moron is going to accuse me of next.
